Hard work day today, chums. I was given a spare hour to use for some reason, so whilst others opted for late starts, I got creative and took a 2 hour lunchbreak today and went for a lovely long swim. Glorious. Lovely gently sore arms and warm glow. All of my head bees ELIMINATED. So whilst running was cancelled tonight due to the heat I've got a free evening to make a long slow chilli, help kiddo with phone issues and have a generally lovely gentle evening. Huzzah! I hope you are similarly having a GREAT evening or whatever weird time it is in your relative dimension. Remember this..... All the world is a stage. And all the peeps merely players. Life and sentience is a cosmic joke really. None of it really matters in the grand scheme. Other than what we apply, ourselves. What's your time worth? Do you want to give yourself over to hate and conflict? So many foolish people are intent on using much of their life force and energy on worrying about other people's PENISES and/or VAGINAS, or PIGMENTATION or whatever. Let's not spend more time than is necessary worrying about them. We fight our fight. We stand our ground. We do what is necessary. But ultimately fuck those guys (not like that). Live your life. Be free. Have joy. Be yourself. Don't waste your energy worrying about those who would seek to do you harm. They ain't worth it, babes. I'm being a bit silly but they really are not worth your time. You being happy within yourself and your life is really all that matters. I'm here for that. I'm here for you. I will bloody hecking GODDAMNED celebrate you. You're absolutely gorgeous and terrific. Love you, fam. X
@TheBreadmonkey What a great sounding day!!
@ramsey @mhoye @grmpyprogrammer honestly, if it weren't for the glaring ethical deal-breakers, the fact that we can teach intuition to computers now would be pretty cool, although the lack of common sense to pair with that intuition would still be pretty limiting to practical applications.
@MaddieM4 @mhoye @grmpyprogrammer I agree. I don’t have a problem with the technology itself, and it can be useful, but there are serious ethical issues with how it’s built and cultural implications with how it’s used.
Another thing we have to be careful of fooling ourselves over is that it’s also not intuiting anything. It is using probability through neural networks to choose the next word. (“Neural network” is also a horribly misleading term.)

Detrás de nosotros estamos ustedes
Detrás de nuestros pasamontañas está eí rostro de todas las mujeres excluidas. De todos...
...los indígenas olvidados
...los homosexuales perseguidos
...los jóvenes despreciados
De todos
...los migrantes golpeados
...los presos por su palabra y pensamiento
...los trabajadores humillados
...los muertos de olvido.
De todos los hombres y mujeres simples y ordinarios que no cuentan, que no son vistos, que no son nombrados, que no tienen mañana.

@davidgerard So everytime you see one of these in public, punch them and stomp their glasses
Seriously, from an end user standpoint, what else is this for? There's no shortage of fashion shots on Instagram. It's a maybe sanitized version of Grok undressing women on "X."
So many "AI" features are like this: "There is no point to it and the average user has no use for it but we're going to let you do it anyway no matter how creepy and invasive it is!"

#OtD 9 Jul 1984 a national dockers strike was called in the UK in protest at the use of unregistered dockers to unload iron ore which had been blacked in support of striking miners, lasting several days.

I just had to buy one for meme purposes.

@ifixcoinops I am not familiar Enough with Uk politics to understand whats going on, but is a character from Gremloids about to become an MP?
@ajroach42 @ifixcoinops yes.
@dirtycommo Personally I just tokenize BASIC into an AST, and interpreter runs off those. I don't like char-by-char tokenizing every single time.
I'm still being lazy in mine, I should translate expressions into RPN with operator precedence, and then rewrite them as algebraic on LIST, but I don't.
@mdhughes can you help me a little bit with this?
Do you have a good link to something I can look at to understand where I am going with this?
So far I am trying to figure out how to structure the memory, and then learn the syntax of the gcc AVR assembler.
Tokenising has a good example in BBC Micro Basic and... A few others?
