Thinking about how to add memory to an

Might be good to have two models running in tandem. One is trained to use a memory API. The other is just the personality. Before the personality gets data, memory decides if it wants to do some RAG queries. Then the result is fed to personality to respond with without it needing to understand memory. Then memory asks itself if it needs to remember any of personality's outputs.

Neat article my coworker found about some of the limitations of LLMs and so called (generative AI?).

What Apple is going to do to PWAs in less than two weeks in the EU is dastardly.

Their goal is to remove the only versions of Push, Fullscreen, Homescreen Icons, and Badging that didn't require paying them to be in the App Store *and make sure no other browser can have them either*.

They tried to sneak it under the noise of the alt-store drama, in a clearly premeditated fashion.

It's no exaggeration to say they've gone to war with the web & we don't owe the benefit of the doubt ever again.

K sleep time. Tuesday nights are a sacrifice to the Productivity Gods for this month. If I do well enough I can steer myself back to a 4 day work week within a couple months.

Suuuper rough sketch for anyone interested. Basically we'll have a list of accounts you follow in localStorage, then ingest their outboxes into this. Then we'll set up fully p2p identities and use the as another source to ingest stuff like followers only posts and replies from people you don't follow.

Gotta actively remind myself people prefer powers of 10 or at least multiples of 25. :P

I remember when a user of one of my past gigs was baffled that I was loading 128 items on a page. Sometimes I forget general people basically never think about powers of two.

Hot take that I only partially believe, but that is made unnecessarily inflammatory for the sake of social media brevity:

Nearly every bad thing in tech traces back to that the tech sector is one of the first to grow in post-Reagan disruption of labor rights and antitrust regulations, such that it is uniquely concentrated in a few unaccountable effective monopolies.

Teehee time to delete all my code and switch programming languages because this one has a better library for what I want to do. 😝

Been playing with continue.dev in Visual Studio Code hooked up to lmstudio.ai running OpenHermes 2.5. It works *okay* but I think the default prompts aren't exactly tuned for the ChatML format from the Mistral 7b model. So far editing code has been a shitshow but it's been useful to be able to ask it for python syntax instead of looking it up on duck duck go every time. I have it running on a mac mini in my closet so the dedicated M2 chip makes it pretty speedy.

Our fully remote team at @hyphacoop does a weekly coffee break. This year I've updated it from a Google Meet room to a Mozilla Hubs virtual office space complete with a giant water cooler and zany avatars. Since hubs is going to be closing down due to the layoffs I might start self hosting it or migrate to another platform like Thirdroom.

Wish I could send pull requests to how random businesses operate and plan inventory so I can get the sody pop I want within easy walking distance

btw here is something cool - the 3 of us watching on @monsterdon were making the #p2p thing of peertube happen. i was a little behind because i kept going back to watch scenes again, so i mostly downloaded from whoever was ahead rather than uploaded, but like this is so sick to me because if it had to serve the whole movie to everyone it probably wouldn't be able to handle many more than this, but with p2p we can basically have as many people watching as we want.

first pic is from like 2/3 of the way through the movie, second is from the end, so most of that server download happened at the beginning when i was the only peer.

One trend I keep noticing about interviews with Gargron or any article about “Mastodon” is how often they ask Gargron about “competing” or they write about competing and growth.

Gargron, to his credit, usually semi-dismisses it, but it shows just how lost in the hypercapitalist techno-feudalism sauce tech journos are that they still make it out to be about growth.

It’s been over year since Mastodon and the Fediverse gained mindshare… It’s clear that while they vaguely understand the technical underpinnings, they do not understand the social underpinnings that make it all possible.

It’s like they believe that each Fediverse server is a micro-Twitter that wants to be purchased by a technocorp, and all admins are in it because they want fifty billion users on their instance.

The Fediverse is the “next Twitter” in the same way that the tram is the “next car”.

It’s a trap. More code is not your friend, it’s your enemy.

Don’t add the dependency. Don’t generate 8000 lines of JavaScript. Replace JS with CSS. Don’t accept the digital grey goo spewed out of tools such as Copilot.

Code is a liability. Anything that helps you make more, quickly, with no effort, is leading you down a very dark path.

(muting this now; sorry, but it’s too noisy)

Everything about Apple the company pisses me off so much. They're some of the most abusive companies out there with how they treat the needs of others.
