A similar tool would be possible for gzip - I made one a long time ago that could append a literal stored block to the end of a gzip stream.

One note about brotli - appendable chunks after the first will generally have a worse compression ratio because they can't reference brotli's built in preshared dictionary, but my use case was appending a small amount of dynamic data to an otherwise static file, where this isn't a significant problem.

However, personally, my main reason for that mode of interaction is that I interact with a lot of humans via text, and I do not want to habituate myself to being an asshole when the medium is words on a screen (or otherwise).

I'm still trying to figure out a good solution for fast external storage, I only went for 1TB internal which doesn't go very far with models that have hundreds of billions of parameters.

If someone disagrees with me on tax, foreign relations, government services, defense, etc policy, sure, we can disagree and still work together.

What gives rise to people like Lunduke is not a simple thing, and something I don't think society fully understands.
