 "uh, the question was why do you want something like that, not how you would
 implement it."
 
 oh. Um, well, isn't a spinnable mouse-cursor justification enough?
 
 "no, you need to explain what use-case this has. What kinds of problems could
 you solve with this technology that you couldn't before?"
 
 well, setting aside the potential for new input methods to games and the
 inherent satisfaction gained from spinning a mouse like a top when bored, I
 think it might give us a better option for horizontal scrolling. Like,
 'horizontally scroll when a special mouse button is held down and the mouse is
 twisted a bit to the left/right'
 
 "so, like when you push the middle mouse and it lets you pan across large
 documents?"
 
 yes! Only instead of being able to go up AND down, it would just go left and
 right.
 
 "... huh?"
 
 oh I mean instead of up/down and left/right, it would just do left/right
 
 "... right"
 
 and left!
 
 "... yeah. and left. Uh, okay I'll see what I can do but budget's pretty
 tight, we might just lay you off."

 "we'll figure out how it works after we push to prod"
 
 yeah okay point taken.
 
 How about this:
 
 for every large decision, write a little essay about why you made the choice
 that you did.
 
 Observe, Orient, Decide, Act, Explain. OODAX : )
 
 Make sure you connect your goal to one or more of these three colors:
 
 red : people
 green : places
 blue : things
 
 and then explain which numbers you're going to gather to determine whether or
 not it worked.
 
 If someone has a problem with your choice, show them the essay, and let them
 write an essay of their own.
 
 If they still have a problem, then let someone you both respect decide which
 one to use.
 
 It's not perfect, but it's not meant to be. Make something better and easier,
 I dare ya.

 Oh, you want solutions?
 
 Yeah, I can do that.
 
 I am a very solutions oriented mindset.
 
 But developing solutions requires a firm understanding of what resources are
 at your disposal.
 
 Which is information that I lack.
 
 Hence, my practice, filling the gaps between the important bits.
 
 I have an endless array of stories, and all of them are true! Come, listen as
 I regale of an ordy, or "ordeal" as the kids are taken to call.
 
 ... I guess I could guess, but then people would hear it and assume that it
 would work even if I don't know that the required resources are in place.
 Maybe I could just start by saying "here are the requirements:" like stating
 your variables at the stop of a script.
 
 huh? typo told me to stop. Okay guess I'm going to sleep, bye for now

 the reason you start with a game engine is because then you'll have tools to

 you can debug and improve them without breaking your creative flow by learning
 something new halfway through a project
 
 the whole point of individualized projects instead of viewing each computer as
 a complete and total whole (why do we need servers again?) is that you can

 "updating software" is when you go back and add helper functions for things
 you used had to do to solve a problem but didn't get a chance to make. Because
 you were making more important things and couldn't pad out all the
 possibilities. But if you want great software, then you both take more time to
 accomplish that and you give yourself time for it after it's been launched.
 Basically, companies are incentivized to only support their products if it
 makes them money. Meaning reputations are tarnished, and profit is affected.
 Capitalists intentionally drive businesses into the ground, forcing them to
 make terrible decisions in order to destroy them. It's a warfare against those
 on the [bottom/floor/ground-floor].
 
 Some businesses strive for long-term potential, and some will create
 infrastructure that can be sold to another. Essentially, keeping the dream of
 learning alive, through applying yourself to both long-term and short-term
 conclusions. Not everything has to be for some grand design, we're here to
 relish in this moment. For if we lack the capacity to "frolic in the garden of
 eden", then we will surely drown. Space is vast, it's difficult to understand
 how we might control it. Surely we could be given aid to our future
 betterment!" how simple of a request, sure, of course, we would be glad to
 bring forth your bravest aspirations, just tell us what you need to be of

 oh turns out it wasn't memory corruption as I had thought, I just got
 distracted and rewrote it in a different ui interface. you can read it in it's
 succinctity here:
 ============================
 
 I think the bottom line is, you need a better reason for [unintelligbile] than
 profits. that's greed.
 
 (was it dangerous? show me.)
 
 if the answer is "I don't make the rules" then you need to talk to someone who
 does. or, better yet, someone [else/who does] needs to listen to what you say.
 
 [by profits, she means healthcare - you can tell because it says "bile" and
 that's something that healthy people aren't all that accompanied with]
 
 ^^^ see this is usually how it comes out. it's hard to translate it into more
 relevant things but when I write narratives or long-form explanation
 discussions (being taught in schools) transmissions I tend to [--- stack
 overflow---]
 
 ^^^ see this is why I try to talk about more germane things. like costco and
 rent-a-bucket. usually it ends up being "hey who would have thought, storing
 all your stuff in a warehouse and selling your own factories's stuff in one
 warehouse unlocks unlimited life-sale potential. "no price-tag? sorry, it's
 not for sale. here I'll help you put it back." btw costco should sort their
 lines like the airport before security instead of a series of distributed
 queues. This way people wait in line while going through the last few aisles,
 like the [thing that I'm describing -> so anyways as I was saying] oh yeah
 uh there's a lot of empty space at the front of the lines in costco you know
 how in grocery stores people have that empty space to walk through right after
 that and before the cashier there's a series of stands that contain the same
 merchandise. that way, if you pass through there, which any customer will,
 you'll pass by the stuff that's small, numerous, and otherwise easily stored
 in more standardized locations.
 
 [I can be utilized to vast potential in any industry, let me at 'em] 🙂
 
 oh um, sorry where was I? I think we were talking about god or some such.
 =========================
 
 and then I came back, remembered the syncing of timing, and realized this: you
 could have stalls all the way along where the lines were. if you had half as
 many cashiers, the lines could be half as long. this way you can shop while
 you wait. this might enable shoppers to plan for things they know they have,
 if they spend more time in the consideration. A healthier pantry closet, a
 healthier home.
 
 the cold aisles should always be optional.

 @user-570 
 
 ooooo separating additive and multiplicative, I love that. I do like
 specificity unless "increased" and "more" always corresponds to +10% and +50%,
 or if the "rate of increase" is a stat stored on the character then
 "increased" could increase quality by however-many percentage,, while "more"
 could be "more soldiers" x(charisma_stat)
 
 I tend to think of percentages like "0-100 (or more) stacks" of a particular
 effect, so I think that's just how my brain works... xD clumping them up into
 discrete groups - like, anti-abstracting, or measuring things that are just a
 few.
 
 "is this belt better than this one?"
 
 "is this pair of tongs 
 
 even for larger buffs like +10% or +50% or whatever, those are just... 10
 stacks, or if percentages are usually round numbers like +10% and +50% then
 like... +1 stack which calculates to +10%
 
 the hard limit vs math limit thing you said is amazing ^_^

 Oh, I guess I should clarify something I said like, a year ago - when I said I
 "talked to / worked with" so-and-so, I meant that I created in tandem with a
 friend a proposition of sorts, and we tried to psychically beam it into their
 minds. That's not exactly how it went down, but it gives you a good enough
 picture of the goals we had with our ritual. I have no idea if they heard, but
 I did happen to see several of them later on, which felt a little too
 serendipitous to just be chance. so I'm thinking they did. I hope they got the
 message and used it as they please, because it was mutually beneficial even if
 neither of us had any actual impact on it. If you didn't hear the whole story,
 then it's hardly a lie to possess incomplete information! So long as you don't
 lie about me, and what I said or did, then it'll surely be fine. There's no
 need to embellish when it's plainly apparent.

 building up our capabilities as the human race.
 
 you don't have to work to live. you shouldn't, and you won't. it's not your
 place to labor. know why? because nobody's job is impossible. You can just...
 work together to get things done. Then they're done! and you never need to
 solve them again!
 
 enough time of that and we'll have turned earth into a space station, not a

 hyperspace is real. Ah, well, that's for the future, they can pass it along if
 they get a chance. Anyway for now I think I want a chance to dance.

 essentially, applying backpropagation (maybe) to the output of the inference
 nodes
 
 ... I'm not so sure about that one.
 
 the idea is that once the model builds an inference then it can use that to
 generate the next words and create sentences. If you force the previous text to
 change, you can guide the inference's path as it's being generated.
 
 then, just do a double pass, once, then back, then once, then back, etc.
 
 feed it as input the output of the previous,
 
 and let it encode memories somewhere it can access them.
 
 every time it reads it, it has to change it to put it back.
 
 such is the nature of memory, ever unstable, requiring maintenance.
