Back in my day we had to print this out on lined paper and it was snoopy and playboy centerfolds, and no color for miles around.

Just like when we used to have boxed software back in the day. Of course it would be on Windows Store or whatever hogwash they use to push software.
Remember when you had to actually take market risk to publish something and not just "give it for free"? I get times are past that, but if the market is good enough for Cybertruck, surely it's good enough for Recall.
In fact, if I were the CEO I would do this just to allay FTC concerns about big-boi MS and their market power. Like how they made Office for the Mac when Jobs came back and to keep Mac afloat (or like how Google pays Firefox money).
Let the market decide, that's what these capitalists claim to love, right (yes, I know we see through their bluff from both left/right sides of the aisle - that's me calling it there).
Went there just for you :)
The past decade has taught me that Robert Anton Wilson's "reality tunnels" is a very real phenomenon and far more powerful an explanation of the "reality" of the (socially constructed) world that I would grow up in than I ever suspected.
I think underscores are pretty painless, but maybe it's just that my hands being like Trumps tiny hands make it less painful? I never liked the idea of a short space bar, but thinking about it now with the comment of having a couple useful buttons does sound kinda nice.
Hope you call it the Innernette :)
I understand "tradition" can play a role in jurisprudence, but this is clearly a bit much.
Really to find super-obvious examples look at almost any judgement by Thomas, or Alito.
The others (Roberts,Kavanaugh, Coney-Barrett & Gorsuch have all been able to partly go against perceived partisanship now and then.
This doesn't mean that there isn't left-wing jurisprudence operated by the "progressive" side of the aisle, but generally (I feel) it's more rare. Maybe if the court were 6-3 in the other direction it would be similar, where a couple extremist outliers would consistently vote with a strong Partisan bias.
The weakening/overturning of the of federal oversight of the south's voting processes, which was originally mandated by the Voting Rights Act, is another one I would call pretty partisan. But that's just my view. YMMV.
I did check (based on the comment above about Ableton not being the same as Reaper in terms of how it's used) - and see that Bitwig (which is more like Ableton) does support Linux (not sure how well, but it looks like it's officially supported). But people who have Ableton specific plugins may not be able to use it, IDK.
I do feel like Reaper was more for "live recording" sessions as opposed to Midi sequencing and electronic production, but that was just based on my small experience. I'm sure it's good for both, just a different work flow.
The main complaint is: I need my Adobe. I need my Ableton. I need my Office.
Some people actually need the official Office products, but I think for most users it's not necessary, though they get really uptight if you suggest it's not.
Adobe is honestly one of the biggest problems I think, and the most likely to continue to cause an issue with adoption.
Ableton can sorta work, but it's not perfect, but I can see them starting to pour resources into it to get it working better or even a proper port, but I could be wrong.
AFAIK it doesn't have any sort of extension like this though. But maybe someone with more CL experience can advise! Hopefully someone has a better idea for you :)
I see the stuff in the parent post but not sure exactly what it can do vs what I envision or you may be picturing...
I found out there's a thing called "deterministic debugging" (and the biggest known example afaict is rr: https://rr-project.org/
Apparently MS has a time-travel debugger... I pictured the AST being populated and repopulated via the steps, and the ability to diff changes over time.
Here's a wiki on various systems, though most of these seem to be typical text based "trace" options.

I found a professor at one point doing some research and he seemed to have given up without more funding. I thought I had it bookmarked, but am unable to find it right now. If I can remember (ha) I'll see if I can find it tomorrow. He had the most interesting approach that seemed closest to what I think you (and possibly I) are thinking, with propagation through the tree (I don't think I was picturing editing the graph directly per se - but that would be a cool idea).
Have you looked into LightTable or Brett Victor's work at all? http://lighttable.com/ (somewhat tangentially related, I think?)
Sorry this is so scattered I need to hit the hay LOL.
Til it falls and woops maybe chasing cheap fucks you in the long run. But hey, the investors made a profit! Who cares about the externalities.

"Namespace collisions" in the real world get my goat in general, but in this case, I'm about to have a heart attack from the discovery of all 3 in one week.
I get why for all cases : amber=electron/ήλεκτρο in Ancient Greek.* But still.
* One of my favorite albums is Amber by Autechre, and where I learned this nugget (also - it's a pile of Sand Dunes on the cover, so silicon). Clever boys.
Being local reduces some of these issues... But even then I'm not sure I trust the big actors the renege on the original deals and start hoovering what they can.
That's why I'm willing to play with this locally on my own end just for funs while not necessarily buying into the hype, or trusting the players/creators that they have the best intent besides more exploitation of natural, human, and data resources.
Sometimes it's ok to have complex opinions, and admittedly I was a bit strong in my condemnation above, but also brevity in comments is a virtue, better to underexplain at first than overexplain and clarify if needed. (He says as he spends multiple paragraphs over-explaining in a followup)
I never thought I would end up hating the whole tech world so much, and I thought "Crypto" was peak - but that was just a bunch of scammy dudes and rugpulls for suckers. This? Everyone is suckers. In theory there's a case to be made for it, but I trust none of the entities involved in pushing this out.
For about 5 years I thought MS was going to do something good. WSL2 was actually good tech and they seemed to uh... "embrace" open source. But since 2020 I feel like things are just going downhill.
My inner old man yells at the lawnmowermanchild : GET OFF MY LAWN.
But it seems it'd take a few weeks of running nonstop to train? Everywhere I'm reading says it's hard to determine the actual time required.
I would think 4500 pages of text would be a large enough volume to train. (assuming 500 words per page? If not more)
What's a good minimum number of blog entries/words to train a thing. I would think the more the merrier, but I ain't spending non-stop processing for weeks at a time.
I hate AI, I have no idea why I even want to try this, but... The data is there and it's local to my machine not shared with upstream, so I figure it'd be fine to mess with. Is my estimate in the ballpark?
