Sounds pretty similar to @lateinteraction.bsky.social's DSPy framework. Maybe worth combining the efforts?

If such bad content has bad UX, we might just weigh in the UX when pre-training LLMs, in the same way how most search engines weigh in the UX in search rankings. Probably some very interesting research direction on the edge between #HCI and #NLP.

Sehr schade, dass Heise als sonst hochwertiges Medium mit keinem Wort die Risiken und Nachteile solcher Technologie erwähnt. Leider klingt der Artikel so sehr nach Werbetext.

My very first commit was back in 2013, when I was 15:
github.com/LeaVerou/dpi...
Since then, I have committed 2.5 times a day on avg. 😁
Many of these contributions come from my research work.
Glad to have a job where open source is appreciated!

The opposite for me: I'm younger, but that also surprises me.
BM25 really is old but gold. 🤩
Let's see who outlives whom… 😉
