Could someone point me towards a good resource for learning how to build a RAG app without llangchain or llamaindex? It's hard to find good information.

> The outcome provably does not exist until you measure it.

This is not true. It only provably does not exist in local hidden variables.

I think it was a top level post, but my confidence is low.

What do I search for to find music/audio like this? It sounds so beautiful.

That's not quite true. The function call in question is

> ImageInstanceQ[x,"caprine animal",RecognitionThreshold->i/100]

I think it's less misleading to say it has a generic image recognition function that supports goats, among many other recognition targets.

Highly unlikely? Tim cook literally said in the quote "You can never say never."

What about people who game on their laptop (at home) but don't need to game on the go? In that case an eGPU also sounds like a reasonable choice. They can just leave the eGPU at home and still be productive away from their desk.

> "Critical" has a precise meaning in these kinds of systems; it essentially means when correlation lengths diverge (or, with a finite brain, become the size of the whole).

If someone doesn't know what "critical" means, they also don't know what a "correlation length" is, so I don't think this clarification is very helpful. Who was the intended audience?

This is not generally true in my experience. You can buy cheap take-out/counter-service food, or expensive take-out/counter-service food.

3-4 hours every day?! How do you find the time to do that, in addition to medical school? That's 1/4 of the waking hours in a day.

Can someone explain? I can barely parse this quote. Who are the 1P devs? Why does it matter that they didn't notice they had made a minor change? Why were they "tricked"?

Edit: I think I might understand it more now: This person got tricked into carefully reviewing the "entire" code, instead of focusing on the one minor change that was made to it, because they didn't realize it was only the minor change they had to review. In their careful review of the code, they uncovered vulnerabilities which were actually related to the original code (ie. VSCode) rather than the changes that this person was asked to review. Did I get it? I'm still confused about the use of "1P" here though.
