this was really weird to read: > But RAG is a very real world, practical topic for something as significant as a new lab’s first paper. I would expect exactly the opposite - that a new lab would put out a few random papers that happen to

as a pixel owner, i'm unfortunately paying for the operating system more than anything else. most other android phones are infested with unremovable bloatware and lack of update guarantees, and iOS is crippled by apple. I used maemo wh

that is the precise point at which the article lost me. ironically it's often good programmers who don't "get" the benefit of building memory management and discipline into the language, rather than leaving it to be a co
