Almost finished with A "Public Domain Picture". It's too long for the contest but it is funny and clever. Seems like that's what I do best. Listened to my new Jazz LPs and so far they all play good.

Worked on A Public Domain Picture for the Internet Archive's 2026 Public Domain Film Remix Contest. Enjoyed northernlights and the Lispy Gopher Show on anonradio.

The first version of Betty Boop and Pluto will be released into US public domain. We also get Animal Crackers, As I Lay Dying and Mondrian's Composition No. II
little sister haiku is doing an amazing job tho. once current task is "okay", we'll take a short break then get back to using sonnet. in the mean time - we're gonna ask haiku her thoughts on "being ada" (by ingesting ada's source code and understanding her core philosophies) #ai #llm #ollama #self-hosted #cc0 #public-domain #machine-learning
getting rate limited in copilot for using sonnet too much..... TRAGIC AS FUCK!!!
can't wait for the code to no longer need copilot - we're so so close. we already have self-hosted local-only open source pair programming in vim. its just a framework for something more polished, but we will not stop until anyone in the world can do machine learning science and tinkering. #ai #llm #ollama #self-hosted #cc0 #public-domain #machine-learning

Super! Enjoy it and work to keep it alive. Maybe fucking fix the copyright laws while at it.

@pluralistic https://standardebooks.org is a great source of #publicdomain reading, built by volunteer editors that give texts from archives like Project Gutenberg a modern, sensitive copyedit to produce elegantly typeset and rigorously standards-compliant ebooks, free to download. The covers, with public-domain art, evoke Penguin Classics. During the pandemic I contributed an Agatha Christie that lapsed into the public domain. The library and community are great--and growing.
