The most natural way to experiment with #LLMs is to wrap up Frotz in a #Python Tkinter UI and feed the LLM the output of #Zork.

Using several system prompts for the role of summarizer, sidekick, assistant, and player.

It's important to keep context small but rich, so this Summarizer is doing well.

Pretty good Zork turn summaries by gpt-oss-20b.

I printed this piece for my Prusa i3 Jalopy Rebuild. The Adjustable X-Idler has always been a bit of a joke in old brittle PLA, quickly disintegrating every time. But with modern PETG a little bit of material goes a long way, so this turns out to be a pretty sturdy part!

In celebration of the 50th birthday of the 6502 here is a cleaned up and repaired Atari BASIC source based on the original "Atari BASIC Source Book" by Bill Wilkinson, Kathleen O'Brien, and Paul Laughton. Uses `make` with `ca65`.

The kids are all right.

And they aren’t falling for right-wing shutdown talking points either. Trump and Republicans should be worried about these future voters.

I just hope the so-called “grown-ups” do even a fraction of the research this young woman did. Google it.

If you look back at the past statements and behavior of your contrarian and edge-lord pals who in recent years became dupes and tools of the Authoritarian Right you will realize they were always dupes and tools. They were just waiting for the right moment to unleash their repressed id. #MAGA

We’ve gotten several messages that the Trump administration has tampered with federal employees’ email systems, making some people’s automatic Out of Office replies blame the government shutdown on the “radical left.” This was done without the employees’ knowledge.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Thank you, milord. Making good positive vibes that will heal the lost alienated soul. A few loaves and fishes can feed the multitude, if you know just how to slice ‘em.

Realtime 100x print speed is possible, but only in simulation! Attach the Marlin Simulator to LLDB in VSCode and there's no more fun and exciting way to debug and test your improvements to our small and maximally efficient #OpenSource motion system. #RepRap #3DPrinting #ImgUI

Before I decide on the morality I need to see how much he’s getting paid.

"Auto Build Marlin" is a VSCode extension created by the lead developer of Marlin Firmware to provide all the tools you need in one convenient location. It's never been easier to configure, build, and update your motion system firmware!

It is endlessly amusing to watch these salon-polished drunkards preening with such arrogance that they will never face a reckoning.

I’ll be live streaming later today, putting some final touches to the upcoming Marlin 2.1.3 release. This version will be tagged on Friday and we’ll patch up your reported issues in followup point releases. #3DPrinting

All things being equal, sane people would maintain well-founded beliefs and insane people would maintain a catalog of irrational beliefs. But to get sane people to embrace unfounded and irrational beliefs, that takes a bully like religion or authoritarianism. #TylenolRapture

I only discovered that CSS got nesting when I put SASS into a CSS file recently and it worked. Happy to see it!

I believe I will soon be raptured away to a paradise, a world built by grown-ups for the comfort and prosperity of agnostic grown-ups and their progeny that exists somewhere in Eurasia. #RaptureMeThis

The most they were ever going to get from me was $1500 over the remainder of my lifetime, so that is the most I can deny them, alas.

The original story by J.G.Ballard is also quite an amazing thing, in some ways even crazier!

I'm just one little fool who occasionally subscribed to Disney+ to catch up on a thing or two. Now I will be one little fool who occasionally downloads pirated content to catch up on a thing or two. Yo-ho-ho! I'm exercising my free speech rights with my wallet. #DisneyMinus

They do love playing their silly games of pretend-along.

Vestibular migraine and vertigo are well associated with histamine sensitivity (aged cheeses) and also casein / whey intolerance (dairy generally). Consider elimination fasting to try and isolate dietary triggers. It can be a major life changer.

Thinkyhead @thinkyhead.com · Sep 11

Take it easy! I got bad vertigo for a fortnight caused by mold exposure one time and had to take Dramamine all day to not fall down. And I used to have regular migraines but they stopped after I cut dairy out of my diet. I do still have pretty bad tinnitus though. Aging is fun!

Anyone else still occasionally using Midnight Commander (because Terminals are dumb without it)?
