Because the political and economical situation is extreme.

It's the language of GNU. And a scheme. That's also why you would choose Haunt. It's probably not for you.

If you're into GNU/Guile Scheme, there is also Haunt: https://dthompson.us/projects/haunt.html

My only advice is that you stick to one model and give it some time. You need to "learn" your model. I will probably never go back. I had huge issues with getting good results from Google and my subjective experience is that this is far better. However, I do still use conventional search engines as a complement. It's not all or nothing.

This is the one I use: https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/agents/

Just tell the modell to do web searches in the system prompt.

All providers should have something similar. With a user friendly UI.

If you code your own agent and utilize an API or run a model locally, you can of course do even more. There are many tools if you want to do RAG on your own local data.

Because it's useful. Have you tried? But the LLM has to be able to use conventional search engines as well. I tell my LLM agent to prioritize certain kinds of websites and present a compressed answer with references. Usually works way better than a standard Google search (which only produce AI generated junk results anyway).

You can get very good answers or search results by utilizing RAG.

Super expensive Apple, Adobe and Canon equipment? Because they don't know better and symbols of social status are important?

Pocket money in this context. They should add at least two zeros to that number or it won't even show up in the weekly report.

Russia. MS-13 is nothing in comparison. Though it wouldn't surprise me if Russia supports MS-13 as part of their hybrid warfare. That's how they work.

Understand that Russia has largely been able to put US to its knees through hybrid methods that utilize and enhance the negative effects of american arrogance, neoliberal dogmatism and the war on drugs. Trump is the final stage before the empire comes down. It's probably too late to turn the ship around by now. China + EU is already the facto world leaders and the US is doing everything to destroy itself and there is no real political and economical self-awareness among people with power.

The US should have started to decrease inequality, stop the war on drugs and enforced (sane) tariffs and migration policies 15 years ago. The EU has the same problems, but there isn't the same level of inequality and political extremism and fundamentalism, which makes me believe that the EU will survive as a western democracy and relevant world player, but the US will not.

Maybe give Doom Emacs a try? Anyway, I thing we can put IDE/Editor in the subjective quality bucket.

Ok, I agree about music apps and Google Maps.

Isn't Intellij largely open source? What does premium offer over the community edition? More content and support? Anyway, I find this one subjective. I would argue that Emacs, VS Code and Neovim are at least as good (much better if you work with many different programming languages and/or require extra control).

 

I see plenty of links to Euronews in this community. Just want to remind you all that Euronews is linked to the Hungarian government and Viktor Orbán. Consider that before you post something.

 

Last couple of months has been dramatic and there is a huge demand for ethical and safe social media. Even mainstream conservatives start to look for alternatives when US oligarchs wage hybrid warfare against their nation.

And there are so many low hanging fruits right now. Like Facebook event and marketplace replacements on the fediverse. Or just a Facebook alternative that isn't Frendica. Or maybe a commercial fork of Frendica.

I'm not involved in any development of fediverse software, so I'm asking here. Do you experience more interest from venture capital?

Also, I assume EU will pour big money into social media alternatives, starting 2025.

Note: I'm not interested in a discussion regarding if VC is good or bad for the fediverse. That's a good topic for another post though.

 

Can one still claim that the USA is a liberal democracy? Where do you draw the line?

It is clear that the signal to noise ratio of the WWW is getting worse. It's much harder to find good content when using a good old search engine. And if it's good it is usually hosted on Reddit or Stackexchange.

So remember, even if it's easy too Google something (well, it isn't nowadays), we want to create a fediverse of good content that helps people (I hope). So, it's always better to write a real answer if you have the time and energy. Please help boost the SNR and reverse the AI fueled information degradation loop.

 

Good FOSS software and reliable service providers? Etc.
