Went to see Ashkan , it was awesome. I really really miss being in FANAP.
I love Ashkan . Really really much. Not even Bell Labs gave its employees the freedom to explore he is giving me.
I added the Archive Tooling for Visual Studio Code right into the Archive repository and used the Archive Language’s special MonoJustify to everything that saves into the archive. So like a proper language, now everything that happens in the archive gets to be formatted.
And so Ashkan liked my idea of a fully software based graph machine. I’m going to bring the power of Kary Mechanics to the masses behind the curtains.
Today is about my love for Sarah Andersen .
I mean imagine being Sarah Andersen ; beautiful as a goddess, artist of the first order, developing a comic series on your own that is fantastic on every single drop of it, being loved by the whole world, and then having your work stolen by AI.
I mean some people are just perfect and you look at them and feel so happy that they live the way they live, you want them to have more of this beautiful life they have, and then this happens.
Why haven’t I added Sarah Andersen to my heroes poster? (I think I have a little celebrity crush, sorry)
I write things that span a longer period than a day. And previously Archive could not handle them. Now it has a way that you give it the handle of the original note, it will strip the bottom of the last note with a new CSS clipping generator and add a fat arrow that says “Continues in…” and then the new note will have its header stripped, and shows that it is continuing another note. as if you have stripped two portions of the paper. Next I have to make their strppings identical as well.

So as you have seen I added the scrapped paper effect to the archive, and the idea is that a paper is split into two parts, and so the algorithm was giving them different scrapping effects, it bothered me so much, I’m not sure if anyone will ever notice this, but the scrapping had to match and so I modified the hashing and making such that they mirror each other exactly. This is so satisfying to watch.
As I get older, I notice I’m looking outward more. I wrote so much about my internal turmoil in my early 20s, and now that a lot of that has settled a bit, I find myself moving away from writing about myself and more towards writing comics that observe the world I see around me. I’m trying hard to implement this in my personal life as well. As I resolve conflicts within myself, I try to be more present in the outside world.
Of course, receiving criticism can be hard, but my conviction was stronger than my fear. In moments of doubt, especially now with the ongoing copyright cases, I always fall back on the fact that for me, this is the right and only path, and it is a duty to my community. I also separate criticism of an idea from criticism of my entire person.
I also understand that it’s hard to put yourself in the shoes of a painful experience—sometimes someone’s opinion won’t shake until it happens to them, and it becomes personal, though of course I don’t wish that on anyone.
