I had to look up embeddings: so this is comparing the encoding of movies as a similarity test?

Which can work because the encoding methods can indicate closeness of meaning.

And that’s why this isn’t running an llm in any way.

We had a big tree in the garden that was rotting, so now it’s gone. I did not expect to feel as strongly as I did over it.

Seeing the stump is so visceral, representing something that I thought of as effectively permanent being suddenly gone.

It shaded the garden and the house, it held a rope swing, so it was a tangible loss, but I think that its size is part of what made it so affecting.

Isn’t that twice as much tarp as you need? 10801080pi for a circle the same size.

With 5¼" disks, it was more convenient to keep them in a ring binder by punching holes in them.

The other similar story I’ve heard is someone asking for the backup copy of a disk and being handed a photocopy.

Some laptops use magnets to help the lid snap closed. I took the back off an old Lenovo and could see the magnets clipped inside.

I felt sorry for the one that nearly drowned in the recent LA rains

I mean, most objects are not human.

I recently went to the bank to get a letter on their headed notepaper to act as proof of account ownership. They just printed it out on blank paper from a laser printer.

“Our Pixel range has a fast easy-to-find fingerprint reader on the back. It’s possible to unlock the phone as you’re removing it from your pocket without even trying. How can we improve that?”

“How about we hide a slow, unreliable one somewhere under the screen. You can’t feel or see where it is. When you do find the right spot, it’ll illuminate your finger with the light of a thousand suns. Then, it might unlock the phone, if you’re lucky.”

Is this another example of him hiding some disguised image, just as he hid a picture of the brain in the Adam And God painting?
