  • I mean, I don’t think we should throw the baby out with the bath-sewage.

    I do really want a file system that allows semantic search via embeddings. That would give good natural language retrieval or even person based search on your photos.

    You can run those entirely locally. You can train them reasonably, though the AI labs have good quality ones. They’re available for free, and I can commute thousands per second on a modest GPU.

    Why not have a filesystem integration for them, with pluggable model support. You can do that with lancedb or chromadb, or pgvector, or you could build this into a SQLite plugin.

    Also, making hooks into software that agents can use if needed, also enables accessibility software to use them. I’ve been using AppleScript for like 20 years to automate shit, it’s nice that now I can plug agents into it, and all sorts of macOS features are built on the same bridges.

    There’s no need to default to plugging into the US based providers who (by US law) don’t respect privacy.


  • I think Heart of Darkness will never get banned, the image of African people as savages isn’t something which bothers the US.

    It’s been a long time since I read that one though. Maybe it’s more clearly subversive than I remember.

    Edit: after rereading the synopsis, yeah, I think people would be able to miss the really obvious criticism of colonialism if they aren’t looking for it, and instead share the views of Marlow.


  • Poor guy, shouldn’t have asked for books on

    • Anything deemed anti capitalist
    • Books on 3d printing
    • non or anti Christian books
    • Anything by Ellen Hopkins or Margaret Atwood
    • books criticising the US or Israel
    • 5668 other banned books this year alone.

  • Last night I had a dream I perfected a magic trick

    I’d dress like a vampire, then at the end of a movie when everyone goes outside and it’s too bright I’d start hissing and screaming, then smoke would come off me and I’d collapse and disappear.

    I don’t know how to do magic though, so I have no hope of accomplishing this trick illusion and I submit it to the community.
