Please don't. The project is around since at least 2022.

Spending years on a cool project, and than some dude posts such a comment...

You can use an IDE like IntelliJ and you get syntax highlighting, code completion etc.

I built TeletextSignals, a local RAG + LLM experiment over ~25 years of Swiss teletext news in German-language. Teletext is a TV broadcast system that delivers highly concise, spac…

I think it can be more efficient for two-step RAG so you can reuse the natural language query directly, but for agentic RAG it might indeed be overkill.

I was just working on a RAG implementation for >500k news articles, completely local, using postgres as a vector database: https://github.com/r-follador/TeletextSignals I'm positiv…

Less ichy than cotton

Also, depending on the ingredient, it makes more sense to use cups as a measurement of volume, not mass, when converting to metric. E.g. liquids, yoghurt etc. Another thing: althou…

Depends: for hobby purposes, or what my daytime job forces on me?

Extremely tight results and the majority of cantons voted against it. I still believe it's the way forward.

As a hobby project, I was looking into using LiDAR data to view archeological points of interest in Switzerland: https://github.com/r-follador/delta-relief It would be interesting …

How do you use it with Jetbrains? Junie? Or just as a separate CLI session?

This argument is not limited to gene therapies, but would apply to pretty much every pharmaceutical product. One issue is however that the actual costs are not so much in early R&D…

Tangentially related: I'm trying to make LiDAR data in Switzerland more accessible, see https://github.com/r-follador/delta-relief There's some interesting examples in the Readme.

Why ice?

SwissTopo has a separate dataset of buildings and structures in Switzerland, so they basically just subtract it from the LiDAR data.

Here's another article about the use of such data in South America: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/maya-lase... Of course, nothing so exciting to be discovered …

I think the examples should make it more clear. Thanks to the high resolution of the data, you can see subtle changes in the slope (aka relief aka microtopography) that could hint …

I can't get it to work, but it sounds interesting. Does anyone have a screen recording to share?

Do you have any links further elaborating this?

Any recommendations regarding freight forwarders?
