Jeremy KahnKinda love that they cite previous work doing the same thing at a different conference
@trochee There’s a lot of funny detail in there. I think my favourite is in the theorem where they say “… and let P and R denote other symbols.”

Patrick Johanneson 🚀 🇨🇦@mdreid Wait, you can run Linux on a Game Boy Advance™ [sic]?
Condorito@pjohanneson @mdreid I was maintaining right up until Arch on a GBA fucking sent me.

Thats the one thing which surprised me too. I very much doubt being able to run current linux kernel on hardware with that little amount of memory and that limited set of CPU instructions.
Wish we could have a discussion about this with the original author.

Emile Snyder@basisbit @pjohanneson @mdreid looks like you can: note the sign to the right inviting one to contact [email protected] to collaborate :)
Rev. GothAlice@basisbit @pjohanneson @mdreid I haven't Linux'd in a while, but is it not still incredibly modular? I was always able to pair it down shockingly well. Back in the day, Emacs-as-init boot floppies still worked.
All you need is a kernel and Emacs.
Really.
Emacs is browser, Emacs is IRC, Emacs is e-mail, Emacs is love, Emacs is life. 🤪
@pjohanneson @basisbit @mdreid Yeah, I actually Vim extensively. I wanted to see if things could be simplified down to a system that is /only/ a kernel + Emacs.
And I could. It was kinda mind-blowing, and proved the "yo dawg, I heard you like operating systems so I put an operating system to operate in your operating system so you can operate a system while your system operates" joke.

Jernej Simončič �@pjohanneson @alice @basisbit @mdreid GBA only has 256 kB RAM, so there's no way to fit Linux in there (OTOH, it might be possible to include extra RAM in a cartridge).

I wouldn't be surprised if it actually was possible, considering it runs on an ARM processor. Also, it really is Advance, not Advanced.

@mdreid
Maya@phi1997 @mdreid @pjohanneson It would require a custom RAM expansion Game Pak and some kernel hacking to support RAM access through the 8-bit bus, and even then it would only be maybe possible to get a MMU-less build of the Linux kernel running.
Someone tried making a uCLinux port a decade ago, but as far as I know never got it fully running.

J@mdreid Reminds me of the people who just go in and hang their work at museums without asking permission (and it stays there for weeks or months at a time) ... you really have to admire it.

It's funny because it's true!! (And for sure not just in fine art.)

T Kennedy@mdreid what does FedEx have to do with it?
Roadskater, Ph.D.@magnusrobotfighter @mdreid They printed the poster at a FedEx store somewhere near hotel and/or conference hall?
penguin42@roadskater @magnusrobotfighter @mdreid Oh that's what confused me - here I only think of FedEx as shipping/delivery - never printing.
Rob Landley@penguin42 @roadskater @magnusrobotfighter @mdreid They bought Kinkos a couple decades back, and eventually renamed it FedEx office because keeping the name Kinkos made it too easy to remember what they did.
(They're still Kinkos in Japan, because Japanese businesses like to have customers.)
Infinite Buffalo@penguin42 @roadskater @magnusrobotfighter @mdreid
About 20 years ago, FedEx bought the copy shop chain Kinko's, and starting about 15 years ago gradually renamed them "Fedex Office", to great consternation and resistance—some people still call it Kinko's.
(Also, while they run many hotel and convention center 'business centers', I'm not sure they have locations outside the US, even now.)

Wolfgang Müller (DE:er/EN:he)@mdreid Deep posters as future work:-D

Pekka Mäkinen@mdreid When I attended my first conference...counting the years...in 1989, there was a one French guy who had found a cardboard box on the street, stomped it flat (you could still see his dusty shoe prints on the box) and wrote his poster on the cardboard. And it was on display at the same time as my poster, for which I had prepared for weeks.
@PTM I know the feeling. One of the best “posters” I’ve seen at a conference was also by a French researcher. He stood up an empty, poster-sized blackboard and proceeded to summarise all the main results in his paper when the poster session started. In became an impromptu interactive lecture as the crowd that formed around him started to ask questions and for more details.
Martin Howitt@mdreid I kept zooming in on the right to see if it was posters all the way down
dr elmyra@mdreid perfect, no notes
noodle@mdreid I want to see this future work. Imagining someone trying to take the poster down only to discover it os posters all the way down.
Panic In The Darkroom@mdreid they run arch, by the way.

Katylou@mdreid I love this so much! From someone who has managed hundreds of conference posters
Jack the Frosted Count@mdreid I love that they did the math demonstrating the Free Lunch Theorem. Even threw in a graph.
FrayJay@mdreid it is beautiful. Love the recursive figure ;)
Mycotropic@mdreid
Figure 1; this poster.
I've actually done this as well, I overslept and failed to make my session at American Diabetes Association so I hung the poster in an empty space in a different session, took questions and everything!
If sessions are moderated someone might notice but in unmoderated sessions nobody will. Heck if your topic fits a session and you acted like you were supposed to be there the moderators would probably just go with it! I wouldn't check with the org anyway!

jakalopes@mdreid better designed than some other posters i've seen tbh

Omar Lizardo@mdreid the authors are underselling their work. The joke definitely has a lot of layers. Some of them hidden

Dr. Heather Etchevers@mdreid did they get it, or at least a mention?
