I think maybe the reason is more arbitrary, as here look at this 90s author's symbolism, it's not just the old classics that are readable in-depth; contemporary style etc

until i slowed down

Maybe the poem has a message

What if our todo list/commits/issue tracker could affect the blob and bloat could kill him? no?

This might also see a long shelf life, say, as familiars of fantasy rpgs, as pets from a fictionalized world-building narrative online; I guess it could be so for any LLM in principle, but the basic Sims-like gamification behind a tamagotchi seems like a solid foundation for those usecases.

My own markov chains follow up "until he" with fundamentally distinct follow-ups.

And here I was genuinely under the impression it was about some startup's stack, way these news go, maybe british unicorns are perforce dinosaurs..

If you use it in a utilitarian way it'll give you a run for your money, if you use for expression, such as art, learning to embrace some serendipity, it makes good stuff.

But the tome's weight is borne up by the table, whereas throwing any light in your face will affect your eyes. Possibly dawn and twilight gazing are quite beneficial.

Yes, those bills should be paid out by the state such as happens in developed countries like Brazil.

The author of GEB is a phenomenal writer, an old-style researcher who knew his greek, and the book for me is more interesting in its commentary on literature, and psychology, approaching themes of say, Foucault.

I don't know about the work's true impact on AI or tech languages, but it's a masterpiece of criticism, analysis and penmanship.

Psychology is not inherently treated as soft, it's jusst that its human element attracts intuitive people much more than rational ones. If nore rationally minded people took up the study and research of psychology fields, more hard stuff would come to the front, although soft stuff is hardly behind in intelligence.

No, clearly, AIs do all the work for them.

If really it is to become widespread it means we as society really got completely lost in the fold. It would be an act of defeat of the human element. But the magnates gonna love it.

Potentially.. I'd say absolutely leaking sensitive information.

But octopi is also trying to be pedantically latin, octopodes though it could be pedantic is at least correct, and entirely descriptive. In practice I wouldn't expect someone to say octopi to my face, but writing weird words online is another matter.

I see how AI is used today and extrapolate. A lot. Everything in tech is extrapolation with the march of capital. It takes one to know one; rather it takes a smart ass to wield a smart tool. So the smart get smarter.

Is it a separate phenomenon, in the big picture, from the rich getting richer, from the monopolies over means of production?

Not sure, but I see as well that the dumb will surely get dumber; that "intelligence" will be a product of using intelligent humans' means of production, and not owning them of course, but being owned in the process. Populations will be literally made lighter of their smarts, outsourcing intelligence to agents out of general control (classic bait and switch.) Since AI feel my own process getting more clueless as I go, I'd better conclude somehow.

I see the Age of Ignorance ahead, there was once an Enlightenment, and here light takes on its other side or meaning, the workers being enlightened, to wit, made lighter of their horrible burden which is intelligence and its obnoxious demands of upkeep. Just pay someone for upkeep and stop messing with wet messy neurons already, says the technocrat to the cheerful mob.

Possibly the pagers had to have a popular brand to "work as designed", and this brand was up for sale, but declares it won't admit this to the real customers.

Obviously, physics never creates any math but discovers it, there are no new things under the sun.

I wouldn't consider your months spent on it in any way wasted, even if you have native critics, it's a kind of ad-hoc anthropological resource that you add to the pool of tools available in the web, and on the long run I think it will have a good impact.

Thanks for your review also and yes it's still early days, tons to do but of the fun type. I'll look into Manitoba as I have relatives which may be related to the cultures you mentioned, thank you!

When you say syllabics it reminds me of syllabaries (?) of mesopotamian languages and hieroglyphs, but I guess it's just the terms sounding alike.

Yes it is right up my hacking alley. I'm working too with two-way asymmetric conversions between languages/charsets as noted in this thread. It's interesting to have such a niche tech challenge associated with your ethnic group of languages. In Manitoba are any of those spoken?

Then congrats all the more on this work, I had assumed a motivation from attachment also. As for the tech stacks and langs yeah they're fun, but I meant in how abstract Inuktitut looks, I guess the human language in the loop is the real meat of the problem and of the "working with".

It looks like a great language to work with.

So I have started creating a new keyboard layout based on Dvorak; but more a text generation and expansion engine, with snippets or abbreviations in vim.

Initially also on Emacs as a minor mode, the concept is to write in a shorthand of greek letters, mapped like to a Dvorak distribution, that stand there as a code, as variables or latent values, expanded upon a key combination to one of several languages: German, Hebrew or Yiddish. Text can stay code-mixed indefinitely. The greek letters are a preform, condensed by layers of translation and transliteration, a hybrid con, and the keyboard layout itself, dynamic and not static, is dual: for every greek letter in the layout correpsonds a hebrew letter or diphtong or diacritic mark etc. It is a merge and disambiguation of both Dvorak/Programmer Dvorak and Yiddish Klal.

I really don't know if it may seem useful to someone, but I've been itching writing a bit jargon in a system like this for some weeks.

I'd love to read when it's available or in preview mode! The mental organization I think that develops when writing on a notebook is far worth the trouble of typing it on vim later, especially for fleshing out scenes and redrafting.

Tech companies are not the first concern of civilization at least not insofar as I don't know of any philosophical strain establishing them as kings and overlords.

I think they have it much better than over at faangland

And so prettily rendered with french lyrics!

Also related plug, a newsletter with emacs plugins to help out with, mostly org mode and AI and emacs integration open source tepos.

Maybe Doom Emacs can win me back, I ended up preferring the vim emulation mode in Emacs, evil, over nvim but my dotfiles bitrotted over the long years

Ethiopian culture is as ancient as the bible and rich with ancient wisdom, western music has a limited number of standard modes and oriental music offers a lot of variety there. We go just by greek heritage coupled with african aggregations. You would say a student of raga should be "obsessed" sbout particular ragas to full immerse in them? Also just exploring and hearing non-western music is a marvellous experience if you find the good parts. I'm doing something not so oriental, as I'm learning Chinese rock songs to help language acquisition, and been posting about that[0].

I hope the open source communities can go back to their roots before the bubble crashed first. With the advent of auto code writers we could see a true open source renaissance. I'm trying to publish in this space[0] but I want to reach a better model than slapping sponsors on a newsletter.
