gaelic words may seem bizarrely disconnected between written and spoken forms, but that's only coz the letters were transliterated by matching similar looking characters rather than phonemes

the thing you need to understand abt 90s cyberpunk is that the relationship to it's major fanbase was similar to that of Fight Club. ppl who failed to understand the joke, nor that they were the butt of it.

one must understand that those who believe that AI is "thinking" and "feeling" believe this because they, too, are only able to perform a cheap simulacra of thought and emotion. they are simply not capable of comprehending such things

in the decade leading up to the current state of monopoly lead ai there were constant questions about how to address bias, about legal culpability, and instead of even lying, the resounding response seems to have just been "don't worry about it kitten" and here we are

OH. right! i get it now!

i get why AI is so depressing to me. because covid already shrunk my world to almost nothing, where almost all of my life revolves around socializing and watching videos on the internet (which is being ruined by AI) and creating creative works through coding (which is being ruined by AI), often using open source tools and libraries (which are being ruined by AI)

i already had so little and now even that is being rotted away before my eyes

one thing about ocd rumination stuff is you believe it's a kind of self analysis that's self improving, but it's one that doesn't account for the intense cognitive load and impact of that constant self monitoring.

a piece of advice that i shall profer is that if you treated someone in a shitty way & know & feel bad about it, you should apologise, like, explicitly say that to them. will probably make both of you feel better & if you understand you were wrong and shitty WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU NOT APOLOGISE

getting interested in abstract topology stuff (not to say i understand any of it beyond vibes) and then trying to start on som gamedev stuff and being like, "aww, only 2 or 3 dimensions to play with :(" then learning more of the former and going "aha, it's actually all 2 or 3 dimensions!"

wire mother @echoes.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

the vibe i get from physics is that the universe is so sparse that it basically behaves like it's two dimensional at the macroscopic level. which is funny coz the subatomic stuff is all higher dimensional stuff. like we have a 2D universe filling with nD stuff (where n>3).

hey guys what do u think of this :)

```cs
public Nat( uint value ) => this.value = value;
public static explicit operator int( Nat value ) => (int)value.value;
public static explicit operator Index( Nat value ) => (int)value.value - 1;
```

controversial opinion, but i think '1' based indexing is better for several reasons: - zero is semantically equivalent to null - often evaluates to 'false' in boolean checks - allows reserving zero for length/rank, which is common in string buffers (with 0 used to indicate a null terminating string)
