I don't get how someone with lots of technical knowledge would think that an offline #LLM is a better solution to internet censorship than fucking #Kiwix . You know you can just, download all of #StackOverflow onto any device, right? And that it's basically the same data the LLMs are trained on? Except you won't get hallucinations?

Sometimes I love nerds

Bye #StackOverflow you had a good run!

Another popular #stackoverflow answer that is spectacularly bad: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5319855/471164

#StackOverflow just now.

#python folks, I'm at my wits’ end, and could use an assist. Attempting to build a python container image, and #pip install —no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt fails _every_time_ on a sha256 mismatch on a different downloaded transient dependency .whl. Every time a failure, Every time a different package. No obvious networking issues. #stackoverflow is useless.

Any halp?

Ever wanted to do something with the #stackoverflow data dumps but found their multi gigabyte XML files too hard to deal with?

SEqlite's for you! It's the info from the dumps you probably care about, preprocessed into SQLite databases with indexes.
