I have collected so much information in text files on my computer that it has become unmanageable to find anything. Now with local AI solutions, I wondered if I could create a smart search engine that could provide answers to the information that exists on my personal data.
My question is.
1 - Even if there is so much data that I can no longer find stuff, how much text data is needed to train an LLM to work ok? Im not after an AI that could answer general question, only an AI that should be able to answer what I already know exist in the data.
2 - I understand that the more structured the data are, the better, but how important is it when training an LLM with structured data? Does it just figuring stuff out anyways in a good way mostly?
3 - Any recommendation where to start, how to run an LLM AI locally, train on your own data?
Fun fact!? TIL: UTC = Coordinated Universal Time but the abbreviation is not CUT that would be "logical", but UTC.
"It came about as a compromise between English and French speakers.
- Coordinated Universal Time in English would normally be abbreviated CUT.
- Temps Universel Coordonné in French would normally be abbreviated TUC.
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the International Astronomical Union wished to minimize confusion and designated one single abbreviation for use in all languages.
UTC does not favor any particular language. In addition, the advantage of choosing UTC is that it is consistent with the abbreviation for Universal Time, UT"
So the reason it's called UTC is because the French and British couldn't agree, who could have guessed? :)
Does anyone knows if it is possible to send folders (includings subfolders) or is just files?
Have been looking for a simple way to share files between pc and android wireless but not via internet, but seems it always is just file/s you could transfer, not folders with everything in them.
If LocalSend is the same and can only transfer selected file/s, have anyone any tips on a alternative app that do the same but also with folders?
Haha that’s currently a way to explain to people who are used to hosting/sync based cloud solutions that anything that is (a) local p2p and (b) doesn’t need to upload-before-download is much faster. It’s also faster than WebRTC based solutions which there are dozens, WebRTC kind of sucks for large stuff.
That said, the next version will have multi connection tcp striping, which is a lot faster than any single tcp solution in many cases, especially over long distances, similar to some ftp/usenet clients. (Spoiler there will be online p2p transfers. See https://github.com/betamos/rdv if curious)
If you can install software on the computer and have an Android 11 or newer phone, one way is to use the adb tool from android sdk tools to create a connection over the local wifi network which you can adb push folders over.
Probably not what you are looking for, but Syncthing, Syncthing Fork on Android, if you have LAN. You can switch on only local announce (switch global off in adv. settings).
"It is said to be the worst conflict in all of human history."
No it is not, that is incorrect. I really dont know where you get that from. And I dont agree that there have been a VERY violent history. Yes there have been wars, and all war are voilent, but not anything special for that era. Between 1200-1800 there was 15 wars. From 1-10 years and the majority of them lasted just 1 or 2 years.
And fun facts: Of the 15 wars Denmark started 11 of them and Sweden won 11 of them. Sug på den danskjävlar ;) Sweden is a peaceful coutry and that contry that have lived longest in the world without war, over 200 years.
All nordic countries are very similar in so many ways and our language are almost the same so we can understand, "almost" each (except the Danish people (rest of the nordic countries understand what I mean :), maybe that why there have been conflicts ;) We, the nordic countries see ourself more like a family, like siblings that love each outer but also love to tease each other :D
I have to correct my self, the war length was not between 1-10 years, it was between 1-12 when I checked again.
And about "Hundreds of years of wars." I counted for fun how many years in total Sweden and Danmark was in war with each other between 1207 when the first war started to 1814 when the last one ended, and it was around 54 years in total, over a period of 4 centuries. (54 years are dependent how you count, if a war started 1207 and ended 1208 it could have been both 1 and 2 years long, so I counted 1,5 for all wars. So at best it was 47 years or at worst 64 with a mean time of 3,6 year per war).
I think this mpre could be a graphic driver problem. Test update to the latest from your pc manufacturer or your graphic card manufacturer (they could differ).
If I record correctly, Mozilla has said that like 97% of all problems people has is with problems is due to extensions, not Firefox. '
When you have a site not working as expected, start Firefox in "Troubleshoot Mode" (alt-key then in the menu at the top Help > Troubleshot mode) that starts Firefox with addons turn off. If the site works, restart and turn of addons one by one to you see which one creates the problem.
Do someone knows if it is possible to get a RSS feed for a podcast on spotify? If yes, how do you do in spotify (or other ways) to see a podcast RSS feed?
If it’s hosted by Spotify, the easiest way is to plug in its Apple Podcast URL to a tool like the one I linked. Try Joe Rogan’s for an example of this (his RSS is hosted by Spotify’s Anchor and every podcast index has that link.)
If the podcast is just distributed to Spotify, as most are, then the feed will be hosted someowhere else.
For those who are not from Sweden (or from Switzerland) this is a real "problem" that happens all the time, that people confuse the countries. And it is something we at least in Sweden take with a big smile :D And according to the comments to the video, those from Switzerland seem to do the same thing :)
Here is an example when Swedish Spotify was listed in the US on the Nasdaq stock exchange and they used the Schweiz flag instead haha. The list goes on :)
Huh, I thought the website was some kind of a joke but I guess not. I still have no idea how anyone can confuse the two. Czechia-Chechnya, Austria-Australia I can somewhat understand those but Sweden-Switzerland? Come on.
It's not so much that they sound the same. It's that they are small Germanic, historically neutral countries in Europe. The names are similar enough to misremember details about the two. It's hard to separate the two countries by just remembering stereotypes.
I have no idea how that can be a thing. I can understand mixing up Slovakia and Slovenia - their flags are quite similar and endonym in Slovak for that country is Slovensko, Slovenská republika. IMO it's as weird as this Sweden-Switzerland
I couldn't find it but last week I read a twitter thread about a software company in Czechia that had gotten some crazy request for documentation because they had been flagged as being in Chechnya
> I can understand mixing up Slovakia and Slovenia
Don't forget the historic regions of Slavonia and Slavinia. While neither of those two is an independent country at the moment, you never know what's going to happen in Eastern Europe.
I'm Danish and I have often had people hearing that and then asking me about The Netherlands. The two countries are very similar so maybe that's why but I have this suspicion that it's simply because Dutch and Danish both begin with a D...
