Urbit: Javascript, Slavery and God.
someone ought to write an bit torrent client that does the http gateway/api and BEP46 things so ipfs can be taken down a peg

Protocol is a virtual writing surface and a mirror. Memory takes a copy and then Forgets.
>sapphire whorf is dead, god is a lie, all computers are virtual, language hopping is an illusion of choice
i'm going to be honest with you here: i despise protocol labs. IPFS/FileCoin is a scam. fuck that shit.
it also remains to be seen how a greenarray-based uxn runtime would work in the first place, but my back-of-envelop calculation is that a uxn instance would use 8-12 F18A machines (18bit 64 word ram per machine) + one 256k FRAM module. additional machines would be used to handle IO to peripherals, but these can be shared between instances so it'll be a fixed overhead.
i keep debating this in my head. i reckon the comrade's display device should be modular anyway, the display buffer is just that. doesn't matter if there's a TFT or an e(ink|paper) display on the other side. multiplexing uxn displays would be cool, but that would mean adding a display buffer cache for every instance and i don't know if i want to have that much memory dedicated to swapping displays. i'm on board with using uxn as a common runtime, but FRAM modules have six pins and top out at 256k (afaik). i only have 88 pins to work with so i'll have to place some hard limits on how many display devices the runtime allows.
now that the doom is apparent, i've noticed that's all people can talk about. its a good thing in some respects, i was never able to light a fire under anyone to mobilize a preemptive strategy. the question now is whether i can channel this energy into something productive in time to be effective. a lot rests on my shoulders, but i'll take it if that's what it takes to protecc my family.
>On this subject, lately I've become obsessed with personal libraries and archives, both physical and digital. I don't have a grand thesis yet, but there's something to the role an individual's practice of collecting and curating can lead to a distributed system of stored knowledge, particularly in arenas traditional institutions miss, but even just as a caretaking mentality, library as practice https://post.lurk.org/@mncmncmnc/106615911261119063
these billionaires are fucking stupid. they think they can own space, but once they get workers up there its just a matter of time before stations start going rogue and breaking out of corporate / earth control.

> "People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you. You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity. Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head. You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs." - Banksy

everyone wants to change the world. at least until the obstacles they care about are overcome, then people start being OK with the status quo. sometimes becoming obstacles themselves. to me it seems like "personal and cultural autonomy" is a better term than "change".

focus on the smallest scale. the place where you can make a dream manifest. any dream at all, and live it.
in some ways, tomo el fuego is an effort to break away from electron and javascript as the basis for application development. specifically p2p messaging, but there are a lot of general applications too. its true that i could have set this concern aside to focus on making the p2p things that i've been talking about over the last several years. i might have done something there, but i really don't want to accept the status quo there. i want a much smaller foundation to build on than a web browser and an event library with V8 bolted on. dynamic 9-flavored p2p is coming, but there's quite a bit more foundational work to do first.
white people be like >literal genocide and systemic oppresion of native people >this is fine
this entertainment news stream that i've been working on has served the dual-purpose of giving me more information to work with to point out systemic flaws that nobody will ever admit exist. i think using an entertainment medium to talk about these ideas is good because its never going to be about winning an argument. we are presenting information in a fun way for the sake of education. a lot of western people are (possibly intentionally) ignorant of their genocidal history and practices that often continue to this day. there is a lot of injustice propping up western hegemony that must be answered for. there is a lot of organizing to do to provide adequate resources to the people that western culture continually treads on. to bring back the beauty that the white man keeps trying to burn down, suppress, or kill in the name of economic progress. https://www.twitch.tv/LeftistsFiteLeftists
“All of the western nations have been caught in a lie, the lie of their pretended humanism; this means that their history has no moral justification, and that the west has no moral authority.” —james baldwin, no name in the street
we need a fundamentally different way of being it seems. society is broken and wrong and a lot of people are going to die because of that.
dandelion tea with clover honey is really nice
I like how it's a widely acknowledged fact that we live in a country where you can get extrajudicially imprisoned in black sites or executed by a secret police (the CIA/FBI) and people just accept this and make jokes about it
In this same vein I condemn Israel and their apartheid state and I stand with Palestine. Freedom for the downtrodden
This Memorial Day Weekend remember the lives lost, the genocides waged, and the destruction of land the United States of America and Canada have caused in the name of European expansion, imperialism and colonization. The precious military you pretend to care for is the reason for the deaths and genocides of native people. The destruction of language in the name of racism, and the silent murder of so many native people, and the theft of land that the native people lived on. European settlers are the cause of the destruction of the climate, without the industrial revolution the Americas might have been saved to exist away from the destruction Europeans loved causing in the name of greed and wealth and power. Were the natives perfect? Doesn't fucking matter, it's their land regardless. This weekend, let me remind you that Canada, and the United States of America should be dissolved, and the land returned to the rightful people; namely the native and indigenous people and Mexico. That's right Texas, y'all pussies are on stolen Mexican land so how about you get off THEIR LAND. Everything has come full circle, and there's no stopping the world from continuing to find the literal skeletons in the closets of the United States, Canada, Britain, and France.
in related news, let's legalize personal nuclear reactors eh?
now advocating to use way more energy to preserve species that are threatened by climate change. if we aren't going to head this thing off, might as well lean into deregulation and use nukes to save vital plant and animal species.

> We built a wind powered vehicle designed to go *directly* downwind - faster than the wind. This is the second run of our first outing. We intended these first attempts only as shakeout runs. But we ended up doing better than our ultimate goal of twice windspeed. As a result, we've now set our goal at 3X windspeed. https://vimeo.com/10477373
SPACE PROGRAM SPACE PROGRAM // time to focus on mathematics, APL, and music
> If [you take] a look at how APLers communicate when they have ideas, you see code all the time, all day long. The APL community is the only one I've seen that regularly can write complete code and talk about it fluently on a whiteboard between humans without hand waving. Even my beloved Scheme programming language cannot boast this. When working with humans on a programming task, almost no one uses their programming languages that primary communication method between themselves and other humans outside of the presence of a computer. That signals to me that they are not, in fact, natural, expedient tools for communicating ideas to other humans. The best practices utilized in most programming languages are, instead, attempts to ameliorate the situation to make the code as tractable and as manageable as possible, but they do not, primarily, represent a demonstration of the naturalness of those languages to human communication. — aaron hsu
