Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1
The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.
So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.
So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.
Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.
And the probe is working again.
From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.
But are you absolutely 10000% sure you know what 17776 is?! 🤨
unless there is a secret 17776, then yes. i havent delved deep into the meanings of 17776, so i dont really know it on that front. ive read it thrice, and one of my old teachers used to say you only really know a book until youve read it 3 times, so i know it in that case.
Are you in a more obscure/less popular fandom?
ok reposting this here on my 17776 dedicated blog
i genuinely wanna make like a 17776 version of golf now
like golf but its crazy huge and has weird rules
i might make a computer game for it but thatd like suck to fully develop
maybe ill use google map data to procedurally generate a world
i could also like spend months making a map generator but i dont fell like that jaja
easiest method would be to make like a topdown golf like in 8- and 16-bit games
big golf coming
ok so im putting together a video essay and ive been rereading 17776 and 20020 for it and i just got the best idea
so an online football videogame where each person is a player and yall all got proximity chat and stuff and its like football
like theres a ball and you gotta like run it and get to the goals n shit
but each player is an individual human and the field is really fucking long
there should probably be obstacles too just so you arent running through miles of nothingness
but basically every day you and the GANG have a 1 hour schuduled long football time where you play the football one hour
and then do the same thing next day
idk how many players youd need and get rid of all of the stupid football rules and make it simple n shit so you don't have to really worry about stupid stuff but mainly just runball
but long too
its like 17776 irl
i want it
sorry its late and i cant sleep
oh yeah and if you havent read 17776 or 20020, first, this is american football but actualy euro football would work too. and second, READ 17776 AND 20020 ITS SO GOOD
im indulging myself in this cleaner whiteboard style
my main account is @graph100. im using this to talk about 17776 and 20020 because i love it.
