I may later be able to accquire preprints that I can share.

crtdaydreams: I have a bit more NS lore I'll share when I find the time
crtdaydreams: It can probably wait til I get the preprints
crtdaydreams: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2026-01-28#1117795 << it's better than nothing, and ams is doing an excellent job chipping away at it

crtdaydreams: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2026-01-28#1117797 << I have yet to bind all the cadet inputs (letalone find the time to figure out what would be optimal), would you have a usim config you could share?
dulapbot: Logged on 2026-01-28 21:21:39 phf: blasting keyboard input can only happen by accident, or as a harmless prank, and for those cases you have BREAK key
crtdaydreams: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2026-01-28#1117794 << would be very interested to hear from them, though not keen to be the break in anyones sabbatical
dulapbot: Logged on 2026-01-28 20:53:17 phf: i'm pretty sure both exist. or rather i have a copy of NS with ivory schematics. i know someone who had dpl/daedalus running on his cadr emulator. i'll follow up on that, the person in question is taking an extended break from computers
crtdaydreams: alf mentioned in the the old #trilema logs someone supposedly reimplemented NS in common lisp
crtdaydreams: I can confirm that was David Tan. He's currently CEO of Point & Click Solutions that run healthcare systems, I've got no leads to contact him though
crtdaydreams: also, the search function in asciilifeforms logs is broke
