I don't want to give the MAGA's any ideas, but if they can accuse important people without evidence and make them spend time and money, and they also accuse helpless people and lock them up without an ability to see a judge, then they can make up evidence against helpless people and just lock them up. All they have to do is identify every non-MAGA voter, cross reference that with all of the information that they ruthlessly and meticulously collected about us, accuse, jail, and it seems like an easy path to win for MAGAs.

In the context of what an AI should feed back to the user asking the question of: "Is my Leader a Dictator"?, I think the AI should stick to basic facts. For example, say that XI in China is basically the Dictator of China if for no other reason when he took office that their Constitution said he was term limited, he changed the Constitution, and now seems to be in power for the rest of his life. That is a characteristic of a Dictator. There are other examples, would you like to hear them? Would you like to hear how other world dicks behave like tyrants?

Indoctrination is another word that the MAGAs use a lot to describe the "vermin" who is not them. I believe that I was "Indoctrinated" by learning History, Philosophy, and Ethics. That aint the MAGA path to Indoctrination, just show them someone to hate, and give them some fake pretense, and they are off the the races. Indoctrination is a word I wish I could slap out of every MAGAs mouth.

MAGAs went down this steep slope from criticizing "political correctness", to basically owning speech with all of the power of the US Government and Corporations. Now I can't even call them racist, I guess. But they are racists. Their solution to most problems is to eradicate a minority group. Every time anyone of them says "DEI", I know deep in their lizard brain stem that they are thinking black or woman.

All of the languages just boil down to syntax to me. I'm an assembly/C guy myself, but I guess Rust prevents stupid things like buffer overflows/memory leaks in some 'magical way' that probably inhibits creative coding, but with AI, all that low level stuff really turns into blocks to create in a minute, and then assemble them together. The language that seems to matter is the one that can interface with the AI the best.

One still has to direct the AI. I was an "AI supervisor" recently that directed it to write me a very complete game with Rust. I described it in English, it gave the rough draft, and I smoothed out the details with basic prompts. It was a few hours of my time but I could see that back in the day it would have taken a team of coders a few months to write. It gave me the Rust code base when done. To me the language was English, but I can see how the English to AI to the executable code has to be done in a standardized way. Rust seems good, but I suspect there is another language that AI likes better and is more adaptable, some kind of a pseudo code that translates to all sorts of processor types, that it will unveil in the near future.

Amstrad... an English Computer I believe, my mother in law had one. I learned Z80 code on a timex/sinclair 1000.

Seems to me that when MAGAs hear the words "socialist", and "free speech", that it triggers different definitions in their brains than they do in mine. I believe that Trump fits the labels of "socialist", and hates free speech, by every definition of the words as I learned them.

On a philosophical level, that seems correct. I don't want to check it, but I would bet a dollar that Meta never criticizes a wanna be Dictator like Trump, because Meta is a lowly Company, and Trump has the Power and Resources of the US Government to steam roll Meta into the ground with a tweet.

I see Meta is kinda evil by design, and Anthropic good by design. WTF? A competitor finds some BS about another and they are the "Authority" now? What is the "Meta Oversight Board" exactly? What gives them the right to judge anything?

The memory addressing made sense, I liked the register layout, I would highly recommend learning the Z80 or the 68000 if you have never done machine language before. On the old machines, graphics were done by writing to memory addresses, I'm not sure if that is possible to do that anymore in Windows. Machine language was great at that.

Could it be that labor is cheap in comparison with other costs like bonuses and stock gifts? If a bunch of HR people, programmers, and customer support people are let go due to AI productivity gains, does it really affect the bottom line of the company as far as some minor costs were cut? If so, it seems that AI will just cause Companies to shed jobs for the foreseeable future.

I'm sure I will come up with other ideas, but it seems like they could put a photodetector next to the LED, next to the die in the LED, or use the LED itself as a light detector. If it is dark, it is broken.

If you ask for a short summary, it can do that. What I would want it to do... is for me to explain in English what I want a board to do, what size I need it in, and other parameters. It can lay out a PCB, order the parts, Send the gerbers to PCB to a board shop, and have a working board in a week. Right now, an experienced Engineer should review the schematics and the layout, and give feedback to the AI, but there will come a day when that Engineer will be redundant the way things are going. As for software, Claude Code is mind blowing. I feel like I am commanding 20 experienced programmers who can work at 50x normal speed.

I am interested in what you consider the "new stuff". fyi, I always have fun along the way.
