https://sonic-pi.net/ is neat; its in Ruby and very mature project but it requires you to run their own custom IRB application. But beyond that its really easy to use, and probably the most sophisticated that I have seen. Accidentally went to one of their talks in Berlin years ago.

Itd be fine even if it was criticism I would try to frame it in the way that would get at the underlying concept I felt was important; because I care enough to actually try to convince you and not to walk away or be satisfied with a childish quip.

dont worry you wont offend me, I’m not a great writer either, I have to edit a lot-- so waiting can sometimes be wise

I don’t know if we can go back to those places though, the internet has to be defined with the dimension of time and I don’t think it simply goes in reverse. Its not like technology has to “progress” either; these are concepts kinda taught to believe, and why most people assume evolution is towards something, at the very least they will say positive change; when all it implies is change. Change that does not significantly reduce the life expectancy and survival rates.

Yeah I agree, because leftists can’t realy post opening on the public internet. Its a form of self-censorship, our records are definitely likely to be used against use; while right wing terrorists are often given funding.

RIght now we need a solution that combines both being easy, secure, and ideally has the most of the data. And the security may enable you to have the last one; and if its presented in basically the same way could achieve the first.

So because of the tools mostly being complete or much easier to work with since last time I looked, I’m going to put together a specialized DHT design I worked on to remove the need for seed nodes. Via-Psuedo Anonymous Trustlessness. For example if you opt for several trust strategies combined, you will end up with a better balance for practically every type of p2p protocol. Because of Bitcoin now no one knows what any of the defintions mean, what the components are, and just care about having unique tokens which is why recent “advancements” have been creation of tokens easily, essentially penny stocks; but even more unregulated. Cryptosecurities more than cryptocurrency; and I think assuming asymmetric encryption + p2p network leads to bad or currency; there is a lot being missed that we may need to start building.

I have been working on p2p networks for a long time now, since basically BitTorrent made me obessed; and the truth is if you remove the “trustless” requirement out; so many things people think need to be in a p2p protocol, no longer need to be there making everything much simpler.

I think mastodon or lemmy.ru is demonstrating a confederated design by using exact definitions, in away like a communalism bottom up approach. And I think there are obvious benefits to this model; I think its still inadequate because it doesn’t actually address the real problems. And I engineer to solve problems, so I like to be very conscious of the problems I’m trying to solve, otherwise how can I measure it to know if its working?

Yes, I have experimented a lot with QubesOS. I have spent time with the developers and made contributions to their project but utliamtely never liked using it. Multiverse OS isn’t perfect but its built around my needs

Yeah but you can’t also discount the amount of time invested people spend into learning a specific technique or software; people expect to get the most out of that time investment because for the most part it is difficult for people (aka they are not nerds for software like me); I might have time to package a KVM/QEMU with MacOS to create a macOS version of wine which wouldn’t be the best solution but itd be free which would b helpful to people. Will depend on how well M1/M2 software ports to other ARM64 but I doubt its too difficerent. OR probably just enough different

Latency is always an issue, storage is another issue with how big the files typically are. Telegram gives 2GB transfers and you can actually lerverage their data transfer network even though they dont like you to do it by itself

I was thinking more classical vertical or horizontal sequencers or whatever audacity is (DAW?) would be much easier to make collaboration even beyond 2 people by giving each a mouse and ability to start stop; and probably want ability to experiment locally and merge in your results.

Servo lets you utilize the rendering engine directly, without needing to have a browser cut down, and really only the best versions of those are essentially rewrites.

But Servo was always built as a separate module to be used in a modular way; the API didn’t exist until more recently.

One can now create “PWAs” which are a way of leveraging web assembly without a full browser but just access again tot he rendering engine.

Ideally you shouldn’t need JS; you should be able to raytrace to the spot that was selected just selecting the heighted z-index element at a given section.

Then any reactions could things throwng to the renderer early a possible and put into a shadow buffer to probably some sort of animated swipe.

Should only really need HTML and CSS; the biggest benefits honestly come from regular changes made to HTTP protocol itself (WS, QUIC, etc) and the pressure to add useful features like webGL or server side rendering requests.

Packaging an extra browser is a very extreme fucking move which is why I’m so surprised to see it become the stadard especialpy from companies like ProtonMail; where a bridge, or a actual desktop application could have provided massively more security; they just repackaged their code witha browser and pretended like they did something knew. If anyone turns that in as acceptable work taht would be a huge red flag for me, because do they must know we can checksum JS already; and if you need JS, you can remove connection functionality from net.Conn

Now with PureGo soemone recently showed how easy it was to due a purego SDK2 which ironically from talking tot he developer I don’t think he even realized how powerful of a tool he created is, and how many new projects are going to show up. I plan on QEMU/KVM myself, and Ruby MRI, whereas I used to embed binary and run the binaries as memFS; I’d never assume a binary or its security; or run terminal commands from a system applicaiton and think that was remotely acceptable behavior.

So I was looking at Bevy written in Rust https://bevyengine.org/

Its like a combination of wanting to play with Rust, wanting to use the ECS system which seems very cool, and create a game or at least a virtual space I could use on stream that I can programmatically control then I could have an avatar. There is duel reasons for wanting a good engine that simple.

If I could build a really good cell shade rendering engine I could write comic books and quickly setup scenes and get different angels. Itd be weird for sure I have considered using this https://github.com/fogleman/ln

The genart of 3D items does appear to be getting better quickly, just tested it yesterday but its only good at generated random items; but the truth is you can basically do what openSCAD does, and instead of making each screw type, you make them all parameters to generate any time of screw.

I will write an article on all this new programmatic 3D stuff that has spawned from openSCAD which is programming version of CAD software. Which is used by engineers to model physical things.

Again this is why we need an open database, also then we could pull down parts of it and throw it through standard diffusion to get what we want even offline

With programatic models of say a table you could make each one randomizbly different as placed in the game world. And thats without the genart

I like these open-source remakes of games, Id never do that or probably play it; I might use a custom opensource counterstrike client though https://github.com/OpenDiablo2/OpenDiablo2

I love that answer, I feel the same way, I like helping people solve problems too because I get to show off and help at the same time; computer science when understood allows you to go to any language and just try to figure out how to do the thing you already know is the right way and possible in the new language.

There are solutions that don’t require you to use the whole browser now, using web assembly called pwm i think, I just saw it. It asks the browser just to use the rendering engine making it significantly more secure (naturalich) when allowing a language as complex as JS be in the UI.

Its very similar to electron but more modern, Ill send you the link once i find it again, I was waiting for access to the rendering engines, I started building lexers and parsers for HTML and CSS with the intention of building a renderer.

I lately been using the chrome-dp and turning off javascript personally for UI, or sometimes Ill opt to just use QT. It depends on the problem.

I kinda want to get a application that easily connects everyone here so we dont have to rely just on lemmy and mastodon; but they are good places; just want infrastructure to build ontop of

I made a kinda medium sized post on here today with an intro into music theory trying to keep it simple as possible.

If you have any questions for the basics I can likely help out. I got really into it, because I really enjoyed the math components and the idea of programming music been wanting since childhood and its cool to see all the programmatic music options. Because thats going to be basically applied music theory and you can build most of it into a library to be honest once you have the basics

Like this library https://github.com/go-music-theory/music-theory

If you can read code that will give you basically teach you everything most music theory classes will teach you.

But I like trying to understand the underlying physics, like how it repeats and harmonics and resonance are really good things to know about in general.

We need to make it easier to help people we have the technology, we need the people to invest the time, and at the very least alleviate suffering.

Yeah thre are core concepts with the software used to make music and once you learn those core concpts learning another program is mostly about the flow; they can essentially all have the same features at this point with VSTs

I kinda wish there was a universal filetype so if you wanted to work with him from abelton it would export as like a ,song that could be loaded by fruity loops. Because I have the same problem, I use garage band because it came on this computer and i was really lazy about it. i would pirate logic but that takes more effort than i care for the extra features. right now i dont even have a midi controller so I am painting notes, But maybe using the different strategies helps develop something

Oh they will certainly be living in vaults and using robotic avatars to play GTA with the remaining human population to cull them like Sparta did

Its that and people being convinced they can have their brain transfered to a computer, but knowing tech companies they will just write the software so it seems like the person who just committed suicide. And encourages others to do it too. And its just a mass suicide machine that collects money. because there is no reason to write the ability to put people into a computer if you can just convince them, its way cheaper RnD wise, also all the ram, cpu, and i/o usage. everything will be confusing

In highschool I enjoyed making source mods. I wish they would have kept up with it, people are finally making it easy to work with again. But its a community effort.

For some reason I’m really into the idea of building a game world where each NPC is a VM and what it does is basd on the software it has. And so players can program or more likely buy software from other people and add it to the people under their control. Its like saying: "there are always going to be botters in games, if the game currency has value which is a. positive thing for the game, then botteers will exist, so lets take advantage of botter skill by giving them exactly what they want. Software that can run while they are offline.

Then possibly you can use their software to make the mosters smarter. I think they should be in a virtual or VLAN once they are in earshot of each other. that way they can coordinate. Oddly it would probably be useful to roboticists to simulate things doing this same trick but having it be the hardware they are using. I wish most people would model their inventions instead of buying dev parts.

What I want too honestly is like /dev/body/leg0

I think it would be funny and interesting but also just like forward walk and using variables like 80% of capable speed. So that it can be used more widly.

Trying to intergrate the botters to work on your games AI instead of extract value of the game currency would be pretty different than what is done today.

Because then it proves the concept while giving you the structure for simulation, testing, etc.

So do you see the problem as genart not producing consistent enough things for it to work (at least from models built and manicured anonymously). Because its all basd on open source thech, we could seed the database potentially that only produces items of a specific style and package it with the game.

Personally I like to think of most games even 3d and 2d-- what would a text based client look like, would it be a terminal with commands or options presented in order, etc. Because thats the part of the game that matters most.

It is a pleasure to meet you too, it has beeen really good for my mental health I think meeting so many interesting people in a short time.

Hopefully I can keep dragging interesting artists, and other talents in here so when we decide on working together we have a variety of skills.

Have you seen a starburst chart before? Its the style I like to visualize encryption keys actually to better use subkeys. I was thinking everyone interested in participating, people are free to lurk, we basically self access then overtime peer assessments would ideally make it more accurate. Because if we store like 3 of them, 1 that maps out skills, other one for things they would like to learn and another being their interests. I was hoping we could run small experiments on matching people up for lessons and having each do a peer review afterwards to develop learning tools that heavily involve people.

I would like to teach more people, then obvio more people to help collaborate, but also so they don’t fall into one of those scams where its trade programming and they learn nothing about the system and write insecure and bad programs.

it could also help match people to collaborate like LFG style possibly or just automatically find a task that could be completed with who is available.

I need some Ruby programmers to help me fix Mastodon vanilla client, I could write the patch but I’m busy; but I have time to explain what needs to be done exactly and what patches need to be made. And I would be willing to take anyone wants to learn to porgram, and start teaching until you can write the patches. Its a pretty easy task I may just do it. I have to turn the /lib/* ActivityPub library into a Gem and then probably create a separate gem that uses a different activity pub server.

Then there is always rewriting the jobs and getting rid of bloated sidekiq. Rails added jobs a while ago, literally no reason to have it.

I think long as you are generally interested in the programming side of this project, and/or want to get into open source development. The concept of working under one banner at least on open source projects (for the time being) will provide a lot of benefits for us.

Not really, Logic, Abelton, Garageband is pretty good too honestly.

And I’m a Linux fan girl. I just try to be a realist about software. You can run full macOS VMs in linux pretty easily, sometimes I use them as controllers in my multiverse operating system. so like the nested hypervisor is what I call the controller. its nested hypervisor is where the app VMs are are ran.

But I’m thinking maybe at least a cheesy wine type setup is done where you load the whole VM launch the app and basically try to show you the output.

Itd be really nice to just use their free software on a platform they never intended it to be used on. I think VMs are getting good enough might be plausible to build a wrapper library to quickly make *.app software usable.

Just a thought from a tired person <3

I want to make one with a very simple Rust engine to play with rust. Once I find the link Ill send it, so you can tell me what you think. I have tried both Unity and Unreal before just for fun, seemed like they try to push you towards buying things. And again people would probably svae a lot of money if they learned game theory designed the game on paper then implemented it instead of just throwing things together like you sometimes. like counterstrike has higher skill to chance than most games and attracts a specific type of person. which i find interesting.

That is awesome. What kind of game are you going to create? I think learning game theory is really important, I learned it so I can try to always win.

One of the most important concepts is what ratio of chance vs skill does it take to meet victory conditions. I think the best games are probably designed to consider this balance and how it attracts different people to the game.

I found a site that was properietary that could relaibly do items, just not people, animals, vehicles, and I think one other thing. I can look it up for you.

If it can even just mass produce those with a style video game design would become much more streamlined.

I think we may need to quickly setup public versions of these where the data is transparent. I have more to say on that but tired…sorry
