That's a lot of talking around the actual question

>that has kept his Tradition alive through the centuries and alive fundamentally unchanged

the answer to which is an emphatic, "No." Which is why Protestantism exists in the first place.

The fundamental conundrum is whether or not you believe god is operating through people who are clearly behaving in self-serving ways, as many Catholic officials have in the past. There's nothing empirical about such a question and no use becoming indignant over some taking the perfectly sentimental (if not also reasonable, though that's beside the point) stance that they simply don't trust those dudes. The appeal to being the Church which is Jesus who is God, and therefore you can't question anything a church official says, is, like... the whole point of tension.

> If "break" means "make overall better", why not?

Well that depends heavily on how well we can predict the outcomes and account for downsides and externalized costs. That doesn't mean never change anything, I'd never argue for that, but I am generally more hesitant to than most to change things that are working well enough.

> My understanding is that you believe there should be some point at which we just stop even if there are still more beneficial changes to be made

I think your description here assumes too much clarity in what is possible or what will happen if you continue on. Sometimes the system is well understood and the potential gains are pretty clear, that isn't always the case though.

> There are already a couple of diseases (including smallpox) that we've completely eradicated, and more (like polio) that we've made very good progress on

I wish virology was that cut and dry. There are diseases that present nearly identically to smallpox and polio but were given different names based on hypothesized causes. Monkeypox and acute flaccid myelitis come to mind, respectively. If I remember right, polio is actually one where the clinical diagnosis steps rules it out simply because polio has been deemed irradiated, meaning anyone with polio-like symptoms must have something else because we got rid of polio.

There's a whole rabbit hole around how virology tests and isolates viruses, that's probably not helpful to ho down here. My point stands though, maybe we can eradicate a particular virus but we can't really eradicate a disease when that's largely just a named collection of symptoms.

I've gotten at least two people (youths) to be able to raise a single eyebrow by placing their finger on their eyebrows and feeling their muscles activate as they raise and lower both eyebrows. Keeping your fingers on the eyebrow muscles, it's almost like your brain can start to "see" the two distinct muscles. It didn't take them too long (days not weeks, not hours) to be able to raise an eyebrow.

There's probably a biological component to it to, I'm not saying this will work for everyone because it didn't work for my spouse.

It is indeed brain-like in a functional way. Topographic structure is what enables the brain to have low dimensionality and metabolic efficiency. We find that inducing such structure in neural nets made them have significantly lower dimensionality and also more parameter efficient (After training, we could take advantage of the structure to remove ~80% of the weights in topographic layers without sacrificing performance)

I’m doubtful these numbers are realistic, but a more conventional explanation is that stablecoins can earn interest on conservative investments (like treasuries) but don’t pay interest, which should be profitable enough if they don’t get too greedy.

This is very roughly similar to banking. It’s an unregulated bank, but it’s not inevitable that they’ll implode.

I don't often use Sublime for coding nowadays (I'm generally using PhpStorm) but I have it open at almost all times as a scratchpad. It's so dang quick that opening it to jot something down or examine JSON is instant. And so performant that if I forget to close it, my system is never bothered by it. And it retains unsaved files forever – a must for a scratchpad in my opinion, and something many others fail to do. Long term notes get converted to Obsidian, but Sublime is just so easy to get something quick going that I love it and happily pay for a license.

Same goes for Sublime Merge, which is the best Git GUI I've ever used.

> To get things straight: llama.cpp is not hard to setup and get running. It was a bit of a hassle in 2023 but even then it was not catastrophically complicated if you were willing to read the errors you were getting.

It's made a lot of progress in that the README [0] now at least has instructions for how to download pre-built releases or docker images, but that requires actually reading the section entitled "Building the Project" to realize that it provides more than just building instructions. That is not accessible to the masses, and it's hard for me to not see that placement and prioritization as an intentional choice to be inaccessible (which is a perfectly valid choice for them!)

And that's aside from the fact that Ollama provides a ton of convenience features that are simply missing, starting with the fact that it looks like with llama.cpp I still have to pick a model at startup time, which means switching models requires SSHing into my server and restarting it.

None of this is meant to disparage llama.cpp: what they're doing is great and they have chosen to not prioritize user convenience as their primary goal. That's a perfectly valid choice. And I'm also not defending Ollama's lack of acknowledgment. I'm responding to a very specific set of ideas that have been prevalent in this thread: that not only does Ollama not give credit, they're not even really doing very much "real work". To me that is patently nonsense—the last mile to package something in a way that is user friendly is often at least as much work, it's just not the kind of work that hackers who hang out on forums like this appreciate.

In the US, executive branch functionaries don't get to propose legislation, and even their ability to interpret rules has recently been constrained.

The EU commission consists of appointed bureaucrats, and one's national representatives in the EU commission and the EU parliament are always -- by definition -- a minority. I think that the UK's old share was something like 9%, which was not nearly enough to pass or block legislation without a lot of outside assistance.

Simply put, there was no way for a voter in the UK to meaningfully affect EU regulations. There was -- and still is -- essentially zero democratic influence at the member-state level.

I can second that, my first boss (excluding family cats before I went to Uni and later had my own place) helped me through some bad spots¹ by just existing and being pleased to see me. On days I would otherwise have hibernated, getting up to make sure she had breakfast and a clean tray meant I was up and that made doing something with the day for myself much easier. She was one of my key constants through the ups & downs. And after a bad day at work, being purred at is wonderful, as was just playing around with a thing-on-a-string for her entertainment. I went a bit odd(er) during the covid lockdowns, I would have no doubt dealt even worse with the “stir-crazy” thing without her company.

> with even just a modicum of income.

Though if you only have “a modicum”, I strongly recommend pet insurance.

Gayle was taken two years ago, after ~12.5 years as my boss, by an aggressive case of lymphoma. The diagnosis and treatment for that² cost a goodly chunk of money. I was in a position to handle that financial hit without worry, but someone working minimum wage with few savings would have had little choice but to euthanise considerably sooner to avoid a drawn-out painful end without actually properly knowing what was wrong.

A couple of months after Gayle, I adopted an elderly pair (10 years each) from a local rescue. I wasn't quite ready, but the heartstrings were pulled as they'd been there for months with no interest because of their age and how shy they were, they didn't do well in the rescue & foster environments. Max (the shyest of the two) took quite some time to properly settle in and feel safe, but has since become a most affectionate companion (I am sometimes headbutted & massaged to within an inch of my life!). He unfortunately has developed a minor heart condition and had a little trouble with his waterworks³, again nothing that I can't afford to deal with but that someone living closer to their means might struggle to manage.

Interesting take! I detest when a system says something like: 3 days ago instead of an exact date/time or the total hours since. If its months ago, then the date makes the best sense to me. Maybe I'm just data driven in some way and don't like it when people "hide" details?

The Civil Rights Act and related topics are part of the US Code (laws) [1] and are completely unrelated to DEI. The legal redresses available for discrimination have not changed whatsoever.

The Civil Rights Act is exclusively about equality of opportunity and requires affected employers hire without regard to race, religion, and other protected classes. So for instance universities using racial quotas was deemed unlawful precisely because of the Civil Rights Act.

DEI stuff was in a very different spirit that really ran against the ideals of the Civil Rights Act. For instance it compelled affected organizations to specifically endeavour to hire based on the race and other characteristics of applicants. It's not entirely clear to me why it wasn't tossed immediately as being in violation of the Civil Rights Act.

> or a good thing (energy efficiency)

It can't be energy efficiency. Energy efficiency causes energy consumption to increase. That's basic economics [0]. The argument, at best, is that the energy efficiency improvements are cancelling out the energy availability problems to the point where quality of life stays about the same. Although the type of efficiencies gains we'd need to see to cancel out a 33% drop would be so staggering to the point where it'd be a major deal to the point where nobody would be able to stop pointing at the UK's outrageous success as an international beacon of Quality of Life improvements.

The actual message seems to be that they're having a lot of troubles and QoL is dropping.

They actually do, though. As an example, a Paki rupee in 2018 was trading at 130 to 1 USD. It's now down to 85 to 1 USD. Meanwhile, USDT was trading at 1:1USD in 2018 and is currently trading at 1:1.
When you burn fuel, the weight of the CO2 aproximately x3 the weight of the fuel [1]. The density of fuel and liquid CO2 is very similar, so the storage tank of the CO2 must be almost x3 the size of the fuel tank. Also, the hard part is not "capturing" the CO2 in a tank for a week, but capturing it for a few thousand (millions) of years because you must change it to a stable chemical form that can be buried.

[1] Fuel is essentially H-CH2-CH2...-H, simplifying many CH2. When burned, the H goes away as water and the C as CO2. So the weight changes from 14 to 44
This looks great!

While we're at it, is there already some kind of standardized local storage location/scheme for LLM models? If not, this project could potentially be a great place to set an example that others can follow, if they want. I've been playing with different runtimes (Ollama, vLLM) the last days, and I really would have appreciated better interoperability in terms of shared model storage, instead of everybody defaulting to downloading everything all over again.
> Hopefully this new project can deal with all the crazy dynamic stuff python allows you to get away with.

Unlikely. It's best not to write code like that in the first place.
To make it AI really boring all those projects need to be more approachable to non-tech savvy people, e.g. some minimal GUI for searching, listing, deleting, installing ai models. I wish e.g. this or ollama could work more as invisible AI models dependency manager. Right now every app that want to have STT like whisper will bundle such model inside. User waste more memory storage and have to wait to download big models. We had similar problems with and static libraries and then moved to dynamic linking libraries.

I wish your app could add some model as dependency and on install would download only if such model is not avialable locally. Also would check if ollama is installed and only bootstrap if also doesn't exist on drive. Maybe with some nice interface for user to confirm download and nice onboarding.
