gemma:7b on ollama. prompt: prove that the sum of all interior angles in a triangle is 180Sure, here is a proof that the sum of all interior angles in a triangle is 180:In a triangle, there are three angles. Let's call them A, B, and C. We know that the sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180. This is because the sum of the angles in a triangle is equal to the sum of the angles in a straight line, which is 180.Therefore, the sum of all interior angles in a triangle is 180.

@beetle_b it's just a badly explained answer. the free gemini model is much better -- but can't be self-hosted.

When Alexander set out to conquer the Persian Empire, he borrowed much of the money with which to pay and provision his troops, and he minted his first coins, used to pay his creditors and continue to support the money, by melting down gold and silver plundered after his initial victories. However, an expeditionary force needed to be paid, and paid well: Alexander’s army, which numbered some 120,000 men, required half a ton of silver a day just for wages. For this reason, conquest meant that the existing Persian system of mines and mints had to be reorganized around providing for the invading army; and ancient mines, of course, were worked by slaves. In turn, most slaves in mines were war captives. Presumably most of the unfortunate survivors of the siege of Tyre ended up working in such mines. One can see how this process might feed upon itself.-- Debt: The First 5,000 Years

"You ain't pretty," he started in at his reflection. "You ain't that bright. You ain't that funny. Or charming. There’s nothing in you worth loving."Like an offering to the stirring serpent in his belly, he repeated his daily mantra aloud. His core truths to begin the day, bottoming himself out; that way the day could only get better from there.-- I Can Transform You by Maurice Broaddus

We are, nowadays, used to associating factories eighteen months in arrears for wages with a nation in economic free-fall, such as occurred during the collapse of the Soviet Union; but owing to the hard-money policies of the British government, who were always concerned above all to ensure that their paper money didn’t float away in another speculative bubble, in the early days of industrial capitalism, such a situation was in no way unusual. Even the government was often unable to find the cash to pay its own employees. In eighteenth-century London, the Royal Admiralty was regularly over a year behind in paying the wages of those who labored at the Deptford docks—one reason that they were willing to tolerate the appropriation of chips, not to mention hemp, canvas, steel bolts, and cordage. In fact, as Linebaugh has shown, the situation only really began to take recognizable form around 1800, when the government stabilized its finances, began paying cash wages on schedule, and therefore tried to abolish the practice of what was now relabeled “workplace pilfering”—which, meeting outraged resistance on the part of the dockworkers, was made punishable by whipping and imprisonment. Samuel Bentham, the engineer put in charge of reforming the dockyards, had to turn them into a regular police state in order to be able to institute a regime of pure wage labor—to which purpose he ultimately conceived the notion of building a giant tower in the middle to guarantee constant surveillance, an idea that was later borrowed by his brother Jeremy for the famous Panopticon.

When coins go out of circulation, after all, the metal doesn’t simply disappear. In the Middle Ages—and this seems to have been true across Eurasia—the vast majority of it ended up in religious establishments, churches, monasteries, and temples, either stockpiled in hoards and treasuries or gilded onto or cast into altars, sanctums, and sacred instruments. Above all, it was shaped into images of gods. As a result, those rulers who did try to put an Axial Age–style coinage system back into circulation—invariably, to fund some project of military expansion—often had to pursue self-consciously anti-religious policies in order to do so. Probably the most notorious was one Harsa, who ruled Kashmir from 1089 to 1101 AD, who is said to have appointed an officer called the “Superintendent for the Destruction of the Gods.” According to later histories, Harsa employed leprous monks to systematically desecrate divine images with urine and excrement, thus neutralizing their power, before dragging them off to be melted down. He is said to have destroyed more than four thousand Buddhist establishments before being betrayed and killed, the last of his dynasty—and his miserable fate was long held out as an example of where the revival of the old ways was likely to lead one in the end.-- Debt, The First 5,000 Years

The erlang-solution debs hadn't worked for me on Ubuntu 22.04 for a long time, but I tried them them again today and they installed painlessly.First, get the public key: mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings; curl -o /etc/apt/keyrings/erlang-solutions.asc https://binaries2.erlang-solutions.com/GPG-KEY-pmanager.ascCreate /etc/apt/sources.list.d/erlang-solutions.list withdeb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/erlang-solutions.asc] http://binaries2.erlang-solutions.com/ubuntu/ jammy-esl-erlang-26 contribRemove any existing erlang and elixir installs: apt remove erlang* elixirUpdate and install the new OTP 26: apt update && apt -y install esl-erlangI use asdf for elixir, since I have 1.14 and 1.16 installed for different projects.Elixir 1.17 is out and drops support for OTP 24.

@captainepoch @mischievoustomato @sleroq @newt https://old.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1dp08qi/matrix_server_software_which_one_to_choose/lae14g3/i tried conduit for a couple of days before i found that post, then switched to conduwuit. it was not a drop-in replacement like they claim -- it couldn't import my conduit database. (maybe because i was running a conduit nightly build.) conduwuit's focus right now, according to their issue tracker, is fewer features, more bugfixes.i am not familiar with matrix's room types, but i can't join #elixirlang:matrix.org using conduwuit (incompatible room error). i can join lemmy's dev room, and #pleroma:matrix.org. the main person i usually discuss matrix issues with is awol this weekend, so i haven't figured it out yet.
