"What a big relief it was years ago when I realised I don't have to be an optimist. ... I declared myself an diehard 'possibilist'. And it works. I've learned ...that human beings don't need certainty of outcome to achieve great feats. We only need a sense of possibility."
— Frances Moore Lappé: Diet for a Small Planet, p. xlix

Muse reshared this.
It has been 2 days since I last posted a cat photo. I apologize and offer up this angel for your consideration.
@neauoire thanks! i'm gonna do all rendering in uxn though, it's more or less gonna be the same broad strokes architecture as taro currently is, just instead of communicating over STDIO it'll communicate over 9p, and instead of the backend being written in crystal with event loops it'll be in C using the xrxs approach!
but i'm sure as i redo the whole frontend i'll have more than a few questions for you since i haven't really touched uxntal in a couple years ^^;

Say no to Palantir in the NHS
NHS England is rolling out software to run our health records from Palantir – a US spy-tech firm that has supported mass deportation in the US and enabled genocide in Gaza.
One of Palantir’s founders is also openly against the NHS. Peter Thiel claimed it “makes people sick” and said that the British people love the NHS because we’re suffering from Stockholm syndrome.
We can’t let a company like this take control of our healthcare system.
But we can fight back right now. We’ve set up a simple tool so you can find out if your local NHS trust has started using the software, and then send an email demanding they say no to Palantir.
With the government putting NHS trusts under pressure to adopt the software, we need to act right now. If you want to keep Palantir out of our NHS, send an email to your local trust and Wes Streeting, secretary of state for health.
Say no to Palantir in the NHS - No to Palantir

Trump INVESTIGATION into Jerome Powell CRUSHED by Federal Judge
In breaking news, Chief Judge Boesberg, citing to a "mountain of evidence" that Trump's DOJ is criminally investigating Fed Chair Jay Powell for improper purpose and no evidence of any crime being committed at all regarding the Fed Reserve building renovation cost overruns, has quashed the grand jury subpoenas and excoriated Trump and his DOJ in doing so. Popok reports.

Since we have a pi day coming up, I thought I'd re-share one of my favorite pieces. Cloud Computing / pi in the sky. Looking forward to working on this some more, especially as it moves toward installation scale.

Re-reading @neauoire ‘s excellent talk “Weathering Software Winter” 100r.co/site/weathering_softwa… and one line really struck home, in the light of all the woe we’re seeing (AI, sloperating systems, age verification aka biometric identity capture/surveillance etc.):
“I wanted a way of doing computers that nobody could take away from me.”
So the Transputer emulator is at the base of my attempt to do that.
your work on the transputer is how I first learned about your work, I considered the T4 for a bit before going with Uxn, and seeing you take it and run with it has been really nice. You're definitely going that way, where you'll have a bedrock abstraction that nobody can take away from you.
Keep it up!

Yea, maybe I should cool it. Anti AI posts get me acknowledgment and dopamine hit.
I want to gush more about Horse Girl Game, but no one else seems to want to play it. My other projects are stalled while I do CI maintenance (and I'm procrastinating on that too).
Tbh, I'm not doing too well, and I don't think a lot of my peers are either. And my living situation is _good_.

@cr1901
The one thing that probably has the most influence on our beliefs about people are our personal relationships with people different from us, and realizing that they are still people at the end of the day. I don't know why it seems to be a particular quirk of the human soul that we often need a personal example before we can feel empathy, but that seems to just be how it is.
I know people that use Claude or other tools, and that is costing me a lot of mental energy and quite a bit of cognitive dissonance. I know some of these these people are talented, passionate, intelligent people who got into coding for the same reasons we all did. We can believe they are ethically challenged, perhaps. but we are all flawed, messy creatures who make daily ethical compromises in some way.
I'm really honestly surprised that more people here don't personally know anyone that they hold in any regard whatsoever that use an LLM because it seems like I'm the only one struggling with trying to understand why people I know and respect can look at the ethical costs and shrug. (meanwhile vegans are like "lol, first time?")
I know what I'm seeing is the result of a lot of frustration and hopelessness. I don't personally know what to do about it, either. But I'm just worried that we never will as long as we abandon nuance in favor of a perpetual fediverse circlejerk.
I've pretty much disowned my family for their beliefs. I am not ready to give up a good chunk of my friends as well. I can't. I can't just sit here angry at the world, utterly alone.

@cr1901 I hear you, and thanks for posting this. I am also jaded from this.
I know people who use these tools, and am finding the flattened argument against them hard to sit with. In particular, two friends who are severely dyslexic have found some solace in chatGPT as an aide. They are aware of the problems, but are also aware of their systematic exclusion based on ability. This is not as black and white as people tend to make it on here.
