  Perhaps counterintuitively, I believe now is the best time to embrace and share personal and communal creativity. Folks are drowning in slop. Everywhere you look there is content generated by "Generative AI". People are tired of it. So start a blog. Write some code. Create art. Don't use "AI". Make it clear that you reject it so others can find and promote you. Promote others who do the same. The world is drowning in noise and desperate for signal. Share that signal.

  I use Emacs daily. It's an essential part of my workflow. I am also deeply opposed to using LLMs to generate code. https://gracefulliberty.com/notes/human-emacs/ Because of this, I have put my name down on Human Emacs. If at any point the GNU Project decides that LLM-generated code is acceptable, I am committed to participating in a future of Emacs without them. If you use Emacs and hold similar values, I encourage you to join us!

  Going to be linking to this anytime someone asks me about LLMs from now on. https://gracefulliberty.com/llms/ > I do not use LLMs or other "Generative AI" for prose or code, nor do I accept it from others as open source contributions. > I do not discuss my prose or code with LLMs. > I do not consult LLMs for projects, contributions, assignments, research, or anything else. > As far as possible and practicable, I have disabled LLM-integration in my tools or replaced too...

  Working on a little tool for fetching pages on the smolnet https://codeberg.org/liberty/snurl/ It currently supports Gopher, Spartan, and Finger, with Gemini in the works. #geminiprotocol #smolnet #gopher

  I have been officially accepted into the Applied Computing major at my university. Previously I was minoring in computer science. Excited to take some higher-level CS classes! When I graduate I will have a double degree in Physics and Applied computing.

  Some website updates! I updated information in my about section and added a picture of myself. https://gracefulliberty.com/about/ I also created a "notes" section for shorter writings that wouldn't fit into an article. https://gracefulliberty.com/notes/

  Been working on porting my physics simulations to the Web with #WASM via #Hoot. Something like they did here: https://spritely.institute/news/building-interactive-web-pages-with-guile-hoot.html I've been having to thoroughly read the examples, documentation, and hit my head against the wall, but I'm making progress! Still can't seem to get canvas drawing to work though. #Guile #Scheme #programming

  Just published SlopCheck, a tool to check for signs of LLM agents in git repositories. https://codeberg.org/liberty/slopcheck Currently it checks git history to see if a repository has any commits with LLM co-authors or if files like AGENTS.md exist. Written in #Guile because I'm learning it and because Python is accepting LLM-generated code. #llm #ai #OpenSource #programming

  Zig and Guile? I'm going to watch this later. https://av.tib.eu/media/61793 I would love to replace Rust + Python with Zig + Guile, with the latter allowing even tighter integration! #Zig #Guile

  I do intend to continue work towards Gemini support in curl. Unfortunately I'm a full time physics and computer science student so time is limited The goal is slow steps, eventually reaching the goal of making billions of computers around the world speak a growing Small Web protocol I welcome other C programmers interested in the #GeminiProtocol to collaborate!

  xkcd 927 in physics looks like: Inertial frame Free-float frame Lawful frame Lorentz frame Galilean frame Inertial space All meaning the same thing! I get that "inertial" can be unintuitive for what it's describing but surely there was a better option

  Looking to do research on gravitational waves in the coming months, contributing to LIGO, LISA, and NANOGrav. Super excited! #physics

  New blog post! I taught kids how to program using #Forth https://gracefulliberty.com/articles/teaching-kids-forth/ "Forth is uncommonly used to teach programming to kids. Scripting languages like Python and visual environments like Scratch are far more popular options. But when I got the opportunity to introduce middle and high school students to programming, I chose the stack-oriented concatenative language from 1970." #programming

  Is it time for me to finally start writing #Zig? I used to use it (and make minor contributions) years ago but got demoralized by constantly rewriting my code with updates. But it seems like a solid language and one that will only increase in prevalence in the coming years. #programming
