I can see Ricky saying this while getting arrested

I got the Davey crockitt theme song

It’s good they like feet so much since there’s going to be hundreds of them between this person and public places like schools.

Yep, 1 day blinding stew.

It’s as close to humble pie as it gets.

I don’t know, I’m a pleb.

The guy on the radio sounded concerned. I don’t know where he was from but he was with one of the US papers.

CBC radio was talking about it this morning.

The speaker they had on said that China saying they won’t increase further means they’re going to start using the other tools in their arsenal, which in a trade war is not going to be nice.

There are various levels of AI here

Storing embeddings/vectors in a search index can make your searches smarter and more relevant. The embeddings squeeze related concepts closer together than pure keyword approaches, which if done well increases retrieval quality.

RAG tools and AI searches are just a layer on top of your index. When done well these can be really useful in annotating your results and speeding up finding things.

That’s useful when you’re searching say an error message and the AI is able to iterate on keywords and skim a Guthub issue about it and skip to the resolution.

Similarly it’s good when you’re researching something but don’t have the exact words, AI search can iterate and capture your intent, then run several queries based on that.

I don’t find the hallucination problem significant in practice with a lot of AI search tools, but I have found AI is vulnerable to certain types of SEO spam that a human would never fall for.

As an example most companies have a “comparison to” or “alternatives to” blogpost. The AI does not critically look at the fact that a service is hosting a blogpost shilling their own product. So asking search AI for options is actually poor quality because it will return the shilled results that appear in search first.

AI also search adds an additional silent layer of filtering, which you need to be conscious of.

Potentially that would be a good application of federation and distributed computing

An Internet archive like distributed tool, that then feeds into local tokenization and indexing.

Alternatively a centralized service that generates indices and then locally they are queried would save a lot of energy.

He tweeted it apparently.

But I do not doubt everybody in the white house and everyone in the know was making moves earlier.

If I put my tinfoil hat on that could be why the fall suddenly stopped on Monday and even China dumping bonds didn’t fuck up the markets today

Kinda looks like he wussed out to focus on China.

This wouldn’t be stupid if he hadn’t passed off the entire world and looked like a total moron first.

Yeah, I think the Nash equilibrium is to just stop negotiating with him.

There’s no upside to it. Nothing he says can be relied upon, and the playbook is obviously to make up some new problem or declare a fake emergency to violate agreements anyways.

His goals are foolish and wasteful and he’s throwing everything away to try and achieve them.

I have, and I’ve been able to smell the same thing.

Definitely agree it’s undervalued, I don’t even think you need to have an especially good nose, you just need to stop and do some sniffing.

Prediction: this gets used to surveil dissidents and minorities disproportionately.

Okay, I was imagining waking up to ants in your mouth after a night of drinking.

I’m with you on crickets.

Crickets, grasshoppers, ladybugs, ants are all smelly insects to me. My wife thought I was crazy for a while hunting down bugs and smells in the house by sniffing like a hound. Now she just goes with it.

I can smell small amounts of sugar added to water — very helpful when we get coffee on the road and can’t tell whose cup is whose.

There’s a lot I can smell from bathroom smells and body odours, which can be more of a curse than useful.

I think I have the same cooking technique as you, I’m constantly smelling and adjusting by smell.

I have the opposites of all of these.

I can’t differentiate noises, I’m awful at picking out speech in loud places, I’m bad with faces, and spicy foods upset my stomach (I can eat them, but it has consequences).

Sorry, a mouthful?

I have this too, and it’s almost exactly the same. I get little from music though.

It can be really distracting when camping and an acorn falls on the tent or things like that.

I also smell in colour, if that makes any sense at all.

The bridge town is pretty cool, until the Tenosians show up and throw the nobles off of it.

I like lemmy more.
