Adult hedgehogs are also safe to pet, but only if they want to.

When I was a kid, I found one in the woods. At first it would ball up or escape when I arrived, but eventually it would fold down the spikes to let me pet it.

Thanks, I think this is a good clarification, I had not encountered rerankers outside this specific implementation.

Obviously they were assuming balloons were filled with supervacuum. We have had 100 years and not invented even that.

Truly we have failed our ancestors.

For those (like me 10 minutes ago) who wonder what are reranker models...

Reranker models are models which can evaluate the semantic similarity of two pieces of text. They can be used to improve RAG systems which use embeddings to look for relevant documents. The reranker model can then be used to select the best candidates.

This improves the result, because reranker models look at the two pieces of content simultaneously and can be fine tuned to the domain in question. They shouldn't be used for the initial retrieval because the evaluation time is O(n²) as each combination of input and document pair needs to be evaluated as a pair.

That may be, but the finnish word for a car window washer is "pissapoika" which translates to "piss boy".

But of course.

The only choice if you are buying one to run a local LLM-AI-Girlfriend.

I don't think they solved the smelly nerd problem. Replacing the scent cartridge requires disassembling the card. For someone who can't be bothered to shower, how do they expect their users to do this to smell nice?

For 2. I feel also like arriving with shields up and then bringing them down is a strong message too, when communicating peaceful intent. Familiar races would also come to recognize that this is how starfleet does things and not consider the default aggressive.

I just had the opposite happen.

I needed to get an analog audio signal out from an old PS3, but it has an odd proprietary connector.

How a converter cable for that ended in my cable bin Ill never know, but the purpose of the bin has been vindicated for at least a decade.
