Oral essay? As in a monologue? Is cosplay involved?

I've not used retrieval augmented generation as far as I'm aware, so my reference point is what's been pushed to the masses so far (dunno if any of it incorporates RAG, correct me if I'm mistaken).

Looking it up I can see how it may mitigate some issues, however I still don't have much confidence that this is a wise application since at base it's still generative text. What I've tried so far has reinforced this view, as it's not served as a good research aid.

Anything it has generated for me has typically been superficial, i.e. info I can easily find on my own, because it's on the sites right there in the first page of search results. In other situations the source articles cited seem not to exist, as attempts to verify them turn up nothing.

Perhaps true, but with the nature of the errors involved (generating anything instead of error messages for lacking info) and requisite reviewing, which itself demands research (which was what it was being used to shortcut to begin with in this context), isn't it still something of an ill fit for this?

 

Either abstract, for lack of a better word, (like software/info-related) or non-abstract (physical tools/resources).

 

They're two different tools with different purposes, so why treat one like it can replace the other?

Given some similar issues, why is it some projects still use IRC then?

 

For those unfamiliar with the network effect, I'm referring roughly to this (from Wikipedia):

Network effects are typically positive feedback systems, resulting in users deriving more and more value from a product as more users join the same network.

Was there a particular edition you enjoyed, or would you say go for whichever?

It’s not all that expensive, so why not? Lots of countries have big monuments, historic buildings for their legislatures to be in and so forth, this is just that in human form.

Are we sure they're not all that expensive, comparatively speaking to the monuments and historic buildings and the like?

you’re forced to have one for “networking”

Does it even do its job in this regard?

[–] ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

...The first?

 

From what I've read it's pretty clear these deals tend to do well by the main metrics companies care about (making lots of money in short order), but I haven't read or seen as much about how many people then become returning customers for the original properties.

Anyone happen to have found any reports/mentions from shareholder meetings about this kinda thing?

Anything tbh, including what you've provided regarding it working well. I've read of mixed experiences elsewhere but thought it'd be good to ask for some more recent info on how it's doing.

It's also very funny that as I check back in on this the other most recent comment is adding to the mixed experience accounts I've seen before now. 😅

How's people's experience been with Cryptomator? I keep going back & forth on looking for other tools or just committing to using it.

Anyone know what this small big friend is?

 

Finally been getting around to ripping some shows I've collected and had forgotten some included artwork in the extras. However outside of screenshotting each art piece I'm not sure how else to rip/extract them.

They're shown as still images in a simple gallery with previous, extras (to return to the extras menu), and next buttons beneath the image being viewed.

 

Also anyone have any guidebooks? Want to get together and conjure friendly otherworldly entities?

 

Also is it a collective wedding or are we doing wedding hops like distro hops?

 

Things in the broadest of senses, stories/books/movies/shows/games/etc., technologies, jobs, whatever you tend to keep on the lookout for.

How would one use it if they're struggling to understand it to start with? 🤨
