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

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 😅

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!

$14 USD/mo… Ironically

I’ve been an enthusiastic adopter of Generative AI in my coding work; and know that Claude 3.7 is the greatest coding model out there right now (at least for my niche).

That said, at some point you have to choose principles over convenience; so I’ve cancelled all my US Tech service accounts - now exclusively using ‘Le Chat Pro’ (+ sometimes local LLM’s).

Honestly, it’s not quite as good, but it’s not half bad either, and it is very very fast thanks to some nifty hardware acceleration that the others lack.

I still get my work done, and sleep better at night.

The more subscriptions Mistral get, the more they’re able to compete with the US offerings.

Anyone can do this.

It should not be that surprising. Many teenagers are really smart, curious and will find their way here. That said I realise your warning is well intentioned; I hope Lemmy remains a more civil place than Reddit became over the last ten years, for everyone; teenagers included.

Same here: Deleted my 13y Reddit account along with every other US tech account except Google, as I need that for my livelihood.

Censorship wasn’t the motivation. Rather; I’m withdrawing my support for the US economy in any way possible, given the shocking geopolitical events of this year and the way they are treating Ukraine.

Besides, the Federverse feels like going back to the internet’s roots and I’m here for it!
