How is Hermes different in that regard? Also note, that RAG and even vector search are more paths of the early days that didn't prove too valuable. Just let your agent search it directly and optionally create an index as a default entr

It seems like many people have the same or similar ideas. I was thinking of using a tool similar to bookmark-managers as the foundation of a new web. Where you subscribe to RSS-feeds of specific (or clusters of) people to specific topics as

I thought that early coding assistants came to be written in some Java/TypeScript, because AI companies just had web-devs playing around and then made it a product even though the languages being such a misfit for terminal. Why did you

I like rants though. They help me understand, not only how people feel about stuff, but also why.

I can't turn it off on my Samsung Galaxy S23 which I originally bought, because it was not marketed with AI. The patched it in later and ever since it just randomly starts as if it was listening all the time.

Taking control of your own data is shitloads of work, I and understand people do not have time it, and have other priorities. That's not a physical law, but just the result of the current technological landscape.

Your refusal of 996 is relatable for senior or mid level workers. But that's something less experienced people can not afford and in this market even unlucky seniors are forced to accept things they wouldn't have to 2 or 3 years a

How do you actually read man pages? Do you skim them, to actually read and focus on interesting parts? Do you try to memorize features?
