iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

So, Artemis II really reawakened my love for hard science and ever since I've been trying to catch up on 30+ years of scientific venture. I may be at this awhile but I'm already a little fried so I think I have to pace myself. Don Lincoln, you beautiful bastard, thanks for the audio lectures.

If you haven't already and can stomach reading a paper you should read the newest one on the Quantum Equivalence Principle that just came out with Roger Penrose as one of the authors.

I don't think that the public appreciates the fact that we're currently doing some of the most exciting scientific work that humans have ever done. I'm so fucking excited.

For anyone who needs to know: If you have an audible sub (don't support Amazon but if you have one) there are ton of The Great Courses lecture series available for free and you should take advantage of the free shit if you're already in the ecosystem.

Turns out going and partying for 6 days fixes some of my depression bullshit, slowly picking up the pieces of my life and feeling pretty good lately so you might hear more from me soon 👀 we'll see how long that lasts but I feel like something clicked for me and I feel really hopeful about it.

I finally found an author I like as much as William Arand and I swear Daniel Schinhofen *is* just him again. I'm going insane, I think. Also, Andrea Parsneau, you are a fucking gift to the world.

Shaving your head is an act of unburdening. I understand now, god that's freeing.

Those issues I'm talking about I originally gave up on, got it "working" and moved on. I was super frustrated and intellectually fatigued which is probably why i couldn't figure out how to do encapsulation even though I obviously know how to do that. Setting it aside ultimately helps every time.

David Brown @callmebrownie.bsky.social · 08/09/2024

Yeah so I figured it out working on a different part of the basics tutorials and it was so easily avoidable and simple that it caused some imposter syndrome. Listen to people when they tell you sometimes you need to set it aside for a bit to solve it.

Been running through a bunch of basics with SDL2 because I've been itching to code, and spent a couple hours chasing down issues in class and header files. I forgot about the desperate relief that comes with fixing an issue in C++ that you definitely caused all by yourself.

I want to talk about the two lizards I caught at work but I think I should avoid spamming, so I'll just say I caught two Mediterranean House geckos at work where they are RAMPANT and ADORABLE.

Hackers (1995) is so fucking lame that it genuinely circles back to one of coolest things put to film. God, it's so fun.

I will forever be extremely pissed that the "physical activity will improve your mental health" people are right. It does, and I hate that so fucking much.

So turns out hooking up a character LCD to a 65C02 (wdc65c02sxb) is more complicated than initially thought. This chip from the 70s is too damn fast and I have to put in a disgusting amount of NOP's for it to work. That's what I get for running at 8MHz I guess. Praise be to Ben Eater.

The executives at Warner Bros. are an embarrassment to the entire industry and a serious threat to the existence of film and television as an art form That's not hyperbole. Treating film as a disposable product has led to countless films and TV shows being lost forever. 📽️

I will forever be unable to recover from that one part in White Woman's Instagram where it ceases to be a silly song about a cliché and becomes a warning to stop dehumanizing individuals and relegating them to a category of genre.

I'm laying here, high on a muscle relaxer trying to articulate the 20 minute long-form fake conversation I had in my head last night to try and prove to an imaginary adversary that 0 is a number. I hope you're happy you invited me here.
