In russian, "sisi" is a variation of "tits". Is there a job/services that confirm that branding is appropriate across different languages? Seems like a non trivial problem to solve.

It's definitely not a good name in English either
I assume you're reading it as "sissy", but I read it as "seesee", which is fine in English.

#13I have made similar android app for semantic image search, works offline too, still gathering feedback and polishing UI, but it works, if you are brave enough here is it https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tE0cY6umj5h5zCY_Jvaou1M8sCf...
Is there a github link?

I read about a company in the 1990s that did that. They went one step further - picking culturally appropriate colors, shapes, numbers, and then permuting the brand names to favorable variations for a country. My (probably wrong) 25 year old recollection was when they introduced subway in China they basically found a way to pronounce it that translated to "this place is delicious". I bet it was in Wired. If not that, probably New York Magazine.

Took me 5 minutes to land this GPT prompt.
https://chatgpt.com/share/66e84c0c-a92c-800a-b452-255d6fe942...
Results:
- Chinese (Simplified) 四四 (sì sì) – sounds like "four-four", which can be associated with bad luck due to the number four in Chinese culture
- Arabic "Sisi" is a common nickname, also associated with Egypt's President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi
- Russian Сиси (sisi) – slang for breasts
- Bulgarian Сиси (sisi) – slang for breasts
- Serbian Сиси (sisi) – slang for breasts
- Croatian Sisi – slang for breasts
You should probably complement with a web search and a wiktionary search because they have all languages on a single page.

Does ChatGPT get anything right, ever?
In Bulgarian the slang is Цици (tsi tsi). I imagine it's near-identical for many other Slavic languages.

#17I was planning to do this myself lol. I was going to use SQLite as the index, and use `sqlite-vec` or something similar to query for similar files directly. I think the only other thing I was planning were more filters, `"positive term" -"negative term"` to be able to negate results, `>90"search"` to find images that match by >90% and some generic filters like `--size >1mb` to help narrow it down when you are looking for a specific image. Quantizing embeddings to make them smaller/faster also seemed interesting but I haven't tried doing it yet.

Yeah I noticed it was pretty shaky, change the prompt a bit and the result changes a lot. Not very reliable after all by itself, but used in conjunction with other methods.

We have not decided what to do with it yet. It could be free, paid, or open source. However, the logic code for using semantic search with CLIP-compatible models on Android will be available on GitHub.
