Firestorm 2034 (Minor Works)

This land knows not how to worship in Spirit and in truth. It is an interest. It is a hobby. Is there anything else you see? I was shocked when I saw that people here do not do this. When an artist carves a statue in my land, he is not just working on a statue; he is making an offering to God, and his carving is a prayer. He carves the back as well as the front, working on a place whose fullness he may never see, because he is not making something for himself or other men, as much as making a prayer to God, who sees the back of the statue as easily as the front.

Here, on the web, people do not do that. They think in terms of making a creation for other people. They do not try for completeness; they want — I do not know the words. God is only in the compartment called religion; he is not big enough to make virtual reality for — only other people who will not take the site very seriously is that important for. Taberah has difficulties with language when he is concentrating most intensely.

She understood the meaning, if the words sometimes eluded her. In my land, people wear clothing for custom and for decoration; being without clothing is not much. Here, clothing is for decency a polite way to put it ; there are chaste people and there are nude people, but there are not chaste, nude people.

You need to cover your bodies, but even more you need to cover God, because you are ashamed of other people seeing them. But these arguments have a very different meaning than yours; they were for adornment, and not for shame. You speak of justifying belief, as if it needed justification, as if it were shameful if it were not covered by an argument.

Your way of looking seems to me a silly limitation that causes a lot of lust, but chaste nudity is not important. It is not one of the great things in life. But about clothing symbolically, I will argue much. You — I am sorry, I should be able to produce more examples. But there are many ways where you do not know how to worship in Spirit and in truth. I have a feeling of being held under a microscope.

It is everything before the Middle Ages, or medieval period. It gave us the apex of paganism, and philosophy, and writing. They saw monasteries, cathedrals, castles, monks, clergy, knights in shining armor, lords and vassals and fealty, chivalry, peasants and feudalism, illuminated manuscripts…. There was a rebirth of art and learning from classical, that is ancient, times, and the monk Martin Luther nailed theses for reform to the door of Wittenburg Cathedral, and chaos broke loose.

The Baroque time saw a flowering of complexity in art and music; aah! It reached its climax in the Enlightenment, with people worshiping the mind and reason, and the bloodbath that followed. Then came Romanticism and Victorianism, one of them a following of emotional sensitivity that often included libertinism, the other managing to be morbidly prudish.

After that, came postmodernism, the era that we are in. People have given up the quest for truth, and there has been an increase in fragmentation — Taberah, I just saw a light go on in your eyes. What era are you from? Can you tell me how to get to the Middle Ages? There are some things about you that are like the Middle Ages, but the Middle Ages are a period of time in the past. And I think you might be as well. You belong to an age of faith, and you are a lord. It has already happened. Taberah would have normally backed off by this point, but there was something inside him that made him certain.

You cannot bring back the past any more than you can make your self younger. It is before the moment now, but it still belongs to the time we are a part of. Aed remembered how, in school, when he read about different times, there was something he could identify with in a great many of them. Maybe we could talk about this later? Maybe you can play something for us after supper? Taberah looked at Aed and relaxed; it was only then that Aed realized how intently Taberah had been listening.

Taberah stopped and looked up. I need to think. Maybe you can take one of the trails in the forest.

If there is a word-space , Taberah thought, a space in which words exist and can be mapped out into closer and farther words, then there may be a thought-space, one in which thoughts can be mapped out. As he passed by, one of them dropped it, and the children started arguing. If there is a thought-space , his thoughts continued, then thoughts may be mapped out as paths in that space.

Some thoughts can be mapped out from existing classics, and then new paths can be forged like old ones. Taberah entered the forest, although he was not aware of it. He felt almost dizzy; he was excited, and so intent in concentration that he lost all awareness of his surroundings. The core idea for a computer to think is to construct a space of units of thought, measured by a metric arising from that for words — or perhaps similar; words can be sorted out by comparing histograms of words that appear before and after; a self-refining measure might compare thoughts that come before and after.

A space can have trails worn in it by existing classics, as a forest develops paths from many people walking through it; the thought-space is then navigable by starting at one point and randomly picking from among the paths that lead out from it. This is how a computer can think.

Firestorm - C. J. S. Hayward - Google Книги

He used one of the methods from his own research to take a given metric space and put points into a vector space, so that a position could be described by a list of numbers: The actual method used was more complex, taking shortcuts so as to run more quickly, but the core idea was simple.

A model of a car made of springs would find its shape as soon as you took your foot off it. Aed expected it possible to make much more sophisticated measures, but to start off with he used a parser to diagram sentences, trim the sentences to subject, verb, and object, and strung together the lists of numbers to make a vector space with more dimensions. Aed realized that philosophy would probably be easier material for a computer to think about than something concrete; there was less opportunity to bump into the oddities of sense data and the external world. He the program through the philosophical classics online, and then waited to see what its first output would be:.

I think, therefore I am. From this may be deduced any number of things. It is clear that the gods are dead. There is nothing but the gods. You, me, everything are the gods. This godlike character is unto the likeness of God. Each of the gods is a facet of God.

God is, and because he is he thinks. Reason is the ordering principle of the universe. I say this because reason gives us what other times sought in God. The output went on for some length, and Taberah was crestfallen. It takes time to get all the bugs out. We are not logical; we hear what a person says, and know what they mean. You should be proud of yourself. Dinner was over before they realized it; Taberah unwrapped his cookie, put it in his mouth before anyone could stop him, started chewing, stopped, and then spat out a piece of paper.

People will not enter a building if a Feng Shui practitioner was not consulted about where to lay its foundations. Clancy was looking at his fortune. The expression on his face was slowly turning to disgust. Taberah had been thinking throughout the day, although not about computers. Are even the miracles different? What are miracles like here? But I have never seen a miracle. He recalled with a chill the words of the Gospel, where some manuscripts said that Jesus did not, and others that he could not do many miracles in one town, and was amazed at their lack of faith.

Aed had a queer feeling that —. It is my loss that I have not seen any miracles, that they do not happen when I pray. But I would like for you to see the forces that shape my culture, and are why I have never seen a miracle. Taberah slept lightly that night; he felt both puzzlement and expectation, wondering what manner of strange sight Aed would show him.

My name is Nabal, and this first meeting usually draws a large crowd — usually from hecklers who believe that what we are saying is false, but somehow never manage to prove it. The speaker reached into his backpack, and drew out a pliers, a sheet of paper, and a cigarette lighter. If there is anyone among you who has any kind of faith or magic, let him stop it from burning. I am a senior with a double major in physics and mathematics. The speaker did not reply to this comment. Taberah was trying to think of something to say, but he was at a loss for words.

The speaker tried to ignite the paper; the lighter sparked several times, but produced no flame. Does anyone have other lighters? He adjusted the lighter, and struck it again. A large yellow flame shot out, and began to lick up the side of the paper, to turn orange, to grow stronger, hotter. Nabal turned away from the flame and looked at the eyes around him — some smug, some saddened.

The flame died out, became a thin stream of smoke, vanished. He continued to look, puzzled by the expressions he saw on the gathered faces. Then he looked down, and dropped the pliers in shock. The paper was not burnt to ashes. Aed looked at Taberah, and saw the one face in the room that was not speechless. They were about to acknowledge something supernatural. But do you remember the story of the rich man and Lazarus?

Do you remember how it ended? Lewis wrote that he knew of only one person who had seen a ghost, and she was positive it was a hallucination.

The wind of the Spirit cannot blow where the cracks have been sealed; this age has exerted monumental effort to seal the cracks. You heard them speaking as you left. It is only seeing. Even in the Bible, seeing miracles did not make people believe. I just remembered a joke. The political solution would be God telling people to get along with each other, and the miracle would be people working out an agreement. Taberah listened and laughed. A kind that God only gives, if ever, as a blessing on hard human work. Prayer does not annihilate human roles. Maybe God only chooses to work the greater miracles through humans.

Or rather, lack of awareness of time. There is something more than hurried time. It is people who are drawn to a resurfacing of Gnosticism. Whether it is ancient Gnostics, or contemporary New Age, or medieval Knights of Cathare, it — what is on your face, Taberah? It is so sad. Is New Age the same heresy? The same attempt that has been weighed in the balance and found wanting. The witch had exacted a terrible price from the mermaid — she would have legs, lovely legs, but she would never be quite like the humans around her.

Every step she took would be on sharp knives. In a flash of intuition she saw that the knives never left Taberah. He would always walk on sharp knives. I want to show you something.

Only faith can guarantee the blessings that we hope for, or prove the existence of realities that are unseen. It is for their faith that our ancestors are acknowledged. It is by faith that we understand that the ages were created by a word from God, so that from the invisible the visible world came to be. It was because of his faith that Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain, and for that he was acknowledged as upright when God himself made acknowledgment of his offerings. Though he is dead, he still speaks by faith. It was because of his faith that Enoch was taken up and did not experience death: Now it is impossible to please God without faith, since anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and rewards those who seek him.

It was through his faith that Noah, when he had been warned by God of something that had never been seen before, took care to build an ark to save his family. His faith was a judgement on the world, and he was able to claim the uprightness which comes from faith. It was by faith that Abraham obeyed the call to set out for a country that was the inheritance given to him and his descendants, and that he set out without knowing where he was going.

By faith he sojourned in the Promised Land as though it were not his, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.

He looked forward to the well-founded city, designed and built by God. It was equally by faith that Sarah, in spite of being past the age, was made able to conceive, because she believed that he who had made the promise was faithful to it. Because of this, there came from one man, and one who already had the mark of death on him, descendants as numerous as the stars of heaven and the grains of sand on the seashore which cannot be counted.

All these died in faith, before receiving any of the things that had been promised, but they saw them in the far distance and welcomed them, recognizing that they were only strangers and nomads on earth. People who use such terms about themselves make it quite plain that they are in search of a homeland. If they had meant the country they came from, they would have had the opportunity to return to it, but in fact they were longing for a better homeland, their heavenly homeland. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God, since he has founded the city for them.

It was by faith that Abraham, when put to the test, offered up Isaac. He offered to sacrifice his only son even though he had yet to receive what had been promised, and he had been told: Isaac is the one through whom your name will be carried on. He was confident that God had the power to raise the dead, and so, figuratively speaking, he was given back Isaac from the dead.

It was by faith that this same Isaac gave his blessing to Jacob and Esau for the still distant future. It was by faith that, when he was about to die, Joseph mentioned the Exodus of the Israelites and gave instructions about his own remains. It was by faith that Moses, when he was born, was kept hidden by his parents for three months; because they saw that he was a fine child, they were not afraid of the royal edict. He considered that the humiliations offered to the Anointed were something more precious than all the treasures of Egypt, because he had his eyes fixed on the reward.

It was by faith that he kept the Passover and sprinkled the blood to prevent the Destroyer from touching any of their first-born sons. It was by faith that they crossed the Red Sea as easily as dry land, while the Egyptians, trying to do the same, were drowned. It was through faith that the walls of Jericho fell down when the people had marched round them for seven days.

It was by faith that Rahab the prostitute welcomed the spies and so was not killed with the unbelievers. What more shall I say? There is not time for me to give an account of Gideon, Barak, Sampson, Jephthah, or of David, Samuel and the prophets. These were men who through faith conquered kingdoms, did what was upright and earned the promises. They were weak people who were given strength to be brave in war and drive back foreign invaders. Some others submitted to torture, refusing release so that they would rise again to a better life. Some had to bear being pilloried and flogged, or even chained up in prison.

They were stoned, or sawn in half, or killed by the sword; they were homeless, and wore only the skins of sheep and goats; they were in want and hardship, and maltreated. They were too good for the world and they wandered in desert and mountains and in caves and ravines. These all won acknowledgement through their faith, but they did not receive what was promised, since God had made provision for us to have something better, and they were not to reach perfection except with us.

Heaven is home, and you have less of a temporary home than most people do. It hurts to have an earthly home taken away, but the healing of the hurt is not in finding another earthly home, but in finding a heavenly home — and once you have let Heaven be your home, you may find pieces of it on earth.

Firestorm New Features and Improvements

Only God can fill it. They began to walk along the path, Taberah stopping and thinking every so often, but saying nothing. This continued for five minutes, fifteen, thirty, an hour — and Fiona began tapping her toes. Taberah stopped, and Fiona sat down on a log and began drumming her fingers. Fiona began to realize something. She decided to try not to drum her fingers, or pace, or tap her foot, but just sit. It turned out to be harder than it sounded. That time is fickle; it seems to speed up and slow down. The first lesson in medieval time is to let go of it. Taberah walked a bit further, stopping a few times, and Fiona still caught herself fidgeting — but she began to catch herself completely relaxed at times.

Fiona wondered when he would finally speak, and then was surprised when he broke the silence — was he done thinking already? It is not so much time as a foretaste of eternity. Specifically, log as LLSingleton captures inter-Singleton dependencies. Also log cleanupAll calls to cleanupSingleton and deleteAll calls to deleteSingleton , since they happen in an implicitly-determined order.

But do not log anything during the implicit LLSingletonBase: That's too late in the run; even std: Add a tag to LLSingleton log messages. Automated merge with file: Also add logdebugs and oktolog helper functions. Introduce a private helper class LLCoros: The trouble with that is that llcoro: Make LLSingleton's 'initializing' stack coro-specific. Move the initializing stack from function-static storage to LLSingletonBase: Make it a map keyed by llcoro: Each coro then has a stack of its own.

Until we reimplement LLCoros on Boost. Fiber, we must hand-implement coroutine-local data. That presently takes the form of a map keyed on llcoro: But since the viewer launches an open-ended number of coroutines, we could end up with an open-ended number of map entries unless we intentionally prune the map. So every time we pop the stack to empty, remove that map entry. This could result in thrashing, a given coroutine's 'initializing' stack being created and deleted for almost every LLSingleton instantiated by that coroutine — but the number of different LLSingletons is necessarily static, and the lifespan of each is the entire rest of the process.

Even a couple dozen LLSingletons won't thrash that badly. A shocking number of LLSingleton subclasses had public constructors — and in several instances, were being explicitly instantiated independently of the LLSingleton machinery. This breaks the new LLSingleton dependency-tracking machinery. Where destructors are declared, move them into private section as well. Where the constructor was inline but nontrivial, move out of class body.

Firestorm 2034: The Anthology (Major Works)

LLGridManager declared a variant constructor accepting const std: As there is no evidence of this being called from anywhere, delete it. As the LLSD parameter wasn't used, and as there is no evidence of it being passed from anywhere, delete the parameter. Fix a couple new LLGlobalEconomy: Try workaround for dubious llcorehttp mem usage test. Give up on running mem test twice: Disable unrealistic failing checks on GetMemTotal. Somewhat oddly, that appears to have caused Linux link errors even in llmath.

Fix at least this problem. LLWinDebug has empty constructor. This didn't become apparent until we got past the other Windows build issues and attempted to link the viewer itself.

Skip the whole of the failing llcorehttp test function. Try even harder to ignore errors in llcorehttp's dummy server. Revamp testrunner to shutdown server Thread at end. Instead of having testrunner. This API change allows run to also call shutdown on the server instance when done, and then join the Thread.

While at it, eliminate calls to testrunner. Fix a couple variable references in debugging output. But since the real problem is quite different, try with that suspected test restored. Diagnostic prints to identify hangup changeset: Apparently some Windows hosts still need freeport.
