  • It seems you’ve thought deeply about this. I’ve done so as well.

    It really fucking freaks me out that such a large chunk of our society is detached from objective, verifiable realty. A fair amount of what they believe is pants-on-head crazy vengeance fantasy. Another big chunk has spooky parallels to literal Nazi propaganda such as the Protocol of the Elders of Zion, it’s so similar that it’s obviously just borrowed. It’s shocking that more people don’t see it for what it transparently is.

    I have no clue what can be done about it. I don’t know how society heals this or reinforces the value of facts, sanity, and critical thinking.

    You got anything? Any thoughts about where we go from here? How to unfuck their heads? Where does this end if they aren’t deprogrammed? How long will we be trapped in this?

    Genuine questions because I ain’t got a fucking clue at this point.

















  • G Code is basically a geometric scripting languge and isn’t Turing complete in basic implementations. Every manufacturer pretty much also has their own dialect that is Turing complete.

    Gcode with control commands and variables is called, no shit, Macro G Code. It’s Turing complete. That form of variable names is normal and is inherited from hardware registers/banks and TTL.

    It’s not unusual for a save dialog to be labelled Punch as it has a direct lineage from punch tape.

    Kind of like assembly and a graphing calculator had an abortion together.
