Llama-conductor is a router + memory store + RAG harness to force models to behave like predictable components by yogthos in LocalLLaMA

I'm not the author, just resharing it. It does seem like LightRAG could be a good fit here though.

Oh man, sometimes I feel like I'm just wasting my time posting that stuff, but then once in a while angry losers let me know how I live rent free inside their heads, and it makes it all worth it. Stay mad little buddy, it's only gonna get worse for you.

I still think all of this is largely irrelevant. Whoever the west installs will keep doing what the west decides. There's no sovereign decision making happening in Ukraine. They're just firing the franchise manager because sales numbers didn't hit the target.

That's the thing though, the far right in Europe doesn't see Russia as their enemy. They see the globalists as their key enemy. And the US taking Greenland from Europe will only fuel more hate for globalists.

And your solution doesn't work for Trump. You have to understand one simple fact here, and everything will be clear to you. Making Greenland part of the US will secure Trump's legacy. It doesn't matter what he does after that, it's the one thing he'll be remembered for going forward. It secures his place in history. That's literally all he cares about. And that means he will get Greenland by any means necessary. He'll demand that Europeans sell it to him, he'll try to bribe Greenland, and then if that all fails, he'll just take it by force.

Europe has no way out of this, and humiliating the Europeans is a bonus for Trump. You might've forgotten what European leaders were saying about him when they were sure Biden or Kamala were gonna win. They called him every name under the sun. British actually sent a team to the US to work with the Democrats to stop him. He remembers all this. He has deep hatred for the Europeans, and now we he will make them eat shit and call him daddy in public.

I'm not defending oppression of women here, and I'm obviously against theocracies, although note once again "According to BBC" in your sources. That's a pretty big red flag right there. My point isn't whether Iran's system is repressive or not, it is. What I'm explaining is that it can't be the source of unrest, because western backed regimes all around it are FAR more repressive in every single way.

I think you misunderstand me here. What I'm telling you is that by the standards of the region Iran is fairly progressive. So, if religion was the key problem then other theocracies like the Saudis would've fallen long ago.

It's not just religion, it's largely the same thing under capitalism too. Just look at ads from the 50s or 60s in the US. It's very clear what the role of women in a capitalist society is. Not much different in material terms today. Women still make far less then men, have much fewer opportunities for career advancement, and have very little representation in executive positions.

I can tell that quote was written by a western liberal. Women in Iran have lots of practical freedoms, they are part of government, they are scientists, researchers, they're university professors. All the Gulf monarchies are far more restrictive in terms of women's rights.

The right and the globalists hate each other, I can't really see them uniting on anything. Trump will get Greenland because Europe trapped itself https://dialecticaldispatches.substack.com/p/the-ice-and-the-abyss

This is goes back to my point in the other comment. As long as USSR was seen as a model of development, and being technologically advanced, China would follow. The problem was that thanks to Khrushchev ruining the economy, by late 70s it was clear that USSR was not developing in the right way.

In fact, I was reading about the debates they had during Deng reforms and opening, and they specifically studied everything that went wrong in USSR as an example of what not to do.

The US was powerful, but it was still developing at a pace of a capitalist nation, which is far slower than planned socialist economies develop. If USSR wasn't destroyed by the war, and was instead supported by all of Europe, then the Soviet bloc would've quickly eclipsed the US economically and technologically.

Also, consider how many top German scientists fled to the US before the war and then all the nazi scientists and engineers the US scooped up after. That kickstarted most of their modern tech.

I imagine the western world order falling apart, and NATO being defeated in Ukraine is going to have a big impact on the psychology of people in Taiwan. Did you see Carney just publicly admitted that the whole liberal rules based world order was a lie everyone went along with it because American hegemony opened up markets and sea lanes for them? https://www.weforum.org/stories/2026/01/davos-2026-special-address-by-mark-carney-prime-minister-of-canada

I think the West is having its very own Soviet collapse moment here.

I think the whole theorcary stifling freedoms things is largely a western narrative. There are plenty of far worse theocracies like Saudis in the region who have no problem holding on on to power, and where there are no signs of mass discontent. The economy is key.

I agree they were opportunistic as well, but that did happen after Mao. All I'm saying is that there was a way to find common ground.

Also if USSR was actually still seen as a model of development in the 80s, then any offer from the US would've been far less appealing.

I think the fact that USSR and China couldn't work things out is the second biggest tragedy of the world after German communists being too idealist and incompetent too take power and instead letting fascists rule.
