Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

They're great for document management. You can let it build indices, locally on your machine with no internet connection. Then when you want to find things you can ask it in human terms. I've got a few gb of documents and finding things is a bitch - I'm actually waiting on the miniforums a1 pro whatever the fuck to be released with an option to buy it without windows (because fuck m$) to do exactly this for our home documents.
a local search engine but shitty, stochastic, and needs way too much compute for “a few gb of documents”, got it, thanks for chiming in
Offline indexing has been working just fine for me for years. I don't think I've ever needed to search for something esoteric like "the report with the blue header and the photo of 3 goats having an orgy", if I really can't remember the file name, or what it's associated with in my filing system, I can still remember some key words from the text.
Better indexing / automatic tagging of my photos could be nice, but that's a rare occurrence, not a "I NEED a button for this POS on my keyboard and also want it always listening to everything I do" kind of situation
I wish that offline indexing and archiving were normalized and more accessible, because it’s a fucking amazing thing to have
