I use Logic and I barely understand it. I need to watch some YouTube videos!

I just re-recorded that big pop at the beginning and re-uploaded. Hopefully that should fix things and sorry for the pop scare! Thanks again for the helpful advice and feedback.

Great points. My mic literally dropped during the recording (I was sitting in my bed). I'll try to fix that now and re-upload it (up to this point, the only regular listeners have been my parents and occasionally my wife). Also, excell

This is definitely helpful. I am thinking about making this story into an iPhone game. Not sure there’s enough game mechanics to keep it fun yet, but maybe there’s something with the feed vs stuff with a timer?

Another influence, especially for the binary numbers bit, was "Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software" by Charles Petzold. I've always loved his explanation of counting in binary.

Thank you! I recently read a great von Neumann biography (The Man from the Future by Ananyo Bhattacharya) and I've thinking about the von Neumann probes ever since. Definitely agree with you on how von Neumann probes are typically repr

Oh, also, "A Boy and his Blob" was another major influence. Such a weird game that my sister and I loved on regular Nintendo.

I'm not sure I even made this connection when writing this. But, as OP, I'm going to say yes. I mainly was thinking about how to connect Lemmings and Gremlins.

Wow, good point. Need to do that ASAP!

Yeah, this project is more for the strange souls who refused to toss their EO1s in the bin after the iOS app dropped from the App Store.

I had a weird dream about a secret Voyager probe recently, the Voyager III, and wrote a short story about it, if anyone’s interested: https://f52.charlieharrington.com/stories/voyager-3/ It’s fairly “Contact” by C

That’s the one. There’s a Colab link in the repo so you can try it out easily!

OP here. I read ALL the time. But I also do dishes. I find it hard to do dishes and read a physical book at the same time. Unless someone else was holding it up for me, slowly flipping the pages. That does sound nice.

Wonderful book that I think about all the time. So much so that I've jotted down my booknotes for Mindstorms here, if anyone's interested in a quick glance: https://charlieharrington.com/mindstorms/

Thanks! Following the thread of the story, it will be fascinating as these tools evolve (deliberate word choice) to create narrative-driven video. GPT-3 seems to already have the narrative side down, as evidenced in my story, but probably l
