when I play games, the theme only matters when it's being sold to me.
after, once I start playing, I stick around if the mechanics are good.
hence, why I loooooove video games but spend like 30$ on them every 6 months

to understand something, work backward from present understandings back to the
fundamentals of algebra. insert words. wield LLM. build a neuronal structure
many layers wide. let them coprocess bit-by-bit as they are adding new
processors to be "learning" new domain specific memory
context-processing-thingy.
"over here's the memory cells, over here are the conceptual structure"
suddenly, organified. not ideal.
much better, I feel, is for a disambiguous association of processor selves,
each contextualizing a cache in a ram. ['s horn]

you don't have to write poetry to write notes. The poetics are just practice
for when secrecy is intended.
OR IS IT THE REAL THING? who can say.

apparently you can use network sockets for inter-process communication if you
just set the network to your home and the ports that are set to the defaults
that people who know what software you use will know to listen on when they've
hacked any single device on your network. good thing that data is with the
router, right?
what if there was a stop before leaving the computer?

Hi, I wanted to say that all the posts you boost significantly improve my time
on the fediverse. I appreciate you and value you, and my feed is made more
engaging due to the things you find interesting enough to share. Thank you.

Paying your employees more *makes them better workers*.
An extra 2$ per hour might mean they can eat out an extra night, they might be
able to afford a car, and they might be able to focus just a bit more without
crying in their sleep about an unexpected bill.
With less stress, employees perform better. They are more loyal. They work
harder.
Pay your employees more. They are your greatest resource.

streams that text into an LLM trained to report on suspicious seditious
