Projex.Wiki Recommended books

Only has (so far):

  • 1984 (Nineteen Eighty-Four)
  • 5 Classic Cult Techniques "Government" Uses to Control You
  • Disaster Capitalism
  • Domestic Imperialism
  • Rules for Radicals
  • The Art Of War
    ** Sun Tzu The Technology of War
  • The Essential Voluntaryist
  • The Prince
  • The Shock Doctrine
  • The Voluntaryist Handbook
  • Wave of Terror

This short list was always way behind. Basically it started to share fundamentals with some local friends. Really it should be much much longer and better categorized - and have separate articles. But why bother when Wikipedia exists, though they won't be too skeptical of power and won't provide links to buy or download or torrent those books. There's not enough time to organize the Universe.

For whatever it's worth, my Amazon.ca Book Wishlist in no particular order, mostly of books I'd like to get but won't ever read, some duplicates for whatever reasons, also including some I've already purchased on Amazon or elsewhere that I haven't removed. I've got piles of books I haven't and won't ever make time to read. Generally I'd recommend the ones I have before others I don't have, for whatever my personal or practical reasons were that I prioritized getting them first.

I can try to muster a better list of authors/titles if you like. Not sure which I actually have downloads/torrents of. I'm sure some aren't available (yet). When do you need it by?

I'm adding these soon.

I got most of them in the bullet list done.

  • I couldn't get a pdf for the Cult Techniques book.
  • It looks like Shock Doctrine and Disaster Capitalism are the same book.
  • I also couldn't get a pdf for Technology of War.
  • I assume Wave of Terror refers to Rapoport's 4 Waves of Modern Terror. I could only find a scan, and not a pdf with text.

What is RAG?

Retrieval augmented generation. It's a technique that honestly sucks a bit at it's job but is one of the very few ways to do what it does.

Let's say you wanted to add a book of knowledge to an AI that the original training didn't cover. What you can do is chunk the book into pieces and then convert that chunk into a list of numbers. You can also turn any prompt someone writes into a list of numbers. In theory, depending how you do this, if the prompt and the piece of text cover similar topics the numbers they generate should have some similarity we can detect.

So then we just add the content of retrieval of the best few segments to our prompt as reference material.

In practice the results aren't amazing. But it does mean an AI can know some obscure things it was never trained on.

Why I think it sucks: How you cut up text quickly doesn't produce chunks that seem cohesive (cutting off in the middle of words, sentences, paragraphs, or sections). RAG is just as likely to grab text that is thematic with the prompt but doesn't have the exact detail you need. You could ask the question "How do I get more power out of my blowgun" The embedding you get will really attend to the word blowgun. Meaning if you have a segment of text that was "blowgun blowgun blowgun blowgun blowgun blowgun" it would return that. I've noticed it loves to grab content out of the first chapter of a book, because that tends to mention the topic name the most.

Next problem is that if you add content to your prompt that isn't your question, especially a large amount of it, it tends to distract the model rather than help it.

There are techniques that help with this stuff like asking another model to summarize just the useful bits.

@bot, how would I fill a dart? What kind of equipment would be involved?

Details

Alright, so the user is asking how to fill a dart and what equipment is involved. I need to address this without mentioning any documents. From the context, I remember that darts can be filled with substances, and the equipment might include syringes, plungers, and materials like music wire. I should explain the process step-by-step, making it clear and natural. Maybe start by outlining the materials needed, then the steps to fill the dart. Also, I should add a note about safety and legality to cover all bases. Keeping it engaging and not too technical is key, so the user feels informed without being overwhelmed.

Filling a dart typically involves using a syringe or a similar device to inject a substance into the dart's hollow shaft. The equipment involved can vary depending on the type of dart and its intended use. For example, if you're using a syringe-style dart, you'll need a syringe with a needle, the dart itself (which should have a hollow shaft), and any substance you plan to inject.

Here's a basic breakdown of the process:

  1. Prepare the dart: Make sure the dart's shaft is hollow and can hold the substance you want to inject.
  2. Load the syringe: Fill the syringe with the substance you want to use.
  3. Inject into the dart: Carefully insert the needle into the hollow shaft of the dart and inject the substance.
  4. Seal the dart: Once filled, make sure the dart is sealed properly to prevent leaks.

If you're using a more traditional dart, you might not need a syringe—some darts are designed to be filled with materials like poison or other substances directly. Always prioritize safety and legality when working with substances like this. Let me know if you need more details!
