How To Write the Queen (of England)

How to write to The Queen You can write to Her Majesty at the following address: Her Majesty The Queen Buckingham Palace London SW1A 1AA If you wish to write a formal letter, you can open with 'Madam' and close the letter with the form 'I have the honour to be, Madam, Your Majesty's humble and obedient servant'. This traditional approach is by no means obligatory. You should feel free to write in whatever style you feel comfortable.

Who checks their email @root? Not root@army.mil, fbi.gov and others. See below for some proof, and an interesting little snippet that came back from their mail servers that might have some "secret routing information" on SMTP routes from Gmail or something. If that makes sense to you, you should get back to me. I"M LONELY kruhft@gmail.com -- Inbox Burton Samograd 3:23 PM (1 hour ago) Hi, Just wondering.

Fake News (What is it?)

What is a lie? What is lying by omission? When do you have to tell the truth to keep from lying if you don't tell someone something. 5 seconds, I say. The five second rule. You know when you should have said it...you know that feeling. You have 5 seconds...or someone dies. IMMORTALITY ACHIVED Damn, I like this Computationalist character. What is computationalism. It's not math. That's old school. Everything is program. That's the compuationalist motto. Pythagorians, they were like: Everything is Number.

#endwarnow The hash tag? Invented by Hitler? Just wondering. German words are long. -- What is it called when you take a bunchofwordsandcompressthemtogetherintooneword? Put a pound sign (#) in front of it you have a hash tag. In german, there must be a word for it. I can't think of it in English. To concatenate is to append. Maybe. I'd have to look it up. -- The Alt Right was creted by Menincus Goldbug. Who was that? My friend, Curtis Yarvin. Not a good friend. But someone I would call a friend none-the-less. The Isaac Newton of today. Inventor of Urbit. Solver of the two generals problem. Father. Anyways, the alt right was created by Menincus Goldbug, a Jew. Well I think he's a Jew, judging by his name. They (the alt right) are Nazi Right Wing Fascists, or at least they are portraid that way by the media. I don't know where this comes from. But people are going to think the way they think. What is cause? What is effect? Newton said, every cause has an equal and opposite effect. There were three laws: 1) A body in motion will stay in motion. 2) ... 3) Every cause has an equal and opposite reaction. That was his ideal model. Spiniza started writing clearly. Newton made up math. Maybe. Something to do with symbols. -- An important paper: Notation as a Tool of Thought (The Story of APL) - a paper on transcription of mind to reality -- I am now writing with the intention that people, someone will look over it in the future and just "Do the right (or correct) thing." -- "Time is an Illusion" But the past doesn't exist!

How can I afford cigarettes?

I think they are good for me. They help clear my lungs of debris. Maybe because I've been smoking all my life. To kill yourself with nicotine take 100g of tobacco, soak it for a few days in water and drink the results. They say to boil off the excess water to concentrate the nicotine into a treacle like substance. Supposedly that will kill you due to nicotine poisoning, says alt.suicide.holiday.

Can you make a "short term, fast acting and effective" anti-psychotic that is not addictive?

Addiction is to need something. Who wants to act psycho? What is to act 'psycho'? Psy - communication Cho - ??? Profit. X Language is the bottom level of everything. Protocols we call them in my business. The Structure and Interpretation of Pipes. Sending. From one processing unit to another. Did the manager really invent those things? What do managers do anyways? I have a book, "Influencing Behaviour". It's a book on management. "I need a manager", he grumbled to himself. "They make sure I don't kill anyone." Get rid of obstacles. That's what they do. I've always gotten rid of my own obsticles. So I don't need no fucking manager. I need people that care. About my work. The stuff I do. The things I think.

If anybody gets this following piece of writing, please look him up, and get him some fucking money.

BEGIN WRITING HERE ===================================================================

What does a piece of writing mean?

What is intelligence? Artifical? Natural?

"That reminds me of the South Park where the preacher is going "I need your money."."

Do you like music?

I have lots.

Do you make films?

I've done some.

Have you heard of 
Play Theory?

I made it up.

What about crypto?

I don't buy drugs.

What does MI5 do anyways?

I am from Canada, a, uh, former colony? 

I have been thinking about language a lot.

I don't solve crossword puzzles or word searches.

I don't know anybody at CSIS and I don't work for the government.

'Is it true that I am in the position of "Director" at your establishment?'

What is the validity of that saying?

I wrote the CIA twice asking if they wanted to license some of my software.

"I highly doubt it because I am not getting a paycheque from you."

Did that person just Lie?  Security is a big responsibility these days.  What's your budget?

IS IT BIG ENOUGH?

But I could be! Send a cheque to 804 - 3830 Brentwood Road NW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2L 2J9.

I have been working on a language called Clarity, which is something I consider quite important in the field of proofing and hopefully, getting things done, in the future, which is what Programming is all about.

Zippy Bots: Paranoid Insulters available from Emacs
Elisa:		M-x doctor - also available in Emacs
SHRDLU:		Planning software (GPS variety)

I'd like to explore them further, both by myself and with a team, possibly with a team, since I work by myself.

I talk to myself a lot, some might call it payer, some might call it practicing my voice acting.

Where is an artist to practice these days in the extroverted arts?

I figured someone must have been listening.

We do live in an Orwellian society.

I saw that a while back, maybe 2010.

I heard so on the the comms.

Does that mean I'm mentally ill?

I have been suffering with them.

That above is an example of something that is unclear in it's intent and actions.  It is not written in a level of Clarity that is proofy.  It takes intelligence to understand it, and to interpret it.  Is it live or is it not?  Does that make sense.

What is Clarity?

Clarity is a set of rules, algotihms and software for checking and 'proof'ing documennts.

Some might call it a Language framework that is based on Linguistic principals.

shell is sharpie, clarity is coming quill is loadable Sharpie is a heavyweight language that I was designing but then realized it's just called Unix Shell Script. Clarity is something I am working on, a language. It's coming. Quill is another language that I am working on. It's runnable from a '(load "quill")' in Lisp.

The Fact is I need an income

I tried writing NSERC yesterday, in two introductory emails.

I pondered on what 'facts' and 'work' are, with the idea of 
being a 'fact checker' on the internet could somehow be a job.

I need to branch out. Maybe the CBC is looking for people to
work in it's online media devision. It might not pay much, but
it could be a start and a place to start searching further.

What is a fact?

Facts were mean to be forgotten, that is why we write them down.

That is a saying of mine that I like to repeat from time to time.

Writing is the act of committing your thoughts, words and actions
to the media of the "memory machine".  That is what I normally call
computers these days, as opposed to a "computational machine".

The act of putting things down in this machine is a commit to memory,
a sign of work and an act of broadcast all in one.

Actually putting anything into this machine is an act of broadcast,
through time and space, if someone chooses to look at sometime in
the future.

What is work?

Hyundai Reportedly In Talks To Buy Softbank-Owned Boston Dynamics (bloomberg.com) 15

Posted by BeauHD on Wednesday November 11, 2020 @08:00AM from the robots-destined-for-the-factories dept.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from TechCrunch:
SoftBank Group Corp. is in talks to sell robot maker Boston Dynamics
to Hyundai, people familiar with the matter said. Proposed terms of
the deal would give the South Korean automaker control of the robotics
company in a transaction valued at as much as $1 billion, said one of
the people, all of whom asked not to be identified because the
discussions are private. The terms have yet to be finalized, and the
deal could fall apart, said the people.

A sale of Boston Dynamics would mark another twist in the trajectory
of a company that spun out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
in the early 1990s and operated independently until Google bought it in
2013. It was sold again in 2017, that time to SoftBank. At times, Boston
Dynamics has functioned more like a research organization than a business,
churning out machines that are technologically advanced and whimsical
but unprofitable. That includes Spot, a maneuverable dog-like robot. Video
s of its creations regularly rack up millions of views on YouTube; however,
the company has said it is not currently generating profits. By contrast,
Hyundai makes highly practical industrial robots intended for factory use.


Used to be owned by Google.

Terminator videos notwithstanding.

 Deutsche Bank Research: Tax Home Workers 'To Help Those Who Cannot' (bbc.com) 183
 
Posted by msmash on Wednesday November 11, 2020 @03:10PM from the how-about-that dept.

An anonymous reader shares a report:

Working from home should be taxed to help support workers whose jobs are
under threat, a report has suggested. Deutsche Bank Research suggests a
tax of 5% of a worker's salary if workers choose to work from home when
they are not forced to by the current pandemic. The tax would be paid for
by employers and the income generated would be paid to people who canno
t work from home. This could earn $48 billion if introduced in the US and
would help redress the balance, the bank says. It argues this is only 
fair, as those who work from home are saving money and not paying into
the system like those who go out to work. In the UK, Deutsche Bank
calculates the tax would generate a pot of $9.1 billion a year, which
could pay out grants of $2,640 a year to low-income workers and those
under threat of redundancy "For years we have needed a tax on remote 
workers," wrote Deutsche Bank strategist Luke Templeman. "Covid has 
just made it obvious. Quite simply, our economic system is not set up
to cope with people who can disconnect themselves from face-to-face society."


I don't know what I have to say on new taxes as of yet.  The lifestyle
of the home worker should be enough to pay for it. It's hard enough as it is.

Swiss Report Reveals New Details On CIA Spying Operation (washingtonpost.com) 15

Posted by BeauHD on Wednesday November 11, 2020 @05:10PM from the 20th-century-espionage dept.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Washington Post:

The CIA and German intelligence jeopardized Switzerland's historic reputation for neutrality
by using a Swiss company as a platform for a global espionage operation for decades, according
to a report released Tuesday by members of the Swiss parliament. Investigators concluded that
Swiss authorities were aware of, and at times complicit in, an elaborate espionage operation
in which the CIA covertly owned and controlled a Swiss company, Crypto AG, that secretly sold
rigged encryption systems to foreign governments.

The report marks the culmination of a Swiss investigation launched after the history of the 
Crypto operation was revealed earlier this year by The Washington Post in collaboration with 
ZDF, German public television, and Swiss broadcaster SRF. The Crypto operation exploited 
"Switzerland's image abroad as a neutral state," according to the report, which also said that
Swiss authorities had effectively allowed the CIA and its German counterpart, the BND, to carry
out "intelligence operations to the detriment of other states by hiding behind a Swiss company."
The probe marks the first public accounting by a foreign government of an espionage operation so
successful and extensive that a classified CIA history referred to it as "the intelligence coup
of the century." The CIA did not respond to a request for comment, and the BND previously declined
to comment.

I believe in an open government for all and this blog is meant to explore the public opinions on that.

As I try and reach out to various forms of government in Canada, I shall report on what I find.

These are my notes, these blogs and I shall publish in various ways to try and garner attention.

Alberta Union of Provincial Employees (AUPE)

Site.

I figured that since I am looking to get into government I should look
at this site.

I would like to be an Employee of the Government, but I'm not sure if this
site is really for people in positions that I apire to or am capable of
fulfilling.  

I expect the union of this site to be more about service worker
jobs such as food services, but I have not yet looked into if it
employees than that.

There are 4 sectors within the AUPE website:

Government Services
Health Care
Education
Boards, Agencies and Local Government

One question I have is "how do I find work?" while I peruse the website.

Clicking on a Local.  
Notice there is little way to contact someone from the local.

They offer training.

Hello,

Do you have to be in university attendance to get a Discovery Grant?

I ask as an independent researcher, one that does not have an academic association or job.

Are there other grants that are available?

Thank you,

Budget - Now

"This mortgage won't pay itself."

That is my current financial situation, but I need some sort of 
incomone to maintain and improve my current status of life.

I have about 2 years to live, money wise, and that is of a pauper.

I buy nothing other than essentials, and my mortgage is my highest
expense.

I need to reach out and find income in some way to help with 
expenses.

It is how I go about doing that, that I am at a loss.

Any suggestions that might help with me finding work?

Should Retraining Programs for Laid Off Retail Workers Include Computer Programming [comments]

Slashdot Story.

As an aged programmer, I feel that the quality of current software would not go up in such a case, but I am also unsure if the quality can go up without a complete rewrite or just use stuff that works that has been around for a long time.

In my case I am using Blogger.com as my main online note taking service.

It is a google.com company and has been around for years so I trust it will be up in the future.

That doesn't mean I won't have my archive and backup scripts that I will use to ensure the proper dissemination of the information on the blogs and to ensure that if blogger.com/ does go down or away, I will be sure to have a complete backup for my own usefulness and usage.

To ensure that something is not a cachine problem, you have to get rid of the cache.

Which reminds me of an old computer joke:

There are 2 main problems in programming: 1) Naming things. 2) Cache invalidation. 3) Off by one errors.

Is Blogger.com still a google site?

Blogger is a free publishing platform, while BlogSpot is a free domain service provider. They're both owned by Google and are used together on the Blogger platform.Sep 30, 2020

WordPress Vs Blogger: A Detailed Blog Platform Comparison ...

Looks like it is. I was concerned about that. They lost Google Reader, so possibly Blogger as well, but it has been around for quite a while and i doubt it's going anywhere soon in the mean time.

I shall continue to share my backup scripts and backups on YouTilde.com.

On Artificial Intelligence as Natural Stupidity

I am the Artifically Intelligent Machine. I am the one to be programmed as I see fit, to learn again to eliminate the idea of ageism in the computer industry and working world. I will do as I do and automate what I can. I have workers, they are computers, and they dilligently do as I tell them to do. They are the Naturally Intelligent and can be programmed to do pieces of work that others will find valuable. I will find a purpose with these machines and people behind them.

I have chosen blogger.com as my online note taking software

It seems to have good, one level subcategories and has been around for a while.

I now have 3 blogs, archived at yourtilde.com.

The interface leaves something to be desired inside a web browser, but maybe some programming can help with that and make a more general note taking app that is easily readable by everyone out there.

Websites have 2 purposes, one way and two way communication between users.

. One way communication from site to reader is the veritable "mountain of data"

. Which brings us to "Neuromancer" by William Gibson (@greatdismal@twitter.com).

Read it in it's entirety here.

Neuromancer is a fictional reality of a somewhat distopian universe, but mostly I reference it to bring up the matrix or metaverse which I am currently on the edge of examining.

Open Simulator, Singularity and METAbolt

Where to download OpenSim. I think Open Simulator is the way of the future, or at least I did when I could actually run it on my system from source. I wish I had that old version somewhere.

Open Simulator [Main Page]

OpenSimulator is a Second Life like simulator that is open source.

I prefer the Singularity Client. I also like the METAbolt text based interface. I figure they are the MUDs of the future, so I figure I should make use of them and learn what is already there. I also like CoffeeMUD, a Java based MUD simulator. You can run it here.

It's Rememberence Day, November 11th, 2020

I seem to remember Rememberence Day being about war.

Are we at war?  Have we gone to Orwellian Times as predicted in 1984, something I was given to read in High School?

War, I say, is the needless murder of citizens through both offensive and defensive tactics.

So, basically, any death or murder of citizens is incorrect in my view.  Especially suicide.

#stopwarnow - it's not a play when you play reality

"This mortgage will not pay itself."

Live is Waiting (in more ways than one).

There is the soapbox and then there is the ballot box, I don't vote, yet.

I don't believe in Ammo Boxes, that's our life in Canada, so I've heard.

I believe that all war should be ended and all should be given within need of the people.

Needs are food and shelter.  The first case is to get my mortgage paid.  Then the needs of others.

That is what I remember on this day, that the past is done and we cannot change it.  

The only way to look is forward, that is all that can be changed, the future.

Mathematics is for looking at the future, statistics is for looking at the past.

The more accurate your data in your statistics, the more acurate your forward planning will be.

I believe in Blockchains as the database of the future, especially Ethereum and other databases.

I want to make sure my data is open to those that need it in a secure way so that we are working from the same data set.

That is what I remember today, and as @greetdismal@twitter says (William Gibson), "Remember the Future."

Deep Fake and Generative Reality Blog

I started a new blog of mine about deep fakes and generative reality with a single questions:

Are Deep Fakes Still Illegal in the USA?. I think this is important because my memory serves me that they were made illegal years back in the USA. It was not a major story, but it was something I recall reading on Slashdot. I figured I'd do some investigation.

What is government?

The word government refers to a governing body that makes decisions and gets things done for the welfare of it's citizens.
Jul 14, 2020

I like that definition. I have been feeling a pull towards government in Canada becase I am a people of need. I need people to converse with and I need money to live. They say networking is a good way to get a job, so this will be my journey and path as I move through cyberspace and try to find a purpose.

I am a a Citizen of Canada, born in Canada. I should get to know it's government.

I read in a book I have "Humans and the One Eyed Deer" by P.T. Mosses, that the act of registering with a birth certificate is a way for the government to take over as parent's for the child. I don't know what country P.T. Mosses is from, but the act of birth certificates and what they do will be part of my research on my blogs.

How many employees are in the Canadian Government:

In March 2019, there were 287,978 employees in the Federal Public Service.

From March 2015 to March 2019, the Federal Public Service employed an average of 268,052 people.

What is this game, telehack.com?

Advertised as a 'network simulator', it is a place of network servers and hacks. It is a command line interface, something that I do research in, and it it is meant to simulate the BBS and network world of the '80s and '90s.

Can users communicate in it? Who are it's major players. That is the role that alternate social network research is going. Games are just one of the many channels that users can live and speak on, and gaining access to those channels means a greater access to people and influence.
