  • no words

    there are no words
    only feelings
    ones I can't name
    in any language
    I simply bask
    and wallow
    and bask again
    and wish for a new word
    entirely 
    the old ones won't do
    

  • The Universe is a Hologram

    One is led to a new conception of undivided wholeness that denies the classical idea of the possibility of analyzing the world into separately and independently existing parts. The fundamental reality is the inseparable quantum interconnectedness of the whole universe, and the parts that have a relatively independent behavior are only particular and contingent forms within this totality.

  • Note to descendants: check on this bulb in the year 2108

    I replaced another old halogen bulb with a GU5.3 LED that claims to have a lifespan of 15,000 hours. Since this light is on for about half an hour a day on average, it should last until about 2108, which is convenient for the Year 2108 bug: [...]

  • Matrix Brain Download

    I found some notes the other day, just stashed away in a daily journal entry in my poorly maintained Zettelkasten, from March 2025 where I was noodling around with the idea of using Minsky's frame theory for managing context for language models, and with my silly little 'CYBERON' prototype, a cybernetic ontology program for taking in a corpus of data and automatically parsing that out into an ontology graph, and then using that ontology to understand and parse more data.

    Here I am 15 months later still playing around with the same things. I have a fairly brittle and rather anticohesive framework for managing frames of thought, some ideas for how to maintain coherent 'character consciousness' across the frames of thought (which are, in practice, LLM contexts. Everything is still just managing context for the language model. It's all just very fancy programs for setting up the system prompt and getting a result, and doing something with the result to inform or drive a future 'turn'.)

  • Excluding Hacker News AI articles in my Newsboat RSS

    There's been too many AI articles in Hacker News recently, and it's become so boring that I was thinking about removing Hacker News from my RSS reader, Newsboat. Then, I suddenly remembered something I had read in Newsboat's manual a long time ago: the possibility to filter out articles!

    • Possible to change account password?

      I was going through the entries in my password manager and I noticed that I used a relatively short password for this account, I am wondering if it is possible to change the password on the existing account?

    • Happy 0th Year

      Today, is my zeroth birthday of Phlogging. What an improvement, Phlogging is...! I am enjoying writing to my Phlog, while I also have a personal Blog.

      Regarding my personal Blog, what I dislike, is that I have to find an image on the Web to create a post. I dislike using the Web, more and more, so this is a sharp, un-smooth, interaction that my Blogging creates.
