‼️I wrote a new blog post‼️
"An Exploration into Reinforcement Learning"

I talk about how RL is different from modern generative "AI" systems like LLMs. I also go over how specifically RL works, including a decent amount of algorithms and math.

I also talk about a little proof-of-concept program I made which is like a simulated biological environment. It's really cool, I'd love it if y'all would check it out!

Lemme know what you think of it!

WordPress powers 40% of the web. And most of it disappears into the algorithm. FediStation changes that. Every article becomes a node on the open social web. 🌐 https://fediboard.com/products/fedistation #WordPress #Fediverse #OpenWeb #SocialWeb #IndieWeb

RootBadger is live in beta:

https://rootbadger.com

A modern, Usenet-inspired social platform with topic-based groups, threaded discussions, and no algorithmic feed.

Still early and in progress, but open for testing.

I’m working on a new overall style for HisVirusness.com to celebrate this iteration's first anniversary, which will be at the end of this month. It’s very close to the current style, just a bit more… refined. It’s pretty much Defacto, Mark II.

It’s currently not live because it’s currently not ready, but here’s a sneak peek at the current WIP.

Open is not free to provide. And it takes effort, generosity and goodwill. Like with things like democracy and good utilities, sometimes, losing it might be a key requirement to build it back again robustly.

Well dang I just discovered IndiePass, which is the Android client I use to publish short posts and images to my blog, is now unmaintained. Do I dare adopt yet another orphaned project…

I'm so glad that PC-PDX (Punk Connection Portland) is still up and running (and hasn't really changed anything in like, over 15 years).

Little sunday project: I've set up my own wander console to explore the smallweb.

https://wander.kobel.fyi

It's a tiny tool that displays sites from nice corners of the internet (like StumbleUpon or Kagi Smallweb) and discovers other wander consoles and shows their content too.

If you have a webserver you can set it up too, it's just 2 files, html and js.

Indieweb is fun!

Been implementing some stuff over at https://indiwebify.me at my own website! Cheers!

A question for everyone selling things online:

What is the one product photo in your store you wish you could redo today?

There is always THAT ONE. The hero shot you keep meaning to redo. The category page image you have not touched in 18 months. The one that haunts the analytics.

Drop the category. We will read every comment.
