Just received a very rude DM from a super duper disappointed person that our "sailboat uses AIs for navigation", and how it's stealing jobs and bad for the environment and so on-

I went through our wiki, I just couldn't imagine that we would have ANY page that mentions that we use AI for navigation, I looked through my own wiki, I figured maybe there's a typo, I must have written don't where I meant to write do, something like that.

Then I realized what was going on, when we say AIS, we mean the navigation/radio protocol, it's for seeing the other boats on radar, lmao

I love how vibecoded commits are called vommits. It's so perfect.

I was wondering what was so special about the AND gate that it didn't need that extra resource, I was wondering, is AND actually more computationally efficient in this commutative universe?

And, yes! It is. AND maps cleanly to linear logic's tensor(x), but in linear logic, OR and NOT needs a little extra resource because you cross boundary into the additive universe and this transition has a cost.

In this world of rewriting, you have to carry an evidence of abscence through the computation.

I've spent the morning fawning over the paintings of Emily Shanks and Winslow Homer, the latter, who's collection mostly revolves around "little boats in way too much weather", has also created this one, which I think is my favourite work of his.

Blackboard, Winslow Homer(1877)

"The world is going digital, we're told, and someday there will even be digital real estate inhabited by people in digital clothes drinking digital orange juice extracted with digital juicers. People will play at the lives they once took seriously, lives that had once had heft and weight, and the juice content of juice will fall to zero. I suspect my old physical squeezer will still be working then, but the rest of my kitchen gear won't. Not much of it. I might not last, either. I fear I won't." — Walter Kirn

Their moats were made of friction.
And friction was going to zero.

#Uxntal has changed a little bit this week, macros can now be called using local scope bindings, think obj.macro_name()

It's a bit hard to explain in non-uxn terms, but it's as if an object's member could point to a macro that will be inlined where it's called. It's a little convenience, but it's comfy as hell, and I can't say I've ever came across this in the wild.

I was reading some of these colorful yellow and blue Penguin classics from the 60s, and I realized that I had a hard time putting events in relation to each other in my head(how much time passed between the Muqaddimah and the Prince? for example, is what brought that question)

I made myself a personal historical timeline of sort.

Someone asked me why I don't implement markdown support to the wiki engine instead of painstakingly typing down html tags. I think the reason that I never felt like markdown was worth it, was that the editor I use makes writing html somewhat frictionless, maybe if I lost this, I'd consider adding a parser. Markdown support adds a thick layer of junk to a SSG, maybe the trick is just to improve html support to the editor you use, and keep the site simplier.

We released a transcription of the Permacomputing 101 talk, in which I look back at some of the earlier attempts to explore ways to fight digital obsolescence.
