…pues esto me parece muy turbio, la verdad

"PSOE y Sumar consideran que “instar al presidente del Gobierno español a proponer la disolución de las Cortes Generales y convocar elecciones generales” —que es lo que pide la enmienda de los independentistas— supone que el Congreso se pronuncie “sobre una competencia que pertenece exclusivamente a la Presidencia del Gobierno”, según explican fuentes parlamentarias. Y, a juicio, de la izquierda, eso es algo que la Cámara Baja no puede hacer."

we're literally even doing brain science BASED on genai research shit link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.10…

"But the direction is from computer science to brain science, not from brain science to computer science. Introducing any other model than a feedforward model is an uphill battle, so science is stuck using computer science–based feedforward models for the foreseeable future."

apologies to the Rhombus programming language for somehow forgetting it has an apply operator (&) and an n-argument sum function btw both languages allow ommitting {print,write}ln

okay so I went back and made a second version of the code that's meant to be actually legible (right) *and* an implementation in Rhombus, aka """Racket2""" (left) gotta say Racket isn't doing so bad now, but it still feels weird

Past that point, it all becomes chaotic nonsense. We can blame the first line, at least partially, on Kinger trying to create an exploit tool like he creates butterflies (butterfiles?). But we too know Caine noticed what was going on and got involved. Overall tho, yeah, someone knew stuff in here.

Then we get this. Uhmmmmm. That one's… chronologically inaccurate. "systemctl" is a tool for controlling services on Linux. It's part of Systemd, a suite of tools for making Linux work. …it was created in 2010. Guess the PC got updated over time???

The other file tho. "paraphernalia-engine.dat". Sounds like a game engine, although it's hard to tell, particularly since the file extension (".dat") just means "data file", just like Ragatha's and Scratch's. Must be critical tho, because he went ahead and tried deleting it. Again, to no avail.

"rm /secured/paraphernalia-engine.dat"
"rm: /secured/paraphernalia-engine.dat: Permission denied"

There's a few other files in the same folder, "secured". One is for Scratch, another one is for Ragatha. We can see when they got in! The things at the left side are permissions. Read, Write, eXecute. Owned by user "root", group "wheel". We can assume "kinger" is also on group "wheel". An admin.

Presumably, the "kinger" UNIX user should have access to that, yet didn't. Weird. So he tries "chmod 000". chmod is a program for changing permissions to a file. Each 0 means "no access at all": one for the file owner, one for its user group, one for everyone else. And look, the file ends on .lisp!

"chmod 000 /secured/caine-core.lisp"
"chmod: /secured/caine-core.lisp: Permission denied"
"WARNING: Unfinished work detected. Access restricted."

Then there's this. GDB is the GNU debugger, one of the programs Richard Stallman wrote after he grew frustrated of printers not working. He was one of the guys creating Lisp machines at MIT. iknorite. "clisp" is a Common Lisp interpreter, a tool for Lisp code. Like the ones for Python or Java.

We can now go back and see what's going on a bit more clearly. This is NOT one of the 80s Lisp machines, but an UNIX, like a SPARCstation or a Linux PC. Lisp works just fine. First, "stop caine process". Yeah that doesn't exist here. Kinger wrote a script to remind himself that's not how it works.

And so the Lisp 1980s AI craze happened. Everyone and their mothers were obsessed in building "expert systems", machines that reasoned by using conditionals and looping over with new information. They got pretty far. In hindsight, we know they got all the theory right, the hardware was just unfit.

"The only way we know of expressing abstractions (such as the previous example of the opposition in checkers) is in language. That is why we have decided to program a system which reasons verbally." And so, he built a language. A programming one, meant to mean things. To abstract. Are you getting—

"A programming system called LISP (for LISt Processor) has been developed for the IBM 704 computer by the Artificial Intelligence group at M.I.T. The system was designed to facilitate experiments with a proposed system called the Advice Taker, whereby a machine could be instructed to handle declarative as well as imperative sentences and could exhibit “common sense” in carrying out its instructions. The original proposal for the Advice Taker was made in November 1958. The main requirement was a programming system for manipulating expressions representing formalized declarative and imperative sentences so that the Advice Taker system could make deductions.

In the course of its development the LISP system went through several stages of simplification and eventually came to be based on a scheme for representing the partial recursive functions of a certain class of symbolic expressions. This representation is independent of the IBM 704 computer, or of any other electronic computer, and it now seems expedient to expound the system by starting with the class of expressions called S-expressions and the functions called S-functions."

"Table 1: A typical problem approach may be to take a user command and translate it into program instructions. These program instructions are then executed by the computer. This is an example of taking a high level user language and converting it into efficient machine language"

John got busy. Not too long after that first meetup at Dartmouth, in 1959, he started materializing those ideas. His paper, "Programs with Common Sense", proposed a revolutionary idea. The advice taker. A program that takes decisions. A program that can abstract and create anything on its own.

"Interesting work is being done in programming computers to solve problems which require a high degree of intelligence in humans. However, certain elementary verbal reasoning processes so simple that they can be carried out by any non-feeble minded human have yet to be simulated by machine programs.

This paper will discuss programs to manipulate in a suitable formal language (most likely a part of the predicate calculus) common instrumental statements. The basic program will draw immediate conclusions from a list of premises. These conclusions will be either declarative or imperative sentences. When an imperative sentence is deduced the program takes a corresponding action. These actions may include printing sentences, moving sentences on lists, and reinitiating the basic deduction process on these lists.

Facilities will be provided for communication with humans in the system via manual intervention and display devices connected to the computer."

"The main advantages we expect the advice taker to have is that its behavior will be improvable merely by making statements to it, telling it about its symbolic environment and what is wanted from it. To make these statements will require little if any knowledge of the program or the previous knowledge of the advice taker. One will be able to assume that the advice taker will have available to it a fairly wide class of immediate logical consequences of anything it is told and its previous knowledge. This property is expected to have much in common with what makes us describe certain humans as having common sense. We shall therefore say that a program has common sense if it automatically deduces for itself a sufficiently wide class of immediate consequences of anything it is told and what it already knows."

"In our opinion, a system which is to evolve intelligence of human order should have at least the following features:

1. All behaviors must be representable in the system. Therefore, the system should either be able to construct arbitrary automata or to program in some general purpose programming language.
2. Interesting changes in behavior must be expressible in a simple way.
3. All aspects of behavior except the most routine must be improvable. In particular, the improving mechanism should be improvable.
4. The machine must have or evolve concepts of partial success because on difficult problems decisive successes or failures come too infrequently.
5. The system must be able to create subroutines which can be included in procedures as units. The learning of subroutines is complicated by the fact that the effect of a subroutine is not usually good or bad in itself. Therefore, the mechanism that selects subroutines should have concepts of interesting or powerful subroutine whose application may be good under suitable conditions."

"The final premise is the one which causes action to be taken.

x, canachult(x, prog(y, z), w), want(w) → do(y)

The argument the advice taker must produce in order to solve the problem deduces the following propositions in more or less the following order:

1. at(I, desk) → can(go(desk, car, walking))
2. at(I, car) → can(go(home, airport, driving))
3. did(go(desk, car, walking)) → at(I, car)
4. did(go(home, airport, driving)) → at(I, airport)
5. canachult(at(I, desk), go(desk, car, walking), at(I, car))
6. canachult(at(I, car), go(home, airport, driving), at(I, airport))
7. canachult(at(I, desk), prog(go(desk, car, walking),
go(home, airport, driving)) → at(I, airport))
8. do(go(desk, car, walking))

The deduction of the last proposition initiates action."

In summer 1956, a bunch of nerds met up at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire. The reason? Since WW2, they had been playing around with a couple ideas, and they felt they had potential. They were after thinking machines. "Artificial intelligence", they agreed on calling the newfound field.

Like, for context, Common Lisp is a standard of Lisp programming languages. Lisp is the funny parentheses programming language, a bit of a meme. It's also the theoretically simplest language out there, allowing creating just about everything, from very little. It's not a random choice tho.

Except, as high as the demand was, consumers have always been a minority of it all Notice how the years with better pricing are the ones where the market calms down, with the consumer share not changing at all
