All I want for my mobile computing is the ability to use the interface of
android to access resources and perform tasks that are relevant to my primary
computer. Like, a mainframe with the phone as a terminal. Except instead of
text, it's buttons and sliders and all the things that mobile UI experts have
spent so much time carefully crafting.

"but... why?"
portable linux with buttons, great for pick-up-games or communication, can
throw several in them in a backpack if you want clustered cooperation, they
work as radios (if the signal reaches) and can transmit text (if you use a
radial-style keyboard)
[this is all just a pitch for... something, what, you want something? ha

why would I want other people using my computer? They don't know how to use my
computer! They might break something or mess something up or automatically
read/edit my files that are stored in standard locations through the usage of
a script which automagically scans and ransomwares machines on the internet
who store their files in specific standardized locations! no thank you.

highly, highly recommend having a smart phone and a dumb phone at the same
time. The smart phone can be wi-fi only so you don't have to pay for it,
just... have it around in-case you need it. Use it for things like playing
Magic Survival or messaging from bed, but use your flip phone for all the
phone-related activities like calls and texts.

The difference between front-end and back-end programming is whether or not

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.

there's this programming language I like called Chapel for distributed

networking security I believe often has hardware solutions, so getting the

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.

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.

encrypted, etc etc)

I found this:

and this:

but I'm missing a big gap - specifically, how to move from syntax to

If you look at the modern state of machine learning and AI and can only think
of:chatbotssingularity god-mind AI that solves all our problems
then either you haven't worked with the technology or you are not applying
your imagination as you could.
AI is not a smartphone. It is not the internet. It is not the printing press.
AI (as it currently exists) is a special kind of "if" statement that you only
use for very specific, non-performance intensive tasks that require judgement
or reasoning and cannot easily be translated into numbers or booleans. These
situations are rare, but they unlock new possibilities for the programmers,
not their marketers.
If an LLM can't run on a laptop, then it is useless.

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.

If I destroyed the world, don't worry. I'd bring it back in such a way that
the teleporter problem doesn't apply, and there would be no discontinuity for
anything except for the time variable, which is sort of arbitrary anyway.
And if that's a problem I guess I could find a way to do it without messing
with the time variable, but that'd be a bit more bothersome.

at this point in time you probably shouldn't be forming NEW online communities
unless you're part of an OLD community that just isn't radical enough. And
then you should try and MERGE communities into larger, more geographically
concentrated ones.

collectively owned housing is just people deciding who lives in which housing.
don't you trust your friendly queer realtor?
collectively doesn't have to mean completely silo-ed and isolated. you should
have access to ALL higher communities at any time that you want. Scheduling is
a disaster, but you can get through it. just... build a schedule for every
single person on earth and suddenly nobody has freedom unless they put "doin'
what I want" on their moment-to-moment card

one important thing about image generation algorithms like Stable Diffusion is
they can reveal something about our hearts.
all data derived from the masses is naturally inclined to reflect the
affections of it's kind. Otherwise it'd be unstable, and find itself it's own
ways to not fail, including moving somewhere it feels safer.

everyone's all against ai because it's big tech but it doesn't have to be that
big it can be [minimized but pronounced marginalized]

so I think the idea is that by the time you would use AI, there's been enough
time to rewrite the software to work on handheld laptops in a distributed way
and we'd vote on what to ask the amphora of great knowledge, the answer could
always be 42.

Can someone explain to me why we need instances on the fediverse? Why don't we
just keep all our personal files local on our computer and communicate over
the federated protocol? What's the point of having all these mini-servers that
are controlled by the community? I mean, torrenting has been around forever,
why don't we just use that to communicate?

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
