Maybe a bit off-topic: For my PhD, I wanted to leverage LLMs and AI to speed up the literature review process*. Due to time constraints, this never really lifted off for me. At the time I checked (about 6 months ago), several tools were already available (NotebookLM, Anara, Connected Papers, ZotAI, Litmaps, Consensus, Research Rabbit) supporting Literature Review. They have all pros and cons (and different scopes), but my biggest requirement would be to do this on my Zotero bibliographic collection (available offline as PDF/ePub).

ZotAI can use LMStudio (for embeddings and LLM models), but at that time, ZotAI was super slow and buggy.

Instead of going through the valley of sorrows (as threatofrain shared in the blog post - thanks for that), is there a more or less out-of-the-box solution (paid or free) for the demand (RAG for local literature review support)?

*If I am honest, it was rather a procrastination exercise, but this is for sure relatable for readers of HN :-D

I can only show my laptop without stickers:

My girlfriend wanted to visit the US once in her life, but we decided to cancel the plans due to the current uncertainty. A German tattoo artist was detained because she had her work equipment with her. What will happen when I bring my phone and laptop as an IT guy?

There was a nice talk on the recent Chaos Communication Congress (from Chaos Computer Club):

I recently learned about this from one of my favourite German podcasts: https://freakshow.fm/fs286-zurueck-zur-vision (Starting at 2:50h)

Yes, see the German article: Gouvernment and Developer conflict about free speech, cyber bullying,, ... .

Glass bottles are 8 cents, if they are re-use. Re-use glass bottles with a clip closure are 15 cent (and there are still some other kind of bottles with 15 cent). If they are only single use, they are 25 cents (e.g. beer from Lidl).

In my area of Germany, we have some places where public toilets are not available as desired. Instead of build new ones, which are expensive, the local responsible persons found a nice solution. They pay bars to let their toilets used. Bars and restaurants, who join this initiative get a sticker on the front door. So you don't have to sneak inside to use the restrooms.

Off-Topic but somehow related: I was thinking about to use my iDevices as generic HDMI-Displays.

The afaik best app for doing this is Duet Display [1], if you want to use Mac/Win. But I want to use it for a Raspberry Pi for example. Duet display streams the display information to the own application via ethernet over lightning port.

HDMI itself is also some network protocol (dangerous superficial knowledge). Theoretically it should be possible to build a small device, which translates hdmi video/audio to the same kind of network via lightning port as duet and display?

What do you think? Do you see any pitfalls there, which I don't see?

I asked some friends from Indian (Jaipur, Pune, Delhi) and they do not confirm this.

First, you have to get the pressure from yourself. You need an imaginary stop-button in your brain go get away from all BS going on outside. Otherwise you are not able to think clear about your options.

Second, talk to a lawyer. I don't know where you are coming from, what kind of legal entity you are in (with your company? personal?). Worst case, you messed up and your company files bankruptcy. Depending on your country you are free of debts after few years, if you are even personal liable.

Third, start new company and make sure you learned from this.

Chin up!

Just had a DJI Phantom under the christmas tree :-) Glad to read this here

In Germany 'escorting' is not necessary related to prostitution like in other countries. Prostitution is legal in Germany, so you don't have to obscure it with 'escorting'.
