Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) Reducing Hallucinations in GenAI Apps
Products built on Large Language Models (LLMs) are brilliant yet flawed. Hallucinations occur when LLMs lack the private or domain-specific knowledge required to answer questions correctly.

In this post, we explain what RAG is and how it can help reduce the likelihood of hallucinations in GenAI applications.
That is certainly the case for the existing tunnel that links the Las Vegas conference center to the hotels nearby. Its a tiny narrow one way tunnel that holds one car width. You meet the Tesla and driver from the entry point and they, slowly, drive you through the tunnel, at about 25mph. Mass rapid transit it is not.
You don't have as many small cars in the US. Small EVs are MUCH heavier than small ICE cars. Think 30-40% heavier.
I’m fascinated by this rose-tinted view of Google as once being ‘good’, but somehow being ‘evil’ now. I watched this film lay out with Microsoft over decades, too.

But, TL;DR: Google and Microsoft have always been ‘evil’. We’re just arguing about which circle of hell they rule over.
My perspective on this is more like "the locals will work x amount of time to get by either way, and you are offering them to work x amount of time and get a better living, or maintain their standard of living at lower x." (replace "time" with "time x enjoyment lost from missed leisure time", i.e. opportunity cost of time, if you will). You win because you get the work done cheaper or get to get more work done than you would "back home", the worker wins because they have a better alternative they didn't have before.

This hinges on the fact that I assume that if you take a job for OpenAI over, say, working at the local market, or your local family business, or doing subsistence farming, ... (I don't know the employment history of Kenyans doing this) you do so because you consider the job at OpenAI, in your own judgment, the better alternative. This assumes some amount of agency in the decision, yes — I would not argue the same if you e.g. forced prisoners to do the work for below minimum wage or whatever and then went and said "hey at least they get two dollars a day more than zero" (I exaggerate). Also, again, this assumes you don't mislead them about the mental toll and then hold them "captive" with sketchy contracts or whatever.

It also seems to me that you have an underlying assumption that companies in the global north could collectively decide to outsource as much labor as they are currently outsourcing, at wage levels matching their "home countries", which I don't think is economically true.

As for your analogy, I think I see the equivalence you draw, but I'm not sure I agree with it. For me the most natural read would be that the "payment" here is the workers' time, the ring you throw is the pay for the job. In that case, the payment (time spent doing some kind of work) happens either way (weird world where you always have to pay for getting saved by some strange law of the universe, I guess), and you're just offering a better ring, or the same ring for less time.
The hard part is figuring out whether stuff like keyboard backlight will work. Even for popular developer models like the pixelbook, you google around and find two or three conflicting reddit posts that tell you it doesn't work but there's a fix in this link to a tweet that's been deleted.

I agree. Start by restoring access to the internet.
As far as I see it, you have three options:

Pick a measure. That’s what I mean by “effect is 0%”. It’s a straw man here.

Pick a fully specified model. This is a model that, up front, you could ask what is the probability of event E? For a normal distribution, this would require choosing concrete mean and standard deviation.

Pick an under-specified model. This would be that it’s normal, but you don’t pick the mean and standard deviation. You pull them from the sample. As I’ve described it here, you can’t get P(E) from that.

The expectation from our alternative hypothesis and model is that it’s fully formed before we look at the data. It’s a choice whether you want that to be the case or not with the null model. “Fair” as I’m describing it is that you would pick something.

> Early modern printed books are a much wider category, encompassing the entire period between ~1450 CE and ~1800 CE (I tend to date the end of the early modern period to the end of the Napoleonic Wars, 1815).

I have one from 1575 about plants and it is indeed beautiful. As I named my daughter after a plant (and she knows that) when she heard about the book and its content she asked me if "her plant" was in it: I had no idea so we looked into that old grimoire and... Turns out it's in there.

Over the centuries people (I have no idea who) did put actual plants in the book, at their corresponding pages, which I really dig.

It's not that rare: it was already "mass printed" and copies regularly show up for sale.

FWIW it's called Histoire des plantes by Fuchs (and it's a copy translated from latin to old french that I've got).
But by installing a self-signed certificate, that certificate is trusted for all apps, not only for mine – right? This seems like a broken permission model.

I only want permission to modify my own app, not every app of the system. If users have to trust me (and all other developers of self-signed applications) with permission to modify all apps, that makes the whole signing rigamarole kind of pointless.

But if I do want to try this approach, do I have to install the certificate in Trusted Root Certification Authorities, or should it be in Trusted Publishers, or Trusted People? The first one would grant me even more privileges that I don't need, but what about the other two?

Survivorship bias. Most monarchies were abolished, some in rather drastic ways, throughout the early modern and modern era. The UK/Commonwealth is just a lucky exception and now there's no strong impetus to abolish the monarchy that no longer plays a significant role in the day-to-day politics of these nations.

I'm always staying away from Brave because I've been confronted so many times with bait-and-switch tactics that I have the feeling that one day they will move away from being good and monetize all the collected data, even though they don't collect data.

I'm so skeptical that I'm just now starting to develop a feeling of trust towards DuckDuckGo.

In the browser domain, Mozilla is the only company of which I feel that it is genuinely pro-customer.

So I give all my stuff to Google and hope that they at least just protect it from hackers, while I am aware that they analyze my data in order to see how they can monetize me better, but at least with anonymity in regards to 3rd parties. I just hope I'm not wrong.

That makes two companies who both maintain their own Chromium forks and run direct competitors to core Google search products. I wonder if we'll see Google start to close off open development on Chrome - Microsoft will likely be fine, but that could put Brave in a precarious position.

Seems easy. Import it as a disk image, and that's it.

> keyboard macros [...] would work better by invoking a call to something that is already running to reduce startup time

Maybe, but that comes with two disadvantages:

- I would have to re-architect my scripts to work like that, and run a server with uncertain memory costs perpetually; and
- I would have to use something with faster start time to run the call on my keyboard macros, e.g. bash, which would mean writing bash instead of elixir/ruby and/or being clever.

I worked for a company with a few thousand employees.

HR had laptops with employee data on it stolen 3 times in two years. Each time they had left the laptop in their car after work when they went out to eat.

That is actually my entire original point. In other cultures I have lived in, addicts moderate their externalities more successfully because of a sense of personal standards / shame. They still care how they are perceived.

My whole point is that to a surprising degree of divergence, addict culture in the USA particularly has abandoned those norms in favor of overt caustic social interaction.
Yes. You've already distributed the binary to their machine and are using their resources to store it. In my view, it belongs to them and they should have full access.

It’s all classed as “Crown Land” - “The Crown” being a nebulous occulted entity that ostensibly belongs to the British Royal family, but in reality is a dark and esoteric form of trust run as a private company from the City of London - not part of the UK proper, and a law unto itself within the original Roman square mile of London not conquered by William the Conqueror…ie The King/Queen has to ask for the permission of the Lord Mayor of The City (not Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London) to enter it. It’s like a bit of a cabal that uses smoke and mirrors to hide the nature of its ownership of whole swathes of the Earth, while pretending to act in the name and interests of the British/Soverign. King Charles in reality/personally only owns a few estates like Sandringham in Norfolk and Balmoral in Scotland, as well as the Dutchy of Cornwall now recently passed to Prince William. Hence it’s a little mistaken to label the huge top block listed as belonging to King Charles, it doesn’t at all in actuality, he’s just the front man. The Crown also likely hold ultimate title to all the land listed under the names of all the Australian “landowners” too, when Aboriginal sovereignty was never ceded and is still basically unresolved, because it was taken with extreme force and contract placed on it when it clearly and obviously belonged to the non-contracting people who had been on that land for some 50,000 years.
Expansion into space would help mitigate a lot of things, and the more population pressure, with the accompanying increase in labour, the more likely that expansion is to take place.

After a large model is pretrained on a large corpus, it's not by default an instruction follower. You need an additional fine-tuning process to get it to follow instructions.

There are a number of ways to do that.

1. Supervised Fine-tuning. That is Fine-tuning on a corpus of instructions and responses

2. Reinforcement learning from Human feedback where the model trains to adjusts its responses based on feedback from humans

3. Reinforcement learning from AI feedback. Like above but with another LLM doing the rating/classifying.
I can't speak for Britain, but in Canada, it's not just that the people would get upset if the monarch decided to use the land differently. They are legally unable to. The courts are not subservient to the monarch, and the monarch is not above the law. Note that there is already legal precedent in Canada for the courts telling the monarch (through their representative, the Governor General) that their power is merely symbolic in nature. Not just a mere cultural norm, but enshrined through legal precedent. Charles can't do whatever he likes with the land without breaking the law.
That assumes consumers are entirely rational, totally informed beings. Except every economist knows that's not actually true. So you give the consumer option B to get them in the door, and then spring the cost of full self driving on them. Option B can even end up being more than option A.

There's more that goes into a product decision than technical superiority.
The crown is merely a legal concept that due to precedence (since common law countries place so much emphasis on precedence), had to be attached to a natural person who despite holding the title cannot really use its powers as they wish thanks to more precedence that evolved over the history of the UK.

Well, the article is correct that there is nothing unique to ISO on your comment. You can achieve all of that with an EXT-4 or NTFS filesystem too.

Our tooling evolves in some strange ways. The only reason you want an ISO is because some software insists that it can't use a simpler FS the same way. It's like the software that insisted on saving things into floppy drivers even after no computer had them anymore.

Of course, that software existing may be a good reason for the author to keep the ISO packaging. Or maybe not, I have no idea what is his context. But what you describe is a deficiency on your software, and not any intrinsic benefit from ISOs.
Some of these are clearly typos in the job listing. For instance 125k to 1.75M? I bet they meant 125k-175k... would be good for the site to filter on variance and hide jobs that have very large ranges

"My-iy-iy time don't loooose it."
That doesn't sound right, so since nobody else has piped up I decided to actually try to find the answer myself.

Volumetric numbers from the DOE suggest it went from 55 Wh/l in 2008 to 450 in 2020, which a compound interest calculator tells me is about 20% per year. Which is an awful lot.

Physics world says 80Wh/kg when Sony introduced them in 1991, and 300 today (although someone above said 270 is what ships), which looks like about 5.1%. But the lab experiment numbers are substantially more than that https://physicsworld.com/a/lithium-ion-batteries-break-energ... and shows that the exponential curve was visible back in about 2014. These of course have little to do with production numbers. The bigger the breakthrough the longer it takes to commercialize (or the more watered down it becomes to be commercialized). That was the wisdom when Wall Street was interested in new battery companies.

5% means every 14 years power doubles. We've been flirting with electric vehicles at least that long.
My mistake if I mistook you.

> hit the Cloudflare DNS rate limit during normal operation.

What I find implausible is that happening to a residential user, or even a apartment building full of them, frequently enough to matter unless some bit of software somewhere is doing something profoundly silly.

I believe essentially all mainstream DNS lookup functions retry multiple times with exponential backoff, so its not just ten in a second, its ten in a second over a series of sliding windows that evaporate when they are satisfied for a time. That's a lot of requests.
I think this refers to circuit switching (in the old telephone networks, when you called someone, the connection had to be physically established at the "intersections" by the phone network operators) vs. packet switching (where the underlying network is not changed, instead the data packet is forwarded from one "intersection" to the next and reaches its destination eventually).

You are mixing ownership with control. Ownership is a legal construct and therefore only exists within a given political-economic system. Control is a result of natural laws related to the application of force. Governments control their sovereign land and bestow ownership through the rules they have set. They can bestow ownership upon themselves, people, legal entities, or even no one at all.
You can make the same argument that pirating software is ok
For sure when that works that is easy. I don't have that option and don't know how common it is in actual hypervisors and not desktop VM software.

What I mean to say: with the RP2040 being an excellent chip to design with, and the Pico W flavour adding WiFi + Bluetooth, what reason(s) if any to add ESP32 to that?
