Oh yeah and that was a perfect case to use the blockquote feature :-)
> He was promoted to captain in 1946 and in 1949,
which renders as:
He was promoted to captain in 1946 and in 1949,
Ciro, is there a way to keep contact with you somewhere that is more messaging based?
My main methods are listed at: Section "How to contact Ciro Santilli", Signal is my current favorite one. I'm not very familiar with matrix and xmpp but if you highly prefer those I can give it a shot.
Giorgos Papadopoulos
Cool, I don't know much about Greek history, but I'm not at all surprised that the CIA's tentacles have also reached that part of the world as they had Brazil.
I am programming a TCP server right now
God but why haha
Opa I didn't read the CIA officer post.
John Kyriakoy.... no I don't have any idea who this is. I only know that Giorgos Papadopoulos had very close ties with the CIA, which enforced the view that the US supported the greek dictatorship...
He was promoted to captain in 1946 and in 1949, during the Greek Civil War, to major. (See also Greek military ranks.) He served in the KYP Intelligence Service from 1959 to 1964 as the main contact between the KYP and the top CIA operative in Greece, John Fatseas, after training at the CIA in 1953.[14]
Yes it takes 3 minutes to get to the sea on foot. I am very lucky to be living here...
Ciro, is there a way to keep contact with you somewhere that is more messaging based? Like matrix, xmpp stuff like that. I even have discord although I don't like referring to that :P
Achieving AGI? Good luck with that hahahahaha. I sense that it won't happen any time soon (but I have no proof so this is just a random thought)
I don't have to work. I decided to do it because I am a bit burned out. It's only 4 hours per day, I will still be studying in the morning. I am in the top university yeah, but in Greece the situation is different. You will see many students working, it's normal. In fact I am the lazy one, I haven't worked yet. I don't pay a cent for my university it's all free xD. My monthly costs are about 10 euros. Basically nothing. This is done in order to experiment.
I am programming a TCP server right now in golang. I have made a lot of stuff with golang in the past month. I love golang.
Don't worry I won't become a programmer hahhahahah. This is just my hobby, it makes me feel important. I have been programming for as long as I have been a university student.
And damn it, you really are by the seaside based on the news you linked. Reminds me slightly of myself, spending summers back home in Santos, São Paulo, Brazil.
Btw I've just watched this fantastic interview with an ex-CIA officer of Greek origin and who operated in Greece for some time and then Middle East, maybe you know him, John Kiriakou: www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1kOwRMd3o8 Very interesting stuff!
Also, your replies made me a bit happier, it's somewhat hard to have deeper online connections nowadays. I hope one day OurBigBook can be a venue for just that.
Failure? That implies that there is a predefined goal in life. But that's not the case...
Sure, according to my self set goals in life, which are a mixture of improving education and achieving AGI lol.
Accident
The fuck talk about Spider sense.
I am having interviews too
Shit, shame to hear you have to work. Are you in a top university in your country, or just a shitty one? I'm a huge believer that students from top universities should have scholarships and never have to do shit jobs. You should have all the time to rest and research!
I have been programming these days
What are you programming? I'd be careful though, there are too many programmers out there! Unless it's something highly linked to your chemistry degree. I'd focus on real lab-like innovation whenever possible: The only reason for universities to exist should be the laboratories.

I am having interviews too, but just for small jobs (4hr/day type). I just returned from an interview today at a supermarket xD. I was so lucky today, I almost got into a road accident. You can't imagine how lucky I was, I decided to change buses for now reason mid-way and I saved myself from a crash that happened 30minutes ago. I don't even know why I did that, I just felt like it. I never change buses, but I did this time. That bus crashed 10 minutes after I left and people were injured, mainly from the glass that shattered. If I was superstitious I would have called this a miracle hahhahahahaha. I show so many people/kids with blood on their face/legs. A lot of people got injured
So I just saved myself from getting injured, that's nice.
Goals in my life: To make cool stuff. I have been programming these days, I find joy in that. This is my sense of the world for now. I will most likely change it in a few weeks, depending on what my close goals are
I should study a topic these days, but the weather here is so nice... It distracts me from studying hahahahahaah
Topics are simple, just look at: ourbigbook.com/go/topic/derivative and if its not self explanatory I failed.
I hope you are doing well
Still a failure but still alive. Now ramping down OurBigBook and having to find a job and it's not easy to get many interviews without a referral from old colleagues, my CV is too weird.
Have you decided what cool thing you want to do in life besides the beach?
Amazing work!

BTW cool feature I added a few months back which might interest {scope} fans like yourself, with synonymNoScope you can now both use {scope} and keep a non-scoped ID to the header: docs.ourbigbook.com/h-synonymnoscope-argument e.g.:
= My dog blog

I know a lot about the <history of dog food>.

== Dog food
{scope}

=== History

= History of dog food
{synonymNoScope}
This would be even sweeter if one day I finally implement "synonyms generate topics": github.com/ourbigbook/ourbigbook/issues/355
