Original title: "LangChain Integration for Vector Support for SQL-based AI applications"

I don't believe that title conveys the actual significance of the article that makes it worthy of attention, so I hope HN may forgive me for coming up with an alternative title!

The original title was "LangChain Integration for Vector Support for SQL-based AI applications"

For some reason I really like this.

Or, "Why only one of the letters in 'AI' is valid". Not exactly a hot take, I know. We're so far beyond emperor's new clothes territory with "AI".

I use Obsidian (other note-taking apps and editor modes are available) and generally write at least a sentence about each bookmark. Subject areas get their own notes/bookmarks and I use the available linking and tagging options to try to make the resource more useful and easier to refer to in the future.


I might be misreading it, but that screenshot looks like an example of how you can disable the plugin for particular sites, like SO.

Whistlerite here. My Strava stats for last year suggest half and half eMTB and road riding. Tiny bit of fully self-powered MTB work.

As a 56-year old, eBikes are what make mountain biking possible and fun for me.


E-bikes keep people out riding for more hours.

Cooldown capability, and no fear of outriding your energy.


As a child in the 80s I was exceedingly nerdy. My loving and generous parents did nothing to discourage that. Indeed they encouraged my nascent interest in computers by regularly updating my ZX computers (80->81->Spectrum->48K etc.) and then Acorn computers. All gratefully received.

But then I was offered a C5 as a potential Christmas gift. "It's a Sinclair, you like those" was the approximate reasoning. But even I had to draw the line. There's only so much bullying one person can take. I was used to being laughed at for my fashion choices, my social awkwardness and my lack of sporting prowess. But a C5 would have been the final nail in the coffin.

Ungrateful? Certainly. But I think I made the right choice.

Yeah, I reminisced a bit in the thread about his death 5 years ago.

I did also get to play around in a C5 that they had at a secondary school that my father was teaching at (either Bassingbourn Village College or Collenswood School in Stevenage), must have been some time in the late 80s.

School in the UK in the late 80s was brutal.


That cane was no fun. It was around for one year when I was in juniors before it got banned. I can remember as clear as the day at the start of September us new boys were taken into the toilet by the headmaster (lovely guy actually) and given a demonstration of what waited for us should we mis-behave. Pink Floyd's "The Wall" was in the charts and it was a perfect experience of 1980s english schooling.


I’m in the same corner of the parties with you.

Also I’m passionately opposed to feathering billionaires’ nests, even with fractions of pennies of profit.

This story is funny, but also so so sad.


Pleased that I'm not alone. The comments here suggest that I should just bin my Mac and buy a Linux-capable machine instead since MacOS is now "unusable", "heinous", "diabolical", "worst OS EVER".

I updated, carried on enjoying the best desktop experience (IMHO). It's not perfect, but was and remains better than the alternatives for me. Very little "struggle".
