Show HN: I build an editor-style RAG app
IncarnaMind is my first web project. I have been looking for a reliable RAG tool with interactions different from traditional QA. After trying many apps, I was not very satisfied with them. I decided to create one myself, and now the MVP is finished. I hope everyone can give me some feedback. Thanks.
I have a large doubt regarding this-- what about Hindi-English hybrid?

Spanglish has been around for a long time, so while it may have the most number of potential speakers at almost half a billion Hispanophones, there are about a quarter billion Hindi speakers, and even more than that when you include the variants and offshoots of it which are linguistically compatible which have English hybrids. As more people are exposed to English media in countries that speak those languages I can see it being a "faster growing linguistic hybrid". Places that already have a lot of exposure to English media would already likely have English language hybrids.
It seems like the most corrupt time with the government almost entirely asleep at the regulatory switch. Perhaps that's just a coincidence that so many "miraculous" results seem to exist.
Would you also categorize antibiotics as too good to be true because the trade offs are relatively minor?
Actually I find this to be exactly the opposite (absurdism is pessimistic) because of the way our(my?) brains are wired to have existential thoughts, I think existential thoughts are fundamental in a way that formalized existentialism is not.

When I was a theist I would sometimes lay awake at night wondering if maybe I was wrong and everything was meaningless!

Once I was NOT a theist I would sometimes lay awake at night wondering if maybe I was wrong and everything has meaning!

Believe that everything is meaningless, truly believe it and you realize how little is known. Oh, sure I still believe everything is absurd... but late at night... what if everything is full of meaning? My knowledge is unfortunately not exhaustive.

I think no matter how deeply you investigate reality, and how many hypothesis and traditions self select out as untenable or plain false, intellectual humility is the real basis for happiness.

I also now suppose that increasing knowledge and "unknown reduction" is basically the foundational basis for morality as a species as well.

And I think this may actually be a decent and grounded basis for moral reasoning and moral realism.

I don't know a single religion that actually says we should pursue real ignorance, that uplifts ignorance as a state to pursue and increase. Unlearning "false" knowledge, sure, unlearning "habits", sure, but stupidity and ignorance, Pignorance if you will, are never viewed as the state we should pursue.

So I think the basis of morality and moral reasoning is a system that maximizes the number of avenues of pursuing knowledge. The greater the number of free (not in the deterministic/freewill sense) moral agents we can have running in our universe over time the more likely we are to find something if it is out there (over time.), and if not? Well, that's for a future generation to worry about if they ever manage to square the circle.
> little more focused on problem solving

I actually had a great ER experience along these lines. I felt bad being there after it became clear that I was going to be fine while there was a lady wailing in pain about 10 feet away, but at least I left with a lot of things to discuss with my regular doctor and I at least knew when I should/shouldn't worry in future situations.

>The law of supply and demand is not an enacting force, it's an observation of behaviour.

Economic behavior is not physical law. Awareness of economic behavior can change behaviors. For example if you observed that ice cream stocks went up the day that hot weather was forecast you'd quickly find yourself in a battle to predict when it was going to be hot at earlier and earlier dates.

>happily pay a lot more than is necessary when you can employ some clever marketing tricks.

And the marketing trick is called lowering supply.

>People (or other animals, I suppose) determine price.

Quite often by controlling supply

I'm curious how much damage GLP-1 agonists will do to the extremely profitable industries that depend on addiction before we'll start hearing scare stories about extremely rare side effects, followed by politically expedient bans.
Every time you work in DRY, you save it for the next project and eventually open source it and it becomes a new framework, yay!

>Leaving us with a monopolized and duopolized economy that nickel and dimes working people and blocks them from participating in capital investment by labeling low-dollar trades as "pattern day trading" in 2001, for example:

>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_day_trader

wtf are you talking about? I don't see how that meaningfully prevents working people from "participating in capital investment". It only applies to day trades (ie. buying and selling the stock in the same day) on margin accounts (ie. you're taking out a loan to buy the stock). If you're doing that, chances are it's gambling, not "investment".
Wait, you can stop taking it and you STILL lose 1/3rd of the weight on average? This drug really is a miracle.

The line about being the voice of "little tech" rubbed me pretty hard the wrong way. Nothing's stopping me or my clients from contacting senators, reps, and regulators, joining political organizations, or signing open letters. We have our own voices. Some of us know enough to use them.

It's hard to tell what, exactly, the position on "open source AI" was. It's presented here in glittering generalities. Given the many conversations I've had on-theme with not-public-tech-co people, I don't think it's fair to say all of "little tech" has one view or position, when you really get down to details. I rather doubt the whole YC-o-Verse sees it all one way, either, given its burgeoning size.

More broadly, I'd expect positioning off as "little tech" to flop. Policy players know how to follow the money. They know "Big Tech" brings the money that buys startups—they've read about it in exec summaries of the committee reports. They're also plenty aware that startups get founded by, and recruit from, a lot of the same pools of people. They've been lobbied by various policy groups speaking for smaller tech companies, often funded by the bigger tech companies, for years. If they dig just a little bit, they'll see the barriers to entry, and resulting big-co dependencies, for small-cos doing AI work.

There's bipartisan support for "going after Big Tech" competition-wise. I don't think the pols need a tech-co splinter group as reinforcement there. Unless and until IPO becomes the main path of successful ascent again—perpetually private isn't popular—I don't have great arguments against generalizing startups to Big Tech Farm League. There are plenty of gripes up from startups against the Great Houses, especially from investors. But that's feudalism for you.

Compare, say, DHH's lobbying. 37signals had the Bezos investment, but it was an unusual deal, not within the usual system. Speaking from a different place.
I’d be interested to see what the weight gain would be for people who lose weight through diet and exercise over time. My hunch is we’d see people gain significant weight back. I’ve seen this from colleagues who had weight loss surgery, lost a bunch of weight, then gained it back over a few years.
I don’t disagree with this assessment but it’s also a narrow view[0] that allows the problem to persist in the first place.

Rather, I’d like to see what positive oversight would look like, but that has not been put forth by any of these organizations thus far. It all comes down to “trust us” which is also hard to stomach

[0]: most often but not exclusively held by Americans (of which i am one). We collectively fail to imagine government being a positive force and what that would look like.
Well then maybe we shouldn't use it unless the consequences are severe enough to warrant them. In particular we shouldn't use them without trying behavior modification first.
There's talent in every region, and I think it should be a priority to figure out ways to unlock it without re-siting companies in SFBA and NYC, but it's worth noting here that YC's SFBA-centricity is not an outcome of their belief that there's no talent outside SFBA. It's the opposite: they assume they're importing that talent to the area.

The YC SFBA thing is about network effects from companies working in close proximity, and about the investor market (1) believing the same thing and (2) having themselves an even more significant network effect that keeps them all in the same area.

A point lots of socialist like to make. But practically speaking that is the only market economy that has ever existed beyond a few short lived experiments and those were questionable.

You can only have a market if you have property rights. And property rights without the ability of having somebody else on work on your land/maschine doesn't really make sense.

Many of the market socialist theoriest totally failed to put their ideas into practice. And I have yet to actually see somebody come up with a coherent alternative.

Seems to me the whole 'market economy' term is just used by socialist when they dont want to admit the benefits of capitalism.Therefore imply some alternative that has markets but not all the bad parts.

These ideas come around again and again and I have never seen anything that is actually coherent.

I deeply hate this modern attitude.

It’s factually correct due to hardware and compilers (néé transpilers) offering so much headroom, but part of me cries when you compare modern hardware utilization compared to how optimized-to-the-gills late generation PS2 games were.

Kinda nice actually. This is like the one thing Musk has done at Twitter that I agree with. I think sexuality is a normal part of life, we shouldn't be so fussy about it (within consent obviously). It's not even always for money, many people just enjoy it sharing their content.

However it should be behind a filter of course. Just like reddit does. So those who are interested can view it and the rest can avoid it.

It's incredibly easy, almost every landlord I've ever had did it in addition to a normal full-time job, and spent maybe a few hours a week on it. One didn't even live in the same country as the property. Of course it is risky, as you might get a bad tenant and have to spend money getting rid of them, but risky is not the same as hard.
Cool use of maser for receive.

Not having thought this through before, I see now that while a transmit maser may have efficiency advantages, it may not improve directionality relative to a standard parabolic radio transmitter. All methods of producing microwaves will have basically the same diffraction-limited gain for a given “aperture” (dish) size. That darn uncertainty principle! (However, an optical laser would still give way better directionality.)
Growth starts little.
Do the filters introduce microplastics?
I'm a big believer in not allowing the pursuit of perfection to cause us to lose sight of the good things that we have.

Yes, these open models could stand to be more open and I hope that we'll see that in the future. But at the same time I'm extremely grateful to the companies who have released their weights under reasonable terms. Them doing so has undeniably led to an enormous amount of innovation and collaboration that would not have been possible without the weights.

If we constantly downplay and disparage the real efforts that companies make to release IP to the world because they don't go as far as we'd like, we're setting ourselves up for a world where companies don't release anything at all.

I have experience in Robotics in a startup environment. I dealt with perception, localization, communication and software engineering problems. The main competences are in C++ and Python, I used in deep ROS1 and I have academic experience with Tensorflow and Keras, I'd like so much to have the chance to work with computer vision and go in deep with such argument.
But it does change the whole feel of a site and make it not palatable to large swaths of users. Because it's one thing if you can say "I just won't follow porn accounts" – it's a whole other thing if the feed is also algorithmic. So now there's a non-zero chance that scrolling through will result in something pornographic? For the record, I have no issue with that type of content, but there's a sense of "time and place" and having it separated.

If not properly gated (via special accounts that can be filtered out, etc, or profiles that have ratings baked in), this can become a mess very quickly.
Being too early is a privilege. Not everyone CAN invent things that are valuable but ahead of their time.

If you can then on the one hand don't expect tremendous accolade but also do continue working on what you're doing if it feels obvious to you that this is important. Today with the pace at which technology is advancing people tend to receive credit in their lifetime. In Grassman's day that was just NOT the case.

If more people took risks building out ideas they "felt" were the right thing to do the world would be a substantially better place.

>Well, in a lot of the so-called soft sciences, you can easily beat a test without subject knowledge.

Reminds me of the mandatory trainings you take for work every year. Normal logical thinking can get you through most of them.
> And the marketing trick is called lowering supply.

The original contextual comment indicated that there was no reduction in supply, merely false claims of the "there is only one unit left!" nature. Normally a buyer would look around to make sure the claim is true, but I guess the idea is that people get so emotional about housing that they don't give it a second thought, which plays into why there is such inelasticity to exploit.

Yes, speed. 1,000,000+ QPS and 1,000s of ads to evaluate is common. At that scale it's very distributed, so replication is another challenge.

In a way, its a search problem where bid≈relevance and targeting_match≈recall, so I've seen Solr used here too.
