I made a very simple corpus-driven chatbot that replies to you with the line of text from the corpus that comes after/is in response to the line of text most similar to what you just typed. here's a sample interaction where the database is built from the Cornell Movie Dialogs corpus... (my typing in green, bot response in blue; I typed the first turn and it alternates after that)

Open source's nature is to fade into the background and go unnoticed except by those whose work touches it directly. It is the plankton of computing. We all breathe, but few of us stop to think about where the oxygen is coming from.

Comment threads live-update is ready! Couple of things still to be done and the v0.1.0 will be finally released! 🎉

#activitypub

Indent with semicolons

int main() {
;;;;int a;
;;;;for (a = 0; a < 10; a++) {
;;;;;;;;printf("%d\n", a);
;;;;}
}

I very strongly believe the future of the web is people taking back control their space rather than relying on the convenience of using the services of corporate structures.

These places time and time again have proven they do not have our interest at heart and exploit our desire for convenience for their gain.

We gotta flip the script and stop expecting places who have never had our interests in mind to change.

We can do better. We don't need them.

.@mhall119 is developing an ethical alternative to #MeetUp called #GetTogether.

There's already a flagship site up and running:

https://gettogether.community/

The dev is working on #ActivityPub support and is requesting feedback on what more needs to be done:

If you're interested in helping federate GetTogether, join the discussion at the link above.

#Alternatives

This might be a stretch, but anyone on here as an employee inside Microsoft, Google, and/or Amazon that are working inside to petition them to break their relationship with ICE? DM me as I know someone working on a story about it and would like to connect you #TechWorkers #Organizing

So quitter.no is closing:

We have made huge strides, as #Fediverse, since the times of identi.ca. When identi.ca switched to pumpio (and thus dropped off of the federation), that was a huge blow. This was the biggest server, by far, and it left a gaping hole in the Fediverse.

These days a big server closes, and as sad as it is, people move on, Federation continues.
