[addition for LocalDocs: recent news/events] ZIP file with +300 PDF news articles between 2024.01.01 and 2024.02.28

[SINAPSA-IC]

Documentation

Hello.

I have put together, for use as a LocalDocs collection, some 300 (three hundred) news articles and a few science papers between January 01, 2024 and February 28, 2024.
This set is increasing by the day (open the news in browser->Print->PDF printer, or Save, if it already is a PDF like the science papers are) and I use it as a LocalDocs collection, to ask the LLMs about recent events - for instance, if curious how's the weather in Detroit, then Mistral (at least) will respond using the PDF dated 2024.02.27 about the record-breaking 73 degrees in February; or, what's the land area engulfed by flames in Texas; or, who's won the Michigan caucuses today... you'll be told.

News sources: many, among which: Al Jazeera, Associated Press, Axios, Bloomberg, CNBC, CNN, Daily Mail (what), DNyuz, Fox, France24, Guardian (UK), Medium, NHK, NPR, PBS, Politico, reddit (yay), Semafor, The Sun (whatwhat), Wired, ZeroHedge.

Language of news: English (almost all items), other (Polish, Russian, Spanish, ~10 items, irrelevant)

The ZIP file:

• name: _localdocs_for_gpt4all_news_2024jan01feb28.zip
• size: 1,096,435 KB (~1 GB)
• contains: 333 PDF files
• all PDFs created by Printing from browser 1) to CutePDF and 2) if possible, after Simplifying the page without trimming the text contents of the original news article.
• file naming following the convention:
  -- yyyyMMdd-nameofinfosource-titleofnewsarticle.pdf
  for instance,
  20240228-CoinTelegraph-OpenAI accuses New York Times of hacking AI models in copyright lawsuit.pdf
• the files therein are in a folder named the same which can be Added as a LocalDocs collection in GPT4All
• uncensored: various sources of information, various references-opinions by/about "controversial" individuals ref "controversial" events/situations
• all SFW

Everyone interested can download it from my website (which is old and legit to boot), at the address:
[(http://sinapsaro.ro/frees/_infos/_localdocs_for_gpt4all_news_2024jan01feb28.zip)]

• if it cannot be found, 404, this most probably means that it is being uploaded right then and you should wait a few minutes until the upload finishes.

It will be deleted on 2024.02.29, at ~17 UTC/GMT.
So maybe someone who downloads it would want to share it, too, or use it to train an LLM...

If anyone is interested in other such packages, feel free to let me know: the "archive" goes back to early 2003 (although most of the files until ~2010 are .mht).

A go to give it, you may.

Thank you.

This ZIP will be deleted today and replaced with the current one - updated with news from February 29, 2024 and possibly older.
So it is good that those interested should download it again, when announced here, or even from time to time as it is being updated quite frequently (every 3 hours, or so).

Please let me know if I should open a dedicated channel (to Nomic, perhaps) for such ZIPs with current events, in order not to post the /links here and clutter the Discussion list.

Thank you.

I think it is best if you keep these ZIP distributions to a single discussion thread on GitHub. If you want to notify the community when you post new ones, you could mention them on the Discord in #gpt4all-chat - and of course, users can subscribe to a discussion to receive instant notifications when there is an update.

Hello Thank you for the ideas. Yes, the updates are the issue... how to announce them... but then again, when a "common" user is complaining about something wrong with these local docs, who's to know if all the files in there have been engaged in the RAG, or not... I'll try doing as you said, placing it on Discord. In the meantime, I'll try and delete this /old post on GitHub, let's see if I can 🙂
