@aelaraji I saw the original fine, but your reply (and mine!) show disconnected here. Hmm, "the plot thickens!" :-D Thanks!

@kat toally forgiven, and welcome back! :-) What's new? Tell us all about it!

@aelaraji I am missing the root for this twtxt. What was it? Hmm, referring to https://twtxt.net/twt/g5sjnlq.

@lyse LOL. I barely use my mother tongue. 😫

@movq oh, you bet someone is adding them. Being as we are a small community, I could almost guess who added what. 😅

@lyse I am so tempted to agree with you on this one. There has to be a way to manage that without having to mute the bejesus out of them.

@nghialele it’s great to see another Yarnd pod in the wild. Welcome!

@starletvania Yes this thing is on 😅

@starletvania hello ((hello hello [imagine this as an echo])). ☺️

@thecanine with this you meant Conversations, not XMPP, right?

"Also, finally getting full screen view for avatars in XMPP - a better integrated one, after 25 years. Y@ay!"

@movq I didn't stop to think on this one. 😅 Of course, duh!

@movq this is mind boggling. How come it looks just fine under Mosaic, and not under IE3? Man, am I glad I don't use a Microsoft browser!

@movq Bahahahaha 🤣

@movq So no Mosaic support either? 🤣

I'm finding this very interesting... An evolved neural network that plays the game of tic-tac-toe and so far is a pretty decent player. Here is a visualization of it's evolved "brain" that underwent GA (genetic algorithm) training with classification learning + self-play.

@kat That would be cool! 😎

@bender Well it's really just for other fellow humans that might not know better and what Microsoft does with your hard™ work 🤣

@prologic yeah, that will work perfectly. Because you are using “please”—which we all know is a magic talisman word of obedience—all uploads of your code to Github will be automatically paused, until such magic word is removed. 😂

@kat Authelia is great 👌 Nice choice! 🙌

@bender 😂

@prologic I remember going through your “introduction to Golang”, I don’t remember the URL, but I vividly remember going through it, and I was lost at chapter one. So, about that “mastering” the core in hours, “I don’t believe you.” (insert I don’t believe you meme animated GIF here). LOL.

@bender Here's a short-list:

• Simple, minimal syntax—master the core in hours, not months.
• CSP-style concurrency (goroutines & channels)—safe, scalable parallelism.
• Blazing-fast compiler & single-binary deploys—zero runtime dependencies.
• Rich stdlib & built-in tooling (gofmt, go test, modules).
• No heavy frameworks or hidden magic—unlike Java/C++/Python overhead.

@prologic what’s to like? :-P

@bender What's not to like? 😅

@kat I don’t like Golang much either, but I am not a programmer. This little site, Go by example might explain a thing or two.

@bender There is no aim. Just learning 😅 That way I can actually speak and write with authority when it comes to these LLM(s) a bit more 🤣 Or maybe I just happen to become that random weirdo genius that invents Skynet™ 😂

@prologic so, what did you have for dinner last night? How's the weather Down Under a bit past 02:00? Do tell me. 🤭

@prologic You can read more about the "cryptic" live coding language Punctual in my newsletter

@sorenpeter Also not very readable. Quite cryptic really 😅 I have no idea how this works 🤦‍♂️

My vision with this newsletter is to have a slower medium for communicating about my art as well as ideas and projects I'm working on regarding how we can use digital technology to our own benefits instead of being exploited by big tech.

Twtxt not sloe enough for you? 🤣

@thecanine I think I know what you mean now.

@prologic it says in the linked page;)

fit 1 $ spin (saw 0.1 * sign fxy) $ rect 0 1 - rect 0 0.99 >> add; #punctual #livecoding #creativecoding #videoart

@sorenpeter What will you be writing about? What's your target audience? 🤔

@bender Appreicate it 🙏

@thecanine I admit I'm a little unclear of your position. What do you mean by "not the right approach"? What's your position here? 🤔 -- I have a funny feeling we actually algin, just getting our wires all mixed up in communicating it 🤣

@lyse an "informal" one. @movq doesn't even need to reach out. Simply wait until they start playing, measure the tempo, and start bassing on queue! Oh man, I can already imagine it! Dreamy! :-)

@thecanine right. Spell checkers are not AI. Full grammar checking, and correction? That one I have not seeing, but on AI. So, what I meant was, let the grammar gaffes show; we type as we speak (most of the time). About spelling mistakes, well, let them be corrected as we have done since 1971(?).

@bender Haha well said 🤣

@prologic to err is human, to forgive is divine, right? I say let us err, and forgive. My grammatical errors make me me. Misspellings? Well, we need no stinky AI for that!

@bender Bahaha 🤣

@prologic Dustin's last sentence on that post:

"This post was written entirely by a human, with no assistance from AI. (Other than spell- and grammar-checking.)"

Is it true that it was written "entirely by a human" then? Pfff.

@thecanine @movq So I actually agree with you! I think Dustin is taking a bit of a "deep and dark" path here (depression), and there are many parallels to other types of activities that we can all talk to. "AI" or "LLM"(s) here should be no different. Use them, Don't use them. I don't really see how it takes away our creativity or critical thinking.

@movq I'm more worried about Dustin Curtis's take on Thoughts on Thinking piece 🤔 It's a worrying time we're facing, where all human creativity, critical thinking and having to "think" at all just goes out the window 🪟 wow 🤯

@kat I kind of need some more details if you can. Logs, observations anything! Please 🙏

@movq I mean are you surprised? 😮

@kat this is the way. Tell your pod I am very proud of them! 😂

@kat Watching your vlog right now 😅

@kat Hmmmm? 🤔
