prime factors including 31 and 11 or prime factors including 19 and 5, terrifying. No CGA?

@prahou apng lispy gopher climate banner?

@prahou I thought we might be coming down hard on the apng side of things

@prahou Well if I press enter on a gif, it gives me an mpv X window looping that gif, I have the prompt turned off

@prahou I think I got confused. Anyway, in the TUI version, the program field can obviously be a gif player such as mpv.

@prahou oh I've actually never used gui links, is that what I was meant to be doing x_x.

@prahou
what if I add --no-video

@prahou
Er, is it really the word of our prophet that I have to remove

@prahou
how are people answering 'it can't play gifs'. Sounds like they need to customise their mimes a little more
@brettm

As a certain Dr Goebbels said: "If you repeat a big lie often enough. people will believe it".

They are drowning everyone under a Niagara Falls of B.S. Do not take the bait - focus on one or two issues you are familiar with and ignore the rest.

And, on these one or two issues, speak up, and speak with authority. Most of those PoS don't even care anyway, they are just "owning the libs".

This is why "Content Warnings" are a great thing and why you should use them. Liberally.

@djsundog
goooo to hell

@tomasino Xin nian keai le (happy spring festival in t-50 minutes

@dougmerritt Thanks ;) Yeah, though it's like Christmas, right, the celebration is on the eve beforehand (and midnight). Honestly I'm only a couple of pages into an endearingly dodgy text file I found titled, "the best snow crash text file.txt" which seemed like the most authentic way to read it.

Forgive the radio silence everyone. I did do a rewrite of NUD removing many of the silly things and improving readability shall we say. #lisp #cdrCoding .

Hope to see you at the show tomorrow, in just under 16 hours (I'll toot here an hour or so before going live).

:frantically reads Snow Crash

Xin nian keai le everyone (Happy Spring festival / Happy Chinese New Year)

@dougmerritt @screwtape My friend the natural language processing expert (UMass Amherst, Watson) also agrees.

I still argue that a multimodel LLM + IR system like Wolfram Alpha + a full fledged RDF backing store for a reasonable percent of formal knowledge ~>= than people actually imagine when they think of AGI. Also, less energy intensive than pure neural net solutions. He says I’m wrong; I’ve only done undergrad genetic programming 20yr ago

@dougmerritt
I have a broad array of his PDFs in there, though the files just have the names from scraping them sorry. I'll organize it later.

@dougmerritt
This was an after-ELS-scramble-idea.
Sandewall wrote a lisp program called The Leonardo System from 2005 to 2009, then he began writing that open-access book named AICA from 2010-2014.
He was an allegro cl person. To my knowledge, I have the sole patched version of his 2009 software, which had a problem that broke it with modern ( [] ) GNU CLISP.

@dougmerritt
This series of thoughts was not ready for the light of day sorry

@dougmerritt
So, Erik Sandewall https://www.ida.liu.se/ext/aica/ had an AI paradigm called Leonardo Software Individuals (for knowledge-based, cognitive computer programs). Bots need life spans of years, be self-awarely kept unique. In practice, for LLMs this would just mean running an LM locally and preserving its KV cache, between runs, which you can do, but everyone pretends you can't. I'd like to add these conditions to current norms.

@dougmerritt No, not at all, I misconstrued your question as being a haunting, guilty thought I felt I needed to explore in the future you somehow had access to. Relating to Sandewall's Software Individuals paradigm and the current practice of chatbots.

Er, I meant to just point out that LMs will happily babble authoritatively about having done something (like use a one-time-pad) while producing nonsense.
