I took a day off for nostalgia to add colorized listings to the #Atari BASIC thing. I'm using the AtariBASIC source code (annotated with pseudo-code) to inform the tokenizer. The most important component I need to implement is the little VM that applies the B.N.F. to each statement. #CodingLanguage

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.

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!

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.

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

The runner up for #ABBUC 2021 was "Fallen Kingdom" for the #Atari XL/XE. (Ported in 2022 as a Steam game called "Chessformer.") It combines chess with a platformer containing 30 challenging levels. I needed to stretch my coding skills, so for a weekend challenge I ported the game to #Pico8!

The GPT-OSS models released by OpenAI seem to be very outdated (over 3 years old) and their weaknesses are very apparent when compared to other open source models like DeepSeek, Mistral, and Qwen. But AI researchers and historians may find them interesting. #OpenAI #LLMs #AI

For health and comfort I’m adopting a new caloric/digestive thing in addition to my vegan thing: Alternating day fasting. One day of typical caloric intake followed by a day with 25% of that. Also cutting down on FODMAPs, while upping simple carbs, e.g., jasmine rice. #IBD
