😱 🤣 real final boss is Canon Law 285, though, which basically tells clerics they can’t play in the sandbox of secular politics

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.
So, no Python environment mess, just one file that runs everywhere. It uses the ggml library to run the models (GGUF, also quantized) directly on your hardware (CPU, Metal, CUDA or Vulkan). github.com/CrispStrobe/...
It is a single C++ binary that extends the familiar Whisper interface to support 10+ other state-of-the-art model families from Mistral (Voxtral), NVIDIA (Canary, Parakeet), Cohere (Transcribe) and others. It also brings language identification (LID), chunking (VAD), etc, to all of those.
Running speech-to-text recognition (ASR) privately on your own machine is easily doable e.g. with Whisper.cpp. If you want to go beyond that, you might find this little (and early-stage) project useful:
CrispASR starts from Whisper.cpp and turns it into a more universal tool:
Absolutely remarkable statement from Pope Leo today.
One for the history books

Ich schlage vor, das Geschehen nicht in eine Richtung hin zu deuten, sondern unterschiedliche Entwicklungspfade im Blick zu haben.
Die Anschlussfrage ist dann: Welche Umweltbedingungen machen welche Pfade wahrscheinlicher?
Ein Parlamentsprotokoll dokumentiert, wie die Diyanet ihre Europastrategie intern darstellt.
Welche institutionellen Dynamiken sind plausiblerweise am Werk, wenn eine staatlich gesteuerte Religionsbehörde (Diyanet/DITIB) auf europäischen Anpassungsdruck trifft?
afaik the case is pretty clear cut. Alexandra Laignel-Lavastine covered this extensively (see e.g. www.academia.edu/8532673/Over... )
Pope Leo’s Easter message to the world: ‘Let those who have weapons lay them down!’ religionnews.com/2026/04/05/p... @clairegiangrave.bsky.social
Pope Leo XIV carried the cross across all fourteen stations for over an hour.
The prayers named children who had been “taken away and imprisoned during protests, deported by policies devoid of compassion, shipwrecked on desperate journeys of hope, killed in war zones, and wiped out in death camps.”
I know legal scholars are supposed to stop making legal arguments and just make moral/political ones, but can I get an exception here?
From the archive: "“Everybody knows the plague is coming”: Thinking the Apocalypse with Leonard Cohen", by Simone Webb #Philosophy #Philsky
how much Augustine, Gregory etc knew early critique against Plotinus (matter=autokakon) (Iamblichus?, Middle Platonic/Porphyrian channels), is +- unclear; evidently later Pseudo-Dionysius linked Neoplatonic parhypostasis (Proclus, Simplicius/Philoponus) & privatio

(actually, i have been doing the same from command line with the python app github.com/CrispStrobe/... for some time now, but i hear others like graphical user interfaces better, so feel free to try this)
If you use it with a local backend (@ollamabot.bsky.social, #llama.cpp , #mlx, #mistral-rs), every step runs on your device; nothing leaves your machine unless you configure a cloud provider (it supports EU-based ones, e.g. #Nebius @scaleway.com, or #Mistral).
If you download hoards of documents daily, and could use them automatically sorted, here is a tool you might find useful:
an AI-powered document organiser. Drop in a bunch of PDFs or DOCX files — it extracts Document Text, identifies Title, Author, & Year from each, & sorts them structured.
Jürgen Habermas (1929-2026): Debates, Memories, Obituaries

‘He had an endless curiosity and zest for debate, and an eagerness to understand the younger generation. Following a guest lecture, he would sometimes spend the evening in a corner of the pub, entertaining students’

"Wer den Algorithmus von X nutzt, teilt dann eher rechte Positionen. Das ist die Kurzfassung einer Studie europäischer Universitäten." @brodnig.bsky.social
Data on the religious composition on 13 European countries collated by @ryanburge shows how very secular big parts of Europe have become. Catholic strongholds appear to holdout somewhat better.
Noch ist der Nachfolger Khameneis nicht verkündet. Doch klar ist heute: Die Debatte um die Nachfolge des verstorbenen Revolutionsführers Ali Khamenei ist weit mehr als ein Machtkampf um die Spitze des Staates. Sie ist ein Grundsatzstreit um das Erbe jener

sounds fine?
Iran steht nach dem Tod Ali Khameneis vor einer Zäsur, die zugleich Systemkrise und Stresstest für die ideologische Substanz der Islamischen Republik ist. Der Frage, ob sich eine „Dritte Revolutionsführung“ noch einmal neu legitimieren kann, bleibt offen.

wenn alles funktioniert, stimmen nach dem Tooleinsatz auch die Formatvorlagen (mit dem Musterdokument 1 überein)...
you can either startup the gradio app (python transplant-app.py) or just use the cli app (format_transplant.py).
if you use the optional llm path, your data of course goes to that too.
a comparison table for provider options with a focus on data sovereignty: llmproviders.vercel.app
the demo i linked is a huggingface space, so your data is technically routed to a US based service provider. but you can in a few minutes set this up on your own provider, or just run it locally in your terminal shell. you only need python and a few libraries. see github.com/CrispStrobe/... :
