How to start small in a very specific area:
1. Write down a list of 10 to 20 questions that you want your RAG to be able to answer. Then write down the correct answers next to each question. If you don't know the correct answers, ask a subject matter expert. Build a RAG chatbot that can answer those questions first.
2. You have to start out using tools that are capable of growing with you. For example, don't use ChromaDB because it can only fit in memory. Use services that can scale up.
3. I cover this in my book, you can use the 10 to 20 questions as integration tests and run them every time you commit code to make sure everything still works.
4. How to feed with data continuously... do you mean keeping your databases updated? You can write a script to check for regulations published in the last week, and only upload those regulations to your database.

I hope all that helps, let me know if you have any other questions!

Let your kids watch Bill Nye and then next thing you know they'll be into speedwalking and designing burger guns in the basement. IYKYK.
As a kids show bluey is adequate. However, I suspect its secret is that it's really a show for parents with young children that just happens to hold the attention of kids.

My daughters like bluey (ages 3-8). But they also enjoy many things on TV and bluey doesn't stick out that much.

On the other hand, I happened to be in the room for an episode where blueys dad is having a hard time making some sort of cake and bluey cleans up something to help him out without being prompted. I most definitely felt heard watching that episode.

Why should the people know how the culture is pronounced in English?! (If they knew about the culture in the first place)
You have never been encouraged to use Bixby or any other Samsung app?

Let’s define “ad”.
What I really appreciate about Bluey is that it’s one of the few children’s shows with a really great and relatable Dad character. The Dad in most children’s shows is either barely present or a total idiot that nobody respects.
the study they're talking about seems to be this one, which is primarily discussing PM2.5 pollution. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...

~15% of the PM2.5 pollution in NYC comes from vehicle traffic, so if you're concerned about that then maybe driving isn't the solution to your problems. if you were actually concerned about your PM2.5 exposure levels, you should be applauding any effort to get cars off the street.

I think there’s valuable outrage to parse through and confirm in this headline. So, given the context of SF prices:

Estimated cost of living for a 2+2 atomic family in SF is $68,000 a year excluding housing.

Median annual mortgage payment in SF is $120,000 a year.

Taxes for the title salary of $840k above assuming an atomic family are 37% federal and 11% state; so:

Taxes on that salary are $405,000 a year.

So, the highest paid city employee of SF , if they try to buy a home and raise an atomic family in it, will have $250,000 of spending money after all expenses, assuming a single-income household with the employee’s partner handling home and child duties while they’re working.

(If they hire an au pair to care for the children so that both parents can work, then it about breaks even; the cost of the au pair is paid by the second salary, and so I didn’t include it here.)

I am not arguing that they deserve to be paid to life the American atomic 2+2 dream, I’m just using that as my cost basis here as a litmus test to calibrate my outrage.

Duly calibrated: even under excessive but still plausible family circumstances, this wage feels too high. For a city that’s busy failing like San Francisco, issuing a quarter million dollars of spending money to a worker does indeed seem excessive to me.
If you train on any test material, the tests are worthless.
assuming inflation hits all saleable goods and services equally is a pretty huge assumption
Fiction gives us a channel to explore problems we wouldn't otherwise regularly see in our day-to-day lives, and learn about the right ways to answer them, so that when we are confronted with them for real, we have a better framework for dealing with them than our basic instincts provide.

Real-world ethical problems tend to be much more complex than those presented in fiction, but that's exactly why we need fiction to provide us with the building blocks via easier-to-understand case studies.

This is a nice sentiment and all, but the police & prosecutors are already on the losing side of a technological and societal arms race.

The reasons police use these tactics is because in many jurisdictions, getting a guilty verdict is borderline impossible, even in the face of an overwhelming amount of direct evidence. Defense counsels have become experts in shit-slinging to ensure that juries are as confused as possible going into deliberations. "Jury of peers" means it's somewhere between possible and probable to get one or many jurors sympathetic to the defendant, especially in cities. Jurors attempting to appear "unbiased" frequently just choose the middle ground option between the prosecution and defense, without actually taking a look at the evidence.

The current system is extraordinarily flawed and leads to these outcomes where all sides are forced to use immoral tactics to get their desired outcome, because that's the only realistic shot they've got to accomplish their goals. The correct response is not to further kneecap one side of the conflict.
While I agree with you on sentiment, bandwidth and the compute that power the websites these scrapers cost money, most people that have websites cannot afford to provision the capacity required to serve these requests.

Additionally the objective of these pages is to serve ads to real people or funnel real people to paid products, AI traffic for them is just a cost at best and a denial of service attack at worst.
Google's Cybersecurity Deal Spins $245m Investment into $4.3B Windfall
EXCELLENT question. We tried about 5 different ways of retrieving data, and we found that what works best for us is a search-as-a-service. We use Azure AI Search, but there are lots of other ones out there, including Google Vertex AI Search, Algolia, Amazon CloudSearch, or ElasticSearch.

What tradeoffs? It is fast and accurate, but it does get expensive when you have over 50 million records.

My apologies for the name choice, I actually didn't know "Iron" was taken for a lot of C#/.NET projects. We were looking for something that meant "hardened" because it's written in Rust, and went for "IronRDP". This being said, we're generating .NET bindings to IronRDP which we use in Remote Desktop Manager.
There are a number of different reasons. Some object to what is effectively a DDOS attack many of these bots are engaging in. Others (I'm in this camp) don't want their data to be used for training these models. Some are just resisting the bad behavior of AI companies that ignore robots.txt, and etc.
I knew who it was, sorry, I was just trolling. Both twitter and AI-bro culture are extremely distasteful to me so I thought citing an AI bro’s twitter account as an example of how it’s acceptable to behave online was absurd.

I read a very interesting theory in a great book called the Sovereign Individual.

The optimum firm size will go down as the cost of communications goes down. Back when messages had to be delivered on horseback, you wanted all your people in one office building.

But now you can send an email in 10 seconds for $0, so it becomes practical to have many spread-out firms cooperating.

Obviously this is not the only factor, but still.

There's another interesting idea in Marvin Minsky's Society of Mind: when many agents with approximately the same processing power cooperate, the higher-level agents must necessarily be out of touch with the details, and will make big policy decisions that look stupid to many of the lower-level agents who have more of the details but less of the big picture. His agents were all part of the same mind, but it seems eerily similar to politics and big-company management.

So maybe startups should try to hire people with startup experience from the same industry since big-picture politicking is less valuable to a startup.

Assuming it is heritable, then castration for rape and the death penalty for murder would be incidentally eugenic.

I am curious about that also, however it seems odd that one band member had the correct visa? If our assumption is they didn't get a visa that allowed them to perform, it means one did or there was a second reason that only applied to the other three.
I think if a podcast episode changes your opinion about something it's more about you and less about the the episode. (e.g. your mental model isn't developed and/or you got seduced) The popularity of Joe Rogan to me calls into question the safety of podcasts as a medium.
I think these are just slightly different approaches to the same goals of carceral malfeasance. You don't need to try someone more than once if you can torture a confession out of them. You don't need to torture a confession out of someone if you can try them as many times as you want.

Cops and prosecutors will use the tools available to them, the specifics of the tools varying a lot by local history and governance traditions.

Tax foreclosure generally leads to a property free and clear of all encumberances. It's a bit of a pain to arrange though. :P

A federal opt out would be a huge intrusion into contract law, IMHO.

It's pretty easy to avoid HOAs, they have to be disclosed. It may be hard to buy where you want to buy and avoid HOAs though. But my parents' house doesn't have an HOA (but does have pretty picky city code enforcement), and the two houses I've owned didn't either; although the first did have a dry covenant that everyone I talked to said is unenforcable and I found amusing. Tends to mean older lots or more rural, because new developments like to setup HOAs, presumably because the buyers of new homes don't reject them.

Some sort of association is also more or less required if there's any form of shared responsibility, like in a condo.
Yes, but only because they tend to get confused otherwise. Rude language seems to carry a lot of weight and 'distracts' the model from the actual query.
The issues with any of these things is bad companies/managers burn lots more people than good companies, hence creating large numbers of people with zero trust in things like reviews.

This is, if you've been burned by a company getting rid of you after being transparent, you are never going to be transparent again even if it would be in your favor. Then when you look at most companies thinking the most important thing is how much profit they are going to make next quarter that quarterly meeting stops looking like an event to see how you are doing, into one where the company determines how much blood they can extract from your withered corpse.

> Freight trucks cause 99% of wear-and-tear on US roads, but only pay for 35% of the maintenance. This $60B subsidy causes extra congestion and pollution, and taxpayers pay the bill.

> It seems obvious that the heavier the vehicle, the more damage it does to roads over time. A 40,000 pound big rig probably does a bit more damage than your average 3500 pound consumer vehicle, right? It turns out that vehicle road damage doesn’t rise linearly with weight. Road damage rises with the fourth power of weight, and this means that a 40,000 pound truck does roughly 10,000 times more damage to roadways than the average car [1]!

> In other words, one fully loaded 18-wheeler does the same damage to a road as 9600 cars. According to the American Trucking Associations (ATA), the trucking industry represents 11% of all vehicles on the road in the US, while paying 35% of all highway taxes. But if trucks represent 11% of vehicles, their heavy loads cause them to do 99% of all road damage! [2] The trucking industry paid $35 Billion in highway taxes in 2005, according to the ATA. Since most of the $100 Billion in highway taxes paid goes to maintenance (and US infrastructure maintenance is far behind), this implies that the trucking industry receives a $60 Billion annual subsidy from other drivers.

Numbers are old, but extrapolate truck miles, dollars, and damage accordingly.
That's supposed to be how it works in America as well, but realistically what happens is they overcharge and then leverage your fear about the unreliability of the jury process to get you to confess regardless of guilt. I don't know how to determine whether that's similar with French police but I think you're giving them a lot of benefit of the doubt in assuming that this only works in the most innocent way possible.

We have tests in place to make sure every function, every search is working, otherwise things won't deploy. We do have a dashboard with usage etc., but I have not spent much time looking at it. I think we just count broad usage across the company as a success. And yes we consider one-stars and complaints to be a failure, but we get those less often, maybe once every 2 weeks, and it is almost always the user's fault. Does that answer your question?

Interesting, wonder if new construction tends to be bulk construction on subdivided farmland and such, and there is some reason for HOAs to make sense there. Maybe it makes it cheaper to pay for landscaping and similar services which in turn makes more profit for the developer?

This is for authoring math expressions which compiles to MathML. MathML has the explicit design goal of being hard to write, and is much more meant to be a compiler target rather than for humans to write.

This space is pretty dominated by LaTeX whom almost all professionals use, but is pretty verbose and not exactly easy to use for beginners (or even non-frequent users). Other than LaTeX we have Office Math, which is a GUI, and AsciiMath. This tool is a dialect of AsciiMath[1] and builds on top of that. If you know AsciiMath, you know this. There is also UnicodeMathML[2], but that has another goal than this or AsciiMath, where the focus is on readability of authored expressions, rather than writability here.

I use Siri for about three things: timers, reminders, and asking about the weather. But the reminders are mission critical. I use the watch, and any time my flighty brain hits on something, I set a reminder for it on the spot.

I literally couldn't get along without it. The only killer feature of Siri is accurate voice transcription, and that's all I need (and it could be more accurate, I just get used to comical translations when I use a rare word).

I guess I wouldn't mind if it were better, but I don't need it to be. Reminders are enough.

First of all, great question.

Second, we use a search service, and vectors are treated as supplementary to the text search, so chunking doesn't matter as much. We will usually take an entire PDF page and embed that, no matter what structure the data on that page is. We do keep track of the name of the document and the page number. For SQL records, we just turn each record into a text string and embed that.

It's a very real issue. The main problem is that Coca Cola basically took over the whole country. In my experience you can't find a dinner table without a liter bottle of coke or processed juice. I've gotten strange reactions when asking for water, it's just not done most of the time.
The other factor is that because they (and Nestlé I think) use up so much of the water supply to produce their drinks in the first place, it drives up the price of water in those areas to such an extent that you "might as well" just buy soda.

Muni utilities get treated with kid's gloves by courts though. I have direct personal experience of a muni burning nearly a quarter million acres, destroying over 500 homes and ~100K acres of timber. When it came to trial, the court capped their liability at $50m on day one. Their employees even joked about what an outrageous fire hazard all their lines were over text just a few days before it happened.

The funniest part is the utility increased rates...but only for people living in the fire-affected areas.

Seems more like a political problem. Once a founder leaves, the leadership team no longer has a mandate. Things that were once "my way or get fucking lost" become "I need to justify this decision with the Board, McKinsey, Blackrock, etc".

Under these parameters, hiring the failson, yale graduate, CEO of TooBigToFail Inc. to be VP of Operations, is much easier than promoting the guy who worked at the company for 200 years and knows every employee by name, but instead went to San Jose State.
