You could just sum it up for us all rather than do a divert to your blog?
It's Retrieval Augmented Generation btw.
To quote:
> The key idea is this: a user asks a question. You search your private documents for content that appears relevant to the question, then paste excerpts of that content into the LLM (respecting its size limit, usually between 3,000 and 6,000 words) along with the original question.
> The LLM can then answer the question based on the additional content you provided.
- simonw 3y ago> You could just sum it up for us all rather than do a divert to your blog? Why? Have links gone out of fashion? I even linked directly to the relevant section rather than linking to the top of the page. The paper that coined the term used the hyphen, though I think I prefer it without: https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.11401 https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.11401
- Grimburger 3y ago> Have links gone out of fashion? Yes. You wrote far more words than needed to answer the comment, I did it for you instead.
- simonw 3y agoOne of the reasons I write so much stuff is so I can provide links to things I've written to answer relevant questions.
- scubbo 3y agoAnd those of us with the sense to value your insight, and the attention-span to read more than tweet-sized content, thank you for it.
- mhog_hn 3y agoThank you, nice blog.
- discordance 3y agoThanks so much for your writings and for posting the link (and also for Datasette!). I've learned in the past few months from your blog.
- monkeydust 3y agoAppreciate it. Your posts in general have been great - accessible to a large audience, quality links to follow up research and catchy analogies even when they don't fully hold true (llm as a calculator for words - which I admit I use with citation!). Keep going.
- gar1t 3y agoI liked your link a lot.
- hboon 3y agoJust to add that, we appreciate that very much.
- gkbrk 3y ago"Links have gone out of fashion" is an odd thing to write on a Link Aggregator website.

- kristopolous 3y agoYou know you're responding to a programmer famous enough to have a Wikipedia page, right? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Willison https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Willison
- Grimburger 3y agoI don't pay the slightest fucking attention to who I'm responding to and take people on their merit/comment. Should we all do the ad hominem thing? You are actually suggesting that?
