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 W…

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, be…

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…

If you read the model card, Qwen3-Next can be extended to 1M context length with YaRN. > Qwen3-Next natively supports context lengths of up to 262,144 tokens. For conversations whe…

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 l…

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 ende…

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

I mean, just this week there was a popular post “My AI Skeptic Friends are all Nuts” that generated a ton of such discussion and dismissal. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=441…

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 again…

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 excelle…

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.

I don't use Mistral 7B alone, this is just a component in a RAG-based system. A system that is 1) not clinical facing, 2) not used in clinical decision making, 3) provides in-line …

Mistral 7B has a context window of 32k. I use it in production for medical summarization tasks supporting appeals and physician advisory services.

I acknowledge there are issues on the provider side, but it is disingenuous to say that providers set the prices alone. Payers introduce a ton of inefficiencies in billing and also…

Don’t forget “we don’t build weapons…well the company does but my team doesn’t.”

Every release is novel. Once something has been around for a while and is still being referenced, you know it’s worth learning. Waiting 3-6 months to take a deep dive is a good pat…

I mean, the ones that do ask don’t proceed to signing up. I think we are seeing a form of survival bias.

It was a bit surprising to click this link on my VPN. Wish it had a NSFW tag. Uncensored is a bit of a crapshoot when it comes to GenAI, half of the time is just means "no instruct…

No worries. Sorry if I came off as combative.

I am aware of the replaceable nibs, and I don’t have a problem with those. I have a Remarkable 2 and I use it practically every day. I replaced the nib with a titanium one and it f…

I have been really interested in this device, but the proprietary stylus really turned me off. In addition to not working on any other e-ink reader/notepad, it is a mystery to me w…
