Probably unscripted improv, and hilarious. Go chino cudeiro!

Yes, missed one I agree. It's natural that social media attract political types, yet Reddit managed to stabulate them and have special interest groups of enthusiasts that avoided that, for example r/ollama or r/musictheory. That could work for Lemmy also, but activity is not near. They are in a chicken/egg situation about volume, maybe we need to start subscribing just out of faith.

I'd welcome a replacement of Reddit (13 year long user here) with comparable traction, now that they are closing RSS access and cornering old-reddit. Sad that few cared there.

People may still be taught that RSS is not an xml protocol that bla bla, but that it is one of the few remaining windows to get content delivered to readership in their own very terms and not in the ones of some pro-enshitification shareholders. There will always be people preaching rss and open platforms, the need is not gone.

Nice, we have some fat problems ahead in this Moore law dying world that need new ideas.

TIL about delay line memory, thanks! Curious idea. Wikipedia says Alan Turing proposed the use of gin as an ultrasonic delay medium :-)

I'm reading and liking his book just called "Trees" (some bites), it is about group actions on trees, written in the '80. It talks about the modular group among others, the tree action also being used in Shai Haran work on the "real" prime (if the AIs let us dream the old way about classic problems). Serre et al graph of groups idea is very categorical. He could well have been present in the very seminars when Grothendiek was breweing what is now called the Grothendiek construction (absurdly, since G was a serial constructor). That wraps that graph of groups thing.

Can you tell something about your tasks? I am pondering both models for cost saving.

Maybe we should define and spec what is an Open Platform, say RSS, Mastodon, grandma cookies recipe in a txt in an Apache, etc. Then paint a beautiful "open platform" logo and start making some collective noises, some pinky flower good-guy psiops. If reply is it alrady exists, it ain't rather working. Currently civil life is being shaped for the algos and the money, that is ok in business terms, we civilians are not coaxed to post or follow Twitter or Facebook as in an Orwellian bad dream. We rather opt-in, yet the politic process is not more illustrated despite all factual discussions at a chat distance of resolution, rational debate is penalized for being boring and much we are offered is as gamified as the Aliexpress user experience. Let's convince ourselves first that the parallel non-profit internet is a grand place to find the full spectrum of human rant in all its glory and gore. Hail the guy in his basement that made and documented a COTS parts scanning tunnel microscope. That is open platform content. Heck, remember webrings? Megacorps are not the problem, it is us being lazy even as spectators.

That is a very valid question. I happen to want to get Claude Code muscle memory under my belt for professional reasons in addition to get side projects advanced, could have settled for Codex else. Also OpenCode with eastern models gets part of the job done. In CC beyond using Luna for the cheap, I am using DeepSeek flash v4 for subagents, that is a further cost shaver. Not sure if in Codex I could do that.

I setup Luna as main Claude Code driver (so zero anthropic api use) and it nailed crisply a handful of python tasks, gonna continue this way.

jesuslop — Tue, 25 Aug 2026 13:19:52 +0000

yep I have feet wet with complex geometry/analysis but not to decipher lemma 2.8. But instead of asking ELI10 I asked about S^6 complex structure helping to cure O non-associativity and got open research directions for sibling goals more than clear cut "yes, if the paper pass validation we've got some new associative octonions". That may need some healthy challenging.

> complex structure in S^6 would mean an associative version of octonions

where can one read more about that?

New comment by jesuslop in "What does the Riemann zeta function have to do with the distribution of primes?"

jesuslop — Mon, 20 Jul 2026 19:11:15 +0000

Apropos, Wikipedia says at a picture: "(Left) The von Mangoldt function, approximated by zeta zero waves.(Right) The Fourier transform of the von Mangoldt function gives a spectrum with imaginary parts of Riemann zeta zeros as spikes." [1]. [2] explains the details very gently, one can skip parts. So this is a machine with input a function very close to prime counts, and outputs info about zeta zeros. And the machine is Fourier transform.
