Languages that I like:
name | role | appeal | strongest impression |
---|---|---|---|
Fish | shell | simple syntax i can remember | the core team is too busy to release a new version for a critical bug. the bug is now fixed. |
io | liveliness | simply elegant | |
Zig | all-access | negligible drag in math realm | the dictactor's towards-me use of violence |
Janet | scripting | simple lispy thing | good. it's good. |
Python | scripting | has many libraries |
Terminal: KiTTY
GUI libraries that do it right: imgui uhtml htmx
If you like playing around with language models, try out RWKV.
Games I like (and may still play):
- SS14 (source): Comedic Rhapsody in Space. Realtime multi-player. A lot of features got added recently (2023-08-14).
- Intricacy (with source): Picking locks that hurt your brain. Async multi-player, with user-created locks.
- Dona Misa: The game is random. Sometimes you can win.
Music I like:
Present events worth worrying about
Do you really want to worry about things? If not, don't click on this.
We are entropic flowers each trying to bloom in a different way. While our ability to do whatever we want and not know about consequences is surprisingly precarious to our continued survival, our wish to be who we want to be is true.
Russia wants to be safe from NATO and North Korea too but South Korea fears North Korea so looks for protection. It's a mess. We fear each other's history, since information cannot travel instantaneously.
This is about information. Culture baggage, historical baggage. Unlike in the movie TENET, we are continuously being attacked by our past. That's I can freely speak about the true nature of this war.
This is about fear. We need to work together to face upcoming climate change.
This is about survival. Can we survive together without being divided? The original Australians have already figured that out. I hope we figure this out too.
The three factors are complected.
Entropic flowers bloom when low entropy meets high entropy. We do not have to act like the universe. The ancient Australians proves that we can act nice to each other and coexist. It will take some time to heal our wounds. Maybe we are both evil.
Hierarchies repeatly and repeatly amplifies personal fear -- some person's fear. This is a signaling problem -- hierarchies natively have insufficient signaling.
I have designed a structure to boost signaling in any organization from O(N) to potentially O(N²). Please take a look. I have hope that sufficient signaling will solve some of the social problems we face together, together.
I highly recommend Nonviolent Communication. You should read that book before reading anything else on this website.
A key to survival under the coming war: respect each other's boundaries. NATO is a bad example of this. Sometimes, being too kind is a sin.
Cold war, again. This time on a smaller scale. I wish for a day where there is no more war.
The Internet has synced our consciousness together too much to create this war. As 國安9課 put it, a way to remaining individuality after everything is synced up to the net: everyday human curiosity.
- The combat debacle in Sudan.
- The Israel War On Gaza. History of the area. I don't understand this anymore.
- The Russia-Ukraine War. Since the end of USSR, we are now mostly likely to see mushroom clouds.
- Politicians fearmonger for power.
- Our ancestors built democracy in the image of autocracy, and we are now seeing the design influence.
- Rent triumps over profit: a bad time to be free
Media sources
Sadly, the only way to know what is going on in other contries is to connect with people there directly, including on social media. Most media outlets have opinions, which render them useless as sources of information. We don't know how to circumvent this. We want to know. We know now.
@whitingx@mastodon.cloud recommended another way of acquiring global news: Wikipedia Portal:Current_events. It has Atom feed too!
