Try oats: they love eating the shoots.

When you buy "cat grass", it's oats.

Just get some whole oats from your local health-food store, & plant 'em, & let your friends eat the stuff to their hearts' content:

it'll do their health good, too!

So, East Germany, basically, with tech.

I'm suggesting you invest in reading a book on https://www.LeanPub.com called "Algebra-Driven Design".

the reason I'm suggesting it is that the complex-requirements you're being persecuted-by, are exactly the sort of thing that that book can help with.

( I'm presuming you code )

By creating the domain's algebra, & using meta-programming, you can prevent whole categories of bugs.

I only got part-way into the book ( I'm braindamaged, & have beenfailing to learn programming since the 1980's, when I lost 1/10th of my brain-volume ), but being able to create an APi with ZERO bugs in it, is part of what I'd seen in that book.


I'm a huge believer in keeping requirements divided into dimensions, & keeping those dimensions orthogonal, because once you fail in doing that, you're fscking doomed.

Here: got the link for you:

To the best of my knowledge, back-propagation IS learning, whether it's happening in a neural-net on a chip, or whether we're doing it, through feedback, & altering our understanding ( so both hard-logic & our wetware use the method for learning, though we use a rather sloppy implimentation of it. )

& altering the relative-significances of concepts IS learning.

( I'm not commenting on whether the new-relation-between-those-concepts is wrong or right, only on the mechanism )

so, I can't understand your position.

Please don't deem my comment worthy of answering: I'm only putting this here for the record, is all.

Everybody can downvote my comment into oblivion, & everything in the world'll still be fine.

You don't have to do ANYthing in order to have copyright on your images.

That is standard throughout the Berne convention & has been for decades.

Registering makes court-cases easier to win, but having copyright on one's renditions isn't in any way requiring that one have registered anything with anybody.

Wasn't there a competitor named Mattermost?

a FLOSS competitor?

Isn't Signal an option??

IF they've the horsepower to run it, I gather there is a reversal of Whisper, called WhisperSpeech, or something like that, which uses an LLM to convert text to speech.

...

Here: found it for you.

A question to consider, in the frame-of-reference of these 10:

What are the rights of rabies-virus?

It is a form of life, so it must have rights, then, yes?

Smallpox?

Ebola?

Bloodworms?

Cancer?


Malfunctions happen, chaotically: including malfunctions in genetics, in evolution, in ecology, etc.

Sometimes correction is required.

Within an individual, within a population, or within an entire-ecology.

This 10 doesn't allow that.

( also, it is life, not existence, which is the fundamental-validity: lumps of lead exist, they aren't living )


just the opinions of an autistic rando, is all:

pay no attention to meanings of mine.

Decades ago, I discovered that there are 4 dimensions that need to be covered, in balance, in community news:

  • the Strategic issues, 7+y as a rough guideline, for significance
  • the Tactical issues, 1-3y as a rough guideline
  • the little Pervasive annoyances that never get given a headline, but are a "tax" on people's wellbeing
  • Grow The Good!! community, culture, accomplishments, anchoring people's hope, humanity, validity, etc.

Leaving-out any 1 of those 4 dimensions has long-term costs.


this is just what one autist discovered, it doesn't mean you have to think there's any validity in the concept.
