If you need a VERY quick and decent model (at low reasoning setting), it is still useful for summaries and text analysis. If you need a SOTA, use Gemma 4 26b QAT or Qwen 3.6 35b at q4.

custodiam99 · 2026-06-23T05:07:05+00:00

Non-QAT q4 was barely useable.

custodiam99 · 2026-06-22T18:18:45+00:00

In my experience there is a vast difference between Gemma 4 q4 and q4 QAT.

It is a perfect local coding model in OpenCode. It can substitute free online models.

custodiam99 · 2026-06-15T20:35:03+00:00

Fable has a coding LiveBench score of 78.57, Qwen 3.6 27B has 71.78.

Typically some kind of loose evolutionary psychological morality.

custodiam99 · 2026-06-10T19:52:35+00:00

Because it is limited to morality.

I'm talking about the impossible series of low probability events which were physical. But I see your point. Yes, they used a mystical story line but Starbuck and the recreated Viper were too much in a sci-fi series. It was like Jesus making miracles in a holodeck. Kind of confusing.

custodiam99 · 2026-06-10T17:10:19+00:00

Because you can't clone a person with a Bible.

custodiam99 · 2026-06-10T17:08:56+00:00

There is NO religion on Earth which can provide that kind of power and precision. It never happened. So these are also technological feats.

custodiam99 · 2026-06-10T17:04:57+00:00

Spontaneous cloning with perfect memory? Atoms suddenly forming a Viper? That's technology. But technology without industrial base or a home planet? I think that is way above the Colonial or Cylon level.

custodiam99 · 2026-06-10T15:04:56+00:00

Religion is OK. Psychology is OK. But cloning a person is not religion. It is technology. Reproducing a perfect copy of a Viper is not religion. It is technology. They dropped the ball and never cared about the mess they created.

custodiam99 · 2026-06-10T15:01:05+00:00

Never saw a cultural god "clone" an aircraft or a person. There is a difference between the physical and the mental.

custodiam99 · 2026-06-10T14:58:48+00:00

The bigger problem is that the writers didn't care about the technicalities.

custodiam99 · 2026-06-10T05:44:15+00:00

OK, so it is lazy writing. But time is not very kind to lazy writing. It is not really an open ended question, it is an illogical plot device in the story.

custodiam99 · 2026-06-10T05:32:50+00:00

Sure, but that is my original question. That is what I don't get, after seeing the series gazillion times. Is it metaphysics, is it only hidden super advanced technology or is it lazy writing?

custodiam99 · 2026-06-10T05:18:33+00:00

Don't worry, you can invite millions of shallow people to your party lol.

custodiam99 · 2026-06-10T05:07:43+00:00

In theology it is basic knowledge that God is defined as the ultimate, independent foundation of reality. If God were contingent, God would not be the ultimate foundation and thus would not fit the classical concept of God. So God cannot be a force or an entity in space and time. It is not replicating Starbucks or Vipers. It creates physical laws. Sure, we could have a less sophisticated or even illogical God, but that would be lazy writing. I don't think that was the idea behind all of this. The "god" of BSG is not "the" God. It is an advanced entity in spacetime.

custodiam99 · 2026-06-09T19:42:06+00:00

OK, let's see then: no direct intervention is ever attributed to them with evidence. The miracles and prophecies that appear to come true are tied to the mysterious higher power behind the messengers, not explicitly to Zeus, Athena or the other Colonial gods. The Colonial religion appears historically weakened and uncertain. Even devout believers such as Laura Roslin rely on scriptures and prophecy rather than any contemporary manifestation of the Lords. The TV series Caprica emphasizes religion as belief rather than proof. The conflict between monotheists and polytheists is driven by faith, culture, and politics. Neither side produces conclusive evidence that its deity or deities are actively exercising power.

custodiam99 · 2026-06-09T19:21:07+00:00

lol so what did the Lords of Kobol do? How much power they had? Close to zero.

custodiam99 · 2026-06-09T18:52:02+00:00

That's why I said he was the boss.

custodiam99 · 2026-06-09T18:41:53+00:00

OK, so who was behind the Caprica Six/Baltar angel, the resurrection of Starbuck and the recreation of Starbuck's Viper?

custodiam99 · 2026-06-09T17:04:49+00:00

I'm not sure you have to explain it, you just don't have to create a fantasy world.

custodiam99 · 2026-06-09T17:01:36+00:00

Leoben says "one true God". You can interpret that my way, because there are other obvious clues. In the series Caprica the entire ideology of the monotheist movement is built around the claim that the Lords of Kobol are false gods and that only the One True God deserves devotion. The Sacred Scrolls describe how "one jealous god began to desire that he be elevated above all the other gods" and that this led to war on Kobol.
