> and maintain This right here is the key difference! Yes anyone can vibe code a replacement for many apps - but will it still run 2 years later (assuming they get it 'running' in …

This highlights that all RAG systems should be using metadata embedded into each of the vectorstores. Any result from the LLM needs to have a link to a document / chunk - which is …

Nice to see old tech revitalised - I had fun with the Australian version of a Z80 single board computer - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TEC-1

I am using LangChain with a SQLite database - it works pretty well on a 16G GPU, but I started running it on a crappy NUC, which also worked with lesser results. The real lightbulb…

I am working on a local RAG LLM designed for lower end PC's - ability for people to try out searching their own documents, seeing it was such a learning curve to get to this stage …

Switching models when running locally is fairly easy - as long as you have them downloaded you can switch them in and out with a just a config setting - cant quite remember, but yo…

I think it was the modal dialog box that forced you to stop what you were doing and click 'piss off clippy', rather than being able to ignore it.

> Some people love programming, for the sake of programming itself. And this is what is causing the friction against LLM's (which are quite useful for getting up to speed with a ne…

Very well done - it took me several attempts to get the hang of Blender and I still only know / used half those shortcuts. Thanks for the easy to use tips!

I think Google has lost all faith in terms of keeping projects around - especially when they involve data locked into a mildly complex system without a complete migration path out.…

Cyc seemed to be the best application for proper AI in my opinion - all the ML and LLM tricks are statistically really good, but you need to parse it through Cyc to check for commo…

Our ETL process is heavily monitored so we never miss a days data, but we got a surprising error "cant build aggregates - missing data, aborting MV refresh, data will be a day old"…

> "You can't just take the CSS stylesheets and references and store them." Yes you can - just save them locally?

Well, you can - you can have a policy that forces payments from a select group. Some users will complain when "No, you cant pay with 2 chickens every 3rd full moon", but that is to…

Oracle requires you to login to get access to most support documents now.

https://www.lifepim.com/blog Very low frequency updates mainly about information management and data. Most popular article was "What software will you trust when you get senile?" -…

This is really impressive, even the trees look pretty good which appears to be tricky to do with procgen stuff. A nice next step or addition would be to take the results and remesh…

In terms of Unreal blueprints they may be low syntax but they are not low code - you still need to know software development techniques or you will end up in a pile of garbage very…

1. Lots of additional data breaches will make more users wary of using cloud apps for personal data. This will cause more power users to move to desktop / local first apps. 2. AI w…

This is very cool, though as others have said it is fairly resource intensive. I'd love to see a schematic exported or even shown as you press simulate (you clearly have it the com…

Not that recent, but another 2 good games are: Evolve ( https://pmotschmann.github.io/Evolve/ ) start as cells, evolve to humans (or anything), craft stuff, conquer space Swarm Sim…

Oh that's just great - I was planning to muck about with some odd coding tonight, but I guess I'll be playing this (awesome) game again.

I think this is useful in that you don't need to use any specific render package. It is nice to have a baseline of materials in an open accessible form.

The sounds generated by this are very impressive - it is an actual simulation of the entire combustion process. Best parts are the engine sound under load, slight delay when openin…

Blender is the pinnacle of what Open Source software applications can achieve. It started off with great features, but really difficult to use (for non artists), yet has gotten muc…
