Dear Elon, Woz, et. al.
You're joking, right? I mean, really? We're not talking about HAL 9000 here. We're talking about an elaborate Markov chain. If you don't ask it a question, it's not doing anything. It's not sitting there and thinking. It's not devising anything. And when it answers a question, it simply steals from what others have written.
Oh, I grant you that the programmers were pretty clever, and that the AI can do some fascinating data manipulations. But not one unique thought will ever cross the output.

A blurb I just wrote about Clojure.
Clojure is a language that employs a simple syntax to manipulate data types and structures that are as far from the constraints and limitation of the computer hardware as possible. The simplicity of the syntax allows rich and complex data manipulations to be accomplished with very little code — vastly increasing programmer productivity over languages that employ an elaborate syntax to manipulate data that hews close to the machine architecture. For any problem in which the richness and complexity of the data manipulations outweighs the possible efficiencies of adherence to physical hardware, it is difficult to imagine a better and more productive language than Clojure.
Good Morning Nostroddities. Today I will write a little blurb explaining why Clojure is the best language for manipulating highly complex and abstract aggregations of data. I may also be able to make some progress on the profile window of more-speech. (Yes, I know you've all been waiting for that.) Finally, my wife and I may decide to high-tail it up to our NorthWoods hideaway for the weekend.

Good Morning Nostrils,
Today I teach a class on Test Design. Time to prepare. It starts in less than two hours... ;-)
I got into the air today. Did 6 approaches with my long-time instructor. Great day.
OK, logging system implemented. Works nicely. It will let me debug something a bit deeper. But first... A shower.
Good Morning Notraledydes. This morning I'm going to implement a nice little logging system into more-speech. So far I've managed to get by with simple print statements. Now, however, I need to debug something that requires that I implement logging levels, so that I can dynamically increase or decrease the details that I log.
This will also clean up the fact that I have print statements in several different threads and sometimes they interfere with each other creating very bizarre looking messagers. ;-)
Good Morning Nostr Denizens. At the request of my users the latest push of more-speech prunes all the tab windows to a config specified number of events once every hour. This should keep memory usage down, as well as preventing the event window from having to re-render too many events every time you move it to a new screen, or wake up from sleep.
Good Morning people of Nostr!
Today the weather does not look good enough to go flying and practice instrument approaches with my long-time instructor. Sigh, maybe Tuesday. Oh well, I can always fly my sim.
Nighty Night Nostr-dreamers. Taxes done. Friends have gone home. Tired. Zzzzzzzz.
Doing Taxes. Yuk.
I spent an hour on my simulator today. Practicing approaches. Fun.


I spiffed up the User Profile in more-speech.
Now it looks like this:


Good Morning Nostramuses! I got the bills done yesterday. I should probably do taxes today. yuk. But I can probably spend a little time on more-speech too. (real life is such a bother...)
Good Night all you Zap Happy Nostroids. I got a nice beta release of more-speech done today. You can download it here:
Have fun. And I'll see you all in the Nostr-morning.

WHenever I'm zapped then I giggle
Just like a silly little kiddle
I see them come in
I get such a big grin
My mouth smile is as big as a fiddle.
When I zap you like this,
and you zap me like that.....
NO NO I'm not doing Celine Dion. NO!
I'm a shit poster.
I'm a shit poster.
Just watch me shit.
Oh yeah that's it.
Sung to the tune of I'm a girl watcher.
What the bleep is WoS and where can I get it?
