Your stacks are not leakinguxn affirmations
You didn't mix up INC and INC2
You made sure to flip your conditions before refactoring code into a conditional lambda
You cleaned up the return stack before using JMP2r
You are not passing variables on the stack between vector calls
You're using relative pointers imminently after pushing them onto the stack
You are having fun

i have to say the prospects of a) not having that much stuff to begin with and b) owning my home visa vis my vehicle are very exciting for someone who absolutely hates the process of clearing out a rental
9 days left before the lease is up - have a schedule for taking advantage of days off work to do the really annoying stuff... it feels like i JUST did this... the past year went by so fast T-T

@brettm i created the repo for honk and its deps primarily to revendor to ensure it can still be built from source but at some point i probably will go in and try to improve interop and UX and stuff (one thing that i have been thinking about lately is the need to manually 'unplug' unresponsive instances)RE: https://cafe.nilfm.cc/u/nilix/h/8Q928sc6DF22T4W3H2

JCVI-syn3A, a synthetic cell with 493 genes (452 protein-coding; 41 RNA), is the simplest free living organism known. ~80% of the protein-coding genes are functionally annotated, but we still don’t know what the other 20% do (except that removing any of them makes it unviable). There’s also a whole-cell kinetic model for ~98% of the enzymatic reactions in the cell. This is the real frontier of artificial life, not masses of linear algebra over a text model…

"The season of the Smoke Moon drifts from Tiliard’s roots upward. It rises from the shores of the Catoptric, the pipework of rhizomes and limestone where falling pebbles spark like flint in the reeds. Green witch-flames burp to life on the water’s surface, both guideposts and hazards to passing riverboats. A blanket of black cloud rolls in from the fields as farmers light the harvest’s detritus." -- The Works of Vermin

and also there is the piece about how for disaster and weather forecasting and stiff like analytical chemistry there is a legit gap in methods and knowledge that is being filled. with 99% of the cases of mainstream genAI we are not filling a gap- we are creating one by robbing people of their livelihoods and capacity for critical thought and skill acquisition

and the homie Arvind in particular likes to say "but the weather and disaster modelling etc!" and like, yes, the underlying ML tech is basically the same but im not trying to sell you on modern webdev just cause web components exist am i???
other "tech nerds': oh this new model is so cool, it gives such great results!
me: if i cant run it on 15 y/o hardware with 8GB of vram its just exploitationware

yesterday a fellow ex tech worker came up to me at the cafe while i was working on ryudov2 and we started chatting, and we shared this kind of feeling that you have to identify oppression in your life directly and be open enough to the risks to say "fuck no" i had the additional observation that as someone who had a meteoric rise in my career, transitioned, and then went into poverty while the world falls apart around me, i have a very different relationship to risk, truth, and fulfillment than most, and for example working at the co op i see people of all ages just accepting the oppression of these low wages and gruelling hours while management gets a living wage and plenty of time off and nobody even THINKS to hold the board accountable- i suggested a strike one time and they thought i was joking...RE: https://kolektiva.social/@nogodsnomasters/117114761590039464

I do want to color and clean this set and re-release it but i'm so freaking busy for the next few weeks I figured I'd release it now to gauge interest and open up the possible income stream
