It’s not that hard to use llama.cpp directly anyway. Why would I use a wrapper when I can just run a python script?

For thoses that want clarification. Endotoxins are toxins that are present on the surface of bacteria. On ingestion it provoke an immune response like fever or likely an anaphylactic choc that can lead to death.

Just to add a bit of practical information (in case somebody desperate is reading this in five years), they’re very hard to separate from other things and tend to stick around largely invisibly. Very small amounts can provoke deadly immune responses. Labs who do make endotoxin free samples often have entirely separate sets of equipment for endotoxin free preps.

What we really need for companies or non-profits to take the expired patent versions of these drugs and produces them cheaply and safely.

Please google endotoxins before attempting this. It’s really, really important to work with pure and sterilized samples.

Yeah, I had seen the OT-2 before. I’m not sure it quite reaches the standard I’m looking for, but it might be the best I can hope for. The user manual seems to document a lot even if I’d like a more details on a lot of things. I’m certainly not paying 3k for a pipette and a subscription to over priced tips, but maybe someone has documented some mix of casting and 3D printing that to make a more sensible pipette. Ideally, we’d have open blueprints and repair manuals, but maybe there’s enough of a community around it to make it the best starting place.

I study proteins and I chatter on about them, but once in a rare while I’ll talk to a normal person and they’ll say “like, the food group” or in introductions I’ll say I’m a structural biologist and some people look at me blankly then say something about “bone structure”. It kills me a little inside.

Apologies, I think we are talking past each other. I think I misunderstood your initial comment. It read like a suggestion that lemmy’s more extreme communities were terroristic and a criticism of the first amendment, which suggested that you believe the government should be allowed to dictate what kind of speech is or isn’t acceptable – in particular on these little platforms. My comment was in response to that notion.

Re-reading it with your second comment, I think you’re saying that “terrorist ideologies” have been allowed to develop on conventional social-media by claiming first amendment protections in order to not moderate communities, and 2016 was not in reference to early lemmy but to the MAGA movement. That makes more sense, and I generally agree that conventional social-media follows irresponsible stewardship practices.

Turning to authorities to suppress fascism doesn’t seem practical. We need to cultivate good democratic systems and education systems that create citizens capable of thinking critically and turning down bad ideologies on their own. Citizens should be empowered, not coddled.

FOSS dominates by sheer persistence growing slowly as everything else burns bright and extinguishes until it’s the best remaining option.

It’s the slow way, but it’s the right way.

Fair enough, but in that case your argument seems in favor of staying with established systems even when central figures in those systems are corrupt. It’s hard not to sympathize with the impulse to separate from systems with prominent corruption, but perhaps there is an argument to be made about the need to tolerate some level of corruption for sake of social structure.

This concept of structured communities creating diversity appeals to me. As structural biologists, we often say Structure is Function, and it’s obvious this concept applies to societal rules and systems as much as physical systems.

It’s not willful ignorance to block users, comms, or instances. I’ve been pushed to block news/politics comms across multiple lemmy instances just to save myself the time spent reading the smooth-brained mouth-breathers argue we should abandon money and build a utopia out of hopes and dreams.

there would mechanisms in place to educate

Could you imagine if he was quietly black sited and came back from lake laogai all “there is no war in ba sing se” upstanding citizen?

Also, I think this is more vocational training anyway, so probably not far off from the educational system you want anyway.

Very true, failed to turn Vance away from evil though.

I mean, … it’s not like he was successful.
