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?

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?

...The first?

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?

[–] ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Comments like this make asking these questions so worth it. That's such a cool thing to know is happening somewhere!

Err, has something changed or isn't Radio Free Asia still a somewhat questionable source?

 

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

 

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

 

Given it's open source, others could self-host their own variants of it if they'd like a non-federated alternative to Reddit.

 

I know the fun answers (and choose to believe them a little), but what was the real (cover) story?
