“The Pitt” is a blistering allegory of America and simultaneously
a mournful, defiant celebration of Americans that is in sharp contrast to the story of the USA that is being fed to us today. This is the counter-narrative we need in this moment.

// Svelte
let count = 0;
let name = "Bob";
const unchanging = 42; // const is fine because it never changes

// React equivalent
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
const [name, setName] = useState("Bob");
const unchanging = 42; // still just a regular const

Huh. I expected diminishing returns but not actually getting worse. #ai #retrieval #reranker
Oh wow!

A surprising result from Databricks when measuring embeddings and rerankers on internal evals.

1- Reranking few docs improves recall (expected).
2- Reranking many docs degrades quality (!).
3- Reranking too many documents is quite often worse than using embedding model alone (!!).

My good friend @schneiderb.bsky.social is writing a book. I can't wait to read it in early 2025!
Did you know that I'm writing a book?

It's called "School Marketing The Right Way" and it should be published in the New Year.

I'm excited to share the cover of the book with you. 😀
