I'll never understand people that drive these entirely unnecessary abominations. Energy efficiency should be a major motivating factor in vehicle choice: which generally indicates smaller vehicles for most tasks.

I firmly believe that most local, individual journeys should be made by eScooter these days, and a saloon car is already the best format for mid range family trips (it wasn't broken - just go electric).

SUVs are mostly a sign of sociopathic tendencies - a manifestation of the drivers need to be feel bigger, heavier, stronger than the next person. To be confident you'll injure the other party in a crash regardless of who was in the right.. because "fuck you I can afford this".

If you live in the country, fine, the rugged format makes sense. Drive one exclusively in the suburbs to pick your shopping up? The choice says something about the buyers personality IMO, and it's not favourable.

You wouldn't catch me dead driving one by choice.

To give you the benefit of the doubt; it's Russian vs Ukrainian spelling. With Chornobyl being the accepted Ukrainian spelling.

The massive infrastructure project 5 minutes from my house is not nothing. I'm very happy Labour are putting my taxes towards constructing the nation.

You're just not Spreading hard enough, friend. Excel is like the OG low-code App Dev platform!

Perfectly put.

I mean much of the hype is warranted I just wish every man and his dog would spare us their personal revelations about it on LinkedIn.

It's the only word journalist know to describe something that isn't plummeting.

What an utter piece of filth. I hope he gets everything he deserves.

• And don't forget to say thank you.

If you're out there suggesting political stances can be adequately expressed along a single line, then you're not doing much better I'm afraid. Engage with the nuance, friend, it'll build understanding and be better for all of us.

'Left'/'Right' need to go, they're losing any meaning they once had - instead: "What's your policy on X"? "How do you feel about Y?" "Do you agree with Z's policy on A, B & C, and why?".

Curiosity, followed by grounded opinion, over tribalism.

Now excuse me while I go and try to practice what I just preached 😅

Hey now, beans on toast is a kingly feast! Grate some cheese on top... Pure comfort 😁

I'm doing my part! More to strengthen the EU, than to weaken the US, but: Cancelled all US tech subscriptions (not a small deal as a software dev). Cloud services all moved to Scaleway in France, AI migrated to Mistral, mail to Tuta, maps to Mapy.cz and more...

Do they really though? That's what writers want to write because it 'gets them views' - a malaise of modern media. I'm one of the 'people', I'd rather have a sober analysis.

Would you say they're at the top of that slippery slope, or part way down it already?

Maybe today's top brass wouldn't, but there are probably enough JD Vance types among the MAGA lovin' grunts to promote, to structure an army that'll take Trump at his word. If he says 'Europe were the enemy all along', enough times, with enough conviction...

Wouldn't have believed it myself until this year.

I think I found my jam! AnythingLLM self-hostable

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!
