RAG не только для вопросов и ответов: почему он естественно подходит для рекомендаций

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) чаще всего рассматривается в контексте вопросно-ответных систем и чат-ботов поверх базы знаний. Большинство публикаций и руководств по RAG посвящено схеме «вопрос – ответ с опорой на документы». Однако внутренняя механика RAG – семантический поиск в сочетании с генерацией ответа на основе найденного – хорошо ложится и на другую задачу, которую традиционно решают иными методами: на рекомендации.Цель настоящей статьи – показать, что RAG представляет собой недоиспользованны Read more

I asked AI to show me a picture of my future kids, and learned a harsh lesson in how technology shows us what we want to see, not what’s real

I typed in two photographs, one of me and one of my partner, and waited about forty seconds for an app to show me our future child. What it returned was a soft-focus toddler with my partner’s mouth and something close to my eyes, lit like a nappy advertisement. My first reaction was not skepticism. ... Read more Read more

The quiet reason older adults stop attending reunions isn’t fading interest, it’s the slow recognition that nostalgia requires both parties to remember the same version of the past

Older adults often disappear from reunion guest lists not because they've lost interest, but because they've quietly discovered that nostalgia only works when both people remember the same version of the past — and the matching copies are getting harder to find. Read more

The UK’s Online Safety Act gives Ofcom the power to fine platforms 10% of their global revenue, which for Meta alone would be over $16 billion, and the enforcement unit responsible for issuing those fines has fewer than 50 staff

Bezos, Altman and Milner have poured billions into cell reprogramming as the new anti-aging frontier — and Life Biosciences just dosed the first human, but the field’s older bets left few clinical wins and brutal trial misses

On September 9, 1947, a technician on Harvard’s Mark II team taped a dead moth into the logbook beside the line ‘first actual case of bug being found’ — Grace Hopper didn’t find it, didn’t write it, and didn’t coin the term, but she told the story so well for 45 years that it became hers

Some children get a note sent home. Too quiet. Doesn’t participate. Needs to come out of their shell.
