Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

my attention span can never do these.
someone has to near-literally force my hand into learning anything for me to do so, and even then I’ll get put on academic probation from a for-profit now-defunct arts college.
Treat it like a menu not a curriculum and it can help you build a hobby and learn as well. Just learn what you want. Then when you get stuck due to a gap in knowledge you'll be more interested in learning the solution.
Start with a python script to scrape the weather or some news that interests you and turn that into an rss feed. Or anything really.
Thanks for the encouragement.
Right now I’m trying to make an online shop for a friend’s hobby, and did some web stuff when I was a teen, but I always get hung up on php/mysql stuff.
It doesn’t help I’m a minimalist cheapskate and am trying to use the bare minimum to set her up (namely nearlyfreespeech hosting— which doesn’t hold your hand; and drupal). I’ll get far enough and hit a roadblock, step away, then come back and forget where I was and just start over.

It's a RAG that will only answer questions about the selected repo (drupal in this case) less likely to hallucinate as it'll only pull from the github docs, but it can still hallucinate. Also uses less resources as it's not searching all known training data.
It is still an LLM though so if you don't like any "AI" I wouldn't use it.
