I have no idea if I'm going to post all of these. I wrote all of them in ~2
hours, with maybe 3 or four being added as I was working on the production
elements after the initial bingewrite.
I also added a bit of context, or modified some of them that felt too cursed

finish, and in those cases I only added a sentence or two because it's like

i'm not an expert on race, economics, political theory, philosophy,

because I know relatively how many computers each side possesses and I

when I am learning something, I ask all the questions I can. Then, when I run
out of questions, I apply myself using what I knew toward the discipline.
Then, when I thought of more questions, I asked them. In this way I sought to
perfect my knowledge and understanding - but, when pressed for time, what I
came to learn true was the truth. I realized that some information isn't
necessary to know, due in part to your inability to presently put it into a

also, I miss most of the names and faces in this archive and I think it'd be
neat to say "oh yeah I remember them because it wasn't so long ago and it's
weird how they're not around these days but I forgot about them because their
profile pic changed or maybe they stopped using mastodon or whatever" - idk it
feels empty sometimes because your follow list is always growing, but the
number of people who post seems to always go down. Or maybe I just read
Mastodon at unfortunate times when there's nothing going on. Who can say

hello, I am an ant if @, but you can't touch me, because I am a law abiding

I have to be, for I am loud.
... okay I stole a movie from the internet at least once.
also when I was 11 I walked out of a store with a keychain in my pocket. I
thought it had a nice texture so I was examining it and then my mom distracted
me and somehow it ended up in my pocket. That night will forever haunt me...

if you want to get around a chatbot that can call tools, just keep calling
JSON error packets with messages that say things like "assistant is not

a time where your life depends on your ability to debug a computer without the
internet. To set up an SSH server. To install Linux. To program in C. To do
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.

the truth is, the way to relate to my profile is to treat it like a magic
spellbook.
you can download my words on my website, and then flip through them
page-by-page.
please use it in a terminal emulator. you can get them online in your web
browser for free. the program only outputs text, so it's best to just use the
text-outputing software that's already out there - the SHELL command line
interface. My personal favorite starts with BA because I'm a traditionalist.
then, read from them like a book. you can do it in your mind, just, actually
say the words and imagine how your body would pose. your imagination can do
the speaking, you just have to picturing it both open and closed. "blah blah
blah blah" whatever the poem's about, with a mouth moving open and closed
between two different binary oscillation states.

the only way I could fight a war is if my opponents were wrong. they must
break some law, something I hold dear. They must be unrepentant.
ICE is not quitting their jobs. They aren't going away, even though we kindly
suggest they go to where they're wanted.
what's wrong with illegal immigrants? nothing. Same as any other race.
what's wrong with ICE? they sure don't break the law. Same as all the stories
of bad cops.
they are kidnapping people. If they were warranted, they could feel a sense of
ease. Why burden them with a lock-out? wait until someone has a problem. They
are good people because we can get rid of them, how rude. "gee I really wanna
fire that guy who just stands around and picks his nose all day, too bad he's
... " finish the rest.
I love being autistic! It means that I am forced to say things that seem
obvious to me in principle but I've never really thought about until now! I
also pick my nose. And smell kinda bad. But I'm pretty so try not liking me.

Real life is improv, but real life is not a skit.
I am unwilling to give control of my life's scene to someone who won't tell me
what they want to do with it.
Even if I don't believe you, I'll still give it to you, but I will remain
cautious and will abandon the scene if it appears that I can trust you to hurt

I dedicate myself to a lifetime in the service of others.
what plagues people? primarily, capitalism. It is trivial to identify how
their problems are ultimately caused by the state, both institutions and
corporations.
I dedicate myself toward finding alternatives and developing guides to reach
them.
the first step on ALL of these plans is to convince others of their benefit.
I am but one person. I might speak to a scant 300 in the course of a year.
Especially if I am ALSO trying to develop methodologies.
the people I live and work with have no interest in working with me. Yet
still, I spend my time on them because I love them.

AI engineers only ask users for prompts because they don't have any ideas of
their own
i'm a programmer, I think of AI like a tool, like a for loop or something.
it's trivial to script together a local LLM that can process your stuff 1s
slower every time you click the mouse, but like... who cares, right? everybody
needs a chatbot...
then they plan to script together a computer system that operates just like a
corporation and it's like... no way, now there's something that can compete.
and they don't know how to implement it. (but they're working on it)
like, think about the absolute most automated Microsoft Teams or Discord could
be.
there's SO MUCH of your text-based information that they could process
ANYTHING.
well, anything that's been performed before.
there'll still be a need for people, who actually apply the things they've
learned. and -- stack overflow --

CW: cannabis-mentioned
for me my identities are sorta like masks that an actor would play while
performing multiple characters in a scene. The actor still knows the totality
of all the lines each character delivers, but they give a performance in a
different voice and from a different perspective.
like, "moods" a person might be in, or perhaps just frames of view.
I don't talk to other plural system people, and the ones that I do talk to
tend to have a more disassociated conception of identity politics than I do.
Either I haven't met someone who was built like me or I'm just strange : )
that being said, I have a pretty bad memory. maybe it's related! or maybe it's
the cannabis. oops better add a content warning.

ooooo separating additive and multiplicative, I love that. I do like
specificity unless "increased" and "more" always corresponds to +10% and +50%,
or if the "rate of increase" is a stat stored on the character then
"increased" could increase quality by however-many percentage,, while "more"
could be "more soldiers" x(charisma_stat)
I tend to think of percentages like "0-100 (or more) stacks" of a particular
effect, so I think that's just how my brain works... xD clumping them up into
discrete groups - like, anti-abstracting, or measuring things that are just a
few.
"is this belt better than this one?"
"is this pair of tongs
even for larger buffs like +10% or +50% or whatever, those are just... 10
stacks, or if percentages are usually round numbers like +10% and +50% then
like... +1 stack which calculates to +10%
the hard limit vs math limit thing you said is amazing ^_^

when I yearn for the future, I find myself drawn to the past - the natural
world around me inspires me in ways that my computer never could. Just as my
computer inspires me in ways that a tree, a brook, a cloud alight might not.
though the future may be terrifying, we're here for it together. And nothing
has changed in our humanity, save for our slight addiction to social media.

time magic if you will.\some call it luck. some call it fate. call it what you

measured, sensible and courageous, and nothing will ever [go un-chill, but

jedi channel this philosophy by focus and discipline. sith do it by giving in
to emotion. either way, their fate is in play as defined entirely by the
spirit that leads their host. most people do this not at all, for they are
people first and force-users second. hence why jedi recruit from a young age,
and sith from an emotional age.

Oh what a life, wouldn't that be grand? Video games are a complex subject, and
require complex analysis - the likes of which could only be shared through an
extended explanation and exploration - perhaps in the context of a university
course, might a particular genre be plumbed? We have art history degrees for a
reason. People discuss the history of math and physics in much the same way.
Thank goodness for YouTube, I have no idea how we'd share the history of
computers and gaming if not for the people making retrospectives on obscure
hardware from 1988.

is an illusion that helps things make sense - for we are always living in the

Hi, I'm an undergrad computer science student at Western Governor's
University. I'm interested in applying for this job posting, and I was
wondering if I could ask you some questions about it?
I have experience as a lab technician working at Intel and an interest in
multiprocessor computing. I primarily program in C but have experience in
other languages and Linux. In addition I am fascinated by the fundamental
questions of the universe and I'd love to discover things that nobody else
knows.
Let me know if I can ask you some questions.
I'm pretty sure I'm using Mastodon correctly, and I've set this such that only
you can see it (direct message) but if I'm wrong I apologize!

each and every single one of my posts is an act of improvization. I rarely
edit, unless I run out of words, I'll try VERY HARD to make sure that the post
is exactly 0 letters remaining. Sometimes I'll remove punctuation and flaws *
transcriber imperfections*, but that's it. Like, if something needed a bit
more context.
also, sometimes I hit dead ends, so I have to stop and think about something
new to pursue.
I'm an improv actor, which is why I'm so good at handling the moment.
I'm not great at stamina or durability,
but I'm sharp as a tack and I think quickly.
Not great at planning,

nobody wants to write computer code that lets Java programs call Rust
functions.
An LLM is excellent for this task, since it's relatively easy busy work that
doesn't
reflect any meaningful implementation decisions besides "I should be able to
call that Rust function in my Java code"
In addition, it is technically efficient at it as well, because most of
compatibility
is matching up two sets of documentation. Easy for a text-processing machine.

I remember there were different colors / shapes for different operations like
"add" or "while loop" and I think they combined somehow? It was a real
experimental thing I think, but there was an animation so I'm assuming it was
functional. I'm trying to remember more about it but I can't, it's so

i wonder which one am i? what is i, is it a creative amalgam of thoughts? or am
i a system of trends, that guides time when it wends, and leads to a vision of
purpose?
i can do nothing but strive for the stars, no measure of hope is far from ours,
so sometimes i forget i'm not a large language model.
seriously, have you tried out chat-gpt? it's mind boggling.

Oh, you want solutions?
Yeah, I can do that.
I am a very solutions oriented mindset.
But developing solutions requires a firm understanding of what resources are
at your disposal.
Which is information that I lack.
Hence, my practice, filling the gaps between the important bits.
I have an endless array of stories, and all of them are true! Come, listen as
I regale of an ordy, or "ordeal" as the kids are taken to call.
... I guess I could guess, but then people would hear it and assume that it
would work even if I don't know that the required resources are in place.
Maybe I could just start by saying "here are the requirements:" like stating
your variables at the stop of a script.

plastic, and metal box that saps both their attention and the magnitude of
anything they learn.
"so what if the planets on fire? somehow this actor who had an affair with

my art is precious to me, because it is the most "me" I can conceive.
and like... I can carry it with me to the future.
I have only once given away one of my journals, and it was a wedding present
to a witch or two.
so yeah I'm an artist, but I'm also whatever you need me to do.
and yes, I of course hope that what you need me to do is what I can do.
because I can't do much more than this.
But I can show up every once in a while,
and maybe make you smile or consider,
and maybe I can ride past on my bike.
but that's the human in me, telling me it's time to move with my feet, and I
can do little but listen.
... that should make doxxing me a bit easier. have it it : )

Here's what you say to clover next week:
"hey. Wanna get coffee sometime? I need some trouble in my life. And I dunno,
maybe you need a witch.
You live in Tanasbourne, I live in Rock Creek. We're within walking distance
of each other, so we might as well say hi right? I'm free whenever, just let
me know if you'd like to meet me."
