That's pretty generous to claim that expertise is what was influencing application of law and policy before this. Agency oversight got us Ajit Pai deciding to kill net neutrality.

Most of this can be done automatically using https://vectorize.io

It generates synthetic questions, tests different embedding models, chunking strategies, etc. You end up with clear data that shows you what will give you the optimal results for your RAG app: https://platform.vectorize.io/public/experiments/ca60ce85-26...

Check out Ollama, it's built to run models locally. Llama3 8b runs great locally for me, 70b is very slow. Plenty of options.

I have had nothing but bad experiences with Hertz. Unfortunately the corporate rate we get is very low so I'm stuck with them, but it seems like there is always something that goes wrong. I drove out of their facility, had a low tire pressure indicator on, brought it back and they wanted me to sign something saying I was responsible for damage to their tire.

Seems like they are being slashdotted or whatever it's called these days.

I ran into this same thing recently. My dryer needed new electronics, basically the same price as buying a new dryer. My wife had strong opinions about JUST buying a new dryer so guess who has a new washer AND dryer?

Boeing's relationship with government agencies is beyond alarming. There needs to be better oversight and accountability for the sake of both passengers as well as workers in the aviation industry. People's lives are more important than profit. I can't believe this is a controversial position in our society.

I love this. It beautifully captures the inner conflict of adolescence and the quest for self-discovery. It's easy to forget how hard that time of life can be and how in order to truly understand ourselves, we must explore the boundaries of our beliefs and reconsider once closely held ideals. It's a messy journey, but it's the only path to find our authentic selves.

There is also evidence that cochlear implants reduce tinnitus. IIRC it's around 75% of people suffering from tinnitus who get cochlear implants report improvement ranging from reduced severity to complete relief.

It's disheartening to see such drastic disparities between foster kids and their peers in terms of both education and incarceration rates. It really highlights just how important having a stable home life is to shaping the future outcomes for kids and how big of a disadvantage it is for those who don't have this privilege. Sad that we live in a society where we can't provide a healthy, stable environment so many kids.

Levy's old stuff still holds up IMO. Rosen is also definitely good. Also the St Louis Chess Club YT channel is usually great if you're looking for something that's very in depth and don't mind watching 60-90 minutes of content.

Not a very convincing argument, but it is sort of funny to see a page making this argument with a script tag downloading a js file.

lichess has a lot of good free opening courses. chess.com has a lot of videos but you have to buy a subscription. Gotham Chess on YouTube is entertaining.

Probably better to not let your cats out to murder all the furry creatures in the neighborhood.
