In a deterministic ..

@neauoire any example of such an automaton?

@neauoire These are what I've been looking for. I swear I heard them called God Patterns tho. Or maybe I'm misremembering a quote about them.

@neauoire it looks like the table with registers is wrong. it says that 6=2+3 and that 18=2+9

@neauoire finally! I was missing that part on the Fractran page—it’s been for so long that the page was underrepresented by its actual programmers!

@neauoire YubiKey 3.0 😮

@neauoire oh no, I had high expectations for that one :(

@neauoire the latest movie, alien: romulus, is fantastic! great to see at a small cinema if it's playing near you :]

@neauoire oh god does starlink mean that more people will suddenly be willing to invade the off-grid parts of the coast?

@neauoire I think some of my favorite places on earth have been the ones with no signal and life abundant

@neauoire Last time we talked about this I might have mentioned ComAnt directional antennas, did you consider that? I combined one with Teltonika 4G router on a carbon fiber mast before my far away place received fiber. Looking now it's so expensive though... also hard to direct the antenna at the top of the mast... hm

@neauoire is the source in the unxtal repo?

@neauoire Is that the Chicago font?

@neauoire Song titles speak to me.

Here's an example run:

:: 5/6 blue.2 red.3 > purple.5
:: 11/21 yellow.7 red.3 > orange.11

AC 126 blue red red yellow
00 126 × 5/6 = 105/1, red purple yellow
01 105 × 11/21 = 55/1, purple orange

@neauoire It's a really subtle case of multi-set rewriting. Because rewrite rules can be formulated over any kind of structure, it's easy to swap other structures in.

FRACTRAN, Petri Nets, some fragments of linear logic, and Nova all share the backing structure of "an unordered bag of things, which can have duplicate items".

It's really neat once you start examining the consequences, because if the things in the bag have some structure, you can pattern-match them.

Then anything is possible.

@neauoire

What a luck Pino is not the size of an aircraft carrier 😄

@neauoire civilian clothes 💀

@neauoire @wryl how many trees make a woods? 木木?

@neauoire I wonder if there are any open alternatives to the old Opera Turbo.

@neauoire hey apple users, here's a simple recipe for the built-in Automator app that will cut your screenshots in half automatically.

@neauoire Even just the basic run through `trimmage` would help avoid as much bloat

@neauoire that sounds like so much fun! 👍❤️

@neauoire

"Masks are required and will be provided at the welcome table!" ⭐

"Vegan lunch will be provided on a by-donation basis." ⭐

@neauoire interesting and timely topics! 🖤

@neauoire great picture!

@neauoire "Vancouver named it Desolation Sound, cryptically claiming that "there was not a single prospect that was pleasing to the eye". "

o.....k!

@neauoire for a second there, thought this was a picturesque screenshot from a hyper realistic game. I think, because it looks almost hyper real

@neauoire Calling myself 適当 is one of my go-tos to get a laugh in Japanese lol

@neauoire @wryl 😅

@neauoire I regret nothing! 🤣

@neauoire what does the arrows-button (?) in the window's top right do?

@neauoire I called it. marquee is the future.

@neauoire Hello. This is the Accessibility police and I am directing you to take down this <marquee> element because it is not adhere to WCAG standards. Thank you for your cooperation.

@neauoire I am loving this etymological adventure. Noticed someone above had mentioned the knots in the pine tree. However having recognized a face on anything can have an animating effect in our brains.

@neauoire -òcchio is a productive diminutive suffix (which are legion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_diminutives_by_language#Italian), like in "ranocchio".

@neauoire
I think it's unrelated to "occhio" as the word for eye, it sounds more like a typical (especially in certain regions) old way to construct a diminutive, from pino in this case, like barbocchio, pastrocchio, etc

@notgull maximally dumb idea: could we write a cranelift backend that produces C code instead of machine code, and then compile that on the target machine?

@notgull Good luck! How much have you looked into the implementation of a trait solver, out of interest? I'll bet that's likely going to be the most complex element of the project.
