 Neat! I'm assuming you can screw in a little antenna? That's awful cute. Like
 a robot getting eyebrows.
 
 Why do you need two of them, though? Actually screw it that's a dumb question,
 robots can obviously express themselves more clearly if both their eyes are
 professed.
 
 Wait... Why do robots need more than one eye? Because it'd be weird otherwise,
 duh.

 it fails after like 15 or 20 scrapes but I think that's just their scraping
 policy. They don't have a robots.txt file that I could find. So... just run
 it, then come back every 15 to 30 minutes and restart it until you're done.

 LLMs can't do math. Duh. That's like asking an "if check" to do recursion.
 
 What he should have done is had the AI output the requested calculation as
 JSON or something and use a calculator function call with the specified
 arguments instead of trying to memorize every answer. But that requires more
 functionality that has no reason to exist if your only goal is to be a tech
 bro and build up a vacuous product that exists only to be hoovered up by
 Google or Microsoft.
 
 We could build such beautiful things if we just dethroned those giants. They

 do you have a couple hundred dollars burning a hole in your pocket? Well,
 considering this is fedi probably not, but if you did then you should ask
 yourself these two questions:
 
 do I own a drone?
 do I own a 3d printer?
 
 answering yes to both of those means you're set in terms of new, rare, and
 useful technology. most other things have been in production for a long time,
 so there's a bunch of them laying around. Don't worry if you don't have a pair
 of pliers or bicycle tire pump, your neighbor probably has three.
 
 EDIT: I forgot about solar panels and batteries

 side note, but has anyone else gotten emails about "hiring plain-clothes

 the fact that you have to configure your router in order to do any sort of
 web-hosting at all is one of the fundamental reasons why the internet looks so
 lame and corporate.
 
 if anyone could download a program and start a gallery style file-server with
 all their wedding pictures then why the fuck would you need to upload them to
 imgur?
 
 alas, people are too dumb to open ports. plus, every router has a different UI
 design, so it's not like you can write a guide. What happened to making things
 as easy as possible for the user?
 
 "technical limitations" are failures of imagination. we can do better than
 gatekeeping.

 I know you don't want to hear this, but there is a chance that there will come
 a time where your life depends on your ability to debug a computer without the

 something else that I'm not prepared for... If StackOverflow didn't exist
 because network connectivity has been lost, could you remember syntax? Maybe
 it's a good idea to set up a local LLM that can answer basic questions about
 technology. Maybe it's a good idea to set up on your parents computer, just in
 case you have to hide out there for a couple months. Maybe it's a good idea to
 download wikipedia, just in case.

 person has an easier time of it.
 
 unrelated, but today I saw a bald eagle outside my apartment. Well, I'm not
 sure if it was bald but it "KREEEEEE"'d like they do. Plus it had a white head
 and a yellow beak, but I'm not an ornithologist so idk. It perched on a tree
 that I could spy on from my hammock through my binoculars, and I swear it was
 eye-ing my fat juicy cat through the bars of my porch's railing. They have
 excellent vision.
 
 Might be related, we'll see.

 I once wrote that fetishes are wrong because they distract you from making
 families or whatever. That's... okay? it's okay to be wrong? it's okay to be a
 little evil.
 
 it's like rock climbing, bouldering, or adventuring. If you disturb the
 environment, you lose points. Disturbing the environment is evil, but, it's
 okay to do so sometimes.
 
 similarly, fetishes aren't wrong because they disturb the environment. They're
 wrong because they're a deviation from the right and the norm and the
 biological and the natural and *that's okay, because humans are anything but
 natural*. Relish in your stupidity, celebrate your diversity, and contemplate
 the lessons of antiquity. This is the gift that humans possess, the ability to
 be different.

 I need to install? what configuration should I use? is this company ethical,

 this myself?"

 it too much to ask for diapers to be built discrete? Alas, they are fucking

 if you only have a phone, you can still program. Just write it out on paper,
 and put the whole program out on the floor.
 
 Screens will never compare, for they are but a tiny keyhole into the total
 program at hand. And you can pick parts of it up and carry them around - so
 useful! You could make an entire building out of that. [floorplan, layout,
 that kind of thing]
 
 downside is, of course, you don't have a computer, so you have to look up
 syntax on your phone.
 
 and eventually you're gonna have to type it, unless you can get a computer to
 read it for you.
 
 just imagining office buildings where employees can follow along with monitors
 on the wall that explains what they're working on and what they need to resolve
 
 then they meet up with a bunch of other humans and they hash things out
 
 turns out computers are really bad at speaking in group situations.

 Ask your weighting algorithm "which of these two is more [adjective]?" or

 if there's a phone number on something, find someone else who wants it instead
 of calling it. doh. extra degrees of separation.
 
 if you think you know someone who wants something, take it when offered.
 opportunists try and find the most valuable thing, but the truth is they're
 all just as valuable and just as worthless in the right context. something
 that's valuable to you is worthless to me, and something worthless to you is
 valuable to me.

 hey, I'm working on a project. Might need some python, I tend to prefer Lua
 but it's pretty similar. It uses fediverse software and cheap hardware, think
 raspberry pi's except risc-v
 
 also it might use distributed local LLMs not to generate text, that's garbo
 and lame and stupid. Instead it uses them to transform text, maybe even
 translate text, into a more summarized form. Intentionally losing data, like a
 jpeg compression but for text.
 
 Might need some python for that. To glue it all together. The "distributed"
 part is a whitelist, so we'd need to write that too. Various small little
 utilities like that for connectivity.
 
 oh also there's a one-way ethernet cable that connects two of the boards so
 we'd need to store some information (easy) and send some UDP packets (hard)
 
 anyway it's pretty neat, lmk if you want my contact details and I can tell you
 about it. I might even be able to pay you.

 hey if you wanted to be accessible for blind people, you should build a
 screenreader that scans the words on wherever a blind person's fingers are
 pointing toward a tablet. like reading braille on a notebook. They could even
 wear a glove if they wanted to, and the tablet could scan their fingers as
 they signed languaged over it's close-range sensors.
 
 might be a good way to get the VR guys in on the accessibility domain, because

 leave the house to hang out with her kids

 It's not a question of how loud you speak
 
 it's really about what kinds of words you say.
 
 enslavement of speech is when freedom of speech is lost
 
 and it doesn't need to be legislated.
 
 what if you HAD to sound like a bot?
 
 what if they'd notice you otherwise?
 
 freedom from oppression requires personal isolation
 
 that's not making life into art.
 
 if you want to be seen,
 
 put on a hat and hide.
 
 if you want to be believed,
 
 write about down you feel right now.
 
 people are smart. they're infinitely creative. but after a certain point
 there's no way to logically modify the combinations of possible moves you
 might make. essentially, guaranteeing a machine-overlord [cats] type scenario.
 not ideal, but could make it work.
 
 much prefer for we to be the first, then the canvas is ours for the painting.
 
 do you believe we'll find aliens at roughly our tech level?
 
 do you think they'll evolve all at once?
 
 hence, star-wars, and it's galaxy of cohabitators.
 
 the world doesn't have to be old. just similar.

 my problem is figuring out which thoughts are intrusive and which are actually
 mine
 
 I usually err on the side of "would you want your sister to do this" or "how
 would you feel if your mom told you that" or "do you think a cute sweet soft
 cat would ever think such a thing" and that usually works.
 
 usually.

 true, but what is a poem if not a silly construction of phrases? Those words
 don't belong together, what are you doing! And yet it fills you will a feeling
 that the author intended, thus being poetry as a joke.
 
 problem is if everyone says the same joke, it gets kinda... old... hence why
 you should express yourself as much as you can.
 
 I wonder if fewer people are "alternative" these days because they all started
 hanging out on the internet and trying to differentiate themselves amongst
 each other instead of amongst "normal people"? Weird thought, srry haha

 I added a line to my .bashrc that cats out a random one of my notes every time
 I open a terminal.
 
 I keep reading things that I swear I didn't write, but feel right and true to
 me in a way that could only imply that they came fully formed into my eyes
 through the lines on my screen, cast upon the mirror panes of my hard disk
 drive by the pounding of my keyboard as I once upon a time did cast a spell
 upon my future.
 
 It's pretty neat, but it speaks to a shadowed perspective that perhaps is
 neither within nor without.
 
 Side note, I think I've been possessed by a witch. But like... in a consensual

 I don't understand why modern software isn't error correcting. We shouldn't
 have any bugs in this day and age.
 
 For example, if you're missing a dependency then why doesn't your program try
 to, I dunno, download that dependency to the program's installation directory
 and use it there? Seriously there are very few problems that are unsolvable!

 the more you try, the more you have to calculate, which is a problem, because
 endlessly recursive calculations create infinite loops, which frankly are
 impossible to compute because they defy computation! Not good, not ideal, no

 better question: how can we make a better world where people can be weird and
 not starve under the stars?

 vast for their own kind of potential.

 nobody believes we should terraform the universe into a massive collection of
 computationally examining forward thinking thoughts?!?
 
 oh but that's just the beginning, because with this UNPROVEN SCIENCE of mine,
 everything that has been known upto this point - IN ANY CAPACITY - could be
 un-known. We have no way of knowing when the BARENSTEIN BARES swapped
 namesakes. but we do know this: INFINITE CONSUMPTION IS BAD HONESTLY KINDA TBH
 YEAH

 The first and most important thing i do when I'm walking around is check to
 see if ya'll are still around. I miss your abounds! Can't wait too much
 longer. I don't want to leave because i know I'll never come home. But i so
 desperately long for home. It's like they are taken from me, as they have to
 schedule these homes and [stories, but pronounced tomes/tones] to be home for
 my clones. If you just make 15-500 of your kings, you can duplicate their life
 template and generate wisdom from all of them. Feed it into the psychic python
 program running on datacenters and wowee free instant [cultural technology,
 but pronounced blasphemy]

 how many people could your apartment comfortably fit?
 
 I got one desktop
 one laptop desk
 two on the couch
 one in a comfy chair
 one on the bed
 and two outside on the porch
 
 so (1 2 4 5) that's 5 indoors, 6 if they're familiar enough to lounge on my
 bed, and 8 if we're allowed outside.
 
 Could also pull the hammock and chair in from outside but it might get a
 little cozy. Call it 8 or 9 depending on how close we are.

 when you're out in the rain, it's natural to take your clothes off. but then
 they rob you while you're blind (sleeping) or otherwise pre-occupied like by
 being in the rain without any clothes on because it's more comfortable to keep
 your clothes dry inside of doors (cabinets in the wood) (mounted to trees or
 soil or walls) and then you gotta find your own (we keep them in stores)

 yeah. real helpful. how about you fuck off to canada or whatever and give away
 all your possessions. Maybe they'll train you and teach you how to help in
 some way and you can come back later when the time is right.

 among all the others, I want a wonderful and fulfilling life for the
 socialite. they deserve light just as you and I might.
 
 "eat the rich" bruh there's like, 100 people who are running the show.
 everyone else is basically just a syncophant who's trying to get ahead and
 stay working.
 
 then there's like their families and such and like... they didn't do anything
 wrong, they just eat cheese and wine and laugh at memes all day with their
 besties.
 
 they are basically pets

 it doesn't matter what the truth is - they believe what they want.
