LSD is a serotonin analog so figure out what your computer uses for serotonin and give it a bunch of that.

it's not that simple yo LSD is also a phenethylamine "analog" and I would never say "analog" in this context

trying to use a computer while tripping isnt fun at all imo

computers are never fun, drugs let you see this

nah computers can be neat sober but i found even sitting in front of one incredibly frustrating, let alone trying to operate one. felt like a huge relief to walk away and go outside

with all these new drugs on the scene (like 1000s in the last few years) where are all the cool psychedelics?

lotsa cannabimimetics. a few speeds etc. what about shjit that blows lsd out of thw ater?

apparently some of the nbome strains have visuals that destroy lSDs (for intensity) but also cause vasoconstriction and maybe death?


anyway cool poo poo on the horizon for chemical printers.



word is that some kind of catalytic printer device is going to exist smetime? basically it can custom cataluse reactions or somethin poo poo?

i bet you could write a program that would run as a process and change random memory locations, but that might have destructive effects.
my graphics card got super trippy the days before it died of heat, stuff in wrong places, wrong colors, etc.

once i took 2mg of 2ci to see if a threshold dose would have any adhd alleviating properties like its cousin, adderall. it didn't, but it did make ssrs tabs change position randomly, and sql to at moments become unreadable nonsense.
also one time we were warching a 3d animated movie, and when it ended the dvd had a looped track of justin bieber pitching some thing, and it took us like 20 minutes to figure put how to make it stop. it was horrible.

once i tried to wrte a evoltuonary thing

my thoughts were that computers are too fickle to just change random poo poo unless you're prepared to put in mega hours of simulation on the offchance that [i]something might work/i]

so i devised a simple language that could easily be mutated and work. basically a "program" was a series of letters. A signified the start of a new command, B-Z was the command and the remaning letters (until the next A) were the variables of the command. and then mutate that string with dchanges or adds or deletes

of course this language/string has to be interpreted so the interepreter is flexible, it can accept things and if it doesnt get what it wants it does die





i mean this was in context of a tree growing. maybe B meant "grow inches" and the following letters were the amount of inches, or C was make a branch etc


and i thought this is more like real evolution anyway, because your genes are more like a program, whereas most evolutionary algos evolve the end product and not the behind hte scenes. like evolving an antenna, they keep changing the end design but nature doesnt evolve the end design, it mutates the genes which vreate the end design and the winner wins out



anyway same idea but drugs

i want to use UE4 to visual this kind of thing happening in real time. i want to make a tree evolving thing but you watch the results in nice 3d

Create a linux virtual machine. Run a script on the parent that creates symlinks to point 10% of the filesystem to other files randomly. Run the child machine for 4 hours in this state and then revert the changes.

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

this is kind of how Eurisko and Cyc work, they're made up of huge bases of heuristics that take a specific format and include heuristics that can generate new ones, remove existing ones, and so on

you'd enjoy reading the three papers titled "The Nature of Heuristics" about Eurisko and "RLL-1: A Representation Language Language" about the language itself and how it was built for self modification
