one of the funnier things people don't like to talk about from all the reading they did. the body basically has a PID controller for how much fat to store. obesity is a control loop error. (the body will dump fat in to carbon dioxide exhalation if it decides its over tuned.)

though the article was done before the ozempic craze, which in part helps by down regulating the PID somewhat (afaik?) if that's truly the problem, i suspect a stem cell package would be a permanent fix though.

for the diabetes cures that's what it is. something about the specialized t-cell payload restarts the liver. i have no idea how it works for type-1. but its been done for both. they're just slow rolling the studies. :blobcatdunno: anyway

i remember trying opencode, purr, and goose. for some reason goose is the one i used for those experiments. it's not exactly good, but i think goose was the only one that actually worked with ollama (which is itself broken shit software.)

see ollama has a never fixed issue where streaming responses don't work with tool calling. almost every vibe code harness expects to receive streaming responses. goose was the only one that actually coped with not getting them and still worked. which is wild.

i think in part because i don't actually like claude hyperdependency, yet all the tools assume claude code. open stuff tends to need a lot more mental help along the way and the tools give up.

for something like hindsight, which tried to add memory and graph queries, you either have to staple it on with MCP or inject it somewhere. injecting it could be done with that llm proxy in python but then that one got the horrible remote CVE exploit in it.

tldr most of this shit is just we have claude code at home and is garbo if you aren't using claude

in order to even make hashes someone has to have had it in the first place. how can you confirm the hash is properly guilty if you can't source it? how can you confirm the hash is a valid match if you can't verify it? does some priesthood just divine numbers and hand them out? this is not a policy designed by someone trying to genuinely solve the problem.

pinset orchestrators also let you take a list of files and throw them at servers, like "make sure this hash code exists on 3 of these servers" like the fancy corporate RAIDs do.

i think i once opined a version of this that worked over RSS. one of the modules was jokingly named pachinko and would run the CRUSH algorithm from ceph through an interpreter, to place files in to silos, and then the silos become RSS feeds of the pinset.

so people would just show up and pick a random out of ten feeds and subscribe to it. which is how you get something like anna's archive where people with only a gigabyte or two to spare can still ensure books are not lost.

_________________________

it got hyped for the nft craze and people set up businesses where you paid people to keep your nfts hosted. i'm not aware if they are still around because i didn't use them. anna's archive and dhall used ipfs as a backing store and both dropped it for questionable reasons.

anna's went to russian file lockers where you pay money for privileged access so its questionable how much that choice was legitimate vs rent seeking.

dhall argued about it for a while because it provided decentralization from github; then went back to github as a CDN because of "performance issues" (large directories aren't optimized well.)

i think Blurry Moon (npub1hjv…drdr) used it and didn't like the daemons. though there were pinset orchestrator progs. it did get used to distribute 2077 leaks and such.

ipfs is sort of a walking corpse at the moment. it works, but its obviously less optimal than what "just use cloudflare bro" can ever provide, and the one major consumer pushing it (NFTs) was killed. brave tinkered with supporting it and i think since killed that too.

there's some forks and rewrite attempts aimed at fiddling with the directory problem. i know they added support for buzhashes and such, so you can actually do contentful chunking of websites and feed fragments of files you have that are unchanged with a different version of the site.

ultimately it needed a UX where a browser could report it supported ipfs, or a server broadcast that it did, and the browser would offer a little thumbtack button to pin some site. i think i have a draft x-accept-cdn: ipfs / x-accept-ipfs on my website. but getting browsers to do anything is impossible without a corporate spire forcing their hand, so.

In reply to nevent1q…9fqx
_________________________

basically looking at heaving some of the neuromorphic concepts on top of tsetlin machines. someone already took them and made a fuzzy variant and made a little shakespeare LLM out of it. they were using "hypervectors" for it.

turns out HVs are actually in the same lineage as the old Numenta SDRs i read about years ago. there's also some thing called FlyHash which had similar ideas.

so basically recurrent tsetlins have been tried, someone made a fuzzy version that keeps clause scores instead of binning them out, and i'm looking at doing k-winner-take-all on the scores instead. this is structurally similar to a spatial pooler with lateral inhibition, but there's no FPU in the loop.

one potential rule is to keep the resulting engram over by one step and zeroing those so they can't win two steps in a row (simulating refraction), which gives it temporal reasoning, and then "predict your own next frame" becomes a local objective (something apparently called predictive error coding, or friston free energy)

the interesting thing is if you use the output of that mess to feed a readout, it re-creates what a liquid state machine ultimately does, and if the readout is another fuzzy tsetlin machine that outputs probability fields you can use thompson sampling to select actions/tokens from it.

i don't know if it works. but if it does: it runs on dust.

i would personally interact with humans more but they don't want to engage in any of the topics i do, nor do they want to participate in any of the coding projects i proposed over the years.

so in my cases its usually labor that *nobody* wants to do and isn't particularly creative, or just realistically would not have been made at all otherwise. notably a couple years ago i openly asked fedi repeatedly to draw some stream art for money and nobody would let me pay them to do a simple spritework task.

it has to be hell to be a Deming shop in mainland china. i have never heard good things said about doing business with or in china. only that there are chinese who do want to actually sell good product and the government & culture are 100% completely useless when it comes to enforcing quality standards.

i think its just because VCs are so desperate to own the fourth industrial revolution that there was money to get away with it.

you have to imagine if the funding was there to guarantee takings from a 700% price hike... you wouldn't just ignore it. (this kind of shit is also why businesses in general don't like their numbers being public; harder to stage horseshit)

minorly amused that there is a possibility altman didn't do it.

if the RAM cartel has been repeatedly wrist slapped for the same crime: pulling it during a rollout of expansion looks deniable. they can claim its just high demand, price gouge, prey on all the VC money rolling out, and they got away with it for *years* now. they will likely just get wrist slapped in a manner that will still leave the whole scam profitable. samsung sings glory to the shareholders and altman/amodei get the blame.

it also seems plausible, since the "openai bought all the RAM" actually turned out to be "letters of intent to buy a lot of RAM," and then they proceed to be buying much less than they intended to which is making the "it just has to be 700% MSRP because of the demand guys" look.. indefensible.

not actually sure if the mumble protocol is anything special.

nostr+xmpp+mumble wouldn't be a bad desktop client. one for screaming in to the void, one for direct real time, and one for voice.

though i think nowadays you'd do all the voice over webrtc so idk.

:neocat_sweat: i barely know what i'm doing with this shit half the time. i mostly talk to an LLM about it these days and it stares at me in response.

something particularly weird is how structurally neuromorphic these things are. they get there through funny routes (explicit RNG deciding when to not update = heterogenous neurons)

the fuzzy machine already makes clauses do graded activation so its straightforward enough to group them up and do winner-take-all lateral inhibition, the question is just if that pooler is useful for anything :blobcatwaitwhat:

the bizzare thing is its theoretically possible to do some kind of hopfield memory / autoregressor thing -> decider -> loop without an FPU anywhere in sight.
