  • Disappointing that this isn’t the overwhelming response; and shows how dangerously close to fascism a lot of the supposedly ‘anti fascist’ respondents actually are.

    To ban a thing, you’d better first clearly define what it is.

    Right/Left are poor descriptors of often complex political stances, with ‘far right’ being no easier.

    Clearly a dangerous path. Those beying for ‘a ban on far right’ need to take a pause and think, it’s like they’ve forgotten what nuance is.

    Better to a) fund the teaching of critical thinking and humanistic morality through the education system; and b) foster domestic economic policies that maximise opportunities for your citizens so they don’t feel disenfranchised in large numbers.

    That will help prevent the emergence of tribalistic, insular, moral-absolutist behaviour closer to the root.






  • 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!
