> positionally related chunks but also semantically related ones

That's why the entry point would still be an embedding search; it's just that instead of using the first 20 embedding hits, you take the first 5 and if the reference is "semantically adjacent" to the entry concept, we would expect that some of the first few chunks would capture it in most cases.

I think where GRAG yields more relevancy is when the referenced content is not semantically similar nor even semantically adjacent to the entry concept but is semantically similar to some sub fragment of a matched chunk. Depending on the corpus, this can either be common (no familiarity with financial documents) or rare. I've primarily worked with clinical trial protocols and at least in that space, the concepts are what I would consider "snowflake-shaped" in that it branches out pretty cleanly and rarely cross-references (because it is more common that it repeats the relevant reference).

All that said, I think that as a matter of practicality, most teams will probably get much bigger yield with much less effort doing local expansion based on matching for semantic similarity first since it addresses two core problems with embeddings (text chunk size vs embedding accuracy, relevancy or embeddings matched below a given threshold). Experiment with GRAG depending on the type of questions you're trying to answer and the nature of the underlying content. Don't get me wrong; I'm not saying GRAG has no benefit, but that most teams can explore other ways of using RAG before trying GRAG.

For the proof given in TFA they use the assumption that the symbol is compact and hence closed. I argue that the symbol needn't be closed, it may still be measurable.

Why would using a fancy editor be in any way relevant to writing code? That CS class should be dropped from the curriculum, imo, until such time as bolding a register has some sort of meaning, or perhaps viewing an sql table via "print preview".

>What is the significance of you not wanting to call it engineering?

It conflates two separate things with not a great amount of overlap. It also describes two different paths, an academic path and a tradesman path. The distinction is obviously useful in describing people/roles/activities.

You could also ask why we are conflating machinists with engineers, clearly machinists are building things, definitely more so than engineers.

Right, but wouldn't you be better off by admitting it, then making amends to address it? At least you will be seen as having some shred of integrity. You're banned from the sport for a period of time regardless. IMO continuing to deny the obvious is way worse than addressing it head on and moving forward.
A defined hydrothermal basin like this is heated by a very local pocket of magma or more properly magma-that-has-mostly-solidified-into-hot-rock, only a kilometer or so deep in this case, that has leaked up from multiple layers of deeper basins creeping up through faultlines, and which is being gradually cooled by water seepage in a dynamically stable way.
Depending on the area, there may or may not be an intermediary superheated brine functioning as a heat transport mechanism, per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geothermal_areas_of_Yellowston...

Local explosions like this are not very indicative of movements in the county-sized reservoir of magma ten times deeper down that underlies the entire caldera.

Tesseract works great for pure label-the-characters OCR, which is sufficient for books and other sources with straightforward layouts, but doesn't handle weird layouts (tables, columns, tables with columns in each cell, etc.) People will do absolutely depraved stuff with Word and PDF documents and you often need semantic understanding to decipher it.

That said, sometimes no amount of understanding will improve the OCR output because a structure in a document cannot be converted to a one-dimensional string (short of using HTML/CSS or something). Maybe we'll get image -> HTML models eventually.
yeah exactly. programming should be seen an as social endeavor and not a technical one.
Or for Google to buy it.

They could monetize it much better while being less annoying.

Ultimately - Google is getting everything they want from Reddit with this deal without having to buy it outright.

Short of Reddit transforming to an entirely different product (difficult) - I'm not sure where the major growth opportunity is for it.
Because in order to not have suffering animals, you must control their populations, which in itself causes suffering. The only way to not have suffering is to not have life. I laugh at the thought of a vegan future where cow population control has become so extreme that they're an endangered species you can only find in zoos.

As for wanting to reduce suffering, natural, pasture raised humane farming can achieve that. Vegans always make this "factory farming or nothing" argument which just seems silly on its head. Humans controlled animal populations and thinned herds for thousands of years in humane ways before the advent of factory farming, we just need to dial back the clock on our mechanized monstrosity.
A null result may be a dead end and so there is no related paper worth publishing it in.

"Ą" is a separate letter in polish alfabet, not an accented variant of "A".

There are writing systems where combining accents are used to represent just variation on a letter. Use of combining characters for "Ą" (and "Ć" and "Ł" and many other so-called "polish letters") is, at best, a historical artefact of trying to write them in deficient encodings.
Acid caused the overheating, sure; overheating caused the death. At this point I'm nitpicking, but it's a relatively important semantic difference. Some substances can outright kill you but LSD generally will not.

Email saving nothing isn't true at all. The victorians had multiple times a day mail service and newspapers. The mail services previously bemoaned a loss of letters before retail got displaced by online shopping. Remember the concept of the corporate Mail Room?

While somewhat true, I suspect that the path for these phds was both more error prone and harder than alternative pathways to the same position. My understanding is that the use of physics Phds for this role has fallen over the years as financial engineering and quantitative finance have evolved.

You see similar patterns with Physics Phds in AI teams. You are likely to encounter one over your career, but it's not typical.

It feels like Reddit is approaching an inflection point anyway where bot-made content is concentrated enough to spoil the whole experience. Closed servers like Discord and Slack may be the last haven of online human interaction.
As others already pointed out, there is no incentive to do so.

Consider: "Hey, look, I went on top of tower of Pisa and threw down two identically shaped balls, one iron and one wooden. They dropped at the same time!"

The above is the expected result and would only be interesting if the result is different from expectation. Now, if 1000 scientists did this and each published the confirmation of what we knew would happen then who would read that? But, if one scientist said: "I tried and they drop at different times!" that would be different. The 999 scientists would then try to replicate again and then the papers of the 999 would be interesting again.

and the US already has taxes on something that's not sold yet - stock options.

No but seriously: insulin starts to act after 20mins. Its action is more like a flat parabola.

Glucose acts more in harsh peaks. So you want the glucose peak to hit when you are at the maximum of insulin action. Hence the 15mins delay.

This is all roughly speaking, YMMV.
As a Canadian I'd like to take this opportunity to ask you what you know about Canada.

Like what do you really know about Canada?

Because I'm getting the same "Montreal is the capital of Canada" vibes that I got from an American tourist when I was a little kid visiting the same tourist town that they were on summer vacation.

It astounds me how confidentially incorrect Americans (I'm assuming that you're American) are when it comes to their close neighbour.

So please, tell me more about Canada.
This is roughly what Molly used to poison Riviera (a meperidine addict) in Neuromancer. Gibson mentions N-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) which is mentioned (as 1-methyl...) in the article, as well as the whole substantia nigra thing. I just re-read it last week and was wondering if that drug was a real thing or not.
I'm a very avid cyclist.

Kinda quietly making fun of folks who show up on (e.g.) $10,000 road bikes and then get dropped 5 miles into the ride is a whole Thing.

True life, I'm not sure there's a good reason for a person spending their own money to buy a new road bike that costs more than $4-5K new. You can absolutely get started for way way less (probably $1500 new retail), but once the hook sets and you decide This Is Something I Like, there are things you'll want.

Carbon frames are far more comfortable to ride than aluminum. This extends to handlebars, stem, and seatpost.

Lighter-weight wheels -- also carbon -- are an upgrade you can feel IMMEDIATELY. I think it has to do with rotational weight vs. static weight. Nicer wheels have nicer bearings in them, too.

Electronic shifting doesn't make you faster in and of itself, but once you've used it you'll fall in love with it. Shifting is effortless, and combined brake-and-shift actions become viable in a way they aren't with mechanical shifting.

My Giant was just under $5k, and that's after an upgrade or two (mostly the addition of a power meter). Do I ride with folks on $10-15k bikes? Oh yeah. MOST of them are pretty serious riders, but they're not any faster on that Pinarello than they would be on (e.g.) my bike. It's effectively jewelry at that point.

(Now, the exception is if you're shaped in a way that makes off-the-shelf frames difficult. I know a couple folks -- one very well off and very short, the other decidedly middle class and VERY tall -- who got fully custom frames, but for both of them it was really the only way to get a bike that fit. For the middle-class guy, this means his bike is worth more than his car, but it's a forever-bike (titanium frame), and he's an 8-10,000 mile a year guy, so...)

> it is time you replaced that 13 year old laptop

You tell me where I can buy one that's as good, has lots of ports and easily-expanded RAM, disk etc, with above all else an excellent full-sized keyboard that isn't flat, isn't chiclet style, doesn't have half-size Fn keys that default to pointless media controls, and I'll think about it.

The reason I use the things is because every more modern device I have seen or tried is inferior.

Like the author acknowledges in the last few paragraphs, CachyOS is great on modern hardware. But using it to draw out performance from an old laptop is not it.

I'm not surprised by the outcome of this article.
I think smoking is bang on as a comparison. Massive lifetime average costs to the health system, spending on which is by definition zero sum. Both smoking and morbid obesity are enormously damaging life paths. I say this as someone who struggles with their weight.

I want to acknowledge that weight isn't a simple calories in, calories out situation. That other illnesses, medications, childbirth and gut health have enormous impacts on the capacity to maintain or lose weight. And that many people (particularly in the US) live in food deserts. What I'd criticise is the valorisation or excusing of obesity as equivalent to healthy living.

'Healthy at any size' social messaging is enormously damaging on a social and personal level. I've personally known a few people who became politicised in this direction (as a subset of radical queer politics) and went from being highly functional to disabled due to overeating and other health consequences of inactivity and overeating. Life is difficult, aging is terrifying. Making it worse by pretending that these conditions aren't awful is extremely irresponsible.
I forget where I saw this, but it helps me get going:

"Start with the simplest thing that could possibly work."
You are arguing different points. Just because we use different metaphors over time does not mean the core analogy does not hold. Mainly, systems that intake input and emit output, whether they be in the form of silicon based computers, steam powered machines, etc, seem quite similar to biological machines that also take in input and emit output. Unless you can show that there is some outside process between the intaking of input and emitting of output, physicalism is the most definite and empirically supported conclusion; when I remove part of someone's brain, I can predict with high accuracy how they will behave.
At the same time I would emphasize that people who offer any kind of advice online around life-threatening ailments do put down if they have a related degree, are currently practicing and are licensed in that or a very related field, or if they are conducting self experiments and sharing their results (with YMMV caveat to go along with it).

Reasons why should be obvious, but listening to podcasts, or reading pop-science books, connecting the dots and thinking you’re qualified to give, again, life-threatening advice, does not mean you’re actually qualified or you have an idea of how deep the rabbit hole goes (as we are learning, nobody really does).

Unfortunately, in my experience I encounter a lot of people who haven’t opened up an intro to biology book since their teenager days let alone an undergraduate biochem book, but they listen to podcasts and think they have it figured out and have the audacity to speak with confidence. I’ve been in situations where the practitioners are wincing but are too polite to call people out - it’s easier to let them just yap out what the podcast said and then change the topic. Don’t be one of these people.

I don't necessarily agree that testability is the same thing as modularity. In my experience, tests that focus on one module in isolation and try to fake/mock all dependencies, including other modules in the same system, tend to be rather unrealistic and not that useful. Bugs are far more often found in the interaction between modules, due to mismatched assumptions between them. For this reason I try to fake/mock as little as possible in tests, and try to follow the principle "tests should run as close to prod as possible."
How to Debug Chez Scheme Programs (2002)
Licensing is not a simple semantic problem. It is a legal problem that have strong ramifications, especially things are on their way to standardize. What Facebook is trying to do with their "open source" models is to exhaust possibility of fully open source models to be industry standarts. and create an alternative monopoly to Microsoft/OpenAI. Think of it as if an entity had right to ISO standards, they would be extremely rich. Eventually researchers will release pretty advance ML models that are fully open source(from dataset to training code) and Facebook is trying to block them even before start to prevent of the possibility of this models to be standard. This is a complementary tactic of the industry to closed source rivals and should not be understood as challenging to them.

A good wording for this is "open-washing" as described in this paper:

Still, if it’s that critical it should be deployed through the OS vendor, not some 3rd party. And regression/canary testing at each level (3rd party, MS, customer) seems to also be completely bypassed here, which also baffles me.

Remember, the only reason Reddit "won" was because Digg destroyed itself with a radical upgrade that everyone hated.

Reddit would have to do something similarly self-inflicted, and I can't even guess where people would go. Reddit was already an alternative to Digg -- what's the alternative to Reddit? I mean, it's certainly not Quora.
> Knowing ahead of time which functions are async is a feature.

Async and expensive aren't the same thing.

> Also, a nitpick - you can call async functions from sync ones, you just can't access the return value.

That's a quirk of the particular async/await implementation in JS and not generally true of colored-function implementations. (Actually, since async/await is sugar for promises, you can actually, I’m pretty sure, both call and use syntactically async functions from ones which are syntactically not-async if you really want to, the code is just ugly.

I don't want to live in a world where you have to use X search engine to get answers from Y site - but this seems like the beginning of that world.

From an efficiency perspective - it's obviously better for websites to just lease their data to search engines then both sides paying tons of bandwidth and compute to get that data onto search engines.

Realistically, there are only 2 search engines now.

This seems very bad for Kagi - but possibly could lead the old, cool, hobbiest & un-monetized web being reinvented?
