Great.

I only get a line animation in the MacOS terminal app, under zsh, it doesn't look like the description.

Update: Just released v0.3.1 with Terminal.app compatibility fixed! The tool now auto-detects your terminal and adapts gracefully. You'll see a beautiful progressive breathing animation that flows like: Inhale: · → ○ → ●○○ → ●●●● (building up) Exhale: ●●●● → ●○○ → ○ → · (releasing down) Try the latest version - it should breathe beautifully on Terminal.app now. Thanks for helping make mindfulness accessible to everyone!

Thanks for the feedback! You're right. I haven’t tested it on Terminal.app yet. It works well on iTerm2 and most Linux terminals, but I’ll review it on Terminal.app soon and update the tool or the README to reflect compatibility. Really appreciate you pointing that out.

Feels so real, great work.

Any chance this could be made to emulate an Atari ST?

Hatari is already excellent? https://github.com/hatari/hatari

And there's also Clock Signal (CLK) "A latency-hating emulator of: the Acorn Electron and Archimedes, Amstrad CPC, Apple II/II+/IIe and early Macintosh, Atari 2600 and ST, ColecoVision, Enterprise 64/128, Commodore Vic-20 and Amiga, MSX 1/2, Oric 1/Atmos, early PC compatibles, Sega Master System, Sinclair ZX80/81 and ZX Spectrum." https://github.com/TomHarte/CLK

As an almost radiologist, it’s exciting to see how MRI technology is making these strides.

Another area that seems to be coming into its own is using hyperpolarized isotope Carbon 13 as a contrast agent. It can be incorporated into metabolites like pyruvate and show tissue with rapid uptake. This is used in the detection of cancer, where the cells are extremely hungry for glucose/pyruvate, a phenomenon known as the Warburg effect.

And even worse:

The researchers also highlighted a “survivor effect” in the U.S., where poorer individuals with worse health outcomes were more likely to die earlier, leaving behind a population that is healthier and wealthier as age groups progress. This creates the illusion that wealth inequality decreases over time, when in reality it’s partly due to the early deaths of the poorest Americans.

“Our previous work has shown that while wealth inequality narrows after 65 across the U.S. and Europe, in the U.S. it narrows because the poorest Americans die sooner and in greater proportion,” Papanicolas said.

CarPlay sends a H264/5 video stream from the iPhone to the car's head unit, and receives touchscreen, knob, etc. input in the other direction (afaik). I'm not sure if the video is encrypted, but it seem rather unlikely that the dongle could exfiltrate such an amount of data undetected.

Could this work with llama.cpp, since it’s the engine behind Ollama?

I usually build llama.cpp from source and download quantized (GGUF) models from Huggingface, haven’t used Ollama this far.

No, for now, I’ve only made it work with Ollama, but it could be ideal to do it directly on llama.cpp. Thank you, I’ll take note of it.

That would be great. Llama.cpp’s built in server offers HTTP embedding endpoints.

In all this discussion, I’d like to add a piece of interesting recent scientific discovery regarding the mechanism of action that might well explain the increase in neuroplasticity from psychedelics like psylocibin and LSD and offers hope that we will find drugs that have the positive neuroplasticy increasing effect without causing hallucinations [1].

Below the abstract of the mentioned research (BDNF is Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor, a kind of growth hormone for the brain), note the 1000 fold(!) higher affinity of the psychedelics:

Psychedelics produce fast and persistent antidepressant effects and induce neuroplasticity resembling the effects of clinically approved antidepressants. We recently reported that pharmacologically diverse antidepressants, including fluoxetine [= SSRI] and ketamine, act by binding to TrkB, the receptor for BDNF. Here we show that lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and psilocin directly bind to TrkB with affinities 1,000-fold higher than those for other antidepressants, and that psychedelics and antidepressants bind to distinct but partially overlapping sites within the transmembrane domain of TrkB dimers. The effects of psychedelics on neurotrophic signaling, plasticity and antidepressant-like behavior in mice depend on TrkB binding and promotion of endogenous BDNF signaling but are independent of serotonin 2A receptor (5-HT2A) activation, whereas LSD-induced head twitching is dependent on 5-HT2A and independent of TrkB binding. Our data confirm TrkB as a common primary target for antidepressants and suggest that high-affinity TrkB positive allosteric modulators lacking 5-HT2A activity may retain the antidepressant potential of psychedelics without hallucinogenic effects.

Wondering same. If my math is right, this was a 1/25 sec. exposure. (40/1000)
