Как я строю рекомендательную модель фильмов: cold start, вектор вкуса и GPT

Выбрать фильм на вечер сложно даже для одного человека.А если фильм нужно выбрать для пары, где вкусы просто разные, задача становится ещё менее предсказуемой.Обычные подборки, жанровые фильтры и списки “что посмотреть вечером” помогают только до определённого момента.Они работают как витрина, но плохо работают как персональная рекомендация, потому что почти не учитывают зрительский опыт, индивидуальные предпочтения и то, какие фильмы человек вообще уже видел.Именно с этой задачи я и подошёл к...

Psychology says people who genuinely know their worth don’t announce it or defend it, they operate with a quiet certainty that makes negotiation, justification, and proving themselves feel like a foreign language

They move through life with an unshakeable calm that makes everyone else's constant need for validation look like a desperate performance, and once you understand why, you'll never see confidence the same way again. Read more

If someone over 70 has started spending long stretches of time doing something that looks useless from the outside (staring at birds, rereading the same book, sitting in the garden doing nothing) they’re not declining, they’re doing the most important work of their entire life

There’s a small park near our apartment in Saigon where, most afternoons, an old Vietnamese man sits on the same concrete bench under the same tree. He doesn’t read. He doesn’t use a phone. He doesn’t talk to anyone. He just sits, watching the light move across the pavement, sometimes closing his eyes, sometimes watching ... Read more Read more
