So can you really!? Not helpful discourse at all.

To give you the benefit of the doubt; it’s Russian vs Ukrainian spelling. With Chornobyl being the accepted Ukrainian spelling.

The massive infrastructure project 5 minutes from my house is not nothing. I’m very happy Labour are putting my taxes towards constructing the nation.

You’re just not Spreading hard enough, friend. Excel is like the OG low-code App Dev platform!

Perfectly put.

and are still way better than China

Oh man, I have news for you. As a UK/Australian citizen I would genuinely feel much more at ease travelling to China tomorrow than the US.

That is not a recent change either.

The US has a very scary reputation worldwide for its psychotic police force and guns everywhere.

I have been to China before, just as a no-fuss tourist. I detected no edge, and had a fun time.

It’s the only word journalist know to describe something that isn’t plummeting.

What an utter piece of filth. I hope he gets everything he deserves.

• And don’t forget to say thank you.

If you’re out there suggesting political stances can be adequately expressed along a single line, then you’re not doing much better I’m afraid. Engage with the nuance, friend, it’ll build understanding and be better for all of us.

‘Left’/‘Right’ need to go, they’re losing any meaning they once had - instead: “What’s your policy on X”? “How do you feel about Y?” “Do you agree with Z’s policy on A, B & C, and why?”.

Curiosity, followed by grounded opinion, over tribalism.

Now excuse me while I go and try to practice what I just preached 😅

Hey now, beans on toast is a kingly feast! Grate some cheese on top… Pure comfort 😁

I’m doing my part! More to strengthen the EU, than to weaken the US, but: Cancelled all US tech subscriptions (not a small deal as a software dev). Cloud services all moved to Scaleway in France, AI migrated to Mistral, mail to Tuta, maps to Mapy.cz and more…

Do they really though? That’s what writers want to write because it ‘gets them views’ - a malaise of modern media. I’m one of the ‘people’, I’d rather have a sober analysis.

Would you say they’re at the top of that slippery slope, or part way down it already?

Maybe today’s top brass wouldn’t, but there are probably enough JD Vance types among the MAGA lovin’ grunts to promote, to structure an army that’ll take Trump at his word. If he says ‘Europe were the enemy all along’, enough times, with enough conviction…

Wouldn’t have believed it myself until this year.

I think I found my jam! AnythingLLM self-hostable

Are there any AI apps that will index markdown documents with a vector DB, then allow you to run natural language queries using some kind of RAG approach with a local LLM?

Closest I’ve found is LlamaIndex, but this is still more of a ‘foundation’ than a turn-key solution and right now I’m too time-poor to do the assembly required…

I realise I’m describing close-to-frontier tech, but is there anything more turn-key (Dockerised) out there yet?

My use-case is pretty ‘vanilla’ in this space: Having a knowledge base and wanting quick answers to questions like “How should screen X behave if I am not a registered user?”.

Thanks for any suggestions!
