From last night

lprovenI am in so much excruciating pain that I can't sleep... But sleeplessness makes it worse. And as the anaesthesia gradually wears off, it's spelt getting worse. I also keep vomiting, which provides only very brief transient relief.
I have, or had, all sorts of profound insights I wanted to share, but I'm so unwell I just couldn't. I hope I can remember some, in a few days' time.
I wanted to talk about PCA, its fully intentional lack of keyboard buffering, and how that makes it the world's slowest and least enjoyable video game.
I was trying to rough out something about recovering from deep long anaesthesia, and try to draw some kind of comparison with Unix single user mode and gradually bringing up a machine progressively.
About the problem when the recovery room staff aren't native English speakers and you doubting your own comprehension. About quantum time blurriness and wondering if all such experiences in one's life are the same one.
And if they are, if I managed to send a message to 1994 Liam about bitcoin.
About GA, going into it, coming out of it, and subjectivity and sentience.

Date: 2023-04-23 05:50 pm (UTC)When you see your ship go sailing
When you feel your heart is breaking
Hold on tight to your dream
Hmm, it's a long time to be gone
Oh, time just rolls on and on (hold on)
When you need a shoulder to cry on
When you get so sick of trying
Just-a hold on tight to your dream
When you get so down that you can't get up
And you want so much, but
you're all out of luck
When you're so downhearted and misunderstood
Just over and over and over you go
