[21:47:12] norex Instead of an offline LLM on your phone, why not just download a copy of wikipedia and have it auto-update every day or so?

[21:47:31] norex Maybe a set of maps too.

[21:47:55] norex seems more useful in an emergency situation.

[21:48:31] norex I think those would be the 3. Offline map data, wikipedia and the WiGLE database.

[21:48:57] norex probably fit all those on an SD card these days.

[21:49:58] norex Hell, keep a few SD cards in your wallet. Those guys can hold a TB now.

[21:50:05] norex !bang

[21:51:50] norex Information about places, useful equations, a primer on various fields etc.

[21:51:59] norex In an easily searchable package.

[21:52:25] norex Versus and LLM which is basically natural language search of the training data set.

[21:52:29] norex an*

[21:52:59] norex agreed.

[21:53:44] norex Phone has the benefit of a GPS module though, which doesn't need much connectivity + sensor package.

[21:53:49] norex couple with offline map data.

[21:54:13] norex and then WiGLE so you've got the best guess for where to find an unsecured internet connection.

[21:54:35] norex again, download and keep the db up to date.

[21:55:09] norex probably set the phone to lowest power mode, grayscale screen etc.

[21:55:53] norex small solar panels are a thing. In a true national emergency we'd have plenty of larger problems i.e. clean water and sewage.

[21:56:15] norex I'm thinking more personal emergency or localized issues rather than full societal collapse

[21:56:58] norex fair

[21:57:26] norex In that case, having some tools to figure out where the nearest on-grid location might not hurt
