the sergeant Preston of the Yukon. Again, on your feet! Woo-hoo! Woo-hoo! Woo-hoo! Gold, gold discovered in the Yukon, back to the days of the Gold Rush, and the adventures of sergeant Preston and his wonder dog, Yukon King, as they meet the challenge of the Yukon in their relentless pursuit of lawbreakers. The Quaker-Ostovari, makers of Quaker Pop Wheat and Quaker Pop Rice, the delicious cereal shot from guns, and the mutual broadcasting system present by special recording, Sergeant Preston of the Yukon. Our adventure will begin in just a moment. Last year, there was an average of 500 forest fires every day in the United States. The forest burn would make a slip nearly a mile wide around the earth at the equator. Ninety percent of these destructive fires were the result of carelessness on someone's part. The lighted cigarette carelessly flipped out the car window. A campfire left untended, a lighted match thrown into a dress of dry leaves, or any one of many other thoughtless acts that can cause a fire. When you are out in the woods, here are four simple rules of fire prevention to follow. Crush out cigarette cigar and pipe ashes. Break matches in two after using. Drown all campfires, then stir up and drown again. Always be sure to find out the law before using fire. By following these simple precautions, you will be doing your part in the prevention of costly forest fires that we can't afford. Remember, only you can prevent forest fires. Summer was coming to a close in the Yukon Territory. Two men rode the trail from Bear Landing to Selkirk and talked of how they hoped to gain quick wealth in the North Country. Lots of prospectors have been flocking to the bank in Selkirk during the past months of their summer stay. This would be good time for us to go to that bank and make a strike of our own. Yeah, I know Jerry. We gotta be sure we get away with it. First thing we'll do is to check and find out if the constable is away from town, like we're hurting this. You don't have to worry, Brock. I know that constable's out of town, but how could you be so sure? Well, the fact is I sent an Indian to Selkirk constable with trouble at Goose River. And since he's the only manly around Selkirk right now, he left town and went to Goose River yesterday afternoon. Hey, you sure use your head, that's right, Jerry. When do we pull that bank robber in? I'll see it late afternoon. We'll soon be in Selkirk. We'll go into the bank later today and there aren't many people there. And we'll be mighty far away before the constable gets back to town. Get a move on, huh? Get up there.  Later in Selkirk, there are only a couple of prospectors in the bank as Jerry and Brock entered an approach to the colors window. What can I do for you, mister? Leak, this is a hold up. There you go. I got the other covered. All right, you, come up behind there and line up with those two over there. Hurry. Sure, sure, mister. All right, watch him, right? Keep an eye on the door. I'll go back to the counter and put those sacks of gold in his carpet bag. All right, hurry it up. All right. Man, I got the gold. Let's get out of here quick. Wait, I'm not gonna let you get away with it.  All right, let's go. Come on, right? That evening, Sergeant Preston with his great dog Yukon King arrived in Selkirk. He learned the constable was out of town and heard about the robbery. Preston rode to the bank to get further information about the hold up. He received the details and the description of the two crooks. He learned the man was strange and he knew it would be difficult to pick up their trails since many others had gone in and out of the bank. Sergeant Preston was talking to the teller. So many people have been in and out of here both before and after the hold up. It's impossible for King to pick up the sentence. I mean, there isn't any way for him to find them? Not unless he could get the sentence, something one of the crooks is wearing Oh, it held in his hand. Then King toward front of it. Say, I grabbed it to one who carried the goal just before he cracked me over the head. I had this bandana in my hand when I came to. You sure this belongs to one of the thieves? Yes, yes, I grabbed it, he's told him. I must have hung on to this when I fell. And we really do want something to go on if we give King the sentence. I will try to pick up their trail in front of the bank. Come along, King. Out in front of the building, Sergeant Preston held out the bandana to King. The intelligent Husky sniffed out at the moment. Then Preston spoke. Find him, King, find boy. Woo-hoo! For a moment the great gauze sniffed the ground. Then gave a short bark to indicate he had the sentence. Woo-hoo! The big Husky started along the main street until he came to a space between two buildings into which he turned. Then he stopped and sniffed again. Woo-hoo! I must have moutered horses here. I can see the hoof marks. Come along, King. I'll get Blackie and then we'll go on to this point. Woo-hoo! Two crooks, Jerry and Brock, had ridden several miles from Selkirk to a settlement called Indian Runs. They stopped there a short time for food and rest. Then they continued on a short distance until they reached the branch trail. Jerry called the horse.  Hey, what are we stopping for, Jerry? See that branch trail, Brock? Yeah, I see it. It goes over to two miles. Well, from there we'll double back to Selkirk. We'll stop at two miles away side in and shave off our whiskers. Then we'll go on to Selkirk. Oh, maybe it's a good idea, Jerry. Sure it is. Selkirk is the last place anyone would think of hunting it. We'll put up at some small waterfront hotel and wait for the boat from Dawson dock. Then we'll book passage for the states and clear out. And let's give you a night.  A few hours later, Sergeant Preston and King reached the branch trail beyond Indian Run where the crooks had turned off. At that point, King stopped the moment, slipping the air. Sergeant Preston ran to a halt.  Oh! The way you're acting, King, I'd say they turned off onto the branch trail. The big hockey still another moment. And then started along the branch trail, whining and looking back. Oh! All right, fella, go ahead. I know you must be right, although it looks as if they headed back to on Selkirk. Head going, boy. Oh! Come on, Lucky. Oh! When Jerry and Brock again arrived in Selkirk with clean shaven faces, they rode along the waterfront until they reached the cheap and shoddy hotel. They left their horses in the shed behind the building, then went inside and poked the disreputable-looking woman who ran the place. Evening, Millie. Remember me? Hey, if you look familiar, these kids are like that. I used to have witches a couple of hours ago. I stayed here when I first came to the territory. I'm Jerry Collins. Oh yeah, sure. I remember you, Jerry. I haven't seen you for some time, though.  I'll never stay long in one place, Millie. Oh, this is a friend of mine, Brock Hopkins. Hi, Millie. Glad to know you. How come you two were traveling around so early in the morning? I only got in town on a short trip. They tell me something. Do you know what the constable is in town now? Yeah, he is. He got me out of bed now earlier this morning. He came here asking questions because of a bank robbery that happened at supper time last night. I see. Um, have you got a room first? Sure. One, two, five. First room on the left, please. Thanks. How long you're going to stay here? Again, by the way, if anyone comes asking questions, we've been here for a long time, get it? Yeah. How long, Jerry? Two weeks or so. Well, in that case, you owe me fifty bucks. Hey, what do you mean we owe you fifty? Yeah, I get it. You're smart, Millie. Yeah.  Yeah, thanks. Like I said, you've been here two weeks. By the way, maybe you'd like to know another man who came to town last night. Sergeant Preston, that's the dog that is. Sergeant Preston? Oh, that's all he was endorsing. Well, all I know is he came to town last night. Then he and that dog at least took out after the two crooks to rob the bank. I thought you two gentlemen would like to know. Yeah. Yeah, thanks a lot, Millie.  Hey, Jerry, I don't like what we heard about Preston, that muddy. God, stop worrying. But I hear that Husky's muddy, smarter trailing. I think we better not wait for the river packet, Jerry. We ought to find some other way to leave town right away. Maybe you're right. But if Boston picks up our trail somehow, leaving one of our horses won't help. Yeah, I know that. Wait a minute. Huh? He's into the window, Mark. What are you looking at? Look down there at the dock. See that big fishing boat? Yeah, what about it? That's the boat that's put in a bare landing two weeks ago, remember? I introduced you to the skipper. It was a friend of mine. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I remember. The way the smoke's pouring from the boat, I'd say that's fiction to leave. We'll head back up the river, and we could go with him if we pay him. Hey, that's nature, all right? We'll duck out the back way now and head to the dock right away. Well, you're taking chances with someone spotting us going out the front. What about our horses? We'll have to leave them here with Millie. With all the gold we have, we can afford to forget them. Let's go talk to the skipper of that boat right now. We'll continue our adventure in just a moment. Say, mothers, take it from the kids. The breakfast treat that can't be beat is Quaker Pop Right and Quaker Pop Wheat. They're the winner for sure. First of all, they're the winner for crisp, delicious taste, because they're the ones shot from guns. Quaker Pop Wheat and Quaker Pop Right are actually exploded up to eight times normal size. They're pop to perfection, and they're the winner for sunny natural flavor, a harvest of flavor that mother nature herself puts into the good, wholesome grain. So when dad and the youngsters pour out a bowl full of swell-tasting Quaker Pop Right or Quaker Pop Wheat, you can be sure there's no factory sweetening, no sugar added. Yes, that's the beauty of Quaker Pop Right and Wheat. The youngsters like to put sugar on them themselves, lots of it, and the grown-ups in the family may want to put on less sugar to suit their taste. Yes, look tomorrow at your store for delicious Quaker Pop Wheat and Quaker Pop Right. You can spot them in the familiar packages with the picture of the big gun on the front. Let's continue. Jerry and Brock carrying the carpet bag of gold left the small hotel through the back door, worried to the dark where the big fishing boat was moored. Let's go aboard, man. Hey, what are you two doing aboard? Hi, Skipper. I reckon you don't know me without my beard. Well, I don't. Oh, good. Oh, I know. You're Jerry. Yep.  I had a good reason. You were fixing to make a run up the river soon? Uh-huh. Leaving in about an hour or why? My friend and I want to make a deal about going along. Look, you know we have an accommodation for passengers. Why aren't you taking the regular boat? It'll be here in a day or two. Now, look, do you want to take it or don't you? Uh, for cash.  I figure you must be running out on the law. In that case, I'd be taking a big chance carrying it. Now, of course, for, uh, say, a hundred dollars a piece, I might do it. Only catfish. Two hundred to take a twenty mile?  But he, Skipper, we'll pay you the two hundred in gold. In gold, huh? Ha, ha, ha. I guess I hit the nail on the head. Sure, I admit we're running out on the law. Let's go into the cabin and we'll pay you. What? Even if that mowley tries to mid-take up our trail, he and that mutt of his will be stumped once we leave on this fishing mode. Ha, come on, let's get inside. It was almost an hour later when Sergeant Preston and King arrived at the Waterfront Hotel and entered. Hi, Sergeant. Looking for somebody? Yes, I am. Two men. One tall with heavy black hair and the other stocky with red hair. Both of them bearded. Sorry, don't have anybody staying here that answers the descriptions you just gave. Sure is that? Mm-hmm, positive. Oh, what do you want them for? Thanks, robbery. Oh, I heard about that robbery last night. Seems to me you're wasting your time hunting for those cooks here in town, Sergeant. They'll probably mid-out for some faraway place. I believe they're in town. Right here in this hotel. Whatever gave you that idea, Sergeant? My dog went along in that corridor. What is it, King? Wait a minute, Sergeant. I told you those men you weren't on here. You had no right to... I failed into this room. I'll complain to headquarters the way you come in here. Stand back and be quiet and allow you're lucky to talk yourself into real trouble. Open in the name of the law! I reckon nobody's in. I'll see. Wait, what are you... Oh, room's vacant. Woo-hoo! I reckon they're out right now. And then in this room we've been here for two weeks straight through. Really? Oh, baggies here.  Hey, they must have taken the carpet bag with them. I didn't see them go out. They didn't pass today.  You know the men who were here are the Kirkstein Hunting. I ought to take you in for questioning. No, no, please, Sergeant. Well, I did sort of lie a little, but I just didn't want to have trouble in the hotel. They must have slipped out the back door. We'll find out. Come on, King. This way, boy. The back door. Woo-hoo! I understand, eh, King? All right, we'll pick up their tails from there. Sergeant Preston went quickly to the front of the hotel and mounted his horse. Then he followed King who was heading for the dock. Great Dog on Arringley went to the dock where the fishing boat had been moored. As Preston approached, a boat whistle sounded. He saw the big fishing boat heading away from the dock. Oh, baggies. Woo-hoo! Both too far around. I'm sure those coats are on it, boy. Woo-hoo! Never mind. We'll get them yet. Come on, King. Sergeant Preston mounted Blackie in the constable's office a short distance up the street. The constable joins Sergeant Preston and then the two mouties and the dogs set out along the river trail. Being time, in the cabin aboard the fishing boat, Jerry and Bross, the two crooks, were talking to the skipper and his wife, Flora. I will be putting in a fair land in the sea. That's where you'll get off and wait for the next river packet to the state. That's right. What's this all about, anyway? Are you boys accepting something that's against the law? That's none of your business, Flora. You know, well, if you think I'm going to let these two get into trouble, you're crazy. I don't like all this monkey business. Ah, stop yapping. You're talking me into letting you stale on this taller with me and you've been talking ever since. You don't even give me a chance to think anymore. Yes. Someday you'll sit in a jail cell with plenty of chance to think if you don't watch out who you take on this boat. Look, why aren't you going really big at the wheel a while? You might as well run the boat as you think you do. I've been taking the wheel a while. It is better than sitting here looking at these two large jumpers.  They paid for coming aboard. We sure did. Two hundred and gold. And gold, huh? Right. I thought you'd probably store it someplace. Neither one of you would try to work a claim. Look, you'd better beat it before we get store, Flora.  When I have something to say, I'd say it regardless. I'll go release Jake at the wheel now. We've paid two hundred and gold. All right. As Flora stepped on deck, she walked slowly toward the wheelhouse. She casually scanned the shoreline.  Right. Looks like a busy wolf running along the shore trail. I wonder if there are a couple of horsemen following that on the moat. I've been here a month. I see the red cool. There must be cool in somebody. I'll send back to tell you there are a couple of mommies riding the shore trail. What? The right opposite the boat on the starboard side. What are the mommies you're saying? You think they're wise and we're on this boat? I knew you two were up to something. Get up and get out of the way. I told you to button your list, Flora. There's none of your business. Flora's right, I can tell you that. Wait. There's a big dog. Well, those mommies must be shocking pressure. That means he knows we're aboard here. He can't stop a bear landing now, fellas. You've got to figure some way to get off this boat, too, before we get into trouble. Hey, don't be local. How are we going to get off? We're over the port side and swim to the opposite shore. You're crazy. You must be joking. Look, like Flora said, I'm not joking at all.  This gun says you both go over this side and swim for it.  No, no, no. Hey, take it easy, Skipper. Put up a gun. Anyhow, I can't swim. I don't intend to. Oh, my leg! Oh, my god! Get his gun. That was quick-taken, Harry. Just my husband. Oh!  We're running as cold now. We'll all get inside. Help the Skipper and Flora, and then you stay there. Let's go. We'll continue our adventure in just a moment. Have you been wishing you could actually see Sergeant Preston in action, see him riding his big black horse wreck, capturing lawbreakers with the help of his courageous dog, Yukon King? And when winter comes, would you like to actually see the terrifying avalanches and snow slides in the coldest country in the north? Actually see a pack of huskies pulling a dog sled over endless snowdrifts. Well, listen to this. Sergeant Preston of Yukon goes on television next week.  And will be brought to you on a coast-to-coast TV network starting next Thursday, September 29th, by all the Quaker serials. Quaker Puff, Wheat and Rice, Quaker Oats and Mother's Oats, Muffet Treaded Wheat, and Quaker Pack O'Ten. Now did you get that date? Write it down. It's next Thursday evening, September 29th, the premiere of Sergeant Preston of the Yukon on television. It's something new and different in television for the whole family. Check your newspaper for the time, and the station's nearest to you. Now to continue. The few mouties on the shore have seen the figures at the boat rails. They'd heard both the shot and Flora's cry for help. What do we do, Sergeant? Let's hurry ahead to that point of land. The boat should pass close to the point. I may be able to find some way to get aboard. Let's hurry. Come on, Flora, get up for it. The two crooks, Jerry and Brock, had forced Flora into the cabin. And the wounded skipper was put onto a bump. I told you not to trust those crooks, didn't I? Oh, just think that bandaging keeps quiet, Flora. Hey, wait a minute, Brock. You notice something? Right. The boat has changed course. Huh? It seems to be moving toward shore. Hey, that's right, Jerry. Those four of them have gotten to take over the wheel, then head for the opposite shore and put into the first place you've come to. We've got to shake off those mouties, not the way to do it. Keep going now. Oh, right away. A few minutes later, Brock appeared in the doorway of the small wheelhouse with a gun in his hand. All right, you. What's that? I'm taking over in here. So you two were causing the trouble aboard. Is that it? Stop stalling. Bring the boat back in the midstream. Then I'll take over. All right. You aren't going to do anything. The man at the wheel made a sudden lunge toward Brock. Hey, I'll... That's my shoulder. I'll fix you for that. Brock, having dropped his gun, fought curiously to hold off the fishermen so he could pick up the weapons. Meanwhile, Preston and the constable had pulled to a stop on the point at this moutie. Hold on. Hold on. I heard another shot there. Yes. Look at the boat now, heading right to this point. Two minutes fighting in the wheelhouse. A couple of minutes to board to run aground here. We'll get aboard when it does. Come on, we'll get as close as we can. Come along, King. Oh! Two mouties crouched behind some boulders near the water's edge. With guns ready, waited for the boat to run aground. They watched as the boat drew nearer and could plainly see the struggle going on in the wheelhouse. A moment later, the boat crashed against the bank. All right, let's get aboard. Come on, King. Oh! As the two mouties leaped from the shore to the bow of the boat, Gary appeared in the doorway of the cabin with his gun. Hey, look out, Sergeant. That man in the cabin doorway. All right, send him inside. Head to those men in the wheelhouse and cover them, Constable. King, I'll go to the cabin. Right. Let's go, King. Oh, oh, oh! Pressing himself close to the wall of the superstructure, Preston slowly made his way toward the cabin door, with King moving alongside him. Inside the cabin, Flora moved toward a sea jet, while Gary was busy at the doorway. The crook turned just as she opened it and covered it with his gun. Hey, what are you after? Get away from that jet. Oh, that's pretty good to wreck your boat. If I get my hands on a gun... Get back there beside the skipper and stay there. Go on. Quickly, Gary went to the sea jet and took out a gun. Just as he straightened up, Sergeant Preston appeared in the doorway. Preston dropped those gun, and he had secured him out of the... Hold it! Oh, my arm! I'll get his gun, Sergeant. Careful, don't walk between them. Come here, you... The Sergeant's warning came too late. Flora momentarily shielded the wounded crook from the mouties. Gary quickly picked up one of his guns and placed it against Flora's back. All right, mouties. If you don't want me to shoot the woman and move into the cabin and stand to the side now... Hurry!  All right, Flora. Stand right there. Now drop your gun, Mountie. Preston paused the moment. Then, seeing the great dog King slinking along the cabin wall in Gary's direction, he remarked, All right, you have the upper hand. There it is. Good. Now, Flora, you get over there beside the Mountie. Gary didn't notice the big husky as he moved closer. Suddenly, King sprang from one side with a deep growl, slapping Gary's arm. Take him away! All right, King. Don't worry. Watch him. I'll take his guns. All right. Just a minute. I'll show him his head. All right, get inside. There he is. All right. He's the two fighting in the wheelhouse. Now that big guy is one of my men. The other one's a crook. He's a crook cause all the trouble. He's not my husband because we objected to having him above. Yeah. He pays me to carry him on this trip, but I got to fit it. I see. We'll tie them and fix their wounds and we'll take these two back to Stalker and put them behind bars. I can hear the camera bag containing the stolen gold. Good. That's the evidence we need. We'll ask you to in the name of the crown for armed robbery. Yeah, it's gonna cost me plenty to fix my bolts. Maybe that'll teach you to be more careful who you take aboard after this. We can make a pair so it's to get us to bear landings. I would not be where alive. But it hadn't been for these Mounties and that dog. That darn mutt queen is everywhere. Good. Didn't do you a bit of good time to get away on this boat. I said we'd have trouble because you two crooks and I was rough. Now we got to wreck both.  The sergeant have been married to you. He might have looked the other way when Jerry threatened to shoot you. I wouldn't think of doing such a thing, Skipper. Hmm. Wonder just how he meant that. I can guess.  Well, let's go, Constable. I'll be glad to get these crooks to jail and play those cases for us. Who will? Sergeant Preston will return in just a moment with a word about our next exciting adventure. The thrilling new radio adventures of Rin Tin Tin take place in the post Civil War era of the 1870s when the old West was truly wild, the most dangerous territory in America. Indian tribes made hostile by the white man's westward expansion and the invasion of their traditional hunting grounds hunting grounds, made life particularly uneasy in Fort Apache, a military post deep in Indian country. This, then, is the setting of Radio's Rintin-Tin series, where the famous dog hero is ten-year-old master Rusty and their appointed guardian, Lieutenant Riftmasters, find that frontier life is far from monotonous. You won't want to miss the stories of this wonder dog, famous for generations. Youngsters love Rintin-Tin, and the grown-ups will also enjoy the thrilling adventures of a boy and his dog. Be sure to listen every Sunday afternoon over most of Mutual's 573 stations across the country. Now here he is, Sergeant Preston. Sergeant Preston reporting for duty, Inspector. Sergeant, have you ever heard of Solitair Jackson? Why, yes, sir. He's an American who recently finished a prison term in the state. Understand he came to the UConn to get the man offended. Apparently, that's not the only reason he came here. A man answering his description is just Rob the Express Office. He shot the constable on guard. I want you to find Jackson, Sergeant. Bring him in. Right, sir. Let's go, King. Solitair Jackson has a dangerous reputation, but why should he rob the Express Office if his real motive is to get revenge on the man who framed him? Perhaps there's more to this case than the inspector realizes. More mystery, more criminals involved, and more danger for Sergeant Preston. Be sure to hear this next exciting adventure.

Welcome to Untitled Goose Game! I just recorded the first part of this game, but then I realized, well hey, I wasn't recording. Whoopsies. Daisy's.  I'm going to start a new save because again, like I just said, I already started recording, but here we are. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. Ah, double click to run. Look at his little... listen. Ha ha, I love the sound of a goose foot. I love the sound of a goose foot. Control the pen forwards. Come on, go into the log. Oh yes. Oh yes, pick up that boot. Ah, and we'll bring it around town. We'll bring it anywhere we want to go. Pick up the ball, Goose. Yes, we'll play ball. Let's play ball, your Babe Ruth. Babe Goose. We've got to open the fence here. Come on. Oh yes, oh lovely, lovely, lovely. Open that door right on up. We're the Goose. We have no laws. Goose can do whatever they want. Goose, Goose, Goose, Goose, Goose. They can do anything that their heart desires. No laws. Entitled Goose Game by House House. Great stuff here guys. Great stuff, look at this Goose. Ah, I hear that. We have things to do.

This goose is going to have a party. Hold S to zoom in. Ah. Am I about to get the groundskeeper wet? I don't think that's getting the groundskeeper wet. Where's the groundskeeper? Oh, hello. I'm just a goose. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.


The T2 Tile project is building an indefinitely scalable computational stack. Follow our progress here on T Tuesday updates. Hey folks, it's been two weeks, our top stories. The T2 Tile project has reached 500 subscribers, it only took less than two years. I guess it's mostly been kind of slow and steady, and for sort of this level of pretty esoteric material, I'll take it. Thank you folks for checking it out when you drop in and see what's happening, and unfortunately I never have as much to show you as I would like. For example, so it's been the Wall of Science, it's been the A-Life 2020 Now Virtual Conference, its final deadline was May 1st, it's almost two weeks ago now, submitting down to the wire May 1st at 11.59pm, and okay, I submitted a paper, and you know, like I'm not supposed to talk about it until it gets published or it gets presented or something like that, so this is the title, Best Effort Computing with Spots and Spatial Threads, and it's pretty fun. I think it's got some pretty good potential actually. So we'll talk about that a little bit later. I guess what we know now is that after everything with the two-week delay and then the month delay on top of that, I still only managed to write two pages, so it's an extended abstract, it's actually really a teeny little paper crammed into two pages. This year they let you have your citations spill over onto a third page, so but these two pages are pretty tight. And I was submitting it down until four o'clock in the morning on May 2nd, the day after it was done. So I've got a pile of papers now that I'm going to be reviewing for other submissions and so forth, I've got to get on that, but that's the state of the wall of science. The other, well one of the other major things that's been going on for the last two weeks is pushing on the native engine, you know, remember that my original idea was we've had the simulator MFMS that has been running for years, and I imagine since the T2 tiles that were actually running these things on our little Linux boxes and MFMS was designed for Linux that we would just run MFMS on Linux, I'm sorry, on the tiles and it would be easy and we would get very compatible behavior between them. And that turned out really not to be true. The assumptions were different enough between the simulator which had to simulate a whole bunch of tiles and it did all of those multiple tiles all inside a single global random access memory and then used, you know, memory to memory communications to exchange data between the simulated tiles and the actual T2 tile where it's just simulating, it's just being one tile and the actual communication is not in memory but actually goes out, bits through wires, electrical voltages, wiggling and so forth. So as of a month or so ago now, I said, well, hell with it, we're just going to start over, we're going to build a new code base and then start pulling in bits from the old bit once we have it clear that we're making this thing exactly the way the T2 tile wants it, not the way we guessed the simulator wanted it five years ago or more now. So it's going well. So there's a lot of code being built up. I'll show you a few little pictures of it, but at the moment it's really not too exciting yet. So I always hope to have more progress, but this is where we are now. Mostly it's been about, as I've mentioned before, putting in stubs for bits, more bits of code and then getting the thing running well enough so that the next stub blows up, incomplete code, incomplete code, check circuit availability, incomplete code and get visible wrecked, incomplete code and just keep chasing the incomplete code, pushing it down, pushing it down and being able to see how the thing starts to come alive. The program starts to behave, it starts to act and then bam, it hits the export that doesn't exist is cash valid and so forth. Start getting a little punchy working on this stuff as much as I have.  You just up and then bam, we have custom state handlers. So the, a lot of progress on that. Here's a picture. The whole thing, the T2 native engine is built around a priority queue, a time based queue that just pulls off the next thing, the nearest thing that wants to go, although in fact, if you look closely here, so you can see several things in fact have expired, meaning they're now actually in the past, but we haven't gotten around to pulling them off the queue yet. So ITC and W intertile connector Northwest, that's one of the six intertile connector processes that's working independently that they all have representation on the queue. The, the, the analog to digital computers, converters, they're sampled off of the time queue. The EWs, EWs down here, those are the event windows. Right now, they're just all stuck in active in it. So they're not actually doing anything. Where is it down here? Oh yeah, the EW initiator, that's whole purpose of that process is just to keep starting event windows, tossing them out, letting them take however long they take, and they have multiple steps on the priority queue, on the time queue, as they get packaged packets back and forth from the neighbors and they make their way through. They finish, they commit their changes get sent to the actual detail memory, and then the event window gets retired. So it can be EW initiated again, and so forth. All of this is feeling very solid and seems to be working really well. It's just the things that get released to the intertile connectors that need to talk to each other and the event windows that need to actually do the events, the transitions are just at the limited, most limited stages. But nonetheless, we got here.  This is a thing right here. That that's a drag. That's a dynamic regulator. It's not a real one. It's not the one written in ULAM or SPLAT. It's a hard coded one that's developed just for the native engine, because getting it converted to actually pull in the ULAM code and so forth is going to be a whole nother stage after we get the precision locking and the event window, parallel event windows, the event window pipeline all working. So here it is, our first little drag. Has it moved yet? No. I put it up in the corner because that has different consequences. We have to consider whether neighbors might be interested in what happens up there when it was in the middle we didn't have to care. After working on this thing for 10 days, I was excited to see first drag. So that's where it's at. Now, I've mentioned before that I have worries about how these things are going to look both in the light because they really aren't very bright. The displays aren't very bright and they have a very limited viewing angle. So if you're looking at a whole panel of these things and some of them are way over there and some of them are way over here, the worry is, is that you won't even be able to see it from a single position. That's not necessarily so bad if you're actually at a physical display and you can kind of wander around and see things. But if we're trying to capture this with a camera, which we are, then it's a bigger problem. So I discovered that WaveShare, which are the folks that made the original version of the displays that I have here, have one that uses an IPS panel and it's advertised. Its main thing is it has a big viewing angle, 160 degree viewing angle and that is pretty tempting. So I'm going to order one or two of these just to try it out because I think it's almost a drop in replacement for the ones I'm using. So we'll get a few, we'll see what they look like. They are three times the price or more of the ones I already have. So we'll see how we do here. But starting to think down the road, it's going to come. It's going to come pretty soon that we're going to be looking at a bunch of these and we want to see them. And in that space also, I've been looking at cameras.  In principle, you might be able to recover specific say, oh, that's a drag. How do you know based on the color? I found these FLIR cameras. FLIR is the people who are now famous because they do all the thermal, the temperature probe stuff. So all these cameras that are supposed to be detecting whether people have COVID-19 because they have fevers and stuff. A lot of that is FLIR. But they also have sort of these industrial cameras for like scanning and machine learning for detecting the good potato chips from the bad potato chips on the assembly line. And so these, the Grasshopper Flea, the Oryx, I don't know, these range from like 600 to $6,000. And that's before you get a lens for them and so forth. So they're not cheap, but it seems like they might actually be the way to go. I need to learn a lot more about that. I need to find someone who can teach me about that. That would be the best. So that's the state of the native engine and looking down the road towards collecting data off of the entire grid. Nine power zones, each with 16 tiles, all going at once. That's our target. All right, and then the other major business that happened today in the last two weeks was advancing the story on the Living Computation Foundation. And a lot of that was paperwork. So in order to become a tax-exempt non-profit charitable organization, you have to file, well, you have to file one of a number of forms. We had to file 1023EZ, that was the easy one, streamlined application for it. If you were gonna have more than $50,000 annual receipts per year, annual receipts, then no, you can't do the easy one. Well, I don't think we're gonna have $50,000 a year, so we're gonna go ahead and do it. We filled this thing out. The instructions, only 23 pages for the instructions, including all of these incredibly complicated worksheets that all assume you can look at your previous years, your previous end years, or how much you made. But when you're doing it from where we are just starting, you have to kind of guess and make predictions. So that's what we did. And we got through it, we got a little advice from our lawyer about what these various things meant, and we got it done. And we paid $275 to file the form. And so that's where we're at. We haven't heard back yet. I don't know whether this takes about a month or something to get approved. We'll find out that went in May 5th, May 6th, something like that. So we'll see back once we're in actual tax exempt, official charitable foundation. That means that we can actually buy stuff and not pay federal taxes for it, which is good in state taxes usually. We have to file extra paperwork for that. But perhaps more important, people who are considering donating a chunk of money can take a tax deduction for their gift to us. So that would be great as well. That's where that is going. And so now we've got the website updated. Let's take a look at it. So here it is. It's the same thing, whoops, the same thing that we saw before. I keep forgetting this is actually real. But it actually has a PayPal donate button on it now. And one can actually click on it. And it will, I think, yeah. You can donate $5, $10, $25, whatever you want. And so I cooked up this little scheme, this little offer for the early bird nerds. This is us. And here it's described on the new contribute page. Ways to support the Living Computation Foundation. Why would you want to do that? Who knows? Well, why would you want to be watching these videos? Cause you get it. The 500, the 100, the 150, whoever you are that actually watch the videos. So the foundation's brand new. I tried to think of a lot of different ways, not just money that one could support it. And really, I feel okay. That the best thing that people can do, the easiest thing from some point of view is to talk about it. If you get it, if you get indefinite scalability, if you get robust first, best effort, talk about it. We gotta make people expect better from computing. If you're a hacker, you know, we've got folks that are working on Oolong code and Splat stuff. It's fantastic. I appreciate it so much. But now there is this possibility of financial support. And there's this careful note that we filed the application, but the application hasn't been approved.  But if you're in a position that you want to donate five bucks or more then in exchange, we have this great perk, this great swag, you can get your own exclusive living computation foundation nerd number that each one, where is it? These exquisite finest quality numbers are made from crisp and pure it's starting from 10. And then each is individually Lexing coded for long lasting robustness. So the Lexing coded form of 10 is 210. The next one's 211, 212 and so forth.  And that's it, you know, it's just a number. It's a number for us. So last I looked, three donations have come in. So the first three numbers are gone. All the rest are available. I'm sure the 200 series, which will last, probably last quite some time, but we'll see. If you want to join us, if you've got five bucks. Thank you, that would be cool. Nerd number is not transferable, but they're good in perpetuity for nerd cred bragging rights and nothing else. There you go, FOMO. All right, and so that's where we're at. Yeah, that's it. The next update will be in two weeks, which is gonna be the end of May. And I bet, I really bet that the native engine is gonna be cranking at, you know, intertile stuff. I'm really open for it. We'll see, stay safe, have a good two weeks. Hope to see you next time.


This year there is a loaded ballad of potential new fees which aim to change campus life for various communities. I will be speaking with the primary proponents of the referenda in order to further understand the purpose behind these fees. I'm Perla Shaheen and this is CalTV News. Why do you think that students should take money out of their pocket to support this fee referendum? Well primarily to solve an institutional gap there's a problem here on a campus where students are who are dependent on financial aid aren't able to get the resource they need and that just creates additional hindrances when it comes to finding housing. What the housing referendum does is it provides a very real manageable and efficient resource for students who are housing insecure. I know that it's a long process to even get a fee referendum on the ballot. Could you tell me why you decided to do this? This referendum was really necessary for ASUC and also for students in general on campus. The main reason why this referendum was proposed was because of the financial restraint that ASUC is experiencing due to the inflation that has been going on for the past decade and the whole purpose of ASUC is to fund student groups and this referendum would definitely alleviate the financial restraint that we have and increase our ability to fund those student groups for the coming years. I decided to go through that because of how important the referendum is and the communities it will exist to serve which is EJCE, a cluster of the MSC offices, the MCC and the Gender Equity Resource Center and the community, which is why it's named the Big Z referendum, the big community referendum, the communities that these centers create among students who feel underrepresented and don't find community in other spaces on campus. And so as one of those students, it was incredibly important to me that these centers receive funding and are able to stay at capacity. So I went through with putting on the ballot. So why are you so passionate about these three underrepresented groups on campus? So I'm really passionate about these centers and the services they provide because I personally benefited from the African-American Student Development Center's Black So, which really introduced me to resources on campus as a transfer center, transfer student coming in, who is also underrepresented. Will this be creating dorms just for freshmen or will it be creating housing for more students? So this will primarily providing resources to the entire campus, graduate students, undergraduate students, but specifically because those need more supply than more demand than supply. We're going to be prioritizing students who are traditionally underrepresented or marginalized. So undocumented students, student parents, formerly incarcerated students, those will generally be at the tip of this. But in the largest kind of things, it's going to impact everyone because we're going to have more hands on deck in the financial aid office. And voting is from April 10th to the 12th. So make sure to get your ballot in and have your voice heard.
