I like to ask a variety of questions, sometimes silly, serious, and/or strange. Never asking in an attempt to pester or “just asking questions” stuff.
Will I migrate from Lemm.ee to elsewhere? I don’t know yet. If I do, you’ll see here. If not, never stop questioning everything!

3·6 months agoI’ve not used retrieval augmented generation as far as I’m aware, so my reference point is what’s been pushed to the masses so far (dunno if any of it incorporates RAG, correct me if I’m mistaken).
Looking it up I can see how it may mitigate some issues, however I still don’t have much confidence that this is a wise application since at base it’s still generative text. What I’ve tried so far has reinforced this view, as it’s not served as a good research aid.
Anything it has generated for me has typically been superficial, i.e. info I can easily find on my own, because it’s on the sites right there in the first page of search results. In other situations the source articles cited seem not to exist, as attempts to verify them turn up nothing.
Perhaps true, but with the nature of the errors involved (generating anything instead of error messages for lacking info) and requisite reviewing, which itself demands research (which was what it was being used to shortcut to begin with in this context), isn’t it still something of an ill fit for this?

Was there a particular edition you enjoyed, or would you say go for whichever?
It’s not all that expensive, so why not? Lots of countries have big monuments, historic buildings for their legislatures to be in and so forth, this is just that in human form.
Are we sure they’re not all that expensive, comparatively speaking to the monuments and historic buildings and the like?
you’re forced to have one for “networking”
Does it even do its job in this regard?

5·7 months agoJust be aware that you might as well make up your own rituals because they’re just as successful as stuff in any of the books, and a lot less expensive.
Sweet, so 1. it’s all summoning, and 2. blowing bubbles while making silly sounds to summon is a valid ritual for bringing on the good vibes.
Cruising on a boat, spot a shark fin, “Hey pal want a tow?” Or if the boat has some kinda bay, “Flop aboard for a ride sharko!”
Personally, and it might end me one day, but almost any kinda lizard I think I’d welcome in.
Also sometimes groundhogs look like they might like a brief lift to another patch of dirt to dig around in, or I dunno, maybe a brief snack run.
[…] why would anyone even want it when it won’t even federate with anyone […]
Federation isn’t always seen as a positive (see: discussions linked on fedibridge complaining, without realizing it sometimes, of certain instances’ people) for those aware of it, and for many more it’s just not even a factor they consider.
But also bleh about the search, wasn’t aware of that.
Do you think it’s strictly a lack of users, or that the current userbase may have a rather narrow set of interests?

What about one nice comment across posts as well?
You’re getting sandwiches for commenting?? /s
Would taking notes from some dogs and rolling in foul stuff count?
Oral essay? As in a monologue? Is cosplay involved?
