i want to write fanfiction. alas today i feel weird

@movq@www.uninformativ.de i feel like when i read go code i’m reading some algebra shit where every part is 1-5 letters long and then there’s weird symbols like := and it’s just infinitely harder for me to parse and infer meaning from lol. it’s such a me problem

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz In what way should it be more verbose? Can you give an example? 🤔

Agree with kat! It’s cute!

I am yet again considering cutting my hair

@bender@twtxt.net There is no aim. Just learning 😅 That way I can actually speak and write with authority when it comes to these LLM(s) a bit more 🤣 Or maybe I just happen to become that random weirdo genius that invents Skynet™ 😂

@thecanine@twtxt.net SO CUTE

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i’m so fucking bad at this shit man i can’t even comprehend JS most of the time coding is not in my future

i wish it was realistic for me to learn golang but every single time i try to comprehend any go code i’m like What the fuck am i looking at. why is all of this so short and condensed GIVE ME VERBOSE CODE

I sent you my QR code, please respond!

*for context: long ago, there were some complaints, about some of my sitting drawings, where the legs are apart, not using dithering/more shading and one of my favourite artists, made a video, exploring the use of QR codes, in art
P.S.: the code just redirects to my websites

@sorenpeter@darch.dk Cool, that animation is quite hypnotic. :-)

Jokes aside, what’s the aim for doing this? Other than learning something new, that is.

@prologic@twtxt.net so, what did you have for dinner last night? How’s the weather Down Under a bit past 02:00? Do tell me. 🤭

This is one of my attempts:

$ go build ./cmd/xor/... && ./xor

Target reached!

Best network performance:
  [0 0] → got=0 exp=0 (raw=0.000) ✅
  [0 1] → got=1 exp=1 (raw=0.990) ✅

  [1 1] → got=0 exp=0 (raw=0.045) ✅

Over the past few weeks I’ve been experimenting with and doing some deep learning and researching into neutral networks and evolutionary adaptation of them. The thing is I haven’t gotten very far. I’ve been able to build two different approaches so far with limited results. The frustrating part is that these things are so “random” it isn’t even funny. Like I can’t even get a basic ANN + GA to evolve a network that solves the XOR pattern every time with high levels of accuracy. 😞

@prologic@twtxt.net You can read more about the “cryptic” live coding language Punctual in my newsletter

@sorenpeter@darch.dk Also not very readable. Quite cryptic really 😅 I have no idea how this works 🤦‍♂️

My vision with this newsletter is to have a slower medium for communicating about my art as well as ideas and projects I’m working on regarding how we can use digital technology to our own benefits instead of being exploited by big tech.

Twtxt not sloe enough for you? 🤣

@thecanine@twtxt.net I think I know what you mean now.

@prologic@twtxt.net it says in the linked page;)

@sorenpeter@darch.dk What will you be writing about? What’s your target audience? 🤔

I’m sending out my first newsletter later today. Sign up at https://darch.dk/newsletter if you want it fresh of the press 💌

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i have a terrible headache rn tho so debugging and log checking will have to wait

bruh i log in after a day and my TL/discover feed has 12 twts WHAT AM I MISSING

@prologic@twtxt.net best of luck, no pressure!

@bender@twtxt.net Appreicate it 🙏

https://youtu.be/1GN3xBuAgrI?si=ezBYJeSOFgtBdjEu – Can someone please just fire Trump already? What a fucking idiot?! The man is a lunatic 🤦‍♂️

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh, yeah, nothing beats modern DVCSs. I just hope that having CVS is better than nothing. We’ll see. 😂

Always glad to hear from you, mate. I understand work and personal life often demand attention. Just a well-being check, that’s all. ☺️

@thecanine@twtxt.net I admit I’m a little unclear of your position. What do you mean by “not the right approach”? What’s your position here? 🤔 – I have a funny feeling we actually algin, just getting our wires all mixed up in communicating it 🤣

Hey y’all 👋 I am told my “participation” is drastically down of ,ate So sorry 😞 Busy quite a busy few weeks at work with a reorg and lots of complex things happening in real live too 😅 – Hope everything is doing well 🤗

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Okay, jetzt hör’ ich’s. :DD

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Regarding https://www.uninformativ.de/blog/postings/2025-05-21/0/POSTING-en.html: Hahaha, that’s what I immediately thought, too! The pain of going back to CVS. :-D I used that back in school. Quickly after, I upgraded to SVN and even that was terrible in comparison to a modern VCS, such as git.

In any case, happy hacking!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Zum Beispiel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-unPs-NrVI0

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Kenne ich gar nicht und noch sehe ich die Ähnlichkeit nicht, aber kann ja noch kommen. 😅

@bender@twtxt.net With these paper thin walls, it might just work. 🤣

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org an “informal” one. @movq@www.uninformativ.de doesn’t even need to reach out. Simply wait until they start playing, measure the tempo, and start bassing on queue! Oh man, I can already imagine it! Dreamy! :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s cool! Both of you can now form a house band. :-)

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Ta! The dead end wasn’t all that bad in my opinion. Personally, I really do like dirt paths and exploring. It was all dried up, so no muddy mess we had to walk through. More like climbing over thick branches that have been worked into the ground by harvesters or forwarders in the muddy winter. Rough terrain. My mate, on the other hand – whose idea it was to check out the real summit in the first place ;-) — wasn’t all that pleased about the detour. Oh well. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Das klingt ein wenig nach einem Johnny-Einschub zwischen zwei Liedern auf einer EAV-CD. :-D

Again, I was simply pointing out that, if he used AI to correct misspellings, and improve grammar, then this isn’t true:

“This post was written entirely by a human, with no assistance from AI. (Other than spell- and grammar-checking.)”

@thecanine@twtxt.net right. Spell checkers are not AI. Full grammar checking, and correction? That one I have not seeing, but on AI. So, what I meant was, let the grammar gaffes show; we type as we speak (most of the time). About spelling mistakes, well, let them be corrected as we have done since 1971(?).

@bender@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net Jokes aside, I don’t think that’s the right approach either. We had spell checkers, since I can remember, as well as other tools, like the smart image select, used mostly to remove backgrounds. These are tools, that just simplify the process of either opening up a dictionary and looking up a word, you can’t remember the spelling of, or the process of placing a billion little dots around the part of an image you want to select - none of these are creative or enjoyable tasks, we already had tools for them, decades before AI. I don’t think we need to go back to cave paintings, to be free of AIs influence on our creative work.

@bender@twtxt.net Haha well said 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net to err is human, to forgive is divine, right? I say let us err, and forgive. My grammatical errors make me me. Misspellings? Well, we need no stinky AI for that!

The only true way to write is full of typos, spelling mistakes and gramatical errors right? 😅

@bender@twtxt.net Bahaha 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net Dustin’s last sentence on that post:

“This post was written entirely by a human, with no assistance from AI. (Other than spell- and grammar-checking.)”

Is it true that it was written “entirely by a human” then? Pfff.

@thecanine@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de So I actually agree with you! I think Dustin is taking a bit of a “deep and dark” path here (depression), and there are many parallels to other types of activities that we can all talk to. “AI” or “LLM”(s) here should be no different. Use them, Don’t use them. I don’t really see how it takes away our creativity or critical thinking.
