@wilfredh interesting fact. My crowning moment back when I did Challenges was realising an advanced problem had an analytic solution that I just happened to be aware of, though this wasn't necessary to get the points. Now I'm a bit suspicious of what Challenges are.

by the way, when I mentioned Erik Sandewall, he wrote this unknown book, as kinda the last thing in his career:
https://www.ida.liu.se/ext/aica/
Also interesting:
https://www.ida.liu.se/ext/aica/index2.html
in which he sought to unify the knowledge representation and cognitive artificial intelligence systems. To my knowledge, I am the only person with a patched version of his software system related to this book, called the Leonardo system (my lack of Swedish language notwithstanding)

@dougmerritt
Onto the reading list
@mdhughes
#gargoyle is new to my lexicon
Now, to actually read Snowcrash, even as I'm eagre to figure out what happened next in Murderbots, The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress, That Portuguese author, this grammar thing I'm utterly failing to write, ...

Iirc when I interviewed @sacha about her experience doing this, she said basically people look at you funny when you're like this whereas an idea is that if you had a screenreader you could use that subtly instead of the displays and pass as a non-cyborg in groups of humans. It's definitely cool.

@me oh, yeah, I saw it thanks, I wondered if either of them talked to @sacha about this previously as well. Is there a transcript?

@Snoro in NZ, companies got recycling bucks for making recycled-plastic-stuffed-pillows and things, but it's also widely understood that the microplastics are poisonous now, so they need to get rid of recycled-plastic-stuffed-pillows before it becomes illegal to sell them due to microplastics.

Anyone looking to get a few new ears on their music? I always need more independent musicians to write about!

Here's a summary of how it works:

Please DM me submissions! They get lost in my mentions otherwise.

And if you submitted something to me more than 2 weeks ago AND it's your first submission (i.e. I haven't covered your work previously), please reach out! I think I misplaced a few submissions... 😅

@clizia pixelfed.sdf.org?

You know, if hiveworks comes crashing down, like it seems it inevitably will, at least people will stop saying they have to get into it to "make it" in webcomics

A very unhappy people, yes, everywhere they tried to perch belonged to Castle Sugar, Incorporated, or the Catholic Church.

Though I am also under the impression that a lot of widely distributed [sic] beliefs about the rennaisance period are sort of corporate-plutocrat tellings of that period as the dark times before their modern ascention.
@josephholsten @dougmerritt @smashedratonpress

@shinmera Yeah I was surprised that the creator of the computer screen displays shown in the original ALIENS pointed out that the ability to create real-seeming but inauthentic URGENT MESSAGES and INFORMATIONAL DISPLAYS as conveyed in their work were going to be a crisis for humanity that needed legal constraints.

But the only people who acted on the article were the bad people I guess ;p

Good job I recorded today's FLUX last Sunday as I just got home from work. Grumble, grumble.

Get some interesting and great music in your life without a computer making the decisions. Tune in to FLUX today at 2000 UTC on aNONradio and hear what has tickled my fancy enough to want to share it with you.

Head to Https://aNONradio.net for ways to listen.

@yojimbo well I mean if we're writing our own keyboard modules (jns has an article on this for freebsd, by the way). I was just wondering what the options are for handcrufting a keyboard to recapture the majesty of the space cadet.

@yojimbo
Well on the lisp on the keyboard wisdom front, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Space-cadet.jpg

I guess if you don't let the OS deal with modifier characters, game devs get confused when they can't use shifts for their e-pinball machine paddles

@yojimbo I get where you're coming from, but speaking from the lisp community that baggage is filled with otherwise unattainable largesse.

@molytov
surely you would use printf(1) not write(2)
@aral @brothersoul

@dougmerritt if only we had heeded the article's warning, that it showed it was possible to create urgent-looking live messages attached to images of synthetic data that people can't distinguish from real data without close examination.

@dougmerritt
After being reminded, I do remember that.
