Here's a short video of me using fisk-ai to make a local RAG based knowledge base using the Puppet documentation.
You can go from zero to fully built knowledge base in about a minute. No services to run, no databases to run etc.
You can optionally expose this as a local MCP server so you can teach other AI harnesses about your local documentation. But the aim is to build a all-local capable system for your private docs.
This is the main feature added in version 0.0.2.…

How Raiders' Run Game Continues To Evolve in Training Camp https://www.si.com/nfl/raiders/onsi/las-vegas-how-run-game-continues-evolve-training-camp
So, I'm still experimenting with locally run LLMs (powered by solar cells!) for writing some inconsequential data mangling stuff for my "vintage cameras" hobby; it's quite interesting how the development cycle with these LLMs sort of drives home that LLMs are completely useless for almost anything they're advertised for, like writing (for humans).
The thing is: coding is the use case that LLMs are by far most suitable for and they still largely suck at it.
There's immense amounts of training data of correctly functioning code, there's tons of documentation, a lot of code is in repositories that include the full history of its development including why stuff was changed in small bits, code itself is the simplest of "human" languages and mathematically non-ambiguous, code can be checked in small bits for correctness by just running it, in many languages simple code snippets can be written to introspect on the code (e.g. find out what methods an object supports, so an LLM can query the language or libraries themselves in addition to the user) and perhaps most importantly: code is always and has always been very similar to other, existing code as most software serves the ever same repetitive use cases, both in detail and on a high level.
YET… using LLMs to code requires countless iterations to get there, both internally in the LLM (to get the code even running in the first place) and together with the user to make it do the right thing. And even when it's "there" the code is mediocre at best, and often veering into appalling.
And this is expected to just work on the first try on much more complex issues like writing for humans? Transcribing doctors? Having legal opinions? Identifying fraud? lol, sure

A parameterizable consensus brain graph, derived from connectomes of 477 people, each computed from MRI datasets of the Human Connectome Project. Nodes are brain regions, and edges are weighted by the number of "tracks" that run between two nodes, as well as fiber length, fractional anisotropy and the number of occurrences in each of the 477 individuals.
This network has 1015 nodes and 121755 edges.

Our (potentially) glorious sodium battery future
I've been paying attention to batteries for years now. Years ago, my interest was to see if I could build a bicycle stand light that would run on a battery that was trickle-charged from the bicycle's magneto hub. I spent a while reading about batteries at "Battery University", I knew a little bit about NiCad batteries and their memory effect, and about Nickel Metal-Hydride batteries and their slow self-discharge.
