I have two projects for it right now. The first is shoving my labyrinth of HOA documents into it so I can answer quick questions about the HOA docs or at least find the right answer more effectively.

The second is for work, I shoved a couple months of slack, some Google docs, some PDFs all about our production product. Next I'm going to start shoving some of GitHub in there. It would be kind of nice to have something that I could ask where is the shorting algorithm and how does it work and it could give me back where the source code is in any documentation related to it.

The HOA docs I could feed into GPT, I'm still a little apprehensive to handover all of our production code to a public AI though.

I've got it running on a 2070 super and I've got another instance running on a fairly new ARC. It's not fast, But it's also not miserable. I'm running on the medium sized models I only have so much VRAM to deal with. It's kind of like trying to read the output off a dot matrix printer.

The natural language aspect is better than trying to shove it into a conventional search engine, say I don't know what a particular function is called or some aspect or what the subcompany my HOA uses to review architectural requests. Especially for the work stuff when there's so many different types of documents lying around. I still need to try some different models though my current model is a little dumb about context. I'm also having a little trouble with technical documentation that doesn't have a lot of English fluff. It's like I need it to digest a dictionary to go along with the documents.

Searx is fancy about it though, It queries everybody and gives you the results that came back from multiple places. This effectively eliminates ads, AI, and unless they all missed it, spam.

Using duck duck go is pretty good for me, if I go to bing.com, My results are horrible. Of course it's the same result set, but I expect I'm getting less algorithmic shuffling on DuckDuckGo.

I got olama and WebUI working privately / locally and I'm able to insert documents into it with persistence and query them.

Oh give us a couple of decades to screw up the environment enough we can't grow outside.

Unless he thinks he's going to serve all that from the die in the next 5 years.

Running Ubuntu on my 2015 air I struggle to get 2 hours out of it. I was able to get TLP to bring it close to 4, But it was at the cost of being borderline unusable.

I just wish they'd take a strong stance on blocking propaganda in the US too.

Wonder how many services would have to pull out of Russia before Russia started pushing back on their government.

Back before streaming I was using the Netflix DVD plan ripping and dropping them on 4.7g blanks. I had a few binders of just my favorite stuff. I owned all the originals for all the Disney that I could get my hands on and all of my favorite cult classics. But what I was really missing was TV shows. TV shows are just expensive as hell in DVD format.

When streaming hit I finally got around to testing Netflix out. My child got fixated Chuggington. He was halfway through when they pulled it from the streaming service. I started digging around, but at the time it was really hard to find TV content. I eventually managed to get the rest of chuggington. I bought a lifetime subscription to playon, and from then on anytime he started to show a strong interest in a show I would just go ahead and record the whole thing I put it locally on tversity at the time. But Netflix just kept having the same patterns of dropping stuff off. The websites started with these are the things you should watch before they disappear from Netflix. I was just done with trusting them.

Years later the same kind of things happened with Amazon. I remember Sheriff Callie being a real pain in the rump. It went from free streaming to purchase seasons only overnight.

Eventually, Playon abandoned their lifetime client and I just went straight to newsgroup/torrent.

It's crazy as hell watching that form factor reduce. The early bipeds looked like first generation NASA moon landing suits. That thing looks small enough to fit in clothing you could buy at a local department store.

And while I think the 360 pivoting hips are an interesting touch I really wish they would constrain themselves to human anatomical moves.

That's not simping, The vast majority of that's paid marketing.

My 7th gens are just starting to become a problem for gaming.

 

Sune is a master of bread from Denmark and also knows how to rock out. I first ran across him deep in the throws of the 2020 pandemic.

He has a long history of making different types of bread, varying the moisture, flours, yeast, salt.

From his blog: https://foodgeek.dk/en/about/

My focus is to make the best-tasting food possible. I often use advanced techniques that are still possible in a home kitchen.

In the later years, I’ve gotten into sourdough baking, and my YouTube channel is mostly sourdough content, and the recipes on the blog reflect that.

 

Rick Martinez is another transplant from the BA test kitchen. He covers authentic Mexican cuisine, he'll show you how it's done and then, when possible, show you how you can pull it off without the harder to find equipment and ingredients.

Pruébalo is his series carried on BCU, He also has a lot of content on Food52

 

From Youtube: Hi ! "Salut" ! I'm Alex, self-taught Homecook & Filmmaker. On this YouTube channel, I just want to make recreate Perfect food. Is that too much to ask ? Well...

Alex is a long time favorite of mine. He's part mad scientist, part maker, part chef. He's not afraid to set the bar high and absolutely fail, or sometimes win.

 

Another long standing test kitchen fixture, Brad survive the explosion of the BA test kitchen and Covid and has started up his own series.

He's fun and silly, has a good editor and a is master of fermentation.

Here's his first episode, just two weeks old covering Cucumber Saurkraut.

 

Claire Saffitz (born 1986) is an American food writer, chef, and YouTube personality. Until mid-2020, she was a contributing editor at Bon Appétit magazine and starred in several series on the Bon Appétit YouTube channel, including Gourmet Makes, in which she created gourmet versions of popular snack foods by reverse engineering them. Since leaving the company, she has published two cookbooks, Dessert Person and What's for Dessert, which both became New York Times Best Sellers. She has continued work as a video host on her own YouTube channel and as a freelance recipe developer, including for New York Times Cooking.

This video is her take on Cherries Jubilee

 

From Youtube: On this episode of Arcade with Alvin, Alvin whips up some insanely spicy curry from Super Smash Bros.

 

Tasting History is a culinary and history fusion web-show that recreates ancient or historical recipes and explains the history around them

In this this episode, Max looks into the history of Alcatraz and the excellent food served there. (not kidding)

 

Alvin Zhou has regular appearances on the Babish Culinary Universe. He was previously working with buzzfeed tasty.

He heads up Anime with Alvin and Arcade with Alvin to produce meals seen in popular anime and arcade titles.

His series are about the same format at Binging with Babish but he doesn't post any recipes.

In This Episode he makes a Giant Ramen bowl from the Anime Series RWBY

RWBY (pronounced "Ruby") is an American anime-influenced computer-animated web series created by Monty Oum for Rooster Teeth. It is set in the fictional world of Remnant, where young people train to become warriors (called "Huntsmen" and "Huntresses") to protect their world from monsters called

 

Ethan Chlebowski is a content creator that focuses on home cooking and ingredients. I'm enamored with his blindfold taste tests and takes on different cooking methods.

From Youtube: I'm Ethan, it's my philosophy that once you learn the how AND why behind cooking, you become a much better cook. Why is salt the most important seasoning for cooking? How is gluten actually developed in bread making? Why does a smash burger generate more flavor compounds through browning than a grilled burger? Once I learn, I want to share that information with you, so we can all become better cooks together.

This particular video is another part in his ongoing series researching real aged Balsamic vinegar.

 

Chef John is a US National Treasure. Depending on the age of a given video, you'll find his intonation a bit difficult to get used to, but it's worth it. His dishes are absolutely great.

 

Kenji López-Alt is a master in the kitchen, I love his informal video style, but he can make some people a little seasick with his head mounted cam. He has great takes on classic dishes and his banter is fun and upbeat

From Youtube:

I'm Kenji López-Alt. My most recent book, the Wok: Recipes and Techniques, is a New York Times best-seller and available right now. You can buy it at many bookstores or any online bookstore, or from my website (https://www.kenjilopezalt.com)

I've been a cook/chef for over twenty years now. My first book was The Food Lab: Better Home Cooking Through Science. It won some awards and is a bestseller blah blah blah. I'm also the author of the best-selling children's book, Every Night is Pizza Night.

I also write for the New York Times and Serious Eats.

When I'm not writing books or spending time with my family, I like to play music and explore Seattle.

On this channel, I mostly cook food at home with a camera strapped to my forehead so you can see how I think about food and move in the kitchen. I enjoy making these videos, and I'm gonna keep at it, so long as it doesn't become a chore. I hope you enjoy watching them.

 

Evelyn Domingues is a content creator who shows you how to cook Purerto Rican (and other) recipes. Most of her content is in spanish, but it's pretty easy to follow and Youtube autotranslate works pretty well.
