Businesses raise prices to cover the interchange fee, which impacts lower income consumers disproportionately.

Where did you see a F-150 Lightning new for less than $40k anywhere?

Dollar General and Family Dollar are smaller stores that are generally the only option within a reasonable travel distance. Here in the South, you might be able to catch a bus to Wal-Mart, but it’ll take 2-3X more time (1 hour instead of 20 minutes), so people go with the closer option even thought it is more expensive. No guarantees that Wal-Mart will be cheaper either.

I mean, it’s not trivial. There is a lot of work involved with enabling tool use at scale so that it works most of the time. Hiding that work makes it worse for the common user, because they aren’t necessarily going to understand the difference between platforms.

That’s because LLM’s generally don’t cite their sources. Web search is a tool outside of the LLM. Depending on the particular chat interface, there are any manner of tools in place to augment LLM capabilities/outputs, and they are constantly changing.

Sometimes you are searching for supporting evidence that is semantically related. COPD was just an example, you won’t get a direct keyword match if the Physician is searching for lung disease.

Keyword alone sucks for negation. Searching a set of patient documents for “Which of my patients has COPD?” to get a set of responses that states “COPD not indicated” will not endear you to the physician using your tool. Hybrid (keyword + semantic) is much more all-encompassing.

I use POE for my outdoor security cameras. They do not have access to a dedicated plug on the outside of my house.

It is common to use long context embedding models as a feature extractor for classification models.

Likely a very small one, or none at all. It’s 450M parameters, which is still in the sweet spot for CPU inference.

I think that people are uncomfortable with the idea that Google Maps is centralized and can unilaterally change what you see. Having an offline version of a map helps protect against sudden change (go forward or retroactive).

As an aside, I do really like organic maps. I keep it installed with downloaded maps for when I travel to places with poor signal, including hiking trails.

I have used the Remarkable 2 for papers, but it is slightly too small to read text comfortably. I’m also an active reader, so I miss the color highlighting. Annotations are excellent. For now, I’m sticking to reviewing papers in the Zotero application on my iPad.

Well, that seals the deal. If it doesn’t work for dentists in Japan, there is no point changing anything at all for US healthcare policy.
