 hi does anyone have any good resources on risc-v?
 
 I found this:
 https://dramforever.github.io/easyriscv/#shift-instructions
 
 and this:
 https://projectf.io/posts/riscv-cheat-sheet/
 
 but I'm missing a big gap - specifically, how to move from syntax to
 deployment. I need details on how to implement the software and get it running
 on the actual hardware.

 literally nobody has contributed to the one github repo I have
 
 ever. I got like, one comment from some guy in China or Taiwan. It's been up
 for like, 4 or 5 years and it's on my website. /shrug I guess most people
 bounce off after reading the splash screen /shrug
 
 to me, a FOSS project feels static because I don't believe in centralization
 and I also don't have the bandwidth or need to work on it. /shrug

 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.
 
 (everything open source, no telemetry, no backdoors, everything private is
 encrypted, etc etc)

 throw that all in a directory and point an AI tool at it. Or just do it

 Yes! The ease of use for GPU programming is lovely. Like I said all I need is
 a use-case, I've downloaded as much reference material as I think I'd need to
 be able to hack together something fairly quickly if I needed it. That's all I
 have the mind-space to focus on lately haha

 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.

 you can host anything you'd like on a raspberry pi. If the software
 requirements are within the hardware specs, of course.

 the kind of friendship where you SSH into each other's systems and leave notes
 for one another.
 
 as soon as you find one you message the person who left it like "yoooo only
 just found this lol" and they're like oooo yeah did you see the bash script I
 wrote in that directory "yeah totally I used it on one of my video files just
 now - cool filter!"
 
 ahhhh reminds me of all the times hackers have hacked my permanently insecure
 system and left me friendly messages like "hey I'm on your side" or "how's
 life, friend? I hope it's going well." or "never forget; you are worth all the
 fear" y'know cute things like that
 
 oh. right. because leaving vulnerabilities like that can lead to threat actors
 affecting your stuff. how lame.

 so wait is there any guarantee that the "releases" on github actually have the
 same code as that which is in the repository? Or could they just... put their
 own binary, with it's own strange rules and vulnerabilities, or am I just
 fearmongering?

 there are plenty of pieces of linux that are insecure in some way. Including
 x11, if I remember correctly. It is purely convention to not abuse these
 insecurities, and whenever you use someone else's binary software you trust
 that they won't betray you in some way.
 
 pre-built binaries are privacy violations and should be illegal. They are
 security threats because the model they're built upon is necessarily insecure.
 Computers will never be completely secure because of how they are built, and
 so we should use locally compiled software and interpreted scripts.
 
 Unless they're too long, or impossible to read. Who reads EULAs these days? At
 least those are written in english.
 
 maybe computers aren't worth it. Maybe computers will solve all our problems.
 Who can say, maybe you should ask an oracle like me
 
 though do remember that anything you hear can and will be used against you,
 monkey's paw style. So maybe, like... don't? unless you're into magic or
 schizophrenia or something

 why would you gatekeep content by keeping us from easily using LLMs some
 people aren't technical and still need to write computer programs because
 that's how you enlighten a people is empower them with new tools
 
 "I've never heard of that programming language, but luckily I can fit all of
 it's documentation in my context window."
