Meta's social media apps suck. All of them. They're all misinformation piles of [*]. YouTube is great, too bad it's run by Google. Reddit is gold except it's way too hard to read and engage with and its moderators are batshit crazy, not chill at all. We built Oliver's Army for the next wave of social, Social after we've understood what went wrong the first time.Oliver's Army is a real-time conversation network. No bots ever (we use sophisticated bot detection). Every conversation real-time. Chat with as many people at once, cycle through as many man-made prompts as you can imagine. A whole new/old social format... chat windows! It's better seen than described.

Right now we want to test the random chat window thesis with US Politics. The Trump admin is causing a stir and the world doesn't have an easy off-ramp to communicate with their fellow citizens about it. Times are changing fast and the old social "post threads" style is archaic and unmeaningful.

I’m not a software engineer or a genius — I just had a weird idea:

What if memory wasn’t just stored as text or embeddings, but as symbolic, byte-level thoughts that could be passed between AIs?

That idea became MemoryCore Lite:

Encodes thoughts into lightweight bytecode

Shares them across nodes via peer-to-peer sync

Fully decentralized, no GPU needed

Designed to evolve into its own AI knowledge mesh

I just open-sourced the basic version here: github.com/ProToxicNinja/MemoryCore-Lite-Symbolic-Memory-Engine-for-AI

It’s simple — but everything works. You can build better tokenizers, smarter trainers, or even plug this into microchips or mobile apps.

I’d love feedback, contributions, or just ideas. Not trying to “go big” — I just want to see how far a simple, symbolic memory system can go.

When you have a lot of aliases it can be difficult to remember how was the one you need named especially if you do not use it very often. You can also have files stored in a bin folder and look there to find the name. Another trick is to prepend your commands with a comma then type the comma and hit the Tab key to see only your own commands. There is an article about it somewhere on the Internet.

I needed something lightweight to always show me the available commands. Something to run with a few keystrokes. Something that stores commands in files and folder structures.

The idea was born at the time of using Linux Debian with the dwm (dynamic window manager). The first version was implemented in bash and it could do three things: start an application, expand text from a template and do a predefined automation on the selected application.

It was launched by a keyboard shortcut and opened the list of commands in a new terminal window. The commands were stored in nested folders and it was able to switch between the three modes (launcher, expander, automator). It also required only few keystrokes to do the desired action.

For instance, I was in the terminal and hit Ctrl+P. It opened a new terminal and listed applications to launch. I hit the Space to switch to the expander mode. Then I hit the g to enter the Git folder and s for the status. The result was that it put the git status to the terminal I was in before. This expander could be used in any application. It could insert the email template into the browser.

Then I migrated to macOS and really missed that tool. So I quickly wrote a zsh vesrion that consists only the expander mode and supports only the terminal. It is activated by hitting Enter on empty command and then it inserts the desired command right into the prompt. For example, when you hit Enter, g and s you will get the git status command to the prompt and you can then execute it with Enter. Of course, those commands and keys are defined by you. There are various and lenghty commands that I use on a daily basis like this and it saves a lot of typing.

The tool is called Empty Enter Expander. It is implemented for the zsh as of now. Please check it out at https://github.com/waszabi/empty-enter-expander and let me know what you like or dislike about it.
