  • 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!


  • Weird hill to die on perhaps; but I’ll never forgive Microsoft for arbitrarily deciding to not support my Core i7 6700K 4Ghz CPU on Windows 11.

    Simply because: I cannot find a single actual technical reason why it wouldn’t be compatible (yes, my mobo also has TPM). It’s even higher specced than many other ‘supported’ chips.

    MS apparently just decided I hadn’t spent enough money lately. Well now I won’t - on your products - ever again, while this i7 will continue to run Win 10 for games and Linux for all else.


  • Agreed, I despise Musk as much as any sane person does now, but I just can’t get on board with this prevalent behaviour of indiscriminately trashing everything everything about a person you don’t like.

    Just be honest! He clearly has played a big part in achieving some spectacular results: Whether you think that was in engineering or cunning manipulation all the way up, the fact is SpaceX have achieved feats nobody else has, and I don’t believe it would have happened without Musk.

    None of that changes the fact he is a cunt, but dishonesty in criticism only weakens it.
