Great write-up. Thank you! I’m contemplating a similar RAG architecture for my engineering firm, but we’re dealing with roughly 20x the data volume (estimating around 9TB of project files, specs, and PDFs). I've been reading about Goog

Asking this question leads me to suspect you have no true curiosity or willingness to learn a new perspective as it's literally a Google away. And then you will reply in another direction that justifies your narrow world view that is o

I appreciate the acknowledgement ofthe 'No True Scotsman' trap. It is easy to define a side by its ideals (e.g., 'The Left is for the poor'), but the reality is that both sides muck it up the moment they take control. Ne

I understand your point that a typical US citizen has options where they work. My point is when all options include wage slavery it's not an actual option. That's it, a false dichotomy. And that is what the OP is about. It's

This is part of the false dichotomy you are not understanding. It's not actually a valid choice if there are no options. And that is what this is actually about, understanding how we have no good options, and what to do about it. I rec

The battle between the modern 'Left' and 'Right' is pure theater. It’s a false choice designed to keep us arguing over who holds the leash while we remain wage slaves. It would be interesting if some of those individuals

Agreed. You got a bad batch perhaps. When CA first required high efficacy lighting in kitchens via Title 24 in 2010, it was a train wreck, there were no good options and it got a bad name. Slowly they were required throughout new constructi

I am squarely in the business and there are successful and failed startups everywhere. It is dynamic, challenging but there is defintely no shortage of people succeeding. Perhaps the startups just dont have the buzz or respect? Many succes

Our family is a huge fan of Cal Newport with respect to these matters, he is an inspiration and part of the solution!

100% they get it because we talk about it all the time, however it doesnt mean they agree but I would say they understand. There is pushback as age increases and social pressure DOES increase as well, this is why we think the transition is

Great question, and perhaps there is something better out there now since the popularity is rising. We researched thoroughly 3 years ago and at that time they had the best mix of features that fit our needs. Many dumb phones still have ca

Agree! The wet dry cycle at some point seems almost certain it would cause delamination. I'm surprised those failed bridges aren't more protected, it does seems risky, it seems they should be kept out of direct weather. Also agree

Where do people refer a "2x4" as a "4x2"? Sincere question. I have heard it, but only in the way of inferring that it was being used in an abnormal or "flat" orientation, such as for a floor truss assembly

Covered wooden bridges last hundreds of years and they are very beautiful. Maintenance is required (as with everything) but life cycle cost is really good especially for shorter spans.

I highly recommend the documentary Dark Waters and more so Rob Bilot's well written book, Exposure. It might make the greatest skeptics a little less confident.

Try Vectorworks. They had BIM years before Revit was a twinkle in AutoCAD's eye. Perhaps they fell behind for a few years but now but now more than viable and so much more stable code.
