 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
 thank you, not for me, no thanks, not what I'd like.

 Coding superpower:
 
 Start thread 
 While(true):
 Run();
 
 Then, whenever you want it to run something else, change the function pointer
 that run() uses to call a function
 
 At the end of the run() function, set the function pointer in the while loop
 to the next one. That way you don't stack overflow from the recursion.

 what if all the AI advancements they're doing are just them building more
 hardware infrastructure in datacenters and not actually improving the software
 that much
wouldn't that be neat I think it would because it means once they collapse under the weight of their own ambitions that hardware's gotta go somewhere and knowing them they're probably going to ship it to south-east asia to be "recycled" (read: burnt with the metals salvaged) instead of selling them second hand because you know they can't really justify the business expense of selling stuff like that and besides what if some driver or something on the firmware was proprietary do you really want to pay techs to wipe every single thing off of them and plus who's gonna categorize and sort them according to their form and function that's just extra payroll and listen the company's not doing so hot anyway I mean we're literally shutting down but yeah sure we'll find a way to justify spending all that non-existent dosh so some hippies can feel better with their servers they didn't build or justify with their profit-producing capitalist enterprise that we've built with our own two hands well really the hands of everyone else but like, they're not actually doing the building the REAL work of course happens in board rooms like this one where we spend MINUTES and HOURS sometimes discussing how to get things in order and aligned to both of our goals because that's the REAL work that has to happen in order for stuff to get done, you know it's true yeah I thought so anyway what are you doing after this meeting wanna get lunch it's almost quitting time at 2pm

 @user-1074 
 
 if you'd like I can give you a lua script which will take your fediverse
 archive and turn it into a pdf which you can edit or print or whatever. Might
 be a fun diversion from posting. You can reply to yourself, add
 clarifications, change some things, put things in a new light, add context,
 etc... before you know it you'll have something printable. Could even pull out
 your best stuff and make zines.
 
 should require just a little configuration to suit your setup. That's part of
 how I stay "productive" without posting all the time.

 this is the simplest implementation of scalable anarchism I could think of.
 tell me how it's flawed so I can improve it before I need it.
algorism is a political and economic philosophy designed to wrest power from those who may be corrupted by it, and restore dignity and agency to all of humanity.  It accomplishes this through several layers of abstraction, of votes, of control, of decisions. What do people need? How could we improve? Is there something more we could do?  The idea is to negate bureaucracy by accomplishing goals in an ad-hoc fashion rather than rely on legalism for institutional execution. Projects, not operations.  Society shall be organized into tiers of rotating peers chosen by vote. Each tier sends their top two most voted for up a level to the next tier of organization. the duty of each tier is to provide for the needs and accomplish the demands of each of their lower tier allies. In addition they should provide what they can to their representatives, who offer them on the tier above.  If a need or demand cannot be met by the team of reps, the request is passed upward. This process can be accomplished with paper and pencil, but it's much better to automate and be public.  If desired, there is a queue system to help with the allocation of resources. This system rewards patience and conservation while still allowing for rapid acquisition. Pick two: good, cheap, fast.  It includes also a recycling system - the more you give back in clean and working order, the greater the options available to you.  It is a system of distribution, not control.

 I think every law or policy should be required to be labelled as "short term"
 or "long term"
 
 the short term ones are meant to gather information, to try things out, and to
 reassess after stated conditions have been met. Ideally with protections
 against "infinite loops" - a term that any programmer will know.
 
 The long term legislation is something that can be relied on for quite a
 while. If there is enough momentum, then an alternative can be created, but
 the original must remain operational. The alternative must be "short term",
 and if it's deemed successful and does not harm the long-term it's
 contrasting, then sure yeah go ahead implement both.

 you could mark like, 3-7 as places you'd like to put a particular message.
 Then it would just... do it

 them into semantic pyramids which we could sorta use to estimate [tree-like
 scanning] how and why the program did do wrong.

 I love this a lot! I want to put function pointers in a "matrix architecture

 then point at N, A, Y or something.

 The difference between front-end and back-end programming is whether or not
 you want to design abstractions or use them. Backend is all about creating

 them together in a way that suits the user. Front end is collage, back end is
 pencil drawing.

 The best way to program computers is to organize them according to their
 relations. Like, when x increases by 4 then y increases by 2 - basically, a
 math equation that you can continuously solve by calculating more and more
 comprehensively and deeply.

 my understanding is, if someone wanted to create something like that, they
 should start with writing protocols instead of standards, much the same way
 Activitypub or HTTP are protocols for a free and open internet.

 So you're telling me the speed difference between Python and C is due not to
 the logic that the programmer uses, but rather the optimization capabilities
 of the compiler?
 
 (An interpreter includes a compiler, it just runs it in a loop rather than a
 single pass)

 do it in a random color each time! Here's my implementation for viewing txt
 files colorfully:
some bash computer code which first picks a random color, and if the color is a bad combination (like, black front and black back, meaning you can't see the lines of the letters) then it redoes it and tries to pick a better one randomly. It'll keep trying until it gets a correct combination but honestly there's only like one or two bad ones that don't look so great

 @user-195 parallel is when two programs run simultaneously, like two parallel
 lines (threads) that never touch.
 
 concurrent is when the two lines are split up into chunks and the program
 switches between them - like this: -----_----
 
 enter alternate universe
 
 parallel is when two programs operate on the same axis - usually time - and
 never interfere with each other. the OS will switch between them as
 appropriate to make sure they never intersect. Sorta like this: -----_----
 
 concurrent is when two programs are executed simultaneously, primarily
 constituting computation correlated with collective contents of coordinated
 collaboration between contextually related coroutines.
 
 It's simple, even a beginner could figure it out.

 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 love programming!! Currently working on learning decentralized and GPU
 oriented computing. It's lots of fun! Plus Bash is a great language, it's not
 funky or hacky at all. Just a great language. Haha suuuuch a great thing to
 play with.
 
 But GPUs are legitimately cool, aside from Bash's purported funkiness /
 hackiness. You can do all kinds of cool things at scale that just don't make
 sense up close.

 Steps to make a game waterfall style:
 
 Lay out all the data structures 
 
 Build methods which manipulate those structures (think getters and setters)
 
 Then build machinery which operates upon those structures using those methods,
 like game loops, cooldown timers, and status effects
 
 Then develop a way to present it to the player using UIs, visuals and
 graphics, narratives, sound, all that junk that's probably someone else's job
 anyway

 in my resource manager
 
 like... that feels like a virus, but I'm on Linux, so what do I know right?
 it's probably not somebody deleting all my art. or perhaps just selective

 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
 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 gods don't judge you based on the total number of "good" or "bad" points
 that you get.
 
 they judge you based on your character in your greatest and worst moments.
 
 if you try to dodge or game this by never doing anything extreme and simply
 existing in a medium state at all times, they will develop a moment of
 reckoning for you and thus produce an opportunity to react and show your true

 in dominions, it'd be nice if we could set up permanent loops of commander
 operations. Like, "move to this province, drop off units, move back, pick up
 units there, then move to this province, etc"
 
 think, factorio or spacechem. A more procedural generation of narrative events.
 something that is more aligned to the fantasy because it's a story that takes
 place across generations, as no religion's going to woo the world overnight.
 
 it's gotta start somewhere.

 This was the first bash script I ever wrote.
 
 It's been updated a little, it was a bash alias first, but this is what it
 looks like now.
 
 Kinda shows what kinds of problems I needed to solve most.
A bash script that plays a random episode of Adventure Time from a terminal.

 you could read in every line in Lua and if it matched the format that the
 times for the subtitles are in, then you could += 5 seconds or whatever and
 save the document. .srt is just a textfile right?

 okay just to clarify: if anyone is recording me or storing data about me, I
