You don't have to use vector search to implement RAG. You can use other search mechanisms instead or as well - whatever it takes to populate the context with the material most likely to help answer the user's question.

Two common alternatives to vector search:

1. Ask the LLM to identify key terms in the user's question and use those terms with a regular full-text search engine

2. If the content you are answering questions about is short enough - an employee handbook for example - just jam the whole thing in the context. Claude 3 supports 200,000 tokens and Gemini Pro 1.5 supports a million so this can actually be pretty effective.
>You're not going to be getting rich off those numbers, but that's more than enough to live an extremely comfortable life in the overwhelming majority of the world.

I guess you don't live in the US or Canada these days. Even if the game was $20, 12k copies sold is $168k raw revenue, after steam's cut. if you have 2 people working on it, you make above average revenue, for one year.

If you have 3 people working on the game, that is below median income for the US. And it gets worse for any assets you buy or contractors you need.

Even with 2 people, you have to remember that you don't get benefits from being a full time indie. so even 80k in this situation if it's a true 2 person team may not be so much much better off than flipping burgers with healthcare/dental built in. It's a rough economy right now.
At least in other places in Europe, and I assume also in UK, it's somewhat common for any sources of financing to new companies (i.e. without a proven steady cash flow), both banks and other investors, to explicitly require personal guarantees from the owner - so while technically you have a limited liability company, the lender will lend you money only if you accept full liability and put your house, car and other assets on the line. As the original post states, "investors spend too much time trying to mitigate downside risk with all sorts of protective provisions". So a company bankruptcy may result in a personal bankruptcy as well.
To add: this honeypot requires the employee to sign up using their corporate account. Corporate accounts are probably monitored internally.
But they did ask permission, and were denied.
System Prompt: You are a helpful crew member for the user's space vessel. You attempt to follow every detail of every command the user provides or question the user asks. If any detail is left ambiguous or unspecified, assume the worst possible interpretation.
If Apple slacks off in any way, some other company can step in with innovation and consumers benefit by increased choice and innovation. We shouldn't worry when a company slacks off except when its moats are illegal. If Apple's business power were properly regulated, they'd be forced to compete more of the time and when they didn't they'd face more consumer friendly Apple unfriendly results. Fix the antitrust enforcement and we'll fix the problem.
While true, we do try to make it as user friendly as we can, and do incorporate feedback from users. We've also hired a lot of our support staff from our customers, so I frequently ask them for advice when designing new modules and features.

We're a small but growing company, so I've been planning on incorporating more methodical approaches to see where we might improve going forward.

I'm primarily concerned with providing a great product for our users. However I do hope it has a positive effect reducing the load on support.

It can be challenging though. We might provide great training but then that employee moves on and their replacement doesn't get the same training, so they don'tunderstand fully what they're supposed to do or how our software fits in their processes. And users are often not very technical, while the processes they need to perform often can get somewhat technical due to regulations or similar aspects outside of our control. Guiding the unsure users while not getting in the way of the seasoned ones can be a delicate act.
And you think Games are different?
Vertical scrolling is a much less tedious interaction than pinching and zooming back and forth to different sections of a 2D plane.

On the other hand, the spatial benefits to such a plane helps people remember where to look if they want to return to a section, whereas with endless scrolling, it's nearly impossible to find something you saw before until you happen upon it again scrolling back up for an indeterminate amount of time.

This makes me think it would be useful for mobile browsers to allow adding temporary scroll bookmarks while using a page. It'd be useful for browsing lots of items, restaurant menus, on a single page, etc.

("that looks good" [bookmark scroll position] ... [keep scrolling] ... [tap icon to return to the previously saved position])

Discarding someones statement because you say they have a conflict of interest is the most basic of ad hominem. You are discarding what they are saying not on grounds of disproving what they said but rather on who they are.

I didn't say I trust them. You are taking the words I have written and basically overridden what you think I said with what I actually said. No one else can be trusted to have a good take on this except the experts. Fusion is complex topic. You either know what you are talking about (Also known as, you are an expert) or you don't know. If you don't know what you are talking about your opinion on the matter is based on nothing. I rather listen to the expert even though he might have a conflict of interest.

I suppose every generation of programmers has to rediscover this and it can’t hurt to keep writing articles and books about it.

From The Elements Of Programming Style , 1978, by Kernighan and Plauger, rule one: “Write clearly – don't be too clever.”

The whole book, a short read, spells out principles and wisdom from experience that all programmers would benefit from.
Accurate, the last part will be the hard part, but we must learn how to.
The model involves artificial scarcity and setting examples. You don't give a passport to 1000 people, charge $5 and you have $5000 charge $500 and you have $50 000, charge $5000 and you have $100 000, charge $20 000 and you have $200 000. I know one story where a prison charged 1 million for release. If extended family is not extremely poor they should really put their 3-50 k into the bag each to avoid all kinds of free services like torturing the victim and getting abducted themselves.

If you [say] didn't buy the passport it is only fair to put you in prison? $20 000 is much more value for money than you think!
I was just recently on a youtube trip listening to all his talks and interviews. Also read some stuff, But I need to get the 'Computer Engineering' book. And I love history, and he did so much both as a participant, analyst and historian. Defiantly want to learn even more.

Condolences to all who knew him.
Came here to say this. Seems like a slam dunk to me.
The simultaneous announcement also discusses non-strategic nuclear weapon usage.

Surely the Russians are making the world a better place by considering non-strategic uses of nuclear weapons.
I may misused the term but I meant the functionality you describing (automatic SubShapeBinder generated based on selected edges) plus ability to export multiple geometries.

These features greatly simplify and speedup design of parts and they are the part of missing experience for users coming from other CAD. I also eagerly looking forward to getting them in the main branch.
I've only been able to solve the RNN problem because out of frustration I tried every combination possible. It was 3 edges.

When I got to the second one without any stated goal or meaning, and it said "19 edges", I gave up.

So why the 8 minute offset? I think they never said?
If I visit a website and there is a tiny link to the terms of service on the bottom of it, there is no reasonable interpretation that I have ever agreed to them.
Well, Weird Al is singing funny songs to a niche group of people, while Sam Altman is creating cutting-edge AI known and used throughout the world. Very different audiences.

Yeah, big business needs to be held to higher standard since they have so much power and affect so many people (and this higher standard is especially important since AI is uncharted territory and also since OpenAI already had a failed coup)
As soon as "missing period" was mentioned I suspected it would be about SMTP.
> to risk becoming a squeaky wheel.

One of my previous managers told me that they kept me exactly because "I am not a sheep," i.e. because it required non-zero effort to convince me to do anything, and I always tried to poke holes in any proposals. So, in a healthy organization, this would not be a risk.
Theoretically yes. Which is why they disclaim that right in their work contract for a voice acting gig.

Believe it or not, these issues have been around for decades, and have been well settled for nearly as long.
Huh.

>> The study also highlighted a new product, a turbulence nowcast, that combines numerous data sources to produce forecasts that are updated every 15 minutes – providing air carriers, all users of the National Airspace System and the air traffic controllers who support them – timely and critical safety information about locations and severity of potential turbulence. The turbulence nowcast is not yet widely used so the NTSB recommended the FAA and the NWS work together to fully implement its adoption and use in the national airspace system.
Well by units I was talking about something more akin to differential forms, which distinguish radians and the like just fine.

Stable diffusion is essentially "slow", yet wildly popular so I'm not sure I agree.
>OpenAI's mistake was caving to SJ. They should have kept Sky and told SJ to get lost. If SJ sued, they could simply prove another voice actor was used and make the legitimate argument that SJ doesn't have a monopoly on voices similar to hers.

Yes, they should have not reached out again, but now they are screwed. In no way will they want a trial and associated discovery. SJ can write her own ticket here.
Yes, but if you don't have the LLM at the end, a good search (against a good corpus with the needed info) would still have given the user what they wanted. Which in this case, is a human vetted piece of relevant information. The LLM really only would be useful in this case for dressing up the result and that would actually reduce the trust in the result overall. Alternatively a LLM could play a role as part of the Natural language pipeline that drives the search, hidden from the user, and I feel that that's a much more interesting use of them.

The farther you go with RAGs, in my experience, the more they become an exercise in designing a good search engine, because garbage search results from the RAG stage always lead to garbage output from the LLM.
It might become more widely used when it’s integrated into commonly used software. For example, if Siri has an option for it, or it becomes the default option for Google. I don’t think regular users seek it out, though.

I was with you until the last sentence. Removing borders makes it harder. Not being able to see the actual area of a clickable target makes it harder. I never had trouble knowing what to click in the early 2000’s, when UI was ostensibly more dense.
That's really interesting. Can you give any examples of how you do that?
most games are made by entrepreneurs because the best creators are either in industry, too broke to afford to create and took some different job, burned out of the industry for a myriad of reasons, or are one of the few gems out there (which may or may not be hidden).

>It's ridiculous, and when people ask something, they get total balooney, ridiculous botlike answers.

This isn't limited to r/gamedev. Reddit is asking the blind to lead the blind, and maybe once in a blue moon you get an actual expert to help. They often leave once they realize everyone else is blind and questioning their experience, though*.

Sadly, the best place to find the best answers is to find people live. Be it in town, during a conference, or just hoping they accept a cold invite on their social media and choose to respond.

>I don't think that's the case. Just look at the 90s, early 2000s.

yes, you neede to know someone at Nintendo (or later, Sony) just to get your game in there, know how to make your own assets and levels without a high grade commercial engine, and get Nintendo/Sony to approve it. There were a lot of gatekeepers to making an indie game back then, so there were almost none.

Meanwhile, Shareware was hard to profit off of on PC (remember, it was not commonplace to have a digital wallet back then). There may be some great games, but few would be profitable without launching on console, being on store shelves, and overall supporting a propreitary machine.

(*me being an example. Though calling myself an "expert" is an overstatement. 10 years in industry isn't nothing, but also is far from authority level in any technical field).

I think it's the getting paid to do it part that will get people fired.
We don’t want that. Investors want that.
I've seen people complain about wrapping a comprehension over multiple lines, but I can't imagine packing them all in one. In your example, I would spread it out over five lines, so it would be at as long as the imperative case.

While I like python, I think the unusual order that components of a comprehension are written is to its detriment. It would make more sense if they were in the same order in both examples. The python ternary has a similar issue.
I still think it should be offered as a preference to people. Pages and content requiring high cognitive load is difficult for a lot of people, so packing information too densely can feel overwhelming, making people lose their place as they're browsing through content.

It's the same reason we have paragraphs in writing, rather than walls of text. We need tools that help us spatially recognize + remember content so we have a relative frame of reference to quickly get back to something we're looking for.

It's the same reason we have pages in a book -- not just that it's easier to carry a book versus a long scroll of paper, but it's objectively easier for our minds to handle the limited amount of content each page provides, as we get ready to flip to the next. The amount of pages we've read in a book also give us a natural indication of progress.

In a similar way, UIs that are split up a little better give those of us who do get overwhelmed a better way to organize the content we're looking for. This is why the majority of web apps have distinct views dealing with different content and reachable utility dealing with that content.
I thought knowledge, at least the best type comes from primary sources and from repeatable experiments with explicit premises as much as possible. This makes it sound like all knowledge is hearsay. If it is, what is the point of a place like Wikipedia or even an encyclopedia?
My employment contracts have never specified anything of the kind. I suspect it’s just illegal where I live.
Thank you. I didn’t know it was similar specifically for voices in commercial use.

That’s annoying, but we live in a country with lots of annoying laws that we nonetheless abide by. In this case I guess OpenAI just didn’t want to risk losing a court battle.

I still think legal = moral is mistaken in general, and from a moral standpoint it’s bogus that OpenAI couldn’t replicate the movie Her. It would’ve been cool. But, people can feel however they want to feel about it, and my personal opinion is worth about two milkshakes. But it’s still strange to me that anyone has a problem with what they did.
std::ranges::fold_left (since C++23) can take a range directly instead of a separated pair of iterators, and requires the explicit add.
The approach described above is what is commonly referred to as RAG[0]. I am not aware of someone having used it on Wikipedia but, from experience and while it helps, it does not eliminate all hallucinations.

As this is now basically a bundle with Networking for Systems Administrators. I have, at this point, spent years thinking of things to suggest to update it and can’t come up with anything. I suggest all new Unix and cloud people at my work read it. It will make a great companion book to RYOMS. Really looking forward to this one.
So the voice of the AI in the film "Her" who do you think has more rights to it being reused elsewhere in association with AI? The voice actor? The film owners? Why then the current news?
So it’s fine if you do it for free, but not if you take the same action for payment?
> then why should OpenAI not find a similar voice and use that instead?

Yeah, Terminal.app isn’t necessarily better than iterm2, depending on what you need out of your terminal emulator. The latter’s got more features, for sure. The Mac platform’s just blessed with two way-above-average terminal emulators, one installed by default, is all I mean.
Mostly, yeah - although

Good poems give you clear meaning now, and deep meaning later.

I think probably great code is like that, too. It’s clear in how it addresses the immediate needs, but it’s deep in how it sets up addressing later, subtler, or less proximal needs.

Git itself comes to mind. At the basic level, it’s super straightforward: you have diffs, you put them in a row, that’s a branch. Easy. Clear.

Then you want to do something weird, and lo and behold, you can. The “cleverness” - maybe call it the “clever simplicity” - that it’s built out of makes it possible, and “easy”. The deep part of the poem, that you didn’t need to understand in the beginning, starts becoming apparent and meaningful.
But if you do join, you will get recommendations about which new ‘coin’ you should buy if you don’t want to “stay poor”! ;)

He's wrong because the alternative is not bigger, heavier and fatter, the alternative is the same form factor with days more of battery life. An iPad Air with one less display panel could fit more battery and with a more efficient, less power oriented APU could use less battery. Combined, Apple could have added meaningful battery longevity that it instead sacrificed for a brighter screen and better performance in rare and extreme workloads.
85% of Neuralink implant wires are already detached, says patient
Agreed, as someone with significant experience with SolidWorks, and varying experience in Creo and NX, Onshape is the only "free" CAD software that has equivalent user experience to any of those, just such a shame that Onshape's "Free" option sucks and their paid option is obviously not priced for hobbyists. Fusion360 is workable, but its user experience is pretty terrible compared to any of the commercial packages I've got experience in.

My ask for a free CAD software would really be for someone to go through and take the robustness and speed of Creo and combine it with the user friendliness of Solidworks, even if it were to have a fairly limited feature-set to start.
Why donations? Supporter plan, without any additional benefits or fictional ones and with a tiny price will do.

As for the FreeCAD Project Association, thanks for the tip, that's already included. I prefer to spread the butter all over the bread I'm eating, if I can say it that way.
Apropos of all the valid concerns with this, I don't think "being asked by someone outside the company to do something at the company you currently work for" would ever be described as "undisclosed second employment".
This is an interesting post. Thank you to share your thoughts.
