Here's a chance I've got to rethink about copyleft.

In the case I'm wrong on this, we'll know in future :)

oh I thought this "one generation of suffering" only happens in me country! It happens in here for non technical stuff. When some new stuff gets widespread in me country for the first time, a lot of people misuse or abuse it. An example is telephone. Another is Internet itself. And lately, coffee has become widespread in here(Iran) and people don't know when to have an espresso and how many espressos per day is fine. There was a guy "I take 5-6 espressos per day and I'm fine".

In a similar way, many people spend too much time on social media rather than doing something productive.

Currently I'm not using any LLM. I want to have it locally and haven't found a time to launch it yet. But I am not interested about their current state, but also their future state. Surrounded by a big hype "LLMs will replace human programmers", I want to emphasize what an LLM is fundamentally not capable of, no matter how much advanced and how many billion billion of parameters.

Friendly reminder that many drugs like heroin and morphin can be life savers if used correctly. Either directly or by changing some of its chemicals. For instance, when people have heavy surgeries, morphin is a life saver to evade the insane pain. Needless to say that many of such these or a production of them are used as meds for mental illnesses.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I always wondered about Zig :)

Generating a working assembly code is not a big deal. People were doing it before LLMs see slightest light of the day using various other heuristics including Genetic Programming. The challenge is writing an Assembly code which you can prove works well and will continue to do so :)

That's why Genetic Programming is very rarely used to directly generate a software.

Edit: But you can use GP for Machine Learning tasks. Tell it to generate a program, like an assembly code which plays chess well. Or can do a binary classification given a photo or other media.

Have you guys got a list of Linux phones. Either pre-installed or DIY. If you want to install Linux on most Android phones, you have to spend 3-5 years mainlining it and then the hardware is outdated. And phone is not produced anymore...

Rust indeed has good features I enjoy having them. But the joy I can have in Lisp, I cannot have in other traditional(or ordinary?) languages. I've developed an ML backend with Rust over 3 years to learn that for algorithm research and testing, Lisp ecosystem is much better than Rust. But I haven't done the research yet to see if there is a Lisp other than CL which is performant enough. Because CL is quite obscure and has self contradicting features, thus not mature.

IRC is the best (jk)

I don't have to prove anything to anyone. Nor I've got the time for this. It's up to you to do your research. I have done mine and shared the results. You can take it or leave it.

And BTW, I edited the post. JMA servers are strictly family friendly. So you can join with your kids. Actually, there are few father-daugher or father-son who play together. I think there were also husband-wife couples but dunno if they still are around.

 

At this point, this is just a theory. But I do hope someone can make this real in the coming years :)

 

So many people think open source games are a no-go. But there are many good FOSS games. Luanti CTF is one of those games I really enjoy. It is based on the open source voxel game engine Luanti which has similarities with the closed source Minecraft game.

Showing server list in Luanti

I have been playing this game since youth years. And now I also develop the game :)

Server address: jmaminetest.mooo.com:30001

Some YT channels posting CTF vids:

Edit: See this post from rubenwardy on history of CTF. He started the game. And as he lost interest, he did a wise choice to hand it over to someone else.

Edit2: This server, and also other servers in the JMA network is strictly family friendly. Bear this in mind when playing on the server. This also means it could be a good playground for your kids, if you've got any :)
