@jp_bennett enjoyed your episode about rust coreutils #especially the part where the guest called out the developers over at Nushell. is there a past episode where you have interviewed them? And if not, how about it? And if so, I think it should be time for an update because they're getting very close to a 1.0 release.

we lost an electronics legend in June this year. Don Lancaster passed away. This is a good video that covers some of his work, including the #TVTypewriter. https://youtu.be/GiI2ayNVDQg

The original article appeared in 1973 and an issue of radio electronics. -
@leo and this weeks #SecurityNow podcast, Leo and Steve discuss the very annoying low battery alarms that occur around your home. these often go off in the middle of the night and can be difficult to locate. being #Blind., I employ audio direction finding techniques to track them down. Leo wants Steve to develop a chirp finder. I think this would be a great #Arduino project. #RaspberryPie. #ADC #Triangulation.

A history and deep dive into a little known net work technology, called #Arcnet. A bit cheaper than #Ethernet.

used a token star topology rather than hashtag token ring. #Novell pretty much out marketed it with the #NE2000 nic. created by Datapoint/CTC. popular wiz, early micro, computers, and mini computers. Some are probably still in use today on factory floors for automation.

#Cookbooks #Summerfare #Picnic #EggSalad just realize some thing reading through a couple of audio books that are cookbooks. Seems that to make egg salad which you start with is the recipe for chicken salad and just substitute, hard-boiled eggs, chopped in place of the chicken. this is probably pretty obvious to most cooks but I am a clueless dude.

@ramsey I don't know. It seems to be on a case by case basis. And also, it might very well be platform specific in which case there's no happy medium probably. in this message. I'm trying so now to see what happens.

it seems if it is a wordy like word, even if it's misspelled, it will pronounce it as that word. If it's a bunch of letters, with no good vowels in between them to make up common words, then it spells them out. But I can't make it consistent. -
my cockney father-in-law had this in common with his Aussie in-laws: they used to say let's go down to the pub and get pissed. I just learned a new Aussie term: it's a piece of piss. Very similar to us yanks saying it's a piece of cake. I think that kind of shows which side has which priorities.

Finite automata are just fun! But, so far, the only onesI've ever written are deterministic or #DFA.
Nondeterministic finite automataare harder to write because their is some sortof parallism going there.
You have to multithread or use backtracking.
Consider a strings of 0s and 1s where the language requires the last but one to be a 1. Only #NFA can do it.
Luckily, NFA can be autotranslated to DFA using a power set of states.

@leo you were right, regarding Lispstl in Scheme and this weeks episode of security now. In fact, it looks like Steve has rediscovered schemes continuations. They are basically copy the stack into a variable and then restore the stack at some later time. Brilliant.

In the #1940s, the #FCC setup #RID stations to search out domestic German radio transmissions.
RID: Radio Intellegence Division

One of these was near Providence, R.I. That became the most sought after for domestic intellegence.

jj@[email protected] one of the great things about this video is it's discussion of how to do state machines in #Rust.StateMachinesAreAParticularLoveOfMineAndEverSinceILearnedAboutThemICan'tGetEnough.StateMachinesAreeverywhere.

With #EBNF , we have no need of Epsilon here. The #nonterminal followed by the
'*' operator simply means 0 or more of the preceding thing, here: The ElIfClause.
And for completeness: (else Statements)? means 0 or 1 of the preceding group making them optional.
Many times when trying to model your language syntax in #BNF, you are forced
to break out a new NonTerminal, and to supply a alternate Epsilon.
Often, you can avoid this with grouping and '*', '+' or '?'.
Where is E used in #EBNF -
But #EBNF introduces a more succint representation. Esp. w/the Kleene star '*''.
Let's look at a broken version of the syntax of #Bash's if/then/elif syntax:
#POBNF:
IfStmt ::= if BoolExpr then Statements ElIfClause ElseClause fi
ElIfClause ::= elif BoolExpr then Statements
| ...
#EBNF:
IfStmt ::= if BoolExpr then Statements ElIfClause* (else Statements)? fi
ElIfClause ::= elif BoolExpr then Statements
ElseClause ::= else Statements
(Whitespace elided) -
Epsilon is sometimes represented in #POBNF (Plain Old #BNF) as the Greek letter
itselff, the letter 'E' or 'e' or sometimes as '...' Different
BNF authors write it according to their own internal rules, apparently.
The fact of the symbol in BNF shows the rather tight coupling between a #grammar
notation and the underlying finite state machine tech used to actually #parse
the strings in the #language. Really, it is just multiple states returned from the delta function. #NFA #PDA #DFA -
Sometime back, I was working on a presentation re: #BNF and had this epiphany.
The Epsilon transition was nothing to be spooked about.
For those who might not be aware: Epsilon is a terminal symbol that might
occur in a production. (A pox on my younger doofus self who thought it was the empty string).
It actually introduces nondeterminism into the #grammar rules.
The insight was that #EBNF with its regex-like symbols has no need of Epsilon.

@podfeet #regarding the ethics of being in the student organization, is it OK to steal the text file from bill that's called breakfast menu items that text? I know you said don't step on anybody else's toes, but I just want to steal it so that I don't have to retype it. Is that OK as long as I do it in my own folder?

Complicate this 🌍 you 🎁 for me
I'm acquainted with your suffering
Hold me up to all whom you've deceived
Promises you break you still believe
And all your weight
It falls on me
It brings me down
And all your weight
It falls on me
It falls on me

#AI #GenerativeAI #LLMs #Socialism #Utopianism #Marxism: "So: I’ve now combined my interest in artificial intelligence with my interest in utopian literature and produced a book I think you’ll agree is quite remarkable. It’s called Echoland: A Comprehensive Guide to a Nonexistent Place, and it is a vision of what a world transformed by “AI” might look like. It’s a kind of updated version of Looking Backward for the 21st century, envisioning a fully automated socialist society where leisure is taken seriously, healthcare is free to all, gender categories have disappeared, and technology is put toward socially valuable rather than destructive uses. It’s a place where deprivation, militarism, and inequality have disappeared. I present a vision of a world where human beings manage to solve their basic problems and invent things that will help them thrive (and take care of the planet). But it’s not a “techno-solutionist” work. Echoland is clear that without being coupled to egalitarian values, new technology can be destructive, and that it is we, not our technology, that must solve our problems.
There’s also a bit of a twist to Echoland, because it’s not just a description of the World of Tomorrow. It also visualizes it in pictures. I’ve used AI image generators to produce imaginary objects from the future society, including train tickets, stuffed animals, and movie posters. I’ve designed clothes and cafes, album covers and textbooks. You’ll find everything in it from Soviet Afrofuturism to “Marx vs. Batman.” The book contains nearly 1,000 AI-generated images, and I’ve tried to demonstrate the remarkable range of capacities that these generators have. I think the results, which it’s often hard to believe were generated by a machine, will surprise you (and may even alarm you a bit)."
