 I work with large language models because it's a quick and easy way to turn
 language into meaning. And computers are meaning abstraction machines, so if
 you can speak your language and they hear their language, you can do anything.

 wondering if anyone's ever made a computer that could only run programs
 written in interpreted languages. Like, no binaries allowed. Would probably be
 slower, but if my iphone is good enough for NASA to get to the moon then odds
 are it's good enough for me.

 I love writing installation scripts like this!
 
 If you want to install something on Linux but you have difficulty, talk to me
 and I'll write you a script like this. I might even make it fancier.
 
 This one installs a programming language that is useful for parallel computing
 across multiple clusters of computers which could be useful if you want to
 leverage multiple CPUs and GPUs with ease to compute tasks which are far
 beyond a normal computer.
 
 https://chapel-lang.org/download.html
An installation script for the Chapel programming language.  I don't imagine it'd be very useful to hear the program read out-loud, but if it would be interesting to hear, then feel free to ask.

 So much of computing is just... handling the quirks of hardware and presenting
 it to the user (programmer) in a way that is sane and makes sense, instead of
 the arcane and [nebulous/confabulous/incomprehensible] way that physical
 nature demands our absurdly potentialized computational endeavors be.

 exactly what you're working with but if you want someone to talk to about it
 you can message me.

 teehee online gives you lots of practice!
 
 short conversations can be useful. But they're hardly effective if your goal
 is to change someone else's mind. More casual talk is useful too!

 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

 Those are good points. The C in our hearts is elegant, but the C that runs on
 every computer in the world is spaghetti.
 
 I'm sure someone's made a language that's "C but simple" - Zig maybe? I looked
 into V a while back but got turned off of both of them because neither had
 support for multithreading, which is essential in the modern era.
 
 Also, typedefs for structs make me mad -.-

 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

If you only have arithmetical expressions you can use some properties of arithmetic to compute branching computer code. E.G., if A is either zero or one depending on some previously computed condition, then A times B plus (1-A) times C computes the expression "if A then B else C"

 If your work is organized for mass-market appeal, it means you want everyone
 to read it.
 
 If your work is scattered and distracted, then only the sage would learn from
 it. So speak your mind, and let the words flow forth.

 I like locally hosted LLMs because I can use them to summarize my own writing

two poems written by Ritz Menardi about... a lot of stuff. Here's the AI generated overview:  One way to contribute as a citizen in a country at war is by maintaining essential infrastructure and services. This can include keeping public spaces, like schools and hospitals, operational during times of conflict. Additionally, working on developing technologies that improve the quality of life for people in your community can be beneficial.  Witches, as you mentioned, are an interesting group to study and engage with. They often have a strong sense of ethics and curiosity. By interacting with them and learning from their experiences, you may find new ways to approach problems and make more informed decisions.  Staying conscious and attentive to the present is crucial for understanding complex situations and making effective choices. In times of conflict or crisis, it's essential to be aware of your surroundings and the needs of those around you.  Stories and storytelling are important for societies because they help identify weaknesses and areas for improvement. By engaging with stories from various cultures and time periods, we can gain a broader understanding of human nature and history.  Diversity in expression is one of humanity's greatest strengths, as it allows us to learn and grow together. By embracing different perspectives and experiences, we can create more innovative solutions and better understand the world around us.  [continued on picture 2] [continued from picture 1]  In the spirit of removing ourselves from the biological equation, consider exploring alternative ways of living that minimize our impact on the environment. This could include developing sustainable agriculture practices or investing in renewable energy sources.  Finally, remember the importance of freedom and individuality. By releasing the spirit of Liberty, we can empower people to make their own choices and create a more just and equitable society.  [end alt text]

 Hi, I'm learning about semaphores right now and trying to explain them to a
 friend. But I only sorta understand how they work - can anyone look at this
 pseudocode and tell me if I'm on the right track?
Some C pseudocode working through the semaphore design pattern. Here's the text of the pseudocode:  /* no lock example */  void start_thread(int* x) {   *x += 1; }  int main() {   int x = 0;   for (1000 times){     start_thread(&x);   }   print(x); }  /* in this case you have no idea what will print because thread A will take x and be like "ah yes it's 423" and then in the next instruction it'll be like "I'll increment this to be 424" and in the next one it'll say "okay now it's time to store 424 in the variable X" but like... there's a thousand threads all doing that at the same time, so odds are you'll have 5 that are like "ah yes this is 423 I'll set it to 424" */  /* not a good plan. Need a lock, so only one thread can use it at once. */ /* mutex example: */  void start_thread(int* x, int* x_mutex) {   *x += 1;   *x_mutex = 0; }  int main() {   int x = 0;   int x_mutex = 0;   for (1000 times){     while (x_mutex != 0){ } /* do nothing */     x_mutex = thread_id;     start_thread(&x, &x_mutex);   }   print(x); }  /* this should print 1000, but it's basically as slow as doing it single threaded. */  #define MAX 10  void start_thread(int* x, int* x_semaphore) {   *x += 1;   *x_semaphore += 1; }  int main() {   int x[MAX];   int x_semaphore = MAX;   for (1000 times) {     for (int i = 0; i < MAX; i++) {       x_semaphore -= 1;       start_thread(&x[i], &x_semaphore);     }     while (x_semaphore != MAX) { } /* do nothing */   }   int value = sum(x, MAX);   print(value); }
