I think my philosophy when making software is that it should work for people with zero money or no bank account / credit card.

I know it's not a popular mindset to be in since money and profit is everything in the tech world.

I think it comes from growing up as a kid with no disposable income or access to anything but my shitty computer.

I'd rather support people with almost nothing than people with latest and greatest tech gizmos and spare cash for subscription services. 😅

Thread of stuff I wanna buy. Will "like" my own toot if I get it.

I'm gonna use this yhread as a way to keep track of links to read and like my own posts when I get around to them.

Idea for neural network practice: Neural Hilbert Curves. An autoencoder for x-y positions with a single neuron in the middle. Then I graph the x-y position for continuous values of 0-1 for than neuron and show what the space looks like.

Over a decade of computers not wanting me to be able to compile stuff has helped me build enough intuition to the point that an obscure un-searchable error in a build process was fixed by changing the terminal's character encoding :P

Multiplexing code compilation, university ML signal processing courses, and docs for this Rust based ML framework.

Vacation is going great so far!

I really feels like casting spells that slowly drive mortals insane. The first time it's like "Yeah just install all these things and it's fine", but the second you try to reproduce an older build rather than the latest version it's like "Welcome to the depths of hell, your soul is now forfeit". Similar when trying to add or change a dependency.

Praying to the Web Browser gods (re-downloading chromium over and over trying to get my build tools and versions to work)

Gotta wait for this 100 GB of source code and dependencies to download and get processed. Then if I'm lucky I get to wait 10 hours for it to compile.

For anyone curious, here's the code. It uses the new "Node SEA" method for single executible binaries but with some hacks to get native modules bundled statically and getting it to work with #hypercore This will be the foundation of the new version of HyperGodot.

I described it to my non techie friends as "I ripped out wherre it'd normally connect to it's organs but instead placed them in an external box. Now I'm going to make them create the box and hook up the organs as the program wakes up"

Just committed necromancy to hijack the build process of a bunch of node modules in order to make "single executable applications" with native dependencies possible.

Dawn Of The First Day Of Vacation: Xmas Shopping and Vaccuming

Thankful for the endless patience of my loved ones because I tend to speak in riddles for no discernable reason (high conpression ratio)

Damn they really nailed the feeling of dispair working fast food 🥲

Captured the first (public) words of Hypha's bot Roo. He's been helping us track bookmarks and holidays but today marks the first day he can actually talk to us. Our next steps are going to involve wiring him into our information sources and teaching him new tricks.

Honestly I'm pretty happy with how this went. I think I covered a lot of ground
