I think it can be more efficient for two-step RAG so you can reuse the natural language query directly, but for agentic RAG it might indeed be overkill.
Also, depending on the ingredient, it makes more sense to use cups as a measurement of volume, not mass, when converting to metric. E.g. liquids, yoghurt etc.
Another thing: although not strictly metric, but European recipes also use tablespoon and teaspoon as measurements for smaller volumes, so no need to convert this.
Just my two cents, other than that very nice work!!
Please, please try using weight whenever possible, aka for all amounts >= 2 grams.
1. People are bad at measuring volume. This has been tested. There is much more variance in amounts measured by volume than be weight. See "science and cooking" (ferran adria).
2. Using a scale means doing a lot fewer dishes! (measuring cups, spoons, etc.)
22 years in the same Corp, targeting Linux systems since day one, and only in the first two years, and this year, have I been permitted a Linux desktop.
+2 years slugging in a vm.
Developing with out bash is just unnecessary work.
My productivity has more than doubled. easily. I manually type passwords half as much and when I do that is to access Microsoft services.
and in Swirzerland a large percentage of the voters have a required by law machine gun or have kept the required machine gun, for the required time, so the "e-id" will presumably be just another part of generaly orderly and significantly bizarre, swissness
very unlike whatever just got thrown out in merry old
the general population are dumb, you are expecting too much from them to be honest.
the forward March toward dystopian tomorrow will never stop, we will lament the stupidity of the public who made this possible in our small corners on the internet.
I think it generally not wise to project the political conflicts and fault lines of one's own country on to other countries which exist in very different contexts.
we started to see this kind of disturbing dystopian legislations in Australia, European countries, uk and next is the United States. I don't think it's limited to one country.
I voted no in this, but I was on the fence. In my experience people are smarter than they get credit for and the decisions made in these votes are often quite good. There was more to consider than privacy, it's also about the fact that most countries will implement something like this as it is pushed by the UN. So it might become required for some things in the future. Then we currently don't have a whole lot of ways to distinguish AI from people anymore, which will only get worse. Propaganda bots are real and we don't know how that will evolve. It will make a lot of the processes easier as you can do them from home, which is especially useful for disabled people that can not easily appear physically. Plus, it's more or less optional to have one for now.
And yet, I am still kinda disappointed it passed. We will see how it evolves.
This argument is not limited to gene therapies, but would apply to pretty much every pharmaceutical product.
One issue is however that the actual costs are not so much in early R&D (what the publicly funded universities and hospitals are doing), but in the later stage (clinical trials) which needs deep pockets and appetite for risk, which only big pharma has, because they see a potential big payout.
Right. Because your average citizen has a few hundred thousand dollars for their rare congenital disease. My bet — just wild eyed speculation — is that most of this stuff is paid for by the govt through sone sort of insurance-like subsidy. That means the risk is really borne by the tax payer.
FWIU in Grand Traverse Bay, Lake Michigan, there's a 9,000 year old stonehenge-like structure 40 feet underwater; that's 4000 thousand years older than Stonehenge and about 6000 years older than the Osireoin and the Pyramids.
