I am building a graph based semantic search engine. We can use low cost LLMs, like Haiku, or local models to extract semantics (named entity recognition). Then the nodes in the graph maintain types (things like people, date, currency) as extracted and allow queries. https://github.com/pixlie/PixlieAI Currently building a demo where we crawl startup investment data to build a knowledge graph that can be filtered for p…

Very interesting, I've been thinking about this kind of approach but haven't had the time to really work on it. So what kind of business model do you have? Is it a kind of drop-in replacement for vector dbs?

Out of curiosity, if it's not a trade secret, how do you plan to handle conflicting data (two sources saying different things on the same topic/data)?

Working on the official Light version and accompanying website of https://monokai.pro

Thank you for working on light theme, it seems that 90% of themes are dark nowadays. Depending on languages I switch between dark and light themes and for the latter there's lot less choice. My brain has gotten used to that Java and R must have light themes, most other languages dark. I even have different color theme for each language. It's how my brain works.

IPv6 only domain monitor. I think current monitors focus too much on IPv4 and does not highlight issues with v6.

This is more personalized version of the v6check tool, I made a bit earlier to check broken IPv6 websites.

I've just updated https://ryelang.org website, adding new asciinema demos (hn/somafm util and eyr), new cookbook pages, references to rye-gio(ui) project, etc. There is still tons of work, on the language front, bindings, console and on documenting it all, but if we keep moving forward step by step eventually something of value will be produced, I hope :)

I continue working on JustFax Online[0] - a service to send a one-time fax without the need for an account or subscription.

I now realized that I started it almost one year ago. It's both amazing how much I was able to achieve in a year, but on the same hand a bit frustrating that I did not achieve what I wanted to. Nevertheless, will continue to work on it and improve it.

November is my last working month! I'm giving entrepreneurship a try to solve a huge problem: phone overuse.

It's been busy:

- Reading books, currently "The Mom Test"

- Looking for a startup community and being disappointed with what my city has to offer

- Deciding between VC vs. bootstrapping, and taking a firmer stance to try the latter first. This includes rejecting ODF.

- Talking with like-minded people. I now have a better understanding of what the MVP should look like.

Receiving so much support has been very encouraging; I announced it more publicly at https://nullderef.com/blog/quit-job-2024/

It's scary. But working has never been so fun!
