I'd appreciate some more serious articles about how to think in #erlang/#elixir/#gleam so more about architecture, how to arrange code - I don't want to call it design pattern - but I need some conceptional food for thought ๐Ÿ˜€

I recently went all-in on #Gleam at work and in personal projects, and I would love to see these kinds of articles as well.

๐ŸŒ El silencioso regreso del control central

Internet naciรณ descentralizado: protocolos abiertos, servidores propios. Hoy la IA centraliza en el punto de interpretaciรณn: ya no navegamos, recibimos respuestas sintetizadas. Google/Meta concentraron atenciรณn, ahora OpenAI/Anthropic median conocimiento. La tecnologรญa descentralizada existe (ActivityPub, RSS), el problema es cultural. Soluciรณn: autoalojar, federarse, diversificar.

@neauoire are you by any chance aware of some work doing โ€œusefulโ€ computation with cellular automatons?
in reply to Artyom Bologov

if midi information as output is valid, and you consider orca a CA, then I'd say yes, it's very useful. It's likely the most efficient UX in terms of density for livecoding beating 1d textual representation. And it allows for the encoding of data in a very dense way.
llllllll.co/t/orca-livecoding-โ€ฆ

Someone else mentioned wireworld which works the same way, if you use the edge of the world as IO
youtube.com/watch?v=m5kT47US7eโ€ฆ

Neural nets are not too far from cellular automata too, only they don't map to a rigid grid. But for tasks that aren't sequential, or can be distributed, CA are very efficient, think of Green Arrays for example.
wiki.xxiivv.com/site/neural_neโ€ฆ

You can also consider the memory model behind BQN and APL as CA, as state changes on memory is applied non-deterministically.

the experiments with making a Turing machine in orca were definitely on my mind! And neural networks merge with CAs inti neural CAs, so yeah, itโ€™s there.

Thanks for the reference!

ONLYOFFICE feels like Microsoft Office, while LibreOffice does more. Pick your poison. ๐Ÿ‘‡

#opensource #onlyoffice #libreoffice #microsoftoffice

in reply to It's FOSS

And ONLYOFFICE project has been forked, so now there is an alternate open source version. I think its called Euro-Office (?).

Supported by a whole fleet of European open source companies, including NextCloud.

It will be interesting to see how that project develops.

I used libreoffice and it's so frustrating so OnlyOffice is now my tool

Piracy Just Won a $1 Billion Case (Sony v. Cox)


Sony thought it won $1 Billion from ISPs for users' copyright infringement. Instead, the Supreme Court just handed down the most upsetting 7-2 Opinion Hollywood and the Music Labels have ever seen.


The Amusing Thing is that a previous case where Sony was the Defender was used as part of the Defense of Cox from Sony's Claim.

hearing that it's Russian developed, I'm obviously prejudiced. And I do think that's the main issue. It's not the fork, but questioning their integrity.

I don't understand why Europe just doesn't support LibreOffice instead.
