ADLink make Pocket AI https://www.adlinktech.com/en/pocket-ai-with-nvidia-rtx-a500...
Yeah that's $350 vs $35 - just to run text search?
Every postgres search implementation has atleast one internet connected postgres nerd on standby.

I don't think the previous comment was trying to be snarky - I can see where they're coming from. Take my feedback with a grain of salt, as I am entirely not the target audience, but... "Stay Connected, Always" - weird way to put it, given it's for offline situations. At this stage it sounds like it could be a 4G or portable wifi solution? "Use our apps for offline content or the Kiwix Hotspot for reliable access." -…
The quote from the footer sounds pretty good. That should probably be front and centre.
It is a bit of a tangent, but I noticed that the picture on the lower right features an OLPC XO laptop. These are very interesting little machines from around 2010 [1], I wonder if some of them are still around today. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Laptop_per_Child
I was thinking about this recently! Can we make an LLM-in-a-box ?

And I have a picture of the real one :-) https://www.flickr.com/photos/brajeshwar/113742187/in/album-...
I have a very similar picture from The Henry Ford. Ars Technica unboxed it and tried it out. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/10/openi...
Seeing the demo I noticed it looks like this "prepper disk" that was submitted days ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43790409 Makes me think the prepper disk was maybe a rebrand of internet in a box without proper attribution?
> PrepperDisk is similar to a DIY, open-source project that started in 2012 called Internet in a Box and which has become popular in rural areas in developing countries where internet access is sparse. The idea is basically that you can carry around an external hard drive-sized, mini version of the internet with you that creates a local network your phone or laptop can access. > https://www.404media.co/sales-of-hard-…
With the crazy news we have those past months, I actually started to wonder what would happen if internet went offline "for real" (let's say, several weeks) here in developed countries. I know we can easily download Wikipedia and Openstreetmap. But what else? And how to share it? I can do a hotspot home, but would my neighbors understand it? I would need some kind of captive portal to tell them when they connect to m…

I don't think determining factor is price, it is how easy or hands off the appliance can be. Every postgres search implementation has atleast one internet connected postgres nerd on standby.
This is a solution that is supposed to be affordable in third-world countries, where 99% of all personal computing happens on low-to-mid-end smartphones.
Unless you specifically mean first-world countries, in which case you can just run a hotspot from your PC or laptop.
> it is how easy or hands off the appliance can be.
I can already barely justify having a single RasPi plugged into my router, and I'm a devops nerd. That box does one single thing that is too annoying to set up on my Mac mini. 99% of people do not want yet another blackbox appliance, this is why every single SOHO router has a built-in switch and AP.

It doesn't have to be postgres specifically, just pointing out that decent FTS has been commodity software for decades. Throwing LMs at every already-solved problem is the problem with LMs.
