it's summer vacation and if you've been following this account for some time you know what that means: I can buy weed here without any of Ontario's stupid rules attached

I have made a map, of sorts.

Let's say you're given a reasoning problem.

What aspect of that problem exactly decides if you think too much? Not enough? Just right?

What aspect of the problem decides if you will succeed at this task?

Are these the same? (spoiler: no, these are orthogonal)

This work sits at the intersection of cognition, AI and information theory.

The compute scale is fun: I ran 500 trillion maths per second for two weeks to produce this data. I haven't even looked up the word for a number that big.

I may have accidentally conducted the largest cognitive experiment in history.

I have somewhere around 1 billion words of thought arranged along a multi dimensional grid of difficulty with thousands of tests per sample

The patterns I've found are elegant, beautiful, and profound.

Now what though?

Today I’m writing about some It Came From The Kush live rosin, from a brand that calls itself The Goo!. I bought mine from Mendo.

My gram came in a standard large plastic top, small glass jar bottom, with a plastic seal under the lid.

"why do you have all these video cards?"

so I can run 256 artificial brains in parallel and observe them thinking through reasoning puzzles that I'm sweeping across 3 dimensions of difficulty in an effort to uncover the fundamental laws of thought

err.. I mean.. minecraft

decided life is too short for a slow, old printer

i heard the first few notes of the star wars theme while printing a duck

multicolor is a sweet bonus

testing the stupid robots ability to sort words

the generator for this is sorta clever, and will pick sets of runs of dictionary words to permute..

it spat out "Birmingham Bishop imposes IMPOSSIBLE flowerpot" and I can't stop 😂

small power delivery failure after 2 days at 1000W solid

this cable is way, way out of spec

A molex to 2 sata cable with both 12v wires melted

a milliohm meter measuring the cable reading 207 (which is 5-10x too high and why things melted)

Today I’m taking a look at the Stoned Fruit Slurricane flower from Magi Cannabis on Saltspring Island in BC. My 3.5g bag was purchased from Herbal Dispatch.

Gear and chain should be able to survive the sand as long as you can keep the motor coupling sealed away from the grit..

It would also look dope AF

Reverse-waterfall dehumidifier is a solid idea imo, with the specific heat of hand so low I wouldn't worry about what little heat you'd waste on the sand. the tough part is the arbasive aspect, how to move the sand back to the top without slow killing any mechanical parts involved

Air conveyor?

WhatsMyPot ☮️ @whatsmypot.com · Jun 2

Neat idea. Practical trouble would be reliability, sand is abrasive as hell as far as fluids go, and the fact that specific heat of sand actually sucks it only holds like 1/4th the heat that water does so you'd need so much more of it

found some fun weed yesterday that I haven't seen in Ontario shops:

Hash Bullets from Simply Bare

rather then just being infused with hash, these tiny little .3g prerolls are 100% hash

beautifully slow, flavorful burn

might have to snag another pack on the way home

Simply Bare Hash Bullets
34.2% thc
Total terpenes 1.12%

inside the package, 3 small dog walker type of joints under individual cellophane

a hand holding a burning pre roll
good looking white ash, lots of oil

I had similar reservations but they burn perfect. I might rip the last one apart to confirm the trick, I'd bet the middle is hollow
