I am completely ok with this. Let the mainstream have their thing and keep mastodon weird. Right now it’s got a usenet/bbs vibe and I love it. That goes away as the mainstream/tide comes in.

weird is an odd way to spell brutalist ux.

It’s been so long I sometimes forget why I left. Thanks for the reminder.

Yeah I feel like people have turned the definition of AGI into what we previously called omnipotence.

Aww yes the fiction of no friction: the funnel back to blub. The way is no way.

Getting on mastodon, specifically functional.cafe absolutely reminds me of “the old internet”/bbs era. That is to say it has been delightfully nerdy! (activity pub needs to figure out support for door games though)

That is my point though: the notion of one plant refuting another is absurd if they both still thrive. Likewise the underpinnings of how LLMs work does not refute the conceptual framework of universal grammar. Especially as refutation means

Thank you! It is like arguing that a human engaging in the creation of a landscape portrait using the traditional method of oil painting has been "refuted" by a computer generating vector graphics from statistical descriptions of

This is really cool! Super exciting to see how far hoot has come!

No one asked but the MacIvory genera world could also interoperate with HyperCard.

This is such a tired trope. Scheme, CL and clojure all have people building incredible things with them. Not to mention things like Cisco buying the company behind chez scheme. Ask yourself why. Ask yourself why nubank bought cognitect. Con

The true killer feature of lisp is s-expressions and the structural editing affordances they provide. “If I can’t slurp and barf, I don’t want to be part of your revolution.” ~Emma Goldman(ish)

Yep I nonsarcastically think we need to go back to what we lost with the BBS. Mastodon is a step in this direction but EVERYONE should be an instance.

Interesting but my goto question of "define an fexpr in lisp 1.5 in m-expression syntax" did not yield success. It gave me something in s-expression calling itself and fexpr but not actually declaring it. If it can't get 1958

do you need 3 people to do a choreographed emacs key chord? I guess it could finally make peer programming necessary.

Do any of the authors of these models disclose a clear list of codebases/discussion sites these models are trained on? Are they at the least avoiding stuff clearly GNU (or such) licensed? Is the hope that there is just no way to figure

yo that is awesome!

This is awesome! The other works on the main page are also inspiring. Almost makes me believe in color again (I am a monochromist).

Call me a monochromatic maximalist but 1 bit graphics is all we ever needed. What good has color done us? Smash the spectacle reject the hue!

What I could see happening is a cult forming around an AGI and doing their bidding.

yeah I thought by paying the 20 I would have API access but sadly this is not the case thus the web interface.

Heh bear in mind they limit how much you can use gpt4 before telling you to wait for 2 hours. Right when my plot for a 4th LOTR book called “Redemption of Sauron” was getting good. Honestly the best use of gpt that I have come up with.

Very interesting the title on here drops the "YOUR" from the statement as it is sort of the whole point of the article.

woah - you are correct. I am on MacOS and it is antialiased in chrome but looks great and pixeltastic in safari! Hopefully just a css incantation or something?

I remember having to send an email to the admin of sourceforge for permission to have a project and thus CVS access. "Please sir may I contribute to open source?"

by shaunxcode 4y ago
fair, maybe they will release a non-aliased version?
