Local Chatbot RAG with FreeBSD Knowledge

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-07-28 23:48:49

Out of multiple conversations with people at BSD conferences, I noticed that many would love to see a chatbot that provides precise information on FreeBSD—for users, admins, and developers. I strongly believe that there should not be an official chat.freebsd.org . Local chatbots work well and can be tweaked to fit personal needs. This documentation is written for macOS with Apple Silicon (because of the GPU support), but should work on other OSes as well. Step 1: Install Ollama (API for Multi

In February, as the disastrous effects of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency's gutting of federal agencies started to emerge, the agency's figurehead Elon Musk took to the stage of the Conservative Political Action Conference and waved a chainsaw in the air. Standing alongside Argentinian president Javier Milei, Musk wielded the shiny metal-plated prop to send a blunt message: the federal government's budget was being slashed beyond recognition. Many months later, the devastatin

And yes, AI is involved, but don't roll your eyes just yet. Sampath laid out changes to

The Travel Writer's Dilemma: Share, or Gatekeep?

news.ycombinator.com Pico Iyer 2025-09-04 19:14:22

No reviewer of books or movies faces this predicament, and if an overlooked novel or documentary suddenly wins recognition, most of us rejoice. But destinations are fragile, on several fronts — many can’t bear the weight of thousands. While sailing around Antarctica, even as I marveled at its otherworldly beauty, I was selfishly glad that not many visitors are permitted there, so precarious is its environment. Sometimes, therefore, I simply delight in the fact that my tastes are not the same as
