Waiting for my 64GB M5 Pro Mini, hoping it will also be fun to tinker with for local AI

Don’t think that has anything to do with langlands..? Euclidean algorithm is literally just an explicit algorithm for prime factorisation

Can’t think of a less sloppy writer than Craig Mod…

Link to source for the breakthrough in inference compute? Are you talking about prefill?

PlantUML is a better ask for LLMs, you have a lot more control over the output

You said the v word!

I get 3-2-1 backups with no "big cloud" dependency using - My Mac - My NAS (RAID1) using Syncthing - Incremental borg backups to rsync.net (geo-redundant plan) with a cron job.

Tried to use it to solve a quintic equation and it didn’t work :(

"The exception of Area C" is doing a lot of work in this argument. That's 61% of the territory of the West Bank ("Judea and Samaria") (those scare quotes also doing a lot of work).

To counter your list of things that the PA does de facto control, I will add: who controls the criminal court system? The checkpoints which lead to the outside world? The airspace? The ability to import and export goods? The roads? The territorial contiguity of Areas A and B? The decisions on building new settlements?

Aside from the municipal things you mentioned, which in most places in the world are controlled by subnational entities, Israel is in de facto control of the lives and futures of all 15 million people "from the river to the sea", roughly half of them Jews and half of them Arabs, while only one of those groups has what anyone in the West could consider to be a normal existence.

My first thought with apps like this is always: couldn’t you do this in org mode?

Of course. But if this is the direction we’re going in, we need to try and do something no? Did you read the post I linked?

I’ve recently been thinking about this too, here is my idea: https://clintonboys.com/projects/lit/

Check out icloudpd. It’s a bit fiddly but it definitely does work once you have it set up.

Check you don’t have a circular import on your NAS. I had similar issues because I had my photos at /nas/photos and my Immich metadata folder configured as a subfolder of that. So it kept reindexing its own metadata.

How old are you?

That's where they left the Stargate!

It depends what you include in your definition of "parsing". For example, the chess master looks at the board and "parses" it in a very different way to the amateur player: he includes his knowledge of thousands of games played, analysis of potential future outcomes, and so on.

I think what you call “parsing” is largely indistinguishable from mastery in a lot of fields, particularly in abstract mathematics

This is a great example of one of those things in abstract maths that is hard to follow when you learn it, but once you’ve been through it a few times and learnt the definitions to heart it’s really just a rephrasing of the definitions.

Anyone have experience self hosting this?

Enshittification has made it to the Vatican…

Seems like AI was leaned on for the text as well…

> However, the two things must be mingled and varied, solitude and joining a crowd: the one will make us long for people and the other for ourselves, and each will be a remedy for the other; solitude will cure our distaste for a crowd, and a crowd will cure our boredom with solitude. (Seneca)

It’s David Wilson :)

Care to elaborate on why you think that? Which scenario do you see as most likely?

Disappointed this is not about the Joanna Newsom album :)

Agree with this. Added my digital garden to the list and then was excited to dig through all the other sites, a little disappointed to find most were just personal landing pages (but very nice looking and professional ones!) I guess Maggie and Kasper’s lists are still the gold standard for digital garden indices :)
