Gentlemen of the "virtuals"... Watch the movie "The 13th Floor". It's about that topic.
 

And my ramblings, even more rambling:)

Lately, man is spending more and more time in virtual space. It would be quite logical to "transfer" personality to this very space, we are supposed to be some kind of algorithm recorded on brain cortex, and the body is "hardware". That is, our personality is digitized and stored on some separate server, in the form of a file - settings of weights for the neural network, and it is possible to attach wheels, radars, or something else to this server.

Further. The computer network does not have one single centre. The PCs can operate both online and offline. Information can be stored on only one PC, or duplicated on several PCs, or be distributed in parts on different PCs.

So there you go. It's said to be repetitive. What if something similar was already done by a previous race, only they had PCs made of organic materials? So our bodies are the robots/computers of our ancestors. When we are awake we are offline, when we are asleep we are connected to the network. And if we consider the possibility of duplication/storage of information, a whole world could exist in a network of human brains, both in the form of objects (buildings, landscape) and some entities/algorithms that have no servers/body of their own.

It is also possible that humans (and maybe animals) are mobile servers - able to move around, but with weak computational abilities. And there are some stationary powerful servers in the form of pyramids, there are legends that the entrance to Shambhala on Kailas (mountain in the form of a pyramid).

In general it is harmful to think much about the world order, you can dislocate your brain and get into an asylum:)

 

There's a great storyin here. Isaac Asimov. "The Last Question."

It's on point.

[#103137] You can't view this thread. And Asimov's stories are all great.
 
Rorschach:

And I'd simulate reality, with some kind of step forward and just keep track of what's going on there, and maybe even lots of it. Purely a mercantile application... All these realities are drafts ...and that's it. I know, it's not nice to know ))))

The Last Question is powerful stuff. Metagalactic. :) Nah. Universal!

The last question is a powerful thing. Metagalactic. :) Nah. Universal!
Powerful book. From the beginning, I had a suspicion that it would end like this.

there's nothing new here... it doesn't matter what stimulates our moguls - the apple or the www.

the virtuality described above is just a variation on the virtuality of our thinking space

 

Non-serious spelling rules )

Modern citizens are in great debt to the Russian language. Almost everyone makes all sorts of mistakes in writing and speech, even those to whom perfect knowledge of Russian is imposed by job description: copywriters, account managers, PR-managers and journalists. And we, too, are sometimes different, needless to say ... )



Spelling, syntax, punctuation and morphology aren't the most exciting things in the world. But any, even the most boring information can be easily and relaxed learned, if it is interesting and fun to serve. This material contains 45 rules of the Russian language, with just the right amount of mistakes. And clearly, and fun.

1. a dash between a subject-noun and a predicate-verb - is not put.
2. Remember that in most cases the conjunction "about" can be eliminated.
3. If you want to use a verb, you must conjugate it correctly, not as the author wants you to.
4. The passionate voice should usually be avoided.
5. Don't forget the 'e', otherwise you won't be able to tell the difference between case and case, heaven and sky, donkey and donkey, perfect and perfect, all and all.
6. Whoever is not a cheeky and not out of chyashchy, correctly spells the vowels after the snapping ones.
7. Shine with a non-superficial sense of language when writing unpronounceable consonants.
8. Come to understand that you can only spell 'come'.
9. In the future we will become more skilful and our texts will contain fewer and fewer letters.
10. A soft sign in an indefinite verb should be determined by its presence in the question of the verb, which is sometimes forgotten.
(11) Don't use two "nots" in a row unless it's absolutely necessary.
12. The word "no" has no form of change.
13. Half of Russia won't know how to spell compound nouns without a half litre.
14. It's bad style to end a sentence with a pronoun, that's not what it's for.
15. Anyone who ends a sentence with a preposition, send them to. Not for the sake of rudeness, but for the sake of order.
16. Don't shorten it.
17. Check for missing and superfluous words in the text.
18. As for unfinished sentences.
19. If incomplete constructions are bad.
20. Nonarcissistic Bank, its President and Chairman of the Board of Directors are capitalised.
21. The rule states that "indirect speech shall not be taken in inverted commas".
22. Don't make a riddle out of the ellipsis at the end of an exhaustive sentence...
23. One exclamation point is enough!!!
24. NEVER !highlight! words. A person who reads a text with EXCLUSIONS feels that his own understanding of meaning is not being understood.
25. Use parallel constructions not only for clarification, but also to clarify.
26. Correct the spelling of words using a dictionary.
27. Numerals up to and including 10 are best written in capital letters.
28. There are a hundred and twenty-five ways to inflect numbers, but only one of them is correct.
29. Use words in a way that is truly meaningful.
30. Do not divide or join differently-synthesized things, and hyphenate some things.
31. An inappropriate analogy in a text looks like a fur coat tucked into your pants.
32. Exaggeration is a million times worse than understatement.
33. Don't apply long words where short-sounding ones can be applied.
34. Suckling is ugh, ugly. Leave it for the little ones, not the big ones.
35. Be more or less specific.
36. As Emerson taught, "Don't quote. Communicate your own thoughts."
37. Who needs rhetorical questions?
38. Words order of speech doesn't change style?
39. An inadvertent verse will confuse your readers' spirits.
40. A verse that rhymes with verbs is the first to go in the trash.
41. If you want to make a name for yourself, you'll have to lay off the jargon.
42. Clarifications in parentheses (though essential) are (usually) unnecessary.
43. Repeating all repetitive single words is tautology - superfluous.
44. If you want to be properly understood, don't use foreign language and barbarisms. Ferstein?
45. For the sake of presentationalism, be a creative promoter of native Russian synonyms to the top of the preference rankings.

All pis, ennoble and smarten up... )))

39. An unintentional verse will bring down the mood of your readers.
40. A verse where the rhyme is built on verbs is the first to be trashed.

Pushkin has 80% of his rhymes verboten.

Vadim Shefner has all prose mixed in with short poems. He's a prose poet. That's how I still remember those poems.
