<gcannata23>Good morning, hope it is not too early at UTC+2 timezone

<gcannata23>I want a sincere opinion on my httpfs translator rewrite https://github.com/aculnaig/httpfs

<gcannata23>You can surely spot that I use AI shortcuts like AGENTS.md CONTEXT.md and PLAN.md but it won't last in the long run

<gcannata23>I use it only to shape the embrional state of the translator

<gcannata23>Once I have decided which features to put in I will freezer the translator and continue on my own

<gcannata23>I want to learn and progress I am too convinced that too much use of AI will blown away our brains

<gcannata23>Anyway, any feedback on the current state of the httpfs translator that I shared above is highly welcomed

<gcannata23>I would like your opinion before giving the httpfs translator a formal way intonthe mailing-list

<sam_>ACTION groans

<sam_>i don't understand why this channel seems to have a disproportionate level of people using LLMs for everything compared to others

<jab>sneek later tell gcannata23 You are free to make any translators with LLMs and run (and use) them yourself. However, the Hurd project will not accept those contributions nor will we merge that code.

<sneek>Got it.

<gcannata23>sam: i only use LLMs to brainstorm ideas. I do not do prompt engineering as it is called nowadays. I think, I learn, finally I write code. It is more clear, now ?

<sneek>gcannata23, you have 1 message!

<sneek>gcannata23, jab says: You are free to make any translators with LLMs and run (and use) them yourself. However, the Hurd project will not accept those contributions nor will we merge that code.

<GNU_Hurd_Rocks>checking...

<GNU_Hurd_Rocks>ok we are fine :3

<gcannata23>If you compare my code to that of the recente GNU AI project, you are off the road

<GNU_Hurd_Rocks>GNU AI? what

<gcannata23>GNU_Hurd_Rocks: GNU AI procjet is not affiliated in any way to the GNU foundation. Is just a project from a random guy for a neuron translator

<gcannata23>I don't even understand myself what is all about

<GNU_Hurd_Rocks>what is this crap, https://github.com/jack-sparrow-code/GNU-AI

<gcannata23>Anyway I think that guy finished his token budget and is not writing to the mailing list anymore

<GNU_Hurd_Rocks>no configure.ac stuff, sad

<gcannata23>Anyway there is really no Italian guy or girl here ?

<GNU_Hurd_Rocks>no idea...

<gcannata23>I have created an Italian sub-reddit to spread the GNU Hurd verb

<gcannata23>Because I am Italian of course

<gcannata23>And not so many Italian people know what GNU Hurd currently is

<gcannata23>Hope that sub-reddit will grow in popularity and the usual OS flaming war place

<gcannata23>*and not the usual OS

<GNU_Hurd_Rocks>I happen to be related to a line of Italians though ;3

<gcannata23>You have some grand-grand-parents based in Italy ? Where specifically, may I ask ?

<gcannata23>I am from the city of Milan by the way

<GNU_Hurd_Rocks>that I don't know

<gcannata23>What you are working on at the moment ?

<Alicia>GNU_Hurd_Rocks: oh! that seems to be yet another "GNU AI". The other one I saw was by Claire. same LLM nonsense but as a Hurd translator

<GNU_Hurd_Rocks>translator for the translator?!

<GNU_Hurd_Rocks>LLMs might as well be a high level concept of translators to convert tokens into tokens

<GNU_Hurd_Rocks>gcannata23: there is one person I'm able to reference to which is like OwO

<gcannata23>GNU_Hurd_Rocks: what do you mean ?
