A free and alternative to 's GPT4 bots: HuggingChat Assistants: https://huggingface.co/chat/assistants
More info: https://huggingface.co/spaces/huggingchat/chat-ui/discussions/357
I tested it out by creating a college teaching coach bot: https://hf.co/chat/assistant/65bf9983c9dd6e648166811f
Another nice thing, other than being free, is that people can use it without having to log in or create an account.

dougholton,

Looks like you can share chat responses, too https://hf.co/chat/r/_Knv3JK

I'm constantly struck by how common it is to judge colleges (and private K-12 schools) not by the quality of the education they offer but by the number of applicants they manage to avoid admitting. Say it with me: "Selectivity and quality are completely different things."

dougholton,

@alfiekohn imagine judging hospitals by how many incoming patients they deny

"faculty teaching introductory college algebra rarely addressed students’ misconceptions, made references to their students’ prior knowledge, or employed metacognitive teaching strategies. Moreover, while being observed, faculty never applied a mathematical concept to real life. Moreover, mathematics instructors rarely praised their students" https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/87567555.2023.2221017

If you are testing out or using other apps like that on , I recommend enabling App Tracking Protection in the browser app, even if you aren't using the browser app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.duckduckgo.mobile.android
More info:
https://help.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/p-app-tracking-protection/is-app-tracking-protection-a-vpn/
Uninstall the app when done testing. The picture is from using threads just a couple minutes. Normally I'd recommend accessing sites like these in private mode, but threads doesn't work in the browser.

Does anyone know a "fast" local RDF store that can do SPARQL queries (or expose a SPARQL endpoint for queries + endpoint for adding triples)? I have a small tool using rdflib that needs to parse and query several very large graphs and I'd like to avoid deploying a dedicated triple store service.

You can always tell when prolonged exposure to social media has critically damaged a portion of someone's soul by the fact that when they make any statement online there is also an addendum addressing what they know the inevitable misreading or crappy response to that statement will be

dougholton,

@AbandonedAmerica same with mailing lists / email, too. I usually preface an answer to a question with something like "in case you find this useful" or similar, because occasionally someone interprets an answer to a question as 'this is the only answer and all others are wrong'
