Making a Compiler to Prove tmux Is Turing Complete

I did it, I wrote a compiler that can compile Python to run as tmux commands

@LALegault I don't like TikTok, it has many problems, but the way that the American leaders describe it make me actually want to install it. TikTok couldn't wish for a better marketing campaign.

@splitbrain A company I worked for previously had a coding workshop for project managers where they had to write a simple program from a guide, and then again where they had to fix a bug in a program, they found it very enlightening!

@LALegault @GM7077 odd, my feed is full of people who hate every president everywhere. I guess we follow very different people!

Two weeks in after I stopped drinking Coke/Sprite/Pepsi. It's an adjustment, but I'm managing.

Yay.

Fal Out Boy - We didn't start the fire

@valhalla Approved!

I don't know much about the future, but I know that it will be highly optimized in every way you can't imagine.

@alsternerd @badmaxx Palestine isn't Hamas the same way that the Israelis aren't their government. You literally apply a double standard in your statement. Also, Hamas's actions in no way justifies a genocide against the Palistinians.

Why did I just leave Spotify?

Nobody has ever reached out by saying they were interested in knowing more, after finding my music on there. Since this is *by design*, I removed all the music and deleted both my personal and artist accounts.

Same as when I deleted my SoundCloud a few weeks ago, it feels pointless to scatter songs over centralised online silos.

The sanest direction of travel from now on is to follow the principles of

@alsternerd @badmaxx Germans are fucking weird, they'll so "No Nazis" but then blatantly support Israel who are also committing a genocide against a people.

re: wrong
@LucasWerkmeister I always thought it was the GNU/Debian Project Leader.

One thing you can do for today: have some money to spare? Let's support the children of Gaza together. I will match up to $500 each for:

- GOAL MET! $500/$500: Middle East Children's Alliance https://www.mecaforpeace.org/
- $275/$500 Children's Relief Fund https://www.pcrf.net/

With my employer match, that will take us up to $1000 each! DM or reply with your receipts.

@mjg59 I don't think so. Humans and LLMs learn very differently from each other. If I looked at some proprietary code 10 years ago and assimilate how it works, it's going to get integrated into all my existing knowledge and creativity when I do something new with it. Existing LLMs often do things like regurgitate existing code perfectly, complete with typos in function names, when that happens I consider it more processing of existing code than learning and practicing

@mjg59 My 2c? If it's released under a free license then it's /generally/ good enough for me. However, it depends how that LLM learned to write that program. Did it study books from program languages and learn to write code and practiced making programs until it figured it out? Or is it effectively merely processing other people's code and performing some form of plagiarism?
