Until a certain Austrian painter decided to practice eugenics in a uniquely negative way, the term was value neutral.

The motor bus was hailed as a eugenic invention because it helped prevent inbreeding in small villages, for instance.


This is incorrect in that the term was not neutral before WW2 nor was Nazi Germany Eugenics really unique. Taking these claims one at a time:

>the term was value neutral.

By the late 1930s the academic community had largely moved on from eugenics, the catholic church denounced it 1930 with their Casti Connubii, the Eugenics Office Records closing in 1935 and finally Laughlin retiring in 1939. (The leading Eugenicist)In 1930s being a Eugenics was viewed much like homeopathy is viewed today.

Eugenics in the united states saw the rise of the "Moron Laws" and mass sterilization of marginalized communities in the US. In fact, Nazi Germany's Eugenics policies were largely inspired by US Eugenic legislation and actively promoted by US Eugenicist. (Particularly California) Heck mass sterilization programs in the US didn't even die with WW2 continuing into mid 1970s.

It would make sense to just make the GUI a separate project, they could call it llama.gui.

It would make even more sense to rename it to ollama, get a copyright for the name, and see how thieves complain they've been robbed :>


LlamaBarn is the MacOS app, not the HTTP API server, which is "llama-server".

On non-Apple PCs, "llama-server" is what you use, and you can connect to it either with a browser or with an application compatible with the OpenAI API.

Perhaps using "llama-server" as the name of the project would have been less confusing for newbies than "llama.cpp".

I confess that when I first heard about "llama.cpp" I also thought that it is just a library and that I have to write my own program in order to implement a complete LLM inference backend.


There's already an ipv8 https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1621

There's also at least three ipv9s, only one of which was a joke https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IP_version_numbers


Already been done, albeit without the webgpu part. I think some browsers already block crypto miners

It's a shame in a way, it also blocked the pseudo-captchas that used mining to limit spam.


Also, as many teenagers know, it's trivial to get a fake ID card.

The main opposition party in Russia is the Communist party. Their leader was one of the first to call for a general mobilisation.

I imagine the record companies and shareholders.

It would look bad if they did nothing, so a few 100k on legal theatre is worth it for them. Now they can say it's the US courts that are powerless.


That's true, but they're also very vulnerable to ground based LASERs.

Or possibly viasat.

Formal verification to EAL7[0] in theory, as long as your requirements are correct.

In practice I'm not aware of any bugs being discovered in any EAL7 software, but it's so expensive there isn't a lot of it.
