And this isn’t even really a great application for RAG. Papermaps just goes off of references and citations. Perhaps a sentiment analysis would be marginally useful, but since you need a human to verify all LLM outputs it would be a dubious time savings.

The system scores review papers very favorably and the “yes/no/maybe” conclusion is right in the abstract, usually the last sentence or two of it. This is not a prime candidate for any LLM, it’s simple database operations on srtuctured data that already exists. There’s no use case here.

It is easier to intimidate voters when they gather in one place on one day. It’s just good time management!

🤮(these fucking people…)

I must be so old.

“My mango is to explode then <shrug> next question?”

Bubbles made a healthy enterprise out of ‘fixing’ ‘broken’ shopping carts that he would sell back to the store when they ‘ran out’ of carts. Perhaps a similar business model but likely higher profit margin.

They provide links to their github that explains their whole methodology. This is a scientific effort and is as transparent and well-documented as a project can be. They provide the code so you can understand the exact mechanics at play or just fork the project if you want to take the work in a different direction.

It’s a great project and long overdue. I personally think scientific journals are incredibly outdated and haven’t been necessary for a couple of decades. Just put your work on a stable web site and cut out the parasites at the journals.

Oh yeah, I feel that. I was going for condescension as a strategy for discouraging them.

Don’t make them feel bad. Thorn isn’t going to happen but they seem to enjoy it. It’s no worse than the fedora fad. And OC may be using it incorrectly in an ironic manner, which I can respect.

Dissociation is a real thing that is very common. Why do you think it is not?

Then he is not qualified to be a Senator, lacking political and historical accumen is a major fail. There are plenty of young adults who do have the judgement to look into what they are inking on themselves permanently.

I know I am being judgy, but Senate is one of the most influential political positions a person can run for. The bar is and needs to be very high. Just saying the right words is not enough to get me excited about a candidate.

With new snuffle drives, deflopping is no longer necessary. OS makers kept deflopping features due to consumer perception of the need for it, not a technical need. Just sayin’

It’s so simple.

He either is lying about knowing the meaning of the symbol and is therefore not qualified to be a Senator, no matter his apparent stances.

Or he is insanely ignorant of basic history and is therefore not qualified to be a Senator, no matter his apparent stances.

Anger is a natural result of discovering that your natural abilities are routinely exploited and taken for granted but your needs that are a direct result of those same abilities will not be met.

My emotions are very well regulated, thank you. It is normal to feel anger when gaslit into thinking your normal human variation is a disorder.

New rabbit hole unlocked! Thanks. I have linked the article below for future deep dives into this text. I love Taoist thought and this comment was well timed to prompt a revisit.

Yes the tech bros have some culpability, but everyone is responsible for what they put in their mouths. If you eat a strange plant without double checking, I mean, you did it to yourself.

Go ahead and bag on tech bros, I will join you. But I will also save a measure of my scorn for those who believe them to be trustworthy.

Do not trust plant id apps to determine if anything is edible, for a start. The odds of a painful death are just too high. There is no substitute for actually learning plant id fundamentals.

This is exactly why people hate moral philosophers.

The two topics are hard to relate together for me. Machines and automation of them in our current system implies someone owns both the automated machine AND the output of said system. (Let’s conveniently forget the essential contributions of the human wage-slaves making the whole thing operate, cuz fuck ‘em)

So once we have figured out how to get people to move past greed-based concepts of private ownership of every fucking thing that moves, the ‘automation question’ you pose will automatically be solved too.

Yes! Autism is partly social difficulty, but that is not the same as a lack of social/emotional perceptivity. The difficulty is mutual among all parties.

I totally ’get’ what is going on in most social encounters, I just feel very little obligation to expend the energy to match the situation quite often.

Lately, I have become more ‘demanding’ socially. It’s working fine, and my attitude has become ‘I will meet people halfway’ in terms of working to accommodate the group vibe.

Quite often, others will sus out my wavelength too and it results in them doing more of their share of the ‘work’ of socializing. If not, well, I am better off learning that they won’t do their share.

I have lately become utterly fine with who I am. I am the normal one, conform to me.

Yep, not pooping there!

Can you imagine all the sad artists out there who have never managed to piss anyone off?

‘Oh that’s a nice little drawing! Let’s put it on the fridge next to your siblings all-As report card.’ == Total artistic failure
