Side bar: I've been back in the UK for a longer spell for the first time in years, and the number of adverts for "blue collar" jobs I've seen just walking around is unreal. So many places looking for kitchen staff, waite

Ech, Magic is nice and it's a fun article. It could probably do with an edit to the link text to make it clear what it's about though.

I've been using the beta and absolutely love it. The addition of epubs means I can read, cite, annotate and organise anything I'm reading in one place. I really appreciate the work the team have done here. The last two releases in

Langchain has the odd nice component I use, I prefer their recursive text splitter to anything else I've seen or cobbled together, but I don't find the code readable or the abstractions particularly intuitive.

I've been working in a PR-type space recently. That narrative is the subject of war between so many different actors. The worst thing is watching everyone around me, even very intelligent people, get so angry over a space that is so he

For those in the audience that have only ever eaten supermarket tomatoes, I'm sorry to say you've probably never really eaten a tomato. I live in a small, agricultural country and the article resonated. Over the last 10 years supe

You also get Israel bombing the south of the country and a Syrian border run by drug cartels. Agree with the sentiment on OP. These libertarian views are so often held by comfortable Americans who've never seen what an absence of gover

I like foliate, certainly one of the slicker options out there, but yes it does have the behaviour you describe. I do have need of a library, but there's not much point for me if it's just one or two types of document. I've j

It took a couple of attempts, but I'm really enjoying EndeavourOS and i3 on a Surface _Laptop_ 4. It's the lightest, most portable and comfortable laptop I've had.

Sorry for the slow response, don't check my threads as much as I could. This was back when I was in the aid business, so the gig involved a lot of going around and talking to all sorts of people: local community organisations, farmers,

Yeah, but then you get into disambiguation hell. My first serious coding project was an insanely ambitious attempt to do something like this with CH data. Great punt for a Masters thesis, but not the sort of thing I'd base proper resea

Yeah, agreed. I've got a load of what Americans would call "liberal arts" under my belt and do tech for non-profits. If you like cars, study automotive design and go work there. Ditto anything really. Domain knowledge is a re

It's baselined against New York, so you can be more expensive, but not have had the cost of living grow faster than NYC. This makes it alright for comparing between countries in a single year, but I'm not sure exactly what you get

Depends what you want it for. I'm still holding out for a decent enough open model, Llama 3 is tantalisingly close, but inference speed and cost are serious bottlenecks for any corpus-based use case.
