Yes, synonym searching doesn’t strictly mean the thesaurus. There are a lot of different ways to connect related terms and some variation in how they are handled from one system to the next. Letting machine learning into the mix is a very new step in a process that Library and Information Sci has been working on for decades.
Searching with synonym matching is almost.decades old at this point. I worked on it as an undergrad in the early 2000s.and it wasn’t new then, just complicated. Google’s version improved over other search algorithms for a long time.and then trashed it by letting AI take over.
Visiting my husband’s home town where this has happened and all his parent’s friends have moved into trailers because the houses where they raised their kids were bought for insane amounts but then they couldn’t afford a smaller house in the same town. Where we live now on the East Coast, we can no longer stay in our school district for less than half a million because doctors from larger urban areas keep buying the houses in our school district and we’re being forced 60+100 miles out from my hometown where we raised our young kids to even begin to afford housing.
Totally with you. I lost a lot of faith I had in NPR in their reporting during the run up to and early years of the Iraq war. Their coverage of the Sanders Democratic Primary runs of 2016 and 2020 was also pathetic. I managed to get a lot of my former Republican friends to listen to it instead of talk radio now but I personally have such a hard time with it.
They were like this about the Epic V Google suit too. their legal reporting team is over-the-top.
Except Dunkin. I can’t get a coffee worth shit at Dunkin.
IDK, voting for Regan in 1980 was before the internet was widely available to the public to and it’s one move that’s blamed for a lot of the decay for the last 40 years.
Looks like I’m wrong, before they rehired Altman they ditched the board members responsible for his ousting so there were major changes after all.
I’m not convinced this wasn’t a planned strategy to get OpenAI back in the headlines for a week.
I didn’t think so at first but now that it looks like everything will go back to “normal” before the US Thanksgiving Weekend, I feel like maybe this was a “Chinese Firedrill” to get attention for something other than their training data and legal problems.
Not that I’ve found. Despite feeling like they must be worth something I’ve never found an actual use case for an old smartphone besides giving it to someone who can’t afford their own. I would love to donate old phones to a social service to be given to job seekers, homeless, domestic violence victims, etc.
I’m kinda grateful iPads and tablets were hella expensive when my kids were small because now the temptation to give the baby their own iPad because they are cheap on Woot or whatever must be tremendous.
The survey you’re quoting was that 90% of teens said they wanted an iPhone.
I have teens and know a lot of them right now among actual hardware they are still in 50/50 iPhone-Android at least among my kids’ friends.
Teens say they want brand-name shit all the time but reality is that most of them are toting hand-me-down hardware from their parents.
Oldest Millennials were almost too old for Gaia. We were 18-22 at it’s launch in 2003.
I got my start on Alamak Chat in late 1995 but I had friends who had already been on IRC or Usenet for years prior to that.
Is this their first platform death? Come on, Wired!
Millennials have been losing platforms on the Internet for pretty much the whole history of the Internet. Just a handful of “social media” type services that have risen and fallen in my years of the internet: AOL Instant Message, ICQ, IRC, Usenet, LiveJournal, MySpace, on and on.
Most of these aren’t even properly “dead”, many I just.mentioned still have big user groups too. They just lost a critical user share when folks moved on.
Bullshit, fuzzy matching is a lot older than this AI LLM.
