I'm asking everyone almost anything @lemm.ee

Hey, did you know that we're everyone asking everywhere?

  • Oral essay? As in a monologue? Is cosplay involved?

  • I'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?

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    What tools or resources do you wish existed?

    No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    Besides money/capitalism, why are tech companies trying to push AI text generators over search engines?

  • Given some similar issues, why is it some projects still use IRC then?

  • [Moved to Piefed] Ask @lemm.ee

    What do you think might "break" the network effect of a platform?

  • 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?

  • ...The first?

  • By any chance do you know if this is simply a forked AppView (as it appears), or aiming to be a distinct Relay & AppView?

  • [Moved to Piefed] Ask @lemm.ee

    Have companies doing licensed crossovers reported any data on how many stick with their properties after their crossover deals?

  • Anything tbh, including what you've provided regarding it working well. I've read of mixed experiences elsewhere but thought it'd be good to ask for some more recent info on how it's doing.

    It's also very funny that as I check back in on this the other most recent comment is adding to the mixed experience accounts I've seen before now. 😅

  • How's people's experience been with Cryptomator? I keep going back & forth on looking for other tools or just committing to using it.

  • Hmm, I think you may be right, gives me some more search terms to work with if nothing else!

  • Data Hoarder @lemmy.world

    Advice on ripping character art/concept art extras from dvds?

  • Comments like this make asking these questions so worth it. That's such a cool thing to know is happening somewhere!

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Which jobs has the internet largely eliminated, undercut, or reduced?

  • But did they caw back?

  • Cyberpunk @lemmy.zip

    What cyberpunk media (movies/games/books/etc.) do you like to revisit?

  • Just 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!"

  • [Moved to Piefed] Ask @lemm.ee

    What are the opposite of demon summoning rituals, like for benign entities, called?

    No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    Are there rollerblading performances like ice skating performances?

  • 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.

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Which animals, besides cats or dogs, would you give a ride to or intentionally let in your home with barely a second thought?

  • Where's the, "my email address in the from field will do", fall on this? 😂

  • [...] 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.

  • Only Stupid Questions @lemm.ee

    When is everyone here getting married to Linux?

    Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    What are some things you keep an eye out for a better, or different version of?

    Lemmy @lemmy.ml

    How do you think Lemmy's interoperability with other federated software (beyond Mbin/Piefed) could be improved?

    Fediverse @lemmy.world

    Do you use other federated software besides Lemmy (e.g. Mastodon/Pixelfed/etc.), if so which?

    [Moved to Piefed] Ask @lemm.ee

    Has anyone spotted any sites built with Discuit, a non-federated Reddit alternative, besides Discuit.net?

    Out of the loop @lemmy.world

    Why was JD Vance meeting with Pope Francis anyway?

    Out of the loop @lemmy.world

    When did Twitch enable requiring phone number verification to follow some channels?

    No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    Given how paintball guns work, could you swap paintballs for waterballs?

    Games @sh.itjust.works

    Which wired controllers, without batteries, would you recommend for PC?
