Happy Bandcamp Friday! i’m not terribly persistent about self-promotion, but here goes

My album Lies in Reach is a 42 minute odyssey of experimental electronica touching on wide swathes of influences; it is also a highly personal story about depression and hope matthewlyon.bandcamp.com/album

i also put together a name-your-price soundtrack for a game from a jam, some spacey-inspired chiptunes matthewlyon.bandcamp.com/album

I donate all the proceeds from my music to local charities or other good causes

If you'd like a video I can endorse, here's a good Tim Traveler video about the largest stadium in the world (now abandoned). Things of interest here:

1. I am entirely captivated by the abandoned piano at 2:35, evolved into a sort of permanent planter like the art car that lives in Toronto's Kensington Market

2. The British pronunciation of "Funicular"

3. I am now very curious to see someone do a history of athletic self-improvement orgs being oppressed by governments

Consider:

- Sokol, early 20th century, Czechia
- Falun Gong, late 20th century, China

Both organizations that are fundamentally about outdoor calisthenics, their activities expanded and/or the government viewed their sheer size as a threat, and the Nazis/Communist Party of Czechoslovakia/Chinese Communist Party oppresses them.

How this fits into the Boxer Rebellion, where boxing self-improvement clubs *did* try to overthrow the government, you'd have to uncover through research.

I keep seeing lots of people saying "LLMs are like compilers/assemblers for prompts"

Noooooooooo
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

LLMs are not compilers, and they're not assemblers. Determinism is a key aspect to assemblers and compilers.

And they *certainly* can't be part of a reproducible pipeline

The U.S. was targeting a section of Iran where a school was struck, officials told Congress

Courtney Kube,  Julie Tsirkin  and Gordon Lubold

Trump administration officials told lawmakers in closed-door briefings this week that the United States was targeting the area in Iran where an elementary school was struck and scores of children were killed, two U.S. officials told NBC News.

The U.S. knows the strike on the school was not by the Israelis, Trump administration officials told lawmakers, according to the two U.S. officials.

The administration officials acknowledged to lawmakers that the U.S. was operating in that section of Iran and did not offer a likely alternative theory to the idea that the strike could have been the U.S., the two U.S. officials said.

At least 168 people were killed at the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in the southern Iranian town of Minab, according to Iranian authorities, though some Iranian officials have said publicly the death toll could be higher.

In the far future year of 2027, coding consists of asking one agent to coordinate separate agents to write plans, write code, review code, write tests and run tests. Adding each new app feature will cost $800 in subscription fees and boil enough water to fill 2 swimming pools.

LLMs in FOSS

it is incredibly validating to me that prominent foss people who for decades embodied and reinforced the false idea that "all that matters is code" are now predictably falling into the LLM slop fad because, surprise fucking surprise, they never gave a single shit about people and simply rode the movement to have a space where they could whitewash their morality-unencumbered nonsense.

Hey, so, I make stuff sometimes and I'm bad at any kind of promotions.

But if you'd like to listen to some of my music or even "buy" (free is a totally valid price option) some of it, it's at:

ramp-music.bandcamp.com

And if you'd like to read the one short story that I actually submitted for publication (and got accepted), you can read it here -- it's very short (the submission guidelines were only up to 2,000 words):

qtmag.ca/issues/defining-queer

Maybe let me know if you listened/read/liked it?
