Sorry, no simple answer here, though I did find one service free for up to 100 users: https://groups.io Any "service", as opposed to software you install on your own system, needs to be paid for, ...
There are many vector search libraries and engines for use in machine learning, apis, databases, and programs. https://github.com/currentslab/awesome-vector-search has a list of some of them. For ...
LLMs (AI) have limited context windows which makes it challenging to include all necessary context in the prompt. A common solution is a memory book. The memory book stores arbitrarily large amoun...
[Comcast] said normally small businesses get a plan from a second internet provider, for example AT&T, to reduce the chances of the internet going down. I am wondering if that is actually the...
I am new to DokuWiki and have done the basic setup for a private wiki. I want to use it as an alternative to a spreadsheet I've been using to track my ratings and other notes for a category of pro...

I would handle this with git bisect. Assuming you have a known good old commit C_GOOD (this would be your "since") and a known bad new commit C_BAD (this would be your "until"), git bisect start C_...

SVG apparently has an <animate> tag which can do this. The thing you would animate is the offset of the points/dashes on the line. This is called <stroke-dashoffset>. It sounds like y...
Since the update to macOS 14.0 Sonoma, I every now and then get the following pop-up while typing. At first it is just the blue circle with "US": When I click on it, the white part with "DE" app...
Your only real option here is redundancy. Besides what manassehkatz explained already, you can also open a second office in a different location. It seems unlikely that internet would fail in two ...

The QR code for Time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) just contains some secret info[1] to seed the TOTP app.[2] You can dump it into another implementation of TOTP. The seed and the current time wi...

When I set a file's language as "INI" in VS Code, and use the "comment" command, it uses ; as the comment character. Is there a way to make it use # instead?
