What are you working on [July 2022]
Thanks to Gtk4 support and packages available on macOS via homebrew. Today I was successful able to build .app for the app. You can track the progress here https://github.com/RajSolai/TextSnatcher branch 'macos-dev'
- I made a desktop popup dictionary for games and apps. It shows definitions on hover and allows you to create Anki cards.

Iambe-RP-20b: An uncensored L2 Frankenstein model directly trained with RP-oriented cDPO
I actually asked the creator of mergekit a question here. In his response, I learned how to use task_arithmetic to isolate the deltas. One could, in theory, use WANDA on that model from the second example, then merge it back into another model. However, that's firmly past the frontier of what has been tried, so experimentation might be messy.
