#Emacs

It bugged me that my Org agenda was stale by Friday. I didn't like having all these finished tasks just staring back at me. Naturally, it was easy to get my agenda to roll with me, once I found the one sneaky setting https://mike.hostetlerhome.com/why-orgs-agenda-ignores-your-start-day #emacs #orgmode

Decided to go with @jamescherti emacs-minimal after having issues with prot's simple config #emacs

As a slow reader I finally found and read some toots (and replies) about "Human Emacs" initiative — about Emacs future without LLM-generated code inside the core.

It is funny and interesting to see some replies to this initiative where the people tirelessly trying do not notice a big elephant in the room

The elephant: the LLMs already harmed an opensource infrastructure a lot — basically DDoSed the sites with source code, bugtrackers, etc in the Internet, created an unmanageable wave of machine-generated PRs, made by people who usually don't want to tinker with code and make something by themselves — they just want an "OpenSource developer" badge (for resume/LinkedIn? ).

Like go to fishing and catch some fish effortlessly, without learning how to attach the hook to the fishing line, first.

Ah and companies used your code to pretend that these LLMs could be useful in programming. Which leds to a wave of layoffs in the IT industry and worsened working conditions for those who still have a job.

So, using these LLMs as "just a tool" sounds for me like a "you have no honor" event. Like, one new guy broke everything in your house and shit on the table during the party — but you still welcome him in your home, because he is a "cool and smart guy".

And about "just a tool" and a popular comparsion of LLMs with a fucking calculator. I don't know about other countries, but in Russia (at least a decade ago) schoolchildren learn how to make arithmetic in mind and with pen and paper first. After that they could use calculators, not before.

You know why? Because without the skill to perform a fast and rough calculations just with a bare brain — the human being is just a fuckmeat for greedy marketers, happy to take all your money with shiny slogans: "only today! a good deal! just take a credit of 2097152 roubles with 1337% montly interest rate and pay just a 67 roubles per month for this new shiny toy!"

Should note that I'm still using mental calculations — not because I'm a fucking "Luddite", but because I won't die with dementia and Alzheimer, completely forgot anything valuable in my life.

If I'm able to offload some mental task to the tech — well, it doesn't mean that I'm should to do this.

For me it is obvious, that Human Emacs initiative was made with the same idea — if programmers could commit LLM-generated patches to Emacs, then it doesn't mean that they should to do it — at least to stay on horseback and maintain the problem-solving skills. And have some fun of course, not just cleaning the Augean stables as a second, non-paid job.

#emacs #opensource

How do people here use #dired to find files in #emacs in a fairly quick way? Currently I just hit `C-x C-f` and type out the entire path of the file I wish to open. Of course this is made easy thanks to Vertico and Orderless packages but still is a hassle to type.

When I was on vim/cli tools, I'd use fzf to quickly enter the name of the directory I wanted to go to and that would do the trick. It was pretty fast too and I still use it from time to time.

Wondering if there's a similar approach on emacs.

💪 Human Emacs

｢ we are here to declare our intent to use and develop a version of Emacs that is free from LLM-generated contributions regardless of whatever policy GNU decides upon. We invite them to weigh the costs and do the right thing, in which case we will continue to support them. But if they are not willing to do so, we will continue to use and develop an LLM-free version of Emacs ｣

All the other kinds of Emacs are inhuman.
Or unhuman.
Or both.
This kind of Emacs, though, is a proud hominid.

Ha ha only serious.

@screwlisp @glitzersachen

@dentangle Sorry. Maybe I am misunderstanding you, or maybe you're misunderstanding the petition.

The status quo is that there is a committed, remarkably hardworking and accomplished group of Emacs maintainers with a historical affiliation with the FSF. (Your feelings and my feelings about that connection are irrelevant.)

Within that framework, those maintainers have determined that they will not adopt a separate policy from FSF. I strongly disagree, but I cannot object that my voice as a mere user is not considered there.

Meanwhile FSF delays making a decision. It may be from caution, it may be part of a pattern of general inefficacy, but the Emacs maintainers are waiting.

The petition says: if the decision is made to adopt a policy to allow LLM code, we support a fork.

I signed it because, in that sense, I could not tolerate leaving it up to "GNU" (the FSF) to decide the fate of Emacs.

Possibly, if the petition generates enough support, it will influence the Emacs maintainers and/or the FSF. I certainly hope so. I've lived through previous forks, and it is not a desirable outcome.

I have fermi estimated a solution to the climate crisis.

Lispy gopher climate banner, the gopher and lisp alien wading through flooded wreckage flanked by two demons carrying radio equipment.

Well, my ickle comint works, so executing a source block that should go via ecl's compile-file does that, and executing with :ecl :repl executes normally. I guess. #emacs afficianados, I use it like this:
(values
start-string
form
end-string)
And then I return the thing that came out in the multiple #lisp returns between start-string and end-string.

Alright, my nascent #ickleMode README has a working example, anyway.
https://codeberg.org/screwlisp/ickle
The gist is that instead of you writing embeddable common lisp's sffi's ffi:c-inline, there is an ob-ecl orgbabel package that builds an sffi thing out of the header args.

Currently the useage is just to tangle an ecl org src block, and then compile-file and load from lisp as usual (as exhibited in the readme example).

This works []
