Why yes, I do communicate via esoteric languages incomprehensible to the average person, why do you ask?

You act like having bedeviled computing is a bad thing, I'll have you know my old computer has tons of demons operating in the background and I still don't know how it works or what the angels are doing.

Is this using sitelen mun? I've always wondered what that would look like for more complex sentences.

Except... sitelen mun doesn't merge circles like that, I think. So is this another way of writing Gallifreyan, or is this from somewhere in Doctor Who?

SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 2d (3 replies)

I think it is. The connected circles denote words or sentences iirc

zener_diode@feddit.org · 4 pts · 2d (2 replies)

After a closer look at it, I think it might be a different version/some kind of derivative of sitelen mun. Some parts don't make sense, in particular the tiny circle crossing the small circle, for example here

However, it does contain the (more or less) correct syntax for names (multiple different ones). For example here

which I think reads "jan Loulou" or "jan Luoluo".

So I think its close enough to sitelen mun to be based on it, but its definetly something different.

This is a single-layer PCB, neither microscopic nor semiconducting. Rather impressive routing but chip design is at a whole new level that doesn't fit in this little JPEG

It's possible to show multiple zoom levels with a "crop window" (even recursively for many orders of magnitude) but it takes effort in image editing

This is the Zilog Z80, a very minimalist CPU easy to put into portable hardware like the Game Boy or TI-84

ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1d

Um, ackshually, the Game Boy used a derivative of the much older Intel 8080, with some of the Z80 instructions sneaked into it!

Meanwhile, printers have been inhabited, programmed, and manufactured by Satan since their invention.

So, I mean... I don't see what the issue is. It's not like we're not used to demonic infused computing.

No it's not Satan, Blood Magic always takes its toll eventually. It's why they need periodic blood sacrifices to operate properly.

How can you have a microscopic megastructure?

RiceMunk@sopuli.xyz · 7 pts · 2d

A microscopic megastructure would be just a structure. I would argue that electronics are more like milliscopic decastructures. Or CPU-level stuff could arguably be nanoscopic kilostructures.

0x0@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 2d

Ir's akin to a macroscopic ministructure, but in reverse.
