@hipsterelectron yes - i don't feel constrained by the Turing model at all, because we have a reasonable understanding of its equivalences (imo). my open question on "programs as transforms" has its origins in information theory, and the idea that programs don't necessarily answer/solve specific problems (which is a traditional premise i'm poking at).
@promovicz i promise i'm not hating on you personally but i absolutely fucking hate the word information theory it just makes me too pissed off to use about my own work anymore. reading this paper about how much simpler kolmogorov's model had been for decades with painstaking work to piece together the pieces bell labs shit out was so important to me https://projecteuclid.org/ebooks/berkeley-symposium-on-mathematical-statistics-and-probability/Proceedings-of-the-Fourth-Berkeley-Symposium-on-Mathematical-Statistics-and/chapter/Mathematical-Problems-in-the-Shannon-Theory-of-Optimal-Coding-of/bsmsp/1200512168.pdf

Probably needs more arrows, tbh
@Floppy As a software engineer, I just now had to look up what this was in reference to, I assume neovim? I do not think a tiny handful of people running completely forgettable projects should be suggested to represent MANY ACTUALLY important projects...
I've never used neovim. I don't know anyone that has ever used neovim. That isn't critical infrastructure. It's one of the tiny blocks on the upper right corner supporting literally nothing.

#WritersCoffeeClub Aug. 28: How do we defend ourselves as artists when the arts are devalued?
Counter-attack. Mock, belittle, satirise, and despise the individuals and movements trying to devalue art. And carry on making great art despite their idiocy.

NEW: We obtained recordings of 160+ emergency calls made from or about an immigration detention center where three people died within six weeks.
“They will not give them medical treatment,” one caller said, seeking help for a detainee with kidney stones.

I couldn’t care less she said she was not political. Her actions spoke louder than any verbal declaration. She would pay for trans individuals to get their surgery and more.

Par contre, ce que je trouve plus important que ce rire plus situationnel que lié au fond, c'est qu'on a trois membres du gouvernement Macron donc trois fois plus de temps de parole donné au pouvoir en place, que les thèmes sont abordés pour faire croire que la réduction de la dépense publique est obligatoire, que les questions posées par le patronat sont nulles, que Glucksmann n'a pas de programme...
@h30x @blackRAT @paul_denton Aaaah je suis enfin d'accord avec toi sur un truc 😄
Auf 150 Feedback-Zetteln nach dem Zeltlager tauchte ein Wort kein einziges Mal auf: Handy.
Und auch nicht der Wunsch nach mehr Kontakt zu den Eltern.
In einer Umfrage mit den Eltern selbst, klang das plötzlich ganz anders, erzählt Bent Freiwald:

Just hypothetically, what would happen if Canada put a 100,000% export tax on toilet paper being shipped to the USA four weeks before the midterms?
@david_chisnall Not even that would convince Americans to clean properly with a bidet.
The US has declared Autistici/Inventati, an Italian anarchist hacker (in the classic sense of the term) collective, a terrorist organization. https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sb0616/
But what you really ought to read is this article about A/I's history, and what this means https://web.archive.org/web/20260828071449/https://cavallette.noblogs.org/2026/08/10083/2
I'm concerned that the US government is starting to identify decentralized media infrastructure as a threat to its survival. Repost information about this broadly, and if you have media contacts, inform them of counter-narratives; there could come a time where the fediverse, or any decentralized network infrastructure, is a target as well if we don't sound the alarms now.
EDIT: I linked to the wrong page! The second link is now fixed :)
EDIT 2: A/I's domains have been revoked! So added an archive.org link

Query: if the Affordability Crisis is hitting you and your household like a freight train, slide into my DMs.
I'm looking for folks who'd be willing to talk with local media in these markets:
IL
VA
PA
NM
NY
Particularly if you are:
A parent
A working mom
An Independent voter
Someone who uses child care or provides elder care
If you need paid family leave
Or someone just trying to make ends meet
Slide into my DMs.
Please.
@NemoJmeno Oui, c'est vraiment facile (mais sache que tu perdras tout tes anciens posts). Par contre, j'ai pas d'instance à te proposer, désolé.
Sinon pour moins doomer, il y a les filtres.
@David Ça pourrait être sympa de recommencer à zéro.
Et c'est pas une question de filtrer des trucs précis, juste d'avoir un peu moins, là des fois c'est un peu fastidieux quand y'a une grosse actu
