David Lynch's Weather Report

It's November, 13, 2020. A Friday.

See the comment by Clair de Lune:

"Last night an ash tree was about to tell me something - and didn't." . . "Today I fight alone with a word." . . . But.. "I clung to your hands so that something human might exist In the chaos." /Octavio Paz // Helene Cixous/ _____ 'Gently, dreamily, quietly' I wish you a beautiful day.. Mr. Lynch ♡


Then see:





See my reply:

@Clair de Lune Debussy from an electronic circuit: https://youtu.be/8WDNgfnZ3HM Your metalanguage is much easier to understand than any superficial syntax language invented by a second-rate computer scientist with pretensions to being a logician! You remind me of a person I once met, though we never had anything that you could call a conversation. She was a research assistant in the laboratory where I "worked" (I was a rat there) and I used to gaze at her from afar in a way that must have been uncomfortably obvious to her and everybody else, but I was past caring, stuff was so screwed up in that place. I was terribly in love with her, in a way that only Sappho could express, and so I spent hours typing out the verses by Sappho in polytonic Greek, intending to send it to her on St. Valentine's day. But I discovered a week or so before that she had a boyfriend, so I thought better of that and just posted them on my web page, hoping that she might see it one day and wonder idly if it were meant for her. It's under the section "You must be bored": https://web.archive.org/web/20090805100636/http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~ig206/ unfortunately the postscript file containing the Greek text didn't get archived for some reason. Pity, it was by far the best bit of the whole thing. I don't actually remember the magic moment at all, ... But there must have been one.https://youtu.be/4eZjwJZF8uE

This song seems appropriate: Laura Pausini Amores Extraños https://youtu.be/n1mDNXEKWw4

I would still like to know where this is supposed to be going because we were around here over a year ago. See I Just Got an e-mail From My Daughter. I was deeply wrong about sanity not being far away! See My Family, Message For Britain and then Sci Fi Short - Exile and More Fucking Art Life.


Here's the full song by CCC:

... and his posterity too? See  On Communication in Linear Time And Hypertext And The Gospel of Sophia . So it looks like El Cielo of the cistine [sic!😂] chapel is not the limit anymore.  I think I just met one of his descendents. A guy called Versailles Toledo who is from Chiapas. That might explain the murals I mention in my recent untitled post , just before the post mentioning this video. I also just took this photo of Rafael Gonzales, born here in Tecate, B.C., who told me about a spring near here called Agua Fría , half way from Tecate to Loma Tova , where, a few decades ago, people used to go to have barbecues and stuff, but now he thinks it may be private land. If someone reading this has a Facebook account, please write a link to this post onto his FB page. To see why I took the photo, look at his T-shirt and the horse-shoes and ponder this: Subscribe to BeatrizER and her video(s?) about mathematical logic, ... Sounds like Edith (II) Rix has been online all the t...

This was in The Guardian: David Turner obituary , only eight days after I posted  David Turner Talking About Sixty Years of Functional Programming History : This talk was given in London in 2017: See  Turner, D. A. "Some History of Functional Programming Languages" also  John Hughes - Why Functional Programming Matters  and David MacQueen's talk at ICFP 2015 in  Numberphile - Sophie Maclean on the Catalan Numbers . At 10:30 This whole discussion abut combinator reduction is especially interesting. I didn't know Arthur Norman had tried building hardware for combinator machines. I'll look that up: maybe start here A.C. Norman  Faster combinator reduction using stock hardware  in LFP '88: Proceedings of the 1988 ACM conference on LISP and functional programming. At 26:25 on the ISWIM virtual machine implemented in the PAL compacting garbage collector?! This work Reynolds and others did was at MIT in Masecheusetts and Argonne National Laboratory ...
