 capitalism is like if your thread allocator gave 90% of the work to 10% of the
 threads in the pool and your tech lead claimed it was more efficient because the
 remaining 90% of threads would have the results of the program "trickle down" to
 them somehow

 do you ever wonder about how much heat is absorbed the plants and leaves? Kinda
 makes me think that they're keeping us warm at night. The desert is much colder
 than you'd expect, and so it the moon, or mars, or any other sufficiently
 devastated forest habitat.

 (plains are my favorite biome, please don't take them away with your stupid
 climate change, they're one of the most at risk)

 nixed my job offer today because something told me to stay in town.

 called my ex-boyfriend an asshole today, so he's probably not going to keep
 paying my rent.

 sold the shares of stock that my grandfather gifted me as inheritance, so I'm no
 longer a capitalist I guess.

 at least my elbow doesn't hurt anymore. I didn't get outside today but I cleared
 a lot of blockers for the coming tomorrows.

 Checkers, but played with chess pieces, and every time you make it back to your

 right as you'd like. And pawns can move two spaces left or right on any turn.

 there are very few professions that are naturally more suited to a schizophrenic
 than a normal person.

 One of them is beggar, another is prophet, and a third is "massive
 disappointment" but that comes with the territory.

 have you considered that maybe you're just a loser

 yes I have and I decided that all I can do is my best, and if my best loses then
 what else could I have done? Wait for help? Yeah. I do that too.

 It feels like an encirclement, and all you can do is hunker down and wait to be
 relieved. Or fight to the last, it's up to you. I hear they brutalize the skulls
 of their prisoners after executing them, so, I don't know about you but I'm not
 surrendering. Not gonna roll those dice.

 you are in fantasy, again

 sorry. Should stay here, present, in the moment. Like when I sat out on the park
 bench for like 30 minutes straight without moving a muscle last night. Or when I
 sat and contemplated the nature of a bog for two hours last september. Or when I
 woke from a dream that turned out to be life.

 He skuffed up my water bottle.
 He tore pages from my journal.
 He made me lose my necklace.
 He damaged my knife.

 And still, I followed him all night.

 Why? Because I knew it was important. I needed him to tell me what he was doing
 and why. And I think I know, now.

 To all the federal agents reading this, please understand that I am a patriot,
 and he is not. Who do you serve?

 To all the leftists, punks, anarchists, queers, and anyone else who's cooler

 good morning!

 if you need to design an agentic programming ritual toward a goal that needs
 numbers, try expressing the number in analogy rather than empirical value.

 "it should be red enough to feel a sunset"
 "there's enough time here to go for a walk around the block"
 "the spartans had enough soldiers to fully block the narrow causeway,
 essentially forcing the persians to grind down their number to the death. most
 battles fought in that time were fought until morale breaks - this one was to
 the mortal end. hence, why they are im-mortal."
 "the smoothocity should be as soft as a brushed metal refrigerator"
 "the chocolate had 56 grams of sugar in it. it was a lot of chocolate, enough to
 place in a standardized container."

 when I get concerned about the political divide in my country, I think about
 this map from the New York Times of the number of political donations across the
 country before the 2016 democratic primaries.

 I think we're gonna be fine. I'm not scared of Trump because rural areas, where
 republicans tend to be, have the same problems that everyone else does. Bernie
 Sanders was well known as someone who could talk to an average republican voter
 and sway them to his side. I remember watching videos of his interviews (in
 front of a live audience) on Fox News or CNN or whatever and at first, they'd be
 hostile to him. At the end, they'd give him a standing ovation.

 I think we have more in common with other working class people than they do with
 their republican leaders. I also think we have more in common than them than we
 do with our democratic leaders, but I think that just shows how I feel about
 authority.

 I can't cancel my internet because I use it to work, which almost pays enough to
 cover rent, and nothing else.

 It's hard to avoid spiraling when you run out of money. Every time this happens
 to me I start feeling things

 like... am I good for society? Society doesn't want me, clearly, because I don't
 have any money. And currency is how you measure demand, right? It's literally a
 measure of value.

 But then I think of all the homeless and poor people and, like... I value them,
 so what if they don't have dollars? It's literally just paper. Or bits in a
 mainframe that nobody knows how to program anymore.

 So if they're valuable at least to me, yet me, with my 67$ in the bank and 127$
 internet fee, is not valuable to me... Then what's the discrepancy?

 I'm not trying to be hard on myself, it's not my fault that I bleed money, but I
 still feel terrible.

 It's like a common cultural persuasion, if you run outta cash you better kill
 yourself fast.

 Fuck that. Oops cursing mentioned, one s

 ugh so many video essays to watch. There's only so much time in the day! Life is
 so fast these days, it feels like I must always be "on" - it's a wonder how
 people find so much time to share with this idea we've called "capitalism"

 I swear, Lua has the worst manual out there.

 I was looking for a definition of this function called io.flush(). Here's what I
 found: [picture 1]:**io.flush ()**

 Equivalent to io.output():flush().


 okay, so what's io.output():flush()? [one result found] and it's the thing I
 just found. great.

 okay, so how about io.output()? [third picture]:**io.output ([file])**

 Similar to io.input, but operates over the default output file.


 and**io.write (···)**

 Equivalent to io.output():write(···).


 I know the text is blue, but it's not clickable. It's just text, not a hyperlink
 to more comprehensive documentation.

 There's also file:flush(), but that doesn't seem relevant to what I'm looking
 for, because I'm working with lines and not files:**file:flush ()**

 Saves any written data to file.


 there are no more references to flushing, nor outputting of input nor output.
 this manual sucks.

 ah, well, back to vibe coding I go.

 EDIT: at least it's all on one page.

 Problem: there are trans people and leftists and people of color and plenty of
 others who live in red areas who fear for their lives

 how do we help them? They need to be given the tools to escape those conditions

 However, many of them are poor. They lack the resources to escape, even if they
 had the tools. These are who I think of the most, for they have the least to
 leave behind.

 A solution: what if we got a bunch of people together and drove around to every
 red place we could find and invited them along? We could pay for their food and
 gas, and potentially save their lives.

 I think it would help if we could stick together. Not only would we have time to
 spend together learning and having fun, but also we could practice supplying a
 large group of people traveling across large distances.

 In terms of people, we'd need some to drive, and some to stay home and supply
 resources like dollars or... other things.

 I'm thinking 2-3 staying at home but potentially as many as 10 per driver.

 All people are good at heart, let's get them what they need for a start.

 Some people won't change. Some people are doomed to the life they were given.
 It's not their fault, but it is their responsibility, and if they want to be
 free, they will respect the rights of others.

 These rights we claim for each other are rights that must be taken away from
 those who would use them to harm others.

 To defeat evil, deprive power, supply kindness, in that order.

 An image means nothing, for it is just an icon.

 like a picture of a floppy disk corresponding to writing memory from RAM into a
 hard disk platter, even tho those have three different tasks, so too does my
 icon gesture at something.

 On the other hand, art is necessarily divorced from it's meaning the moment it
 leaves the pen and is written to paper. So there cannot be a meaning in my flag,
 not one that I define of course.

 The observers of the artwork, of whom I am but one of, can possess their own
 ideas of what it means, of course. Here's mine, feel free to take your own:

 Sea, land, sky. The crimson of a fading light, and the bright beginnings of a
 new day. Man(kind), with our vivid red internals, stands astride the border of
 the ocean and the surface. We walk where we will, perhaps into the black depths
 of the cosmos beyond, but forever do we anchor ourselves and owe allegiance to
 our earth and our star. Sunlight casts crimson light upon our externals, as our
 hearts do beat through time.

 Yes! The ease of use for GPU programming is lovely. Like I said all I need is a
 use-case, I've downloaded as much reference material as I think I'd need to be
 able to hack together something fairly quickly if I needed it. That's all I have
 the mind-space to focus on lately haha

 humans are computers that inhale air, produce electricity, and exhale carbon.

 give me a biochemical or mechanical process for doing that on a reasonable scale
 for cheap and you can solve global warming by replacing power outlets with an
 energy generation box. Doubles as an air purifier and UPS.

 I'm such a direct person I think, even though I often just sorta... shrug and
 ignore things that bother or hurt me? Like, whatevs.

 but the moment I notice a pattern that is continually harmful I have to restrain
 myself from moving to contest it. Hence why I talk about capitalism so much
 teehee, but its also common in my interpersonal and communal lives.

 "the purpose of the system is it's effects"

 the purpose of a person is how they make people feel

 so if someone FOR A RANDOM EXAMPLE FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER, constantly hurts
 other people by creating situations where they are harmed which creates a
 dramatic fight... or if someone speaks in circles for hours and hours and HOURS
 like this guy:

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwKpj2ISQAc

 or people who jump into a conversation and drive it through the underbrush, over
 the ridge, around the bend, up and over the bridge, and then park it outside
 their ex girlfriend's house and hands you an egg and says "don't you wanna throw
 this?" and you're like "weren't we talking about birds"

 a program that bundles another program and compiles it during it's normal
 operation in order to derive a certain purpose which is quickly overwritten in
 memory, so you can't get the full picture of what it does.

 like, a fast moving function that's never really clear in it's purpose.

 because it changes a lot of things that don't really seem to matter,

 like a constant wrestling match over the nature of the computer program.

 which would you rather? a dance, or a death-splatter?

 yeesh, where's my cat, I need something to cuddle.

 she's been distant from me, lately.

 I'd say "content warning: fear-cursed-if-true-not-politics" that way people who
 had "Fear" or "cursed" on their filter list wouldn't see it. Things that are
 commonly content-warning'd are also commonly content-filtered by people who tend
 to be the biggest beneficiaries of healthily designed content-warnings. so
 putting keywords in there that filter out people who don't want to see intense
 or damaging things to their psyche can avoid it more easily.

 will continue until you tell me to stop:

 industry works best at scale, and in order to produce materials that are needed
 for very specific use-cases (that can't really be done better by something else)
 you often need to make large batches of said material. In this case, plastics.

 if the production capabilities exceed demand, then there is a surplus of a
 certain kind of material. And that's not good, according to capitalists, because
 who's ever heard of national stockpiles? Plus, maybe that stuff goes bad, I
 don't know, I'm not an expert, but without that context it seems to me that
 instead of turning it into junk that we're just going to throw away, we should
 probably keep hold of it. Literally just put it in a warehouse in Utah or
 whatever.

 I feel like then, in a world where those cheap plastics aren't being used for
 consumer products, we'd be encouraged to buy the plastics that were recyclable
 (not all plastics are), or extremely durable, or even just metal/wood products
 instead. econ, /shrug

 whoever at OpenAI that came up with those tiers doesn't understand the science
 behind it.

 consciousness does not come about from exceptional capability - after all, a
 child is conscious, and they're useless in a fight.

 consciousness comes from tiny bits of awareness given a story and life. that's
 it, it's not too complicated, but they're building something else.

 like, a complicated analytical engine of some kind.

 I feel like the people their press release was for is the kind of people who'd
 give them money, not the kind of people who'd help them build it y'know? like
 "what the investors don't know won't hurt them, besides we're making progress"

 a screenshot of the Goron's Ruby from Ocarina of Time.

 A smooth, flat stone comprised of two materials. The hardened outer shell is
 thick with spiritual energy, and it radiates light the way a rippled piece of
 silk folded over a malleable piece of gold.

 the inner jewel is crystallized like the purest ice, but a bright shade of
 crimson white. it seems to radiate an aura of affection and the yellow-gold
 back-piece can be seen peaking through it's mostly transparent core. (think like
 fog or thick mist or steam or smoke).

 eating nachos - not yet, gonna make them now >: ) and reading stuff on
 Mastodon. Not too much, I don't have to many people I follow, so it's not an
 un-ending torrent of content. Just like, 10 minutes here and there.

 I'm definitely down to watch BGC later : )
