fun pet project idea: getting the fortran program code in the appendix of this 1990 paper on modular superconducting mass drivers for lunar spacelift to run on modern hardware ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/19...

just realized this is basically just hinton station from @eudoxia.bsky.social's eog581

why do bluesky logins last so short a time?

well, Suno v5 is good enough to generate Bosnian folk drum n bass, so uh,

It's only a few pages in and I'm already hooked

#SST25 Day 2: Starbound/Guns, Guns, Guns! A fight breaks out around an abandoned starship, one of many which once brought travellers and technological wonders from across known space. Its most valuable parts were salvaged long ago, but there are still many willing to fight over what's left.

jesus says - send that cold email, stupid

2010: The Year We Make Contact (1984) is such a fun movie. I forgot about the dolphin pool house...

Are any of you on methylphenidate + any SSRI? I have questions.

The internet is still so much smaller than it should be.

Very sorry but i actually love this

miss when ai art was usually this confusing

Good morning

tweets where I want to combinatorially rearrange all the prefixes and suffixes. permahacking, molecular logics, situationist beaverology, xenogastronomy, ...

lets try our best this week

For safety reasons it is no longer permissible to look at images or read words

Trying to articulate my theory of how the reacts available in a server can be used for sapir-whorfian analysis of the community's emerging hivemind

Now it's Altman's turn... We skipping ill-defined AGI on our way to ill-defined ASI. Next quarter we'll announce Kardashev Type 7 breakthroughs

Playing around with Celestia for worldbuilding. Ctesiphon (Beta Pictoris) in the year 4096. A necklace of artificial gas giants surrounds the star, storing hydrogen for use in the post-stelliferous era. Starlifting is done from dynamically-supported orbital rings.

forums were the carboniferous period of the internet: we built everything else from and on top of them, and can never do it again

In the process of writing this I found out about this “game” written as a Celestia addon. It's a story you play by going to specific locations and setting the time to the right date and fast-forwarding to watch events unfold. Pretty unique. web.archive.org/web/20200116...

I wrote a very short guide to getting started with Celestia modding on macOS. borretti.me/article/addi...

borretti.me/fiction/eog581 "The Epiphany of Gliese 581". A posthuman expedition explores the body of a dead god. Pretty short and intensely compelling, sorry that I had it in my browser tabs for so long

the annoying part of being both artist and terminally ADHD is the pieces I put the most painstaking detail into are also unfinished as fuck

And now for some actual original content for a change ^^; - I've been continuing to iterate on my starship design and think I may finally have all the bases covered:

I think a lot about how in "Battlestar Galactica" even paper sheets has corners.

Georgism is the Haskell of ideologies

the USGS regularly put out a plethora of free maps - and will, in fact, mail you physical copies of them for a relatively low cost - on their website... including ones of the Moon, Mars, and the Jovian moons! Like this lovely map showing the head of the ancient river valley Shalbatana Vallis.

This is a common misconception. The play doesn't exist, it's actually just a reference in a story by Jorge Luis Borges

Postrat is vice signaling.

I think about that sometimes For all the hardship they endured & all the greatness they achieved, the ancients could scarcely have contemplated the queer horror of opening a reddit thread with ten thousand comments & seeing the whole dialogue tree of possible responses fully exhausted

I prepared by reading proper theory

To get around the existential risk concern, we can also design a "life-hand" system to automatically launch seeds if the biosphere is threatened.
