I would suggest Hammunition, https://github.com/Renegade-Penguin/Hammunition with install docs at https://renegade-penguin.github.io/Hammunition/ . Hammunition offers much more info than Nomad for SHTF type emergencies. Hammunition uses KIWIX tools instead of an LLM to search the reference sources that you downloaded (eg. Wikipedia, etc.). You can install it on a Linux distro on a 500 GB external SSD drive that you can pick up for $100 at Microcenter. It is geared toward people interested in ham radio, but you can listen only on the ham radio bands without a ham license.

The search engine is nice but it has a very short maximum query length and complexity allowance.

The video looks nice but it has quite a few significant technical inaccuracies which you can easily verify for yourself by asking your favorite AI chatbot about it.

I had AstaBrief produce a report on the query: Compare the pros and cons of various methods of batch normalization in AI applications? The report was terrible with numerous errors in reasoning and in the way that numbers were reported - way too many errors to take the time to enumerate and argue about here. Just run your own experiment with a sufficiently difficult question that does not just require some simple fact lookup and you will see what I mean.

There is no weblink to review your Terms of Service when signing in - are there any fees associated with using this app?

I don't get this app - I entered US in the search bar and it only found 1 radio station?

This is great! It looks like projects can only be searched one month at a time - it would be nice to be able to search over all time in one search?

From a couple cursory convos with AI chatbots without stratifying by age group of the first node, it looks like the average number of hops in the social network would be around 1.7 to 2 hops (just counting those who knew someone killed immediately on 9-11). But the average number of hops probably has a bimodal distribution depending on whether the first person has a lot of people in their social newtwork from either NYC or Washington, DC area.

It would be interesting to see the numerical results both ways to see the effects with and without 9-11 induced fatal diseases.

About one in five of the people who were alive on 9-11 would have died by now. But my original question is about the average number of hops in the social network of everyone alive today (in the U.S.), which would include people born after 9-11. I would have made my original title longer but HN seems to have a limit on the number of characters in the title.
