Before the list becomes a monotonous stream of coding-error-messages. https://www.quantamagazine.org/how-to-make-the-universe-think-for-us-202205… Following any successful anarchist revolution cypherpunks WON'T write code. Let the machines do it. Amirite? I can't believe the elementary shit I have to send in here these days. Did IQ's drop while I was away!?

[spam][draft] Why Write Code?
by Karl Semich 04 Jun '22

04 Jun '22

Introduction A longstanding disparity on the cypherpunks list, and in historical computer use in general, is the schism between people who joined without experiencing authoring software, and people who are familiar with authoring software to solve problems. Personally, as somebody who used to write software to solve my problems, the schism has been difficult to navigate. The skills needed to have status in an online developer community take a lifetime to master. The people with skills abstained from social involvement, from going outdoors, from parties, from movies, in order to spend their time learning how to direct computers. However, in modern days, the technology is developing such that anybody can do the kinds of things that it used to be only "elite cypherpunks" could do. AI can now write code for you: although somebody needs to write the code to let you do that, the entry barrier is much lower. And, so long as there is such freedom on the planet, it will keep lowering. I've observed people new to software development don't really understand that a computer can do absolutely anything. They seem to think the limits of computers are somehow bound to what people have told them. I thought I'd write something about that. Code Is Free Action When you get a device, or play a game, or a company markets a product, [apologies, this diatribe is inhibited by my personal issues. I _tried_ to make it cohesive! I needed to make the intro shorter, rather than planning to shorten it later.]

Some revolutionary software has been stolen by the last-empire, a military/industrial combine thats taking over the planet. Targeting dissidents and code rebels stormtroopers of the empire are similar to 1st generation OSD robocops, while high up positions in the empire have been favored by players in field tests, the survival and resistance tactics and strategy of the rebels win over longer term players as they delve into the multi-verse world of 2006.

Taiwan Restricts Russia, Belarus to CPUs Under 25 MHz Frequency | Tom's Hardware

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/taiwan-restricts-exports-of-25mhz-cpus-to… "Due to restrictions imposed on exports to Russia by the United States, United Kingdom, and the European Union, leading Taiwanese companies were among the first to cease working with Russia after the country started full-scale war against Ukraine in late February. This week Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) formally published its list of high-tech products that are banned from exportation to Russia and Belarus, which prevents all kinds of Taiwan-produced high-tech devices as well as tools used to make chips (whether or not they use technologies originated from the U.S., U.K., or E.U., which were already covered by restrictions) to be exported to the aggressive nation. " "Items banned from exportation to Russia and Belarus are pursuant to Category 3 to Category 9 of Wassenaar Arrangement, which covers electronics, computers, telecommunications, sensors, lasers, navigation equipment, maritime technology, navigation, avionics, jet engines, and a number of other categories.
