Inline citations. I use perplexity all the time to find HackerNews or Reddit threads on certain topics, or conduct baseline research on topics. It will return the standard LLM answer but with inline citations which I can then use to verify or explore further.

Not sure, but I'd think it would also help to keep your fan clean.

Interested in this as well. Applying machine learning in this way could create some interesting game play.

Really enjoyed this show. Found the inter-planetary political games particularly interesting.

This reminds me of one of my favorite quotes:

"It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude."

- Self-Reliance by Ralph Waldo Emerson

In theory, couldn't an interested party filter out the blocklist from the all other traffic? It would be more interesting to have a dynamic list that gets updated based on actual user behavior. That way, the interested party wouldn't be able to filter out the blocklist without potentially filtering out actual traffic. This of course would create all kinds of legal issues.

I'm interested in an in-depth tutorial that shows how to use the plugin to perform this kind of analysis. While I don't work in trading, I can see a lot of good uses for a tool like this while conducting other financial analysis.

I just bought a suit from indochino.com - For less than $400 you get a custom made suit from China in about 3 weeks. Their "fit" guarantees are nice too. You have to do you measurements yourself or by an experienced tailor(I enlisted the help of my girlfriend) but they'll give a $75 credit to get it tailored further if needed.

The quality of the fabric is good IMO - much better than department store suits. I would say it's definitely worth checking out if you are looking for a suit.

I've bought $200 suits from department stores only to spend another $100 on tailoring.. for a bit more you get a custom quality suit - from a company with a compelling business model.

I use a dedicated gmail address. Here's why: (1) It's portable. I can send myself an email from my phone, laptop, ipad, etc. (2) It's searchable. I can go back and search for specific keywords or topics I wrote about. (3) It's easy to organize. I can label my posts as personal/work/etc and setup filters to apply these labels based on the subject line. (4) Short learning curve. I use my personal gmail account everyday. & (5) It's relatively secure.

Edit: (6) It's free.

To piggy back off the restaurant genome project idea, it would be great if food allergies and restrictions were incorporated as well. My girlfriend is gluten free so we don't often eat out (or explore) because most restaurants can't accommodate her needs.

I keep track of it in my head as well. However I would love a better system to keep track of my tailored cover letters and resumes. In my last job search I had several versions of the same resume going depending on the type of job I was applying for. I also would tailor my cover letter for every application.
