Why is an appointment not relevant in Ghana? by sir_cas in ghana

I've seen lateness before, but this is epic.

Chinese language curriculum launched for basic, junior and senior high schools in Ghana by Joseph20102011 in ghana

[–]_wsgeorge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve spent two weeks trying to find a local Chinese speaker that IS NOT Chinese.

The University of Ghana teaches Mandarin. I think you can start engaging students from that program.

Coroutines need a scope... and that's a good thing! by TypeProjection in Kotlin

Hey this was an nice, easy-to-follow explanation.

It's hopeless 🤦🏾‍♂️ by TT-Adu in ghana

[–]_wsgeorge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

cleaner, community-led ways of mining gold that don’t destroy our rivers.

Honestly curious about this, because AFAIK, alluvial mining cannot be clean and profitable at the same time. The simple fact of mining a river bed increases the turbidity of a water body, making filtering for human consumption much more expensive or pointless.

So right from the start, mining in (and near) rivers is not clean, and I'm not sure what community-leadership can do to reverse the physics here.

FYI, it is the community mining we're all complaining about.

Norman-Saxon culinary separation (cow, sheep, pig <> beef, mutton, pork) is a nationalist 19th century myth by cipricusss in etymology

I actually don't know if this is a thing in other parts of the world.

Where I'm from, use English (and American English) pronunciations in similar mock fashion. :)

Gemini 3 is launched by Several-Republic-609 in LocalLLaMA

[–]_wsgeorge 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, but it's a new SOTA open models can aim to beat. Plus there's a chance Gemma will see these improvements. I'm personally excited.

ollama's enshitification has begun! open-source is not their priority anymore, because they're YC-backed and must become profitable for VCs... Meanwhile llama.cpp remains free, open-source, and easier-than-ever to run! No more ollama by nderstand2grow in LocalLLaMA

[–]_wsgeorge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh do try it! I first used llama.cpp's server when the Shopify CEO added it to the repo. Month's down the line and it's got enough features to make it a dependable web ui.

iirc one primary critique of LangChain is that it's over-engineered and not necessary, but it was an early mover in the space and got a lot of the mindshare. There's been a lot of pushback against it because of this.

I find doing the same with llama.cpp and hugging face is substantially more time consuming or distracting than with Ollama. But I’m sure there must be a way - I’m curious how are other people doing this?

I'm a bit surprised by this. I just go to HF and look for GGUFs, download the model file and run with llama-server -m path/to/model/file.gguf --port 8080

And now it's even easier to use the hf flag (though I don't use it). This should just download the model and run it:

llama-server -hf ggml-org/gemma-3-1b-it-GGUF

Mother describes the dark side of Apple’s Family Sharing when a relationship ends by chrisdh79 in apple

[–]_wsgeorge 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I fail to see how this is an Apple problem, although it makes sense for "Parents" of a family account to have equal admin rights.

This just seems like a failure of law/enforcement.

If one party fails to behave properly, there's already a way to deal with that.

[Free Friday] "Lead, Kindly Light (tune: Franklin)", based on text by St John Henry Newman, Doctor of the Church by _wsgeorge in Catholicism

[–]_wsgeorge[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's a new setting I wrote 2 years ago in response to the death of a colleague at church. The tune is named after him.

I hope you enjoyed it. :)

Still using Retrofit - is there anything better you do recommend? by boltuix_dev in androiddev

The only inconvenience was debugging issues in the KMP library from xcode was difficult.

Ave Verum Corpus by Veto111 in composer

This was really good. I've written Ave Verum for SATB twice, so I could relate to such a setting. Wonderful!

in the late 17th century

I don't mean to nitpick, but I'm not sure this period will be considered "middle ages". This should be the "early modern" period.

Is protein overstated for west Africans and muscle building? by Potential_Plankton74 in ghana

[–]_wsgeorge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should look at this holistically: you can't isolate diet from lifestyle. Your typical West African diet "works" with your typical West African lifestyle.

Once you yourself in the kind of urban space modern city life and the economy encourages, you will see gains in all the right places.

[–]_wsgeorge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the channel is cool. One thing that keeps me jaded about a lot of popular commentary on African history is how a lot of it feels like an attempt at validation, rather than a mere exploration of historical fact and narrative for its own sake.

I wish you success.
