The people saying LLMs are better than google: Say you turn off your internet, is a local LLM better than having a few MB of files (all of wikipedia, all of your language's and all packages' documentation, etc.) downloaded? Why is that not an approach youre taking?
- _boffin_ 3y agoWho said it’s not. I’m trying to go in that direction
- asddubs 3y agozeal is a good app for local documentation in times of no internet. it's not very good if you're not just looking up something you know the name of, though
- lionkor 3y agoOh yeah, I love Zeal. Also manpages can be nice, and ripgrep and fzf are good for searching local files
- marcosdumay 3y agoI'd really use an LLM where you kinda explain a concept and it gives you back all of the names and jargon linked to it. The current crop of them were great at this for a few months. For some reason, they are not good anymore.
- carlosjobim 3y agoThere's no reason why people are down voting your comment. Excellent software like Dash makes finding code documentation offline easy. You'll still need online search for things you're not regularly looking up, but offline resources would save a lot of time for people who habitually put everything into Google.
