If the file is short, they put the full text into the prompt. If it's longer, they use some sort of RAG with qdrant, it appears to be top-1 with context expansion, but nobody's knows for sure how they're doing the chunking.
Basically, get the BM25 results and normalize them to be between 0 and 1, then take the (potentially weighted) average of them and the cosine similarity results (already between 0 and 1) to get the final ranking.
> Based on my conversations with Williams, I think I now understand what he’s doing: he’s misinterpreting a cumulative 20-year change in the measured price level as a change in the measured annual inflation rate. And that caused him to overestimate that annual change by at least an order of magnitude.
Arrow's impossibility theorem only applies to ordinal voting systems. Quadratic voting is a cardinal system. Cardinal voting still isn't perfect, but it does get around some of the problems with ordinal systems.
This form of cardinal voting has a particularly egregious equivalent of the "additional candidate affects preference ordering" issue in ordinal voting systems though. Unlike the weird edge cases with preference ordering in ordinal votes, the effects of adding additional votes on reducing certain voting blocs' influence on other issues where ppeoplemust divide a budget across multiple issues often lead to intuitive (trivially simple, even) strategies to manipulate a particular outcome.
If you can add a proposition to the ballot paper which sufficiently threatens a particular group, they're forced to waste votes defending themselves against it, which means they have less influence on other issues they might also care about. As far as I can see the quadratic nature makes it worse, by making it more plausible a minority could actually lose a vote that threatens them if they only spent most of their credits defending themselves against it.
That's a bigger UX issue than non-sophisticated voters not really grasping the budgeting detail.
I'm not sure quadratic voting is the best cardinal voting system though. In particular it still fails to satisfy independence of irrelevant alternatives. So sure Arrow's impossibility may not apply, but the conclusion isn't actually different.
There's ~130 known unencoded scripts, about 70 historical and 60 modern (some of which are extinct, most of which just don't have that many users). Most of these have proposed ranges, but aren't actually in unicode yet. See https://linguistics.berkeley.edu/sei/index.html, which is the main group working to get the rest finished.
Could be. The others are each building their favourite vision of dystopia for profit. Netflix are selling entertainment shows. Hard to see them as the same class of dangerous but equally doesn't seem to have the same scope for revenue.
These days, it's more like a list of the companies that ruined tech and the internet. Microsoft certainly belongs on that list. Netflix made it better for a while at least.
I'm fine with remote work - people don't all need to be in the same place. I'm just tired of work from home. Internet speed, work/life balance, space for desk and monitors, etc.
I was forced to get a private office because my internet connection at home is terrible. It really is the best of all worlds— it lets me separate home from work effectively, I’m not worried about kicking my legs up and watching some YouTube videos when I have downtime between meetings, let’s me concentrate on my work away from my wife and kids, it has a gym that I use everyday after work and is right next to a golf course where I play a round every Friday when we don’t have any meetings or I don’t have anything pressing to complete before the weekend.
There's probably a business model in subleasing this fully built-out office space that's unused due to WFH and doing short-term rentals to companies/individuals who need temporary space.
Apple Card is 1% cash back on all purchases, 2% if you use Apple Pay, 3% if you shop at Apple (and a couple others now). It as Apple Cash so it can be used anyway you use Apple Pay (or just on your statement, I think). It’s not the best card but it’s decent.
Apple TV+, Apple Music, Apple Arcade, Apple News+, purchases of books, movies, TV shows, music their 30% cut of App Store revenues and subscriptions; the $99 developer fee for the App Store; Final Cut and Logic; Apple Card interest fees, iCloud subscriptions, probably other smaller scale things.
