How are trust scores calculated?

Haha I’ll think I’ll let it slide this time! Just reported it as honored 👍🏻

Almost done rereading Orwell’s 1984.

We’ll have to chat at some point about how to interpret these primitives so they can be used by GrapeRank. For now, I’m making good progress on Brainstorm. As of right now, development Brainstorm instances calculate, every 6 or 12 or 24 hours or thereabouts, personalized GrapeRank scores for the Brainstorm instance owner as well as a list of friends (or customers) of the owner, and exports them using NIP-85. That way, personalized WoT scores will be easily and readily available for use by any nostr client that wants them. Right now I’m working on tools for the instance owner to manage the list of friends/customers. Pretty soon it will be time to showcase what clients can do with the scores.

Cool! Have a date set yet?

The EEG of someone under anesthesia looks quite distinct from any of the normal brain states (stage 1, stage 2, REM, or slow wave sleep). If anesthesia is deep enough, you see a pattern on EEG called burst suppression, which means bursts of electrical activity interspersed with periods where activity is almost completely suppressed. If anesthesia is deep enough, the bursts disappear completely. https://eegatlas-online.com/index.php/en/alphabetical-index/burst-suppression-guest

An important book, well worth the time spent

The book explicitly asks the question: why? Why does the Party exist, and why does O’Brien do what he’s doing to Winston? I think the book’s answer is partially correct, but incomplete. O’Brien states, correctly, that they’re motivated by the desire for power. But the book doesn’t explain why O’Brien wants this particular type of power. Why is Winston’s mental, spiritual, emotional capitulation so important if O’Brien is just gonna kill him anyway? Also: is O’Brien a true believer, a genuine practitioner of Doublespeak? Does he drink his own kool-aid? Has O’Brien himself internalized the twisted epistemology that he manages to sell so effectively to Winston? The book states that the Inner Party members do in fact practice Doublespeak, implying that this should be the case for O’Brien as well. But why, and how, does O’Brien gain the ability to practice Doublespeak so well? Is it simply bc he knows what will happen to him if he doesn’t? Because if that is the case, then O’Brien’s primary motivation is not a desire for power; his primary motivation is fear. Or perhaps, in true Doublespeak fashion, it’s both at the same time. So I don’t feel like the book gives us clear answers. I suspect Orwell himself didn’t have a full understanding of the big picture. Pretty sure this was my take when I first read this decades ago, and I’ve been simmering on it, trying to answer the unanswered questions ever since.
