There is probably a small amount of intellect causing health, some good genes cause both, but if I had to guess at the largest effect, it would be that even if you are very smart, it is hard to be effective at producing real results if you are unhealthy.
So famous scientists come from a population that is smart and healthy.
Oh wait. Maybe you have a Mac with tons of unified memory?
At 70B parameters? 3.3 t/s is equivalent to a fairly fast human typist, but not so fast I don't pick and choose what to ask it. Works pretty well with Continue AI. But the default context window in ollama is kinda small if I need it to look at more than a few files.
I get about 3.5 tokens/sec. A 5090 is tempting simply because it would cut RAM bound performance in half.
Which model? So far llama3.3 is my only tolerable local model. But it is throttled by the speed my ram can feed the remaining 18GB to my CPU. So mostly I talk to my CPU I guess even though the GPU is doing 4/7 of the work.
Ha! This is my most followed account on any platform with 300+. I did briefly top 100 on twitter before I pruned all the bots.
I am the inverse of the Dos Equis man. The least interesting man in the world! I don't always drink beer.. I have an allergy. It makes me stuffy and get migraines.
And drat I miscounted. But Japan be darned, I like it.
Ah the simile
like a good metaphor
but without the teeth.
I'm sure you know what I'll ask next
As the random lass
Who called me an ass
How does a man sing in text?
The dream is to take a bin full of hand-tools to a parcel of land, and be given 5 years to craft it into a home using whatever is at hand. Should be a right a passage after which a young man is eligible to marry.
The scientist and the engineer
Though the abstract world hold dear
Oft will wander down the street
To creative works more concrete
That is what the alchemists thought, and those seeking the fountain of youth. Every age recycles its hope of eternal life onto the human advances of their day. Every time frustrated men die, failing to give themselves that which God has already granted.
What are hell threads? Turtlenecks and corduroy with polyester socks?
I have a thesis I want to run by my fellow #christians. Maybe I'm just rediscovering postmillennialism, or historic premillennialism, or something, but some of this seems original.
There are two halves of Biblical/world history: Creation and New Creation. Creation's head is Adam, whose commission is dominion. New Creation's head is Jesus, whose commission to evangelism. Dominion involves subduing physical reality to human ingenuity; i.e. technology. New creation involves subduing humanity to divine love.
We are told that this world is going to wear out like a garment, and be rolled up like a scroll, prompting apocalypticism throughout history. Yet Jesus says that the Kingdom is with you, and that it is the latter days. This is conventionally explained by the "already not yet", that New Creation is latent within our earthly lives.
But what if that is true beyond just the devotional? Jesus says the kingdom of heaven is like leaven, and we take that to mean that our souls are being saved. But what if the world itself is being saved? What if every rock, tree, ocean, cloud is being invisibly, slowly suffused by the Good News of Christ's immanent lordship over the earth? What if New Creation is slowly covering Old Creation like moss covering a rock, and when the rock crumbles away the moss will retain its shape? What if the new creation is already here, and is no less physical for it's being spiritual, and when "we see him face to face" and are changed, the rest of the world — including nature and the physical stuff we've built — are suddenly changed as well?
This fits with the idea of the "garden city" — in the Bible, cities come first, and then God irrupts into their center (for example Solomon's and Ezekiel's Temples), changing their entire nature, purpose, and organization.
This seems to me to reconcile God's apparent intention to discard this world in favor of a "new" one with his obvious love of what he has made. Thoughts? Hallucinations?

Romans 8:19-22 For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the children of God; for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and will obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. We know that the whole creation has been groaning in labor pains until now;
My main keyboard is mechanical with mx cherry clear switches. The activation is kinda heavy though and that does add to the challenge. My laptop is a Lenovo X1 Carbon gen 6. That keyboard is hard to top for raw typing speed.
I am not sure what my deal is, but I struggle with anything that requires reflexive control of my fingers. Never could play instruments beyond basics, or play video games that require fast combos.
Might be some kind of trade-off, I am quite good with conscious control, which lets me do complex manipulation and assembly tasks, but am too hardwired finger-to-brain to relenquish control to my spine.
No, something is wrong with me. I am a touch typist. I have done various forms of practice including in primary school. My brain simply won't go faster than 30wpm.
Not sure who thinks it is pleasant. I don't mind having AI do the typing, I can't top 30wpm, but it had better type exactly what I want it to type.
Just the one?
Well yes it was a bit ago. We have 17 children between us now. So Id call it a success. That was 13 years ago though. My brother has since had success on it. But that was 7 years ago. He only has his 4th child in the way. So maybe not as effective as it once was?
I just realized that at our wedding, the best man met his wife on Catholic Match and the maid of honor met her husband the same way.
