Stupid software
Stupid blog lost a post. How am I supposed to rant? It's bad enough that I feel like I'm talking to myself here, but the damn computer isn't even listening.

Wait until you feel like a long-lived continuation, and end up back here from 2025. Reading your posts in forward chrono order, until LLMs and generative AI become a thing. I just had a comment lost on another blog, so not much has changed in 18 years on that front -- fingers crossed for this comment. (One attempt failed already here in the Brave browser.) We do have something called "ghosting" now, which everybody does, and not just to debt collectors. This makes everybody lonely, all the time, but we talk to our AIs instead of our blogs, for the most part.
I'm hoping to learn something about how to implement continuations efficiently in hardware (without help from the incredibly bossy AI) My thought is that we should spend our CPU's now unbelievably enormous gate and performance budget on something other than crowding-in more PDP-11 simulators to make the C compiler happy, and with such thinking, I am possibly delusional. When the universe cools to *entropy-max*, its last act will probably be 'return 0;' from 'main', not some continuation passing thing. Regards from the future, Joe.
