There are chain of thought and tree of thought approaches and maybe even more. From what I understand it generates answer in several passes and even with smaller models you can get better results.

However it is funny how AI (LLMs) is heavily marketed as a thing that will make many jobs obsolete and/or will take over humanity. Yet to get any meaningful results people start to build whole pipelines around LLMs, probably even using several models for different tasks. I also read a little about retrieval augmented generation (RAG) and apparently it has a lot of caveats in terms of what data can and can not be successfully extracted, data should be chunked to fit into the context and yet retain all the valuable information and this problem does not have "one size fits all" solution.

Overall it feels like someone made black box (LLM), someone tried to use this black box to deal with the existing complexity, failed and started building another layer of complexity around the black box. So ultimately current AI adopters can find themselves with two complex entities at hand. And I find it kind of funny.

Good to know that I am not the only one doing this πŸ˜…

One of the mobile clients corrupted all passwords for me. I ended up losing only 2 passwords, and only 1 I wasn't able to restore. Good lesson on why backups are important though :)

A little off the topic, but sometimes I wonder if driving a rally car with a cage, 5 point seatbelts and a helmet will be more safe on a highway. Like it seems to me that it is safer, but will it actually be?

What is "carrying stuff the way a truck does"? No offense, I really do not understand

Depends on your requirements. I am mostly able to get along with LibreOffice and I tried Collabora, though both suck in their own way. Winedb says that Office 95 and 2013 have "Gold" rating. Maybe I will try later next week to install the 2013 version.

I looked up online calculators and it gives me 21.1% from sberbank. However it's just interest rate. And with additional fees it shows up to 24.4%. And you should bear in mind that actual terms tend to be worse. There is also a "military mortgage" which "starts from 18.9%", but it is not any better tbh.

Edit: apparently there are cheaper mortgages starting from 5% and 6% if you are buying "new property" that are labeled as "IT" and "family" ones. I don't know terms for those, but they are definitely not for everyone and they might have conditions which restrict those to a really small group of people. And you can't buy second hand property with those.

Day of the Wacko

Well, it didn't make to the news, and the person in question eventually returned back to work, so it all ended well I guess. It was in one of the smaller cities in the eastern part of Russia, let's say that it was Tomsk.

And I also know a person who had some medical condition, something tells me that it was diabetes, but I can be wrong. So they fell unconcious in the winter and ended up laying in the snow for quite some time. And it was long enough for their fingers to be amputated. And the scariest thing that it was in a relatively crowded place, so there were a lot of people who could have helped them, but decided to just ignore them.

And don't feel horrible, it's just some of the stories, and they don't represent the whole picture. Also I tend to notice that usually all the horrible stuff is just easier to notice and remember and all the good things feel natural and just go by. At least it is true for me :)

Getting Arch-based distro as a daily-driver feels like a very strange choice to me, however I should admit that I still use Arch-wiki as a first source of help in case I encounter any problems. But if you like Endeavour, good for you! I should probably check it out too some time :)

Well, I've been in a situation where person had a stroke and everyone just assumed they were on drugs. Although the. ambulance have been called and not the police, but I still felt really bad for the person as everyone around them talked about how they went for a smoke not so long ago and definitely took something and were on drugs. And it was in Russia, so yeah, assholes can be found anywhere
