I kinda wonder if it's even feasible to do more technically advanced heists, other than perhaps online-only. The more complexity you add, the harder it is to maintain it. Have the worlds most complex heists already been done?

I'd just find it sad if they take the jewelry apart to sell the metal & stones.

There's a site that shows the location of long distance passenger trains in the US, it's crazy how much delay some of them have.

(Aside, now I'm tempted to send more in the hidden DM :-))

i don't know - that seems like a pretty generic query, and I'd at least also expect travel blogger type content there. There's room for a lot of different kinds of insights in search :).

I think these would basically stand on their own like any other website.

This looks interesting!

Duda putting on a mega webinar about conversions. And perhaps this will wake up some people who are still measuring their SEO efforts, or marketing efforts, the old way and not taking into account all the ways AI is changing the landscape!

Tempting.

But anyway.

Hope you're doing well!

I have a first class law degree, speak six languages and have published a book. I cannot understand coffee menus and have no idea how to ask for a simple coffee with milk. It's my most boomer complaint, except I was born in 1990.

I suspect Claude is just "overly helpful", but not doing an actual comparison with embeddings & keywords.

John Mueller @johnmu.com · 4d

I don't think that works.
- the embeddings depend on the algorithm used, and an LLM can't map text to a list of embeddings, without access to the functions used.
- embeddings for a single word (or 2-3 words) is going to be uncomparable to embeddings for longer texts (because of lack of context)

Do you know if it actually does something with the embeddings? If you're not getting the same embeddings for your keywords, I assume Le Claude is doing its own thing to recognize similarity?

Nice writeup, thanks for sharing!

I get where he's coming from, but I think long-term, this will be similar to how synthesizers & samplers panned out in music. Yes, you can be lazy and push-button-receive-music, but you can also use them as tools to craft a picture (or a part) of something that you feel inside.

AGAIN?

John Mueller @johnmu.com · 5d

nm i'll ask the chat

John Mueller @johnmu.com · 5d

Is there a tool for that? My content writer didn't know that they should have linked.

John Mueller @johnmu.com · 5d

Glad to help :)
