I understand your hesitation on that and I would not let AI loose on my home computer, but I would consider letting AI help me find results isolated on another machine. AI is not yet implemented in #Yacy, and it will be optional. I am running Yacy, and there is no AI on it.

Yacy is #decentralized and there is no #censorship - that is why I use it for certain searches.

I spent a lot of my time at Codeplay wondering why it was so hard to build a disruptive technology company. A lot of what I ended up focusing on was the ecosystem. In technology, ecosystems are critical, especially for businesses. But they're not a direct revenue-generator, so they get overlooked. I thought I would start writing about it here: codeandrew.substack.com/p/why-… This is going to be a mix of tech and entrepreneurship. I hope it's both helpful to tech founders & also starts a good discussion

#RobReiner initially rose to fame playing Meathead, #ArchieBunker’s son-in-law, on the sitcom “All in the Family” in the 1970s. He then went on to become a remarkably versatile director and a force in California and national Democratic politics.

Reiner was the son of a pioneering television comedian who became a popular sitcom actor himself before directing a slate of beloved films including “This Is Spinal Tap,” “When Harry Met Sally …” and “The Princess Bride.”

QANT photonics accelerator does FP16.

Multiplies and adds aren’t converted to microinstructions, but they just happen in one element.

Photonics does the actual math cmos emulates.

And the companies building the best chips are European.. You don’t need 3nm foundries to build these.

Lately I’ve been studying Gnosticism.

To be blunt, most of it reads like total hokum. The cosmology is absurd. And despite what modern Gnostics insist, Nicene Christianity didn’t win solely because of persecution. State backing mattered, but so did the fact that “salvation by faith” is simple, portable, and easy to teach. A maze of demiurges, pleromas, and aeons is not.

And Nicenes weren’t the only critics. Pagans attacked Gnostics too. Plotinus wrote an entire treatise arguing that their “gnosis” was confused and philosophically incoherent—an awkward problem for a movement built on the claim that it possessed superior knowledge.

Neo-Gnostics still say the Church wiped them out. But that’s not quite true.

The Mandaeans still practice. Estimates range from 60,000 to 100,000 worldwide. Their historic homelands are Iraq and Iran, where baptism remains central to their rites, though many members now live in diaspora.

But out of 30+ ancient Gnostic sects, only the Mandaeans remain recognizably Gnostic. Why? Because their system is relatively clear. One God. The power of Light. The immortality of the soul. A cosmology structured in threes—three emanations, three worlds. It’s coherent enough that you can explain the scaffolding without a dissertation.

That clarity helps. So does the fact they’re an ethno-religious community that traditionally rejects conversion and discourages marrying out.

There’s one other “survivor,” though it barely counts: Manichaeism.

It was once a genuine rival to Christianity. Augustine himself spent years as a Manichaean. And a Manichaean temple still exists in China, though most worshippers treat it as a Buddhist site. Syncretism kept it alive by blurring its identity.

That exposes the core problem. Gnosticism begins as syncretism, and syncretism dissolves what makes a religion distinct.

But even that isn’t the whole story. Gnosticism’s real competitor wasn’t Christianity—it was Hermeticism.

Hermeticism also promised salvation through knowledge, but inverted the cosmology. The world wasn’t a trap. The world was good. Ordered. Lawful. Worth studying. Governed by a higher power whose workings could be uncovered.

Hermeticism survived because it was useful. It claimed we perceive reality through altered modes of consciousness, and that these modes can be accessed through repeatable techniques. Alter the state, alter the perception—predictably.

That predictability fed straight into early natural philosophy, back when science and magic were still interwoven.

Gnostics, by contrast, dismissed the material world. When you write off the world, you don’t bother studying it. Hermetic thinkers did. Which is why Hermetic ideas fed into early astronomy, alchemy, and experimental method.

This is why Hermeticism shaped the world, while the only surviving Gnostic sect sits at the margins.

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025).

Wake Up Dead Man is a Knives Out Mystery through and through. Not as good as the first one, but better than the second. Quite a bit darker and a bit more serious than the previous two films, Wake Up Dead Man’s tone is not not funny, but decidedly less funny. Though, in those occasional moments of levity, they hit hard and garnered a serious laugh.

Much like the previous films, the script by director Rian Johnson is a well-written non-linearly told mystery that has many twists and turns. And like his other Knives Out mysteries, it wraps up logically and cleanly.

Daniel Craig has firmly moved on from James Bond and established himself firmly in the radically different character of Benoit Blanc. While I enjoyed his time as James Bond, it is Benoit Blanc that I will remember him for. Josh Brolin is awesome as Monsignor Wicks an acerbic church leader who uses fear and anger to control his flock. Josh O’Connor shines as a pure at heart Father Jud who gets intwined in a locked room murder. He is perfectly cast and this movie would not work without him. Jeffrey Wright is excellent in his role as the quietly foul mouth Bishop Langstrom. While Wright doesn’t have much screen time, he makes a huge impact.

Rian Johnson continues to impress as a writer and director. Steve Yedlin Captures some beautiful images for the film. There are frames in this movie that have such subtle things in them that I started to look at each scene to see what small things are hidden throughout. I loved how Johnson and Yedlin used the demons on the ceiling — in one scene framing Wicks and the demon perfectly together.

I highly enjoyed Wake Up Dead Man and will watch it again soon to see what I missed in this first watch.

Rated 9 out of 10.

Streamed on Netflix.
