Is RAG the right tool for this? My understanding was that RAG uses vector similarity to compare queries (the extracted string) versus the search corpus (the PDF file) using vector similarities. The use case you describe is verification, whi

The notion of 'borrowing' an e-book, which has no intrinsic limit to number of times it can be checked out or when it must be returned, is a joke.

I do the same in the Ergodox QMK firmware, no app needed on the device. Just mentioning it since OP has the same keyboard!

The thing with cooking meth is that you don't have to be comfortable putting it in your body. You just have to be comfortable selling it to someone else who will put it in their body! Unfortunately, for many meth producers/dealers

"verifying" signatures is an inherently insecure practice anyway. It's trivial to copy a signature any many people (like me) have poor writing that varies each time anyway. It's more about showing intent than verificatio

Out of curiousity: are you Irish? These patterns match some of my relatives, particularly ending sentences with "filler" words and the "th" pronounciation. I never thought about these as things that need fixing since the

I got reasonable offers from 2/3 companies I went on-site with from Triblebyte. I found that their stable of companies had too many tiny startups with questionable (read: boring/dumb) product ideas. I wanted a company with 100-300

sitting on the floor requires a pretty high degree of hip and hamstring flexibility to avoid rounding the pelvis under and introducing poor posture. You might be better off taking breaks to focus on improving hip mobility and work up to a s

Small counterpoint: many people who buy instruments want to buy the actual instrument they try out. Quality in guitars (and other instruments) is wide enough that one might play well, while another of the same model plays like a worse, chea

I don't know enough about Benford's law to draw conclusions, but is N=O(1000) a large enough sample size to expect it to apply? My intuition suggests that if county size does not span enough orders of magnitude then Benford's

IMO "weaving through traffic" is not a skill that makes you a good driver. It might take skill, but it's irresponsible and reckless. A good driver understands that weaving is more likely to result in injury, property damage,

My parents did this for me. As I got older (highschool) it was paid quarterly. It even encompassed clothing/school essentials, eventually. Part of the beauty of it was that I was incentivized to work during the summers to supplement it

I see how that's important. On the other hand, it's not as big of a deal to spread the virus if everyone has protection from the symptomatic risks. We should still shelter in place, but even turning active cases into carries would

Not to mention the absolute abyss of useless care that is physical therapy. The same cookie cutter treatment plans are assigned to every patient. Any PTs that have real skill and interest in curing their patients (as opposed to symptom mana

This is the hard part... I would say my current company does a poor job, and every other company I've worked for has also done a poor job. They've treated it like an internal playground for devs to validate that their features wor

We have all our staging systems report to DD and Sentry, tagged with an `env:stage/prod/whatever` tag to slice the metrics by. This helps maintain parity for alerting too (although pagerduty is not enabled for stage. Sometimes it&
