oof. so, information is physical. that means that 'decoupling information from physical real storage' is up there with "perpetual motion machine". if you did that, it wouldn't be information or usable anymore. there is a theoretical lower limit on the amount of energy to store a single bit. get on libgen and grab yourself a book on information theory.
'the information: a history, a theory, a flood' for pop-sci outlining of the concepts, but it was written a while ago so some of the 'lets see how this goes' near the end is kind of hilarious when you look at the neon-genesis-evangellion assed megaproject-to-kill-truth thing.
'elements of information theory' is fine if you're comfy enough with equations rather than narratives.
if you want to do something about the problems, try mutual aid. try organizing. get a gun. you're gonna have to kill some nazis, if you want to keep all your friends. It's worth it, if you've still got most of yours.
okay so like, i wasn’t being facetious in a meta sense but was being facetious in of that i was joking and knew what i said was nigh impossible.
jeez now that i say it like that no wonder my attempt at humor didn’t land lmao. i’m sorry i’m pretty sure im autistic in some way. anyway i do computer science irl as a career and hobby, i think data as a concept is the biggest revolution since the wheel.
hard agree tho. secure weapons, food+water, and knowledge. the only way to ride the storm.
definitely scared for my generation’s “shot heard round the world” moment
okay sure, but, like, you're gonna want some other stuff too. maybe enough friends to start putting a society together?
