I am being working on a new ui framework and will deliver a mcp, a lsp and a skill to help create new apps, because as it is new, it is not in any data used for training any llm.
Mostly on technologies that enables people talking. My first online friends, were from using IRC; I even made local friends, I would never without using the online way. Then I made friends using simple emails to far away people. Next I remember I did a lot of friends using SecondLife, were i found out about "mein sonnenshein", a virtual friend i virtually married 4 times and divorce four times also (it was very cheap like 10 cents to marry and 25 to divorce, lol) and a lot of other good friends; last one i got it in a MMORPG where i saw a "beautiful" elf warrior and started talking to her, and it results she spoke the same language and were in another continent. There is been a lot of time over, but i still make contact with some of them. I would dare to say that the virtual friends were as good as the real ones, because in the end we are all humans and connected with language, and resonate in many ways.
I had a ZX81. I remember copying hexadecimal lines of code from magazines using the tiny "keyboard". At least the hexadecimal code had checksums on every line, it made it a little easier to spot errors, but had to translate to Z80 machine code to be able to see any code at all! :)
> they're not just ripping the outputs of another model that someone else invested billions to train.
If they payed for inference, doesn't they own the output? So if I pay for a model to generate code, isn't that code mine to do with it whatever I want? Just curious.
Another proud ZX-81 owner, my first computer bought as kit. It made me the TI pioneer in my little city. So cool times, everything was complex and simple at the same time. I had a flight simulator in only 1Kb ram :D
Shameless plug: I have written a paper about using the MCP server architecture to enable agents to overcome the knowledge cutoff, to work with software released after the training stop.
IMHO consciousness is just the ability to detect change. Everything can be calm and static, and then, suddenly, something changed. I think that is our capacity to notice that change that makes us conscious.
It strikes me as funny how we want to get super AI inteligence but keep trying to anthropomorphizing all AI aspects to make it more "human". IMHO, if we keep doing it we will create Human AI with all errors and deficiencies humans have.
>This 14-country operation demonstrates the extraordinary cooperation with our international partners
The way they are treating their "international partners" would make this kind of cooperation very dificult on the future, and given that any dismantled site will give origin to new ones to fill the void, seems to me that it does more harm than good. A known evil is easier to dodge than an unknown one.
Actually is not a guitar problem, but all 12-TET tuned instruments have this, it is just a side effect of harmonic math. In the guitar case it is not only the tuning that counts, also the material the string are made and the diameter of the strings count to the final frequency, and we are using parallel frets so applying the same distance to different strings. There are guitars with not parallel frets that try to compensate for the diameter variation. But that’s all math and understanding, cause when you tune your guitar and just play you are in another world were "thought is the killer of flow"; so just play and enjoy the sound. :D
You can play with both hands on a Chapman stick, right hand can do the bass, the left the melody/chords or vice-versa (Chapman stick is played tapping the strings with both hands)
>criss-crossing in front of you towards the left side of your board.
No need to criss-cross the cable in front of you, you can connect the cable to the guitar on the right side and the cable will go behind you and emerge on the left side, into the pedal board/fx processor.
Well,i remember a performance of Jorge Lima Barreto (Portuguese electronic/free jazz) playing with a saxophonist with 2 microphones, one normal and the other with a brutal delay. He would play on the normal microphone and sometimes he directed the instrument output to the delayed microphone and it sounded monumental. Not sure what musician he was, i think is Tomas Stanko, but not sure. The performance sounded like you went through a big storm. :D
