Just a couple of years ago, activists painted a listed building in Norway that also costed about 100k USD to clean

Maybe someone can put Claude Fable on it

I will actually argue that it is very useful and wish that more people started to be more specific about their faith. Firstly, stating that one is Catholic/Lutheran/... demonstrates that one understand that one is not representing the entire Christianity. Secondly, it is useful for discussion as it makes one's dogmas/axioms more explicit. And thirdly, it allows better granularity as some general teachings are really Christian (like the resurrection and most of the Credo) while other are specific to the tradition one follows (like the sacraments).

For example, a Catholic would hesitate to receive a "Christian eucharist" as the Catholic and protestant understanding of the Eucharist is so profoundly different

A final point, given the subject of the thread, is that since the Catholic Church regards itself as founded by Christ, it is older than the Bible, and that the Bible was primarily written by the Church, for the Church, to complement Tradition. They would consider splintering off Tradition and leaving Catholicism as moving away from Christ (as Christ is head of the Catholic Church)

This looks really interesting! I am studying "knowledge-heavy" subjects with lots of facts I need to learn, and have been looking for software where I can write flashcards directly within my notes, and both review them when reading my notes, and globally across notes. I like to have my notes locally, so I didnt find any good solutions. But there are some parsers for anki that can process markdown documents and extract items within them

> The phds should be spending their time learning and doing research, not managing admin software

I guess we could also flip it and ask why don't we offer PhDs in developing software for public administration?

One possible solution could be to give you an option to send the affected password as a list to the mail address you specify, then only people with access to that mail address will see them

Getting backups right _is_ difficult and can easily be quite stressful. Yes, having some external drives here and there with files would of course be helpful. But then, should you encrypt them in case of theft? Where to keep them in case of fire? What to do with "old" backups (can I trust the drive to live more than 2 years? 5 years?), copy them over to new drives? But what then with duplicated files? I think having backups in the cloud is currently the best "backup and forget" strategy

I guess the paper would be complete enough to publish as a preprint at the stage where this specific service is most useful

Great! Also, checking journal author guidelines is usually very boring and time consuming, so that would be a nice addition! Like, pasting the guidelines in full and getting notified if I am not following some specs

I'll hopefully get to test it soon. To me, LLMs have so far been great for proofreading and getting suggestions for alternative - perhaps more fluent - phrasings. One thing that immediately struck me, though: having 'company' in the URL makes me think corporate and made me much more skeptical than a more generic name would.

Thank you, but what do you use the llm for? Writing new documents based on previous ones? Tagging/categorization/summarization/lookup? RAG? Extracting structured data from them?

But what do you do with these secrets? Like tagging emails, summarizing documents?

Thank you, this is a great example!

What use cases are people using local LLMs for? Have you created any practical tools that actually increase your efficiency? I've been experimenting a bit but find it hard to get inspiration for useful applications

That's not the point. While there is a temperature setting and randomness involved, you can still benchmark and experience significant differences in the output between models and generations. I thus provided more details and the full output to make it easier for people to assess the context of the comment I replied to

When someone uses the same tools as I do but seem to experience problems I do not have - these kind of posts often describes how bad LLMs are or how bad Google search is - I get a bit confused. Is it A/B testing going on? Am I just lucky? Am I inattentive to these weaknesses? Is it about promoting? Or what areas we work in? Do we actually use the same tools (i.e., same models)?

It's difficult to assess how typical your experience is; I tried your initial prompt (`Write me a simple todo app on cloudflare with auth0 authentication.` on gemini-2.5-pro-preview-05-06) and didn't get any mentions of @auth0-cloudfare, although I cannot verify if the answer is working as-is

Sorry, I wasn't aware the page parameter when pasting the link so don't read anything into that, I have not personally posted in that thread. But I strongly support H_Express in his case that dated models should not suddenly be redirected to another endpoint

I think it's also important to recognize that while the Catholic church has values and principles they adhere to and are unlikely to change because they are so deeply founded in tradition and scripture - for example, that marriage (as in the sacrament) is between a man and a woman - the "men of the cloth" are expected to take care of their ministry as caring and loving sheperds. But that process is often based on personal and individual relationships and they will not reach headlines in the media.

> For latex, you choose your target at the start

Yes, sometimes, but I would say that one of the benefits of latex is how easy you can switch to another layout. But I guess the point is that you typically render to a set of outputs with fixed dimensions (pdf)

I think this is also a good argument for why it is beneficial for society that Chrome stays in Alphabet; Google is good at some things and bad at some things - that people have access to a reasonably safe browser for free should not be underestimated

Re shady company: the possibility of some shady foreign governmental agency getting control of Chrome, through layers of shell companies, is terrifying to think about. This possibility hasn't been discussed much in this thread, perhaps surprisingly. The value of collecting data from or inserting backdoors into Chrome seems so massive that I find it hard to trust any but the existing large tech companies to have the skills and infrastructure to keep it safe (keeping the pager bombs story in mind)

A large systematic review from 2023 was unable to conclude what positive consequences school lunches would have in Norway, as there is too little research from comparable countries.

The report: https://www.fhi.no/contentassets/97c17432815a4b2291e34140748... Results translated with chatgpt:

> In general, the results from the Nordic literature were inconsistent, and several of the studies were of low quality. The majority of studies from the Nordic countries indicated that a free school meal (breakfast or lunch) had a positive effect on some dietary outcomes. Furthermore, the results suggest that a free school meal may help reduce social disparities in diet.

> A total of three Nordic studies examined the relationship between free school meals and weight, with one study showing increased weight, another showing increased waist circumference, and one showing no change as a result of a free school meal. Two Nordic studies investigated the effect of a free school meal on academic performance, but neither found a clear positive effect.

> None of the Nordic studies found a link between free school meals and absenteeism (two studies), well-being (two studies), or the school environment (two studies).

> Regarding sustainability, only one study from Denmark examined the impact on food waste. The results showed that a warm school meal led to more food waste compared to a packed lunch brought from home.

> Two studies examining the long-term effects of free school meals, implemented in the Nordic countries between the 1920s and 1940s, found that the school meal led to longer schooling and increased income.

Rmarkdown, or now Quarto, is trying to improve scientific writing by combining writing and analysis (somewhat similar to Jupyter). I really like how you can get multiple outputs (html, pdf, word, ...) and easily change formatting (like latex).

However, it is difficult to beat Word and google docs when it comes to collaborative writing, and especially collaborating with labs having another workflow. The trackdown package offers a bridge - I think this is a space with many low-hanging fruits that can really improve research efficiency if developed further

I suspect many of these tools, including LogSeq, draw inspiration from Emacs and Org mode - the current version of LogSeq even supports org synatx!

But I've tried to dive into Org mode twice in the past five years, each time committing a few weeks to learning it. However, I eventually gave up and returned to Logseq. The steep learning curve was the biggest hurdle for me. Between understanding Lisp, figuring out and choosing between all the possible configurations and workflows, memorizing the keyboard shortcuts, and working through YouTube tutorials, the friction and mental load were just too high.

Logseq, on the other hand, provided most of the features [1] I needed while keeping the barrier to entry much lower - far, far lower than Emacs. But LogSeq is by no means perfect; I fear it will become bloated at some point (e.g., I have no interest in flashcards and spaced repetition learning)

[1] Outliner; data kept local; journal; simple task management; easy to insert quotes, code snippets, images; backlinks; possible to attach files

I like outliers too! I think the best opensource option, besides emacs, is logseq which is now developing a tag concept very close to Tana's supertag: https://test.logseq.com/

They are looking for a name for the concept, so suggestions are welcome!

Do you have a source for this? I've never heard anyone claim that they written so early. For Catholics at least, I think it's a point that the Church and some Tradition are older than the Gospels, i.e. that the Gospels are written by the Church, for the Church (not the other way around)

I guess you would be able to count the number of clean keys and thus know both the number of distinct digits and the digits (but not the order nor which digit that's repeated)
