That is good, but it should be qualified a little. If the algorithm simply says "sort by most recent", then it is pretty good. It is the profit driven algorithms that are doing the damage.

This highlights that all RAG systems should be using metadata embedded into each of the vectorstores. Any result from the LLM needs to have a link to a document / chunk - which is turn links to a 'source file' which (should)

I am using LangChain with a SQLite database - it works pretty well on a 16G GPU, but I started running it on a crappy NUC, which also worked with lesser results. The real lightbulb moment is when you realise the ONLY thing a RAG passes to t

I am working on a local RAG LLM designed for lower end PC's - ability for people to try out searching their own documents, seeing it was such a learning curve to get to this stage - hoping others can learn from my mistakes. https:&#x2

Switching models when running locally is fairly easy - as long as you have them downloaded you can switch them in and out with a just a config setting - cant quite remember, but you may need to rebuild the vectorstore when switching though.

I think it was the modal dialog box that forced you to stop what you were doing and click 'piss off clippy', rather than being able to ignore it.

Very well done - it took me several attempts to get the hang of Blender and I still only know / used half those shortcuts. Thanks for the easy to use tips!

I think Google has lost all faith in terms of keeping projects around - especially when they involve data locked into a mildly complex system without a complete migration path out. I would be wary investing time in learning / using any

Cyc seemed to be the best application for proper AI in my opinion - all the ML and LLM tricks are statistically really good, but you need to parse it through Cyc to check for common sense. I am really pleased they continue to work on this -

Our ETL process is heavily monitored so we never miss a days data, but we got a surprising error "cant build aggregates - missing data, aborting MV refresh, data will be a day old". It was the year to date (YTD) calculation - no d

Well, you can - you can have a policy that forces payments from a select group. Some users will complain when "No, you cant pay with 2 chickens every 3rd full moon", but that is too bad.

This is really impressive, even the trees look pretty good which appears to be tricky to do with procgen stuff. A nice next step or addition would be to take the results and remesh them to lower poly models so it can be used in a game engin

In terms of Unreal blueprints they may be low syntax but they are not low code - you still need to know software development techniques or you will end up in a pile of garbage very quickly (which you can also do with any other language).

This is very cool, though as others have said it is fairly resource intensive. I'd love to see a schematic exported or even shown as you press simulate (you clearly have it the components and links in memory somewhere to do the simulat

I think this is useful in that you don't need to use any specific render package. It is nice to have a baseline of materials in an open accessible form.

The sounds generated by this are very impressive - it is an actual simulation of the entire combustion process. Best parts are the engine sound under load, slight delay when opening throttle and changing down a gear to force engine braking.

That's great, and I am sure it is cool, but I don't trust Google to keep products maintained any more. I won't be trying it out.
