03:05 crtdaydreams http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2026-01-27#1117748 << I've had to remove 3 different wolf spiders the size of my hand over the last month
03:05 dulapbot Logged on 2026-01-27 09:25:13 Vex: worst bit about it is, the spider starts freaking out too
03:06 crtdaydreams one at work today crept up beside me on the floor, called over colleage
03:07 crtdaydreams colleague is squatting taking photo of the little guy, softly tap them on the shoulder mimicking spidey steps
03:07 crtdaydreams you get a big fat "fuck off" when they jump 3 inches off the ground
03:08 crtdaydreams not 10 minutes ago I was having a shower and one of the dicey muthafuckas skiddadles over the outside of the shower curtain
03:09 crtdaydreams they move quick, but the trick is to wear them out a bit and they passivate
03:10 crtdaydreams healthy dose of the ol' shower nozzle for 10-30 sec
03:10 crtdaydreams er one must imagine sisyphus happy
03:11 crtdaydreams they suck at climing bathtubs, that's for sure
03:12 crtdaydreams peanut butter jar works well they'll jump right into it but be quick the lid, try not to squish her

I'd be interested to know where you got that from, from what I can tell LISPIC predated NS by at least a couple years and the early design of NS either reused code or was heavily inspired by LISPIC. Neil Mayle, Howie Shrobe and Chris Terman were heavily involved in
20:45 phf so sure of myself though, very 2018 tmsr. ascii at the time read it as my referencing some other kind of NS, that maybe predates symbolics NS, but i really don't remember such a thing existing.
20:49 phf i have a '82 shrobe paper from some vlsi conference, where he says daedalus is a "graphics editor" "embedded in the DPL/Lisp environment". there's also a paper from '81 that i don't have in front of me (it's another vlsi conference, but the copy of the proceedings are at the office) called "The DPL/Daedalus Design Environment". i'll venture they moved away from the LISPIC nomenclature, which is used in ai-memo 598 from '80
20:51 phf and then there's of course "NS: An Integrated Symbolic Design System" from yet another vlsi conference in '85
20:53 phf i'm pretty sure both exist. or rather i have a copy of NS with ivory schematics. i know someone who had dpl/daedalus running on his cadr emulator. i'll follow up on that, the person in question is taking an extended break from computers

21:19 dulapbot Logged on 2026-01-21 17:09:32 crtdaydreams: but it definitely doesn't seem "safe" in the sense that any app can just start blasting keyboard input to any other app *in theory*
21:21 phf blasting keyboard input can only happen by accident, or as a harmless prank, and for those cases you have BREAK key
