"At any rate, after exploring this, I naturally wondered if there wasn’t some easier way to do it; not as statistically valid, maybe, but adequate for the advertiser who just wants to improve his performance. I won’t go into the detail

Probably needs prompt #1, to rewrite the users input to remove any implied outcome of the users action. Then pass this string into the original prompt.

Cool. What if I want a weighted average of embeddings? Going further, is it possible to adjust the weights at search time?

I Have a general vector retrieval question, if you have time to humor me. Suppose I have 10 features per document, each with an embedding. Is it possible to retrieve the document with the highest average embedding score across its features?

On top of that, when you download the app there's only an option to login with instagram. If you don't have an instagram account already there's no link to create an account. Surprisingly inconvenient.

It figures it out once you let it reflect on its answer: Consider the following situation: You have a 12 liter jug and a 6 liter jug, and you want to measure out exactly 6 liters of water. First, generate an initial solution for this proble

Set up a whole virtual economy, with AI agents paying rent, having jobs, inventing goods to sell and deciding whether to buy. Fast forward 100 years and see what happens.

Did some more research, you seem to be right. Although the design I proposed could still be viable--when the wind is still the sphere would simply hover, and when the wind is blowing the sphere could move controllably, just not against the

The videos show the spheres moving quickly, often back and forth. Pilots have reported spheres hovering stationary over a spot during hurricane level winds. From all the reports it sounds like there is some kind of propulsion mechanism.

You can roughly calculate yield from a stock investment. If a stock has a P/E ratio of 20 (i.e. the value of all stocks issued is 20x its annual earnings), divide 72/20 to get a yield of 3.6%. If US government bonds offer 1% yield

That's what I'm doing. I ask ChatGPT to return inline yaml (no wasting tokens on line breaks), then I parse the yaml output into JSON once I receive it. A bit awkward but it cuts costs in half.
