That is fair, I HAVE INDEED seen similar of those anecdotes. However, I still am skeptical of the file analogy. LLMs are good at traversing traditional file systems because file/tree-like structures very likely…
It’s interesting to me how many people articulate things like the “Preiminary Truths” section as if they are novel insights. Effective people managers (of whom I would not specifically consider myself) have known these…
A good tool is invisible such that it is highly opinionated and nails the 80, 90, 99% use cases in terms of making assumptions regarding logical defaults. Restated, the tool understands the process and what a “good”…
Reminds me of that guy in Berlin who caused traffic jams on Google Maps by walking around with a wagon filled with phones: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2020/feb/03/berlin-ar...
Personally, for any kind of serious reading, I have to go to a place/room with zero opportunities for distraction. No noise, no surrounding commotion, even slightly dimming lights helps. My retention rate drops…
In my experience, boilerplate sql isn’t even something I would consider a big pain point. The biggest challenge (to me) is explicit data contract enforcement across the stack. I haven’t personally had third-party ORM…
As someone who has historically spent a lot of my time with C#, and now spend most of my days writing python… LINQ is typically what I miss most from C#… (obviously aside from static types and compiled binaries).
We understand more than you’ll never know.
Most upscaling and super-resolution techniques I’ve seen use various implementations of interpolation; typically nearest-neighbor approaches. Although I don’t work in the medical field and haven’t checked in on the…
Sturgeon’s Law abounds. I’ve always found that most books within or similar to Ferris’ genre hold a nice message but are 90 fluff. He picks on summarization as the sort circuit and claims the lived experience imbued…
Could it be possible that Zuck has a Llama-shaped magic 8-ball to which he has fully committed himself to “dogfooding” an AI-only strategy to his responsibilities in the company? “[Ll]esus take the wheel”
Very cool! Analog mono has a very “Christmas sweater” vibe.
I can also relate here, seeking a product review on Sony wh1000x_, Google wrote a nice seeming summary, but scrolling down to some Reddit discussions, stumbled upon a single comment that was very nearly verbatim what…
I agree with the sentiment, but native ads i.e. blogs, reviews, articles, etc. that do their best to hide that they’re a sponsored product review have been around for a long time. Admittedly, LLMs WILL make it even more…
So many questions: Is “the goal of Search” really: “to help you ask _anything_ on your mind”? If “reimagined Search” is “designed to anticipate your intent”, Would it correctly infer my intent to not utilize an agentic…
I have been saying this and viscerally reacting to this “contrastive language” for months. it… “hits different”… “Load-bearing” is a new one for me though, yuck.
THANK YOU, 1000% agree. I call this style “contrastive language”, and find it viscerally unpleasant. It is a pithy attempt to be overly attention-grabbing and “punchy”. Everything that is (was?) wrong with social media…
“Wow, can’t believe our metrics this month, usage is way up! all our users are maxing out their token limits, KPI already achieved for the quarter!”
It came to my attention recently how many TOTAL objects currently exist in LEO. And that a study said that due to light deflection of these objects, that the earth’s night sky is an average of 10% brighter than it was…
That’s fair, the “practically plagiarize” comment was admittedly harsh and quickly written.It’s obviously an allusion to the paper. Nevertheless, referencing the LFR work and merely including a link where the paper is…
How on earth can you write an article that practically plagiarizes the title, mention the paradox, and neither mention mandelbrot nor cite the original paper anywhere!?…
In what industry do you work?
Nice writeup. I’m curious why you went with chromadb and not pgvector. I haven’t built a rag system myself, but I’ve always understood the initial doc parsing to be a major challenge alone, so kudos there! Additionally,…
Very much this, it’s all the technical rigour, code debt, and none of controls/reversibility. At least when I report fraud to credit card or my bank, they can stop or undo/chargeback a transaction.
