Can someone explain why this comment feels like guerrilla marketing?

Should the title be corrected to source-available?

Query expansion and re ranking can and often do coexist

Roughly, first there is the query analysis/manipulation phase where you might have NER, spell check, query expansion/relaxation etc

Then there is the selection phase, where you retrieve all items that are relevant. Sometimes people will bring in results from both text and vector based indices. Perhaps and additional layer to group results

Then finally you have the reranking layer using a cross encoder model which might even have some personalisation in the mix

Also, with vector search you might not need query expansion necessarily since semantic similarity does loose association. But every domain is unique and there’s only one way to find out

Models like bge are small and quantized versions will fit in browser or on a tiny machine. Not sure why everyone reaches for an API as their first choice

I don’t know if this is related, but for me the terminal is broken and causes VS Code to crash. It only happens after a command finishes executing and before the shell prompts again

This is true assuming there will be updates consistently. One of the advantages of the proprietary models is that the are updated often EKG and the cutoff date moves into the future

This is important because libraries change, introduce new functionality, deprecate methods and rename things all the time, e.g. Polars.

The number of times I've heard "I'm good" honestly breaks my heart. Only to have people call me "Hermoine" etc (I am a straight cis man). I wonder what's the best way to talk about this

Fully agree, a set of pedals should be able to power a kitchen machine or other appliances too

How does this compare to deepwiki?

As a consumer, you want the streaming service to be decoupled from the studios so your single streaming service can access all the content

> no increased risk of all-cause mortality

> study including 22.7 million vaccinated individuals and 5.9 million unvaccinated individuals

These are the important bits for the non medical folks

> There is not enough consolidation

This is an absolutely wild (and incorrect) thing to assume. The problem of content lock-in is anti-competitive and it would be better solved without mergers

I'm with you, it's very satisfying to see a simple technique work well. It's impressive

> I don’t particularly enjoy building orgs and figuring out people stuff. Engineering management involves navigating interpersonal dynamics, performance reviews, and organizational design. These are crucial functions, but they’re not where my strengths lie.

This bit got me. It's a direct quote from the linked post for those who haven't read it

"Smart" just means enshittegenic. Ripe for enshittification.

To stick to the metaphor (apologies if this isn't HN friendly)

Smart TV? Fart TV

Smart display? Fart display

Smart fridge? Fart fridge

Voxtral mini is a bit bigger but their mixed language demos looked super impressive https://mistral.ai/news/voxtral

This needs to be higher, the installer on the README has a trojan.

Lucene's WFST is an insanely good and underappreciated in-process key value store. Assuming that you're okay with a 1 hour lag on your data.

Keyvi is also interesting in this regard

This was my contribution to their docs, happy to see people find it useful :)

While that's an interesting read, reality would disagree

> You cannot make people work for you and hoard all the profits while they are stuck with fixed salaries, without in the process developing strong feelings on why you're entitled to do that and how they deserve it actually.

I wonder why we don't see more software engineering co ops?

Is this an ad? Can you buy upvotes for HN?

It would be really interesting for enterprise or gamedev software to start supporting steam OS, I know a fair amount of people planning on switching from Windows to Steam OS when 10 is EOL'd

Disagree, as a consumer I want to know this

It's like a website but for code instead of people.

People use web browsers to hit websites, but when code hits URLs they are typically just called APIs. A website is technically an API too

Truly a disastrous slippery slope.

"What if we looked at advertising, but not for too long?"

Is there any established literature on accountability?

I'm interested in how to bake accountability into an organization. I don't like the idea of using whistleblowing as a crutch because things have to get really bad for someone to blow the whistle.

This is a really good question, and I'd love to know the answers here too

Would be cool to see a front end for this in Mojo when the language matures a bit
