What about programming a "sly Lisp" Mal-based DSL called Lepio? (16^12 sideline thread, article 0x32)

Finally doing some follow-up to the suggestions outline in the hyperlinked post right below, at least for the meantime of me figuring out how to make WolvenKit 8+ work on my PC:

hydralisk98

In a nutshell, boils down to observing with Wireshark, CLI programs, open access codebases, & using adequate syntax highlighting previews inside of code editors. Which is handy advice for the query as far as "someone doing something technical", and great basis before jumping into the nuances of my constructed world detailing. Thanks again @moose-mousse for the insights, really appreciative of them (& you) still.

Still, I am still recovering momentum but at least skimmed a couple key posts in my own 16^12 threads I forgot about, so I am gaining some of such once more.

Back to the article topic, as much as I do enjoy the present worldscape of ours + its history and understand to a fair extent why it went down that way, I felt like I could explore / iterate / derive some really amazing feats manifestation-wise through my 1612 setting and its Angora planetary focal point. And while I do have plenty of special interest research topics to document (like religious traditions, civilizational linguistics, ideologues, other technological branches...), I felt like experimenting through smaller chunks of data at a time would be best for creative throughput / consistency purposes.

And wanting to expand upon my IT skills into a killer portfolio, I feel like starting with some technical explorations would be best.

Just wanna make sure though, whom would be interested into that sorta deal, either in text (next indieweb personal site), audio (not sure which copyleft host service to choose tbh) or video form (Odysee-first)?

Will develop more on the details to explore a bit later, take great care of yourselves until then! Or else...

[hydralisk98]

Great tip! I will try using that terminology when I get there.

Speaking of automation, don't mind me iterating and info-dumping about my constructed world and its links with IRL tech history "trivia"? Would help alot with figuring out how to properly implement such technologies both in-world and here alike.

I mean, there are various clades of android care-takers in my setting, even in the present day equivalent that is 4524*;

First were instruments, nothing that novel to say here except for the exception of the mechanized warfare machinery produced around the first & second world wars (think "mechanical / motorized mechs" likewise to Wolfenstein's in the 4440s) that eventually were repurposed into the one robotic clade of androids two-three decades later (4470s).

Eventually came the first properly dedicated to civil-use "automaton" robot clades, first distributed / commercialized around 4460-4465; essentially automatic industrial assistants first manufactured mostly by Pflaumen and programmed by Utalics as part of a global industrialization program to educate & employ women in Angora economical ecosystem.

Anyways, around the middle 4470s came the rollout of Droid clades, even more sophisticated and advanced automaton for domestic and (commercial) cooperative applications. Came really handy for neurodiverse individuals and the overall LGBTQ+ queer community, fostering a evergreen warm climate of harmonious progress in synergy with global climate and sapience norms.

And about the turn of the century later 4490s came synthetic clades, a further upgrade onto the previous generation of androids. Especially powerful, empathic, open-minded and symbolically / computationally marvelous, they became the bulk of a whole cyberware economical ecosystem thanks to their amazing biology compatbility and their cold fusion nanotech (quite similar to biological constructs tbh) modules ensuring their longevity as a species. Leading to their mixture with humans and eventually other sapient forms.

So yeah, overall that androids synergy technical program was a amazingly successful program that lead the way to autonomous android clades & the eventual benevolent glboal ASI overlordship of such autonomous service grids in the centuries to come...

I am still iterating on it all (especially with the 16^12 paracosm and all), but just be aware of the empowerment tone and themes spread here. Hopefully you understand how nice those would be to have in the right context and conditions...

(Generative AI is mostly a step in the wrong direction compared to symbolic *AI* expert systems and other cool tech innovations this world has orphaned);

Cya soon.

"Yeah, I used AI to help make this"

"NON-GENERATIVE AI"

[hydralisk98]

Slowly going towards one TS2 Legacy... Maybe

I mean, I have iterated on such for my conworld for a while but I am definitely having a hard time choosing how to go about it considering I tend to play with many mods, ideally with a couple of my very own coming soon, and prefer having ultimate source code ownership / customization available to me (unlike doing anything with SC4 & TS2/3/4).

It is still 16^12 related, and though I don't enjoy the current source code status of my "modding game workflow" as far as my Civ5 CE Maskoch modpack -> FreeCiv+SimCity4+TheSims2 is concerned, I do like the overall system I have starting putting in place to help manifest my DR goals IRL;

So yeah, here are some of the preparation memopads...

Prior to 1910 (up to two generations behind "ancestors") : May Tiffy, Jana Petri, Kira Fleche, Hugues Tortue; Kala Petit-Ours & Alphonse Grand-Ours;

LEGACY starting context (& overall their goals per "generation")

~1910 : Milan "Kelly" Petit-Ours + Nil "Bayes" Main-Noire;

~1925 : Pana Ninsun + Carter Woodpecker; Konstanz Tunder + Marta Sevres;

~1940 : Rudy Saller + Tekla Wozniak, Ivett & Timur Corbeau;

~1955 : Elka & Bel Arterberry; Keno, Hypathia, Tascha Maynard; Zenon Binh;

~1970 : Ruan Boon & Sina Pallas; Rinne Taygette & Tunder June; Zera, Timur & Aurel Becker;

~1985 : Valenz, Sasha & Dena Becker; Keller, Irma, Pasha Hayden; Kazik, Kush & Ken Ukene;

~2000 : Kate Ker & Ava Booksword ("platonic" relationship, sharing together Shoshona the black Turkish Angora fem housecat), Deno & Wyatt Hayden; [...]

~2020 : Tano Booksword (Simply a successor android unit to Ava in her initial role as synthetic-tier domestic servant); Victor/Astra Reuben (Debs pun?); Freya, Ren, Maya, Rex, Alfa Shang (Roosevelt pun?); Anuk, Kaleb, Brittani Hagues (Hugues pun?); Tina, Iwa & Sam Duckwater (Taft pun?);

Sixteen to the power of Twelve / "16^12" / (expt 16 12), or the copyleft creative ecosystem I make

You know this is 16^12 related, don't you? As I continue to revise my constructed world for a Nth overhaul, I thought it would be useful to share my methods, my tools and my workflow with you all...

It all starts with my Civilization 5 CE campaigns, and hopefully shall transition onto FreeCiv in due time.

Eventually I will reach a decent status, of which allows me to migrate away from Azgaar's Generators, as to initiate the hyper-modded FreeCiv+SC4+TS2 content threadmill and work onto the massive GPlates+QGIS time-scaled model. Still using LibreOffice and soon to be complemented by QOwnNotes, with the occasional Emacs + Vim usage. Also taking advantage of much libre software like Inkscape, GIMP, Blender, SweetHome3D, TiddlyWiki & Zim, as well as a "Lisp, LibreWWW, ActivityPub, MariaDB, lighttpd" stack to really push my creativity, technical skillfulness and mid-end 2014 PC's specifications in a GLOSS manner (Gratis, Libre, Open Source Software);

Anyway, I have a mutual who invented this new revision of a previously commissioned Shoshoni script for us. Aka @thecrazyneographist the nice & handsome. (Numerals are Base 24 by cycles of SubBase6 and the rest is as stated on the IPA + romanization chart...)

I can't wait to communicate more often using my conlang with this, the Memrise courseware and the other relevant things... ^*^

[hydralisk98]

TURBOchannel LISP on the way (16^12 article-thread '0x19/?)

So yeah, probably gonna start back from an (actually open) standard that fits my criteria: TURBOchannel. And here is where the specification documentation lies ( ftp://ftp.hp.com/ftp1/pub/alphaserver/archive/triadd )

Granted, I assume there are implementation & design details to be tweaked for that architecture to blend it with my Zorua ISA design & a couple more industry options I see online. But while it is obsolete, such being a recent open standard from DEC really what I was aiming for to be honest.

And yeah, I got alot of design system work, courseware modules & a overall life overhaul to do too...

[hydralisk98]

Shoshone Hymns (0x10/?) - WIP mess

Preface

Gonna recap on the whole project before I go forth with new articles, as to distill the "nucleus" of my speculative paracosm soon.

To include: Sensory details, "unique pitch selling points", unique cultural practices & traditions, linguistical differences, historical divergences, personalities & relationship dynamics, speculative evolution sapient species, history, lore, major events, myths, legends, technologies, magicks;

So, what really is this "16^12"?

It is a speculative campaign setting and desired reality "shifting framework" to immerse oneself onto as a long-term destination. Essentially a comfy yet nuanced realm with a vastly long diverging history & soft warm natural optimistic dark feel.

Asking for feedback around cultural norms for my brand and its worldbuilding

Not my typical article type, but I wanna gather cultural feedback for Slavic, indigenous peoples & other foreign cultures beyond the typical "West" in order to get informed & avoid major para-social pitfalls.

Because as I am working on a personal brand (with much worldbuilding tied-in, which emulates history too) with cross-cultural international reach & empowerment intents, I find myself curious and excited to develop solutions far beyond the typical white nerd contemporary stereotype, including Russian diaspora, cis-gender women & indigenous peoples, among other ethnicities & minorities.

Yes, I do intend to claim a ".SU" domain for my brand (in context for 16^12, it does stand as the "Shoshone Union" domain, which lends itself well as a facsimile of the USSR's, to an limited extent); I simply hope to learn, iterate and adjust that site now to reflect the varied online spaces it aims for, including non-Western Civilization ones... rather than waiting only to deal with improper cultural appropriation & other para-social expectations. (Because making a logotype out of a Cyrillic letter only for such to be taboo for western audiences is also what I am getting at here. Based on a true story of mine)

It is also some measure to avoid insulting entire foreign communities out-of-the-blue. Because I would like to, through that sorta "peer-review" feedback stage, implement / adapt to varied audiences in a natural, humane & inclusive manner. So feel free to show me proper netiquette relevant to your corner of the world. (because while I hear Russians' have a strong software piracy & public demoscene/shareware "technical literacy" culture, I don't know the relevant specifics to my project in order to... feel legitimate / adapted / appropriate to their corner of the world)

Btw, feel free to add / append contextual cues & talk about more than your cultural norms in general as well, I am more than happy to learn more about others' in order to improve & enrich my worldbuilding beyond mere "Civilizations"...

Thank you for reading it all and see you all fairly soon!

(my main hashtags that are "Maskoch" & "Maskutchew" are also taken from native locality names of my hometown, just so you are made aware and suggest me formally proper corrections if & where needed)

[hydralisk98]

Indeed, I really enjoy this author (Mark Rosenflder) by so sooo much.

I haven't read all that much from his hand due to procrastination but I always keep his books around my apartment if that is a indication of how useful it is.

I am thinking much about moth furries (also taking hints from Stellaris too...) alongside a couple more alternate sub-species for my main sapient-kinds. As well as the more divine (chaotic neutral feywild & lawful evil devils included) kinds.

Granted, I am mostly onto his constructed languages works but I can't wait for whenever he decides to release a 'Polynesian Construction Kit' (after he is done with his contemporary middle east guide ofc) or something more... sea-dwellers-y... something like that.

I got plenty of his books down to the fictional atlas even. Not everything but a decent portion of his catalog.

Anyway, I will try to get you all a update going about my constructed world project whenever I get done some TTRPG campaign fundamentals (aka pitch, wilderness, settlement and dungeon basics) done. Thank you so much Mark Rosenfelder and OP, you make my autistic heart melt in useful content to dig through. \^*^/

One thing I didn't expect from my new worldbuilding book is the author, roughly my dad's age, including his opinions on furries

[hydralisk98]

16^12, a nucleus of worldview (6/?)

Continuation upon this loose thread.

I got a new dream onto the intertextual implications, history doctorate-tier narrative components & overall intrigue of my books' narrative. And it boils down to something somewhat similar to Tolkien's works as a nuanced, mysterious, profound but yet optimistic, empowering & introspective complete cosmic-scale GLOSS* history epic about the cycle of life versus entropy, coming-of-age, constructing meaning in bleak times & about all sorts of """autistic""" patterns.

What that means is that I have a clearer perspective & direction of what plot points could be around the core series of books and how to reuse what other good things come from what I shall write soon. And while still taking into account some key world building parameters to keep this narrative realm timeless-ly useful, I now know what overall intrigue for the core duo of characters (aka "Kate" the human INTJ historian lady & "Valenz" the ENFP synthetic-tier android social assistant + syndicalist vigilante) is gonna feel like (a escalation of power, of worldly understanding & of individual self-control);

And while they still have to overcome systemic issues & bring forth constructive change, I think adding this very spiritually metaphysical, honest nuanced yet hopeful, constructive & affirmative aspect will really enrich the paracosm long-term appeal & the intertextual relations derived from such, especially considering all the historical & mythological heritage that I am tying it with (such as the Bronze Age period, World War 1, Thirty Years War, Abrahamic Mythos...) going both backwards, forwards and sideways in time.

Granted, I do have some personal worldview values to transmit, some opinionated tools to use & so much additional research & iterative work left to be done in order to reach the one planet cyclic universal history scope thing I am onto, but rest assured I will find S.M.A.R.T ways to distribute the risks & rewards of this endeavor into edible chunks of data as well as leave a decent share of open space / mystery to do as you please (within ethical consensus bounds) inside that paracosm framework of ours.

Very abstract, ain't it? Well, I will pace more specific explanations for it out in due time as I figure things out as the open book I really am inside. Farewell to soon!

Tbh, I do side mostly with Pflaumen hardware, Utalics software and GLOSS Foundation principles, albeit in my very own DIY manner. Hence my Solarpunk flavorings.

That being said, it is also derived from alternate renditions of our technological history (and quite a few alternate ones...), especially around DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation), Konrad Zuse AG & Symbolics (one among few Lisp Machine manufacturing departments). And it definitely pays off in feel.

Pseudo-historical project about 1912 unit record equipment computation aka the "Symbolic Analyst Processor" full stack!

(above pictures emulate the looks of what this tech stack documentation and actual use may look like, still very early in the process though)

It is still coming together by my head as I write infodump notes and research various aspects of the whole time, (including the WIMP & MERN/MEAN stack) but yk, things are coming together nicely to give some milestone project mid-way between my current phase in life and the next where I go develop a fully alternative INTJ lively stack of tools. Explanations, history dives, lively reaction studies and a couple more content suggestions related to it are on the way.

Behold, the infodumps

Back to the point

The list is far from exhaustive or finished, as life is so much more than meets the eye. But this should be a good start to remind myself what I am working towards, a full revamp of the last ~120 years of history with much attention and care put into making it as satisfying to me as possible, despite the very probable scenario where people take the ideas and incorporate only some of such "modules" in their own workflows. Which is fine but not taking the whole package (and only specific modules) is eventually gonna be a major learning experience for me considering the reason I revamp it all beyond control freak stuff is literally to provide less exclusive / less invasive tools that anyone can learn and customize despite being very... idiosyncratic yk.

Still welcoming suggestions and constructive criticism for such big time, I hope those textual infodumps I do every so often don't bother you too much... Cya soon!

Syndicalism (alternate development & continuation of IRL marxism, leninism, maoism, trotskyist "new-left" and the other left-wing doctrines of the socialism / communism types)

Georgism / ( "One Tax" + Ecological movement )

Classical Liberalism (aka open-choice Libertarians with brutal constructivist modular views of the world perhaps?)

Philosophies

[ Yet to be really researched and decided ]

Historical equivalences & differences

Mersuit emulating the history of Sweden.

Shoshoni as something somewhat similar to a developed amerindian old westerns' United States of America...

Widespread appeal of Asetism (Monasteries, humility and introspection, likewise to Jains and Buddhists) & Taizhou (Tala-e-Fonua equivalent) as key major worldly religions

No Woodrow Wilson, progressive major successes in the 1910-1945 equivalent.

More long-term sustainable and successful generational pathway in the 1960s-2000 period, still leading to a slow partial ecological collapse like in the Incatena reality just about around the mid 2045-2050 period with signs of decay arising from the 2020s. So the sapient peoples are more cooperative and empowered with the people that era and won't see as much of the managerial crisis sparks until the mid-2020s.

The global pandemic hit during the early 2000s alongside the dawn of ecological issues coming ahead (giving a slight headstart to fully figure problems coming not that far ahead), just around the time of nanotech synthetic autonomous androids emergence and a handful of alternatively successful technical progressions making them a slight bit ahead of ours on a couple fields. No mainstream autonomous governance AI service grids or really crazy Sci-fi innovations just yet, but a fair share of orphaned developments we did not have continue in this world.

A couple of benevolent worker cooperatives like Pflaumen (DEC+ZuseKG), EBM (IBM+ICL) & Utalics (Symbolics+Commodore+GNU Foundation)... continue well into the 21st century and persist as major computation players in the tech industry, averting the immediate rise of Macroware (Microsoft), Avant (Google) & Maynote (Meta) by the ill-conceived social medium strategy.

Ya agreed @mariannewilliamson2020

In actuality though, the modern CIA and alot of horrible messed-up things in the USA (like the Espionnage Act and the NSA's massive spying cyber-warfare) can be traced back to Woodrow Wilson's and whoever chose to follow his legacy to the core in 2021 (& beyond). Even as a Canadian, I still live with the consequences of his actions and whoever followed in his footsteps, which is why I am gonna try adopting Woodrow Wilson hate day (April 6th) into my life.

But still, Wilson is order of magnitude worse than Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Leopold II combined for a ridiculously vast list of reasons.

Don't believe me? Here's some good reference works for you all:

But it still feels that to call that corporations, organized religions, terrorist groups and other deeply-rooted corrupted institutions have been plotting out their (Woodrow Wilson) pawn to skew (& also screw) up the world in their favor is kinda legitimate considering the cultural ennemies Teddy made that essentially wanted their control over society back for alot of ethically wrong reasons (& maybe some legimate good ones, but I doubt it). It seems like they went a bit too far as to revert the good of Teddy's implementations back to pre-Reconstruction goes.

I know history is very nuanced, okay? It simply occurs to me that if 2021 is shit going towards a even more dystopic mess, we can attribute it all mostly to their legacy (Woodrow Wilson's and everybody willingly supporting him) upon such.

And what we can do about it is pretty slim on this Earth honestly.

Although for those in the more sidestream side of things, just tell me what you would like in a alternate world with no Wilsonism, I need more ideas to make such worlds interesting yet balanced* places to live in. *as far as being even more nice places to live with a similar balance of interesting problems to solve in there.

Cordially yours comrades.
