Ah interesting!
No worries. Sorry again about that! I thought you were soliciting feedback from anyone who read it 😅

Oh no, so sorry about that!
I saw it come up in my Scour feed just from your RSS feed and thought others would be interested.

When you do a search or add an interest, I do call their API to embed the query. However, for interests you've configured, I store the embedding so I don't need to call their API each time

Glad to hear it! I’m using their API to generate the embeddings but I’m storing them myself in SQLite

In both the RSS and Atom specs there is a source property on the item that I think is meant for this purpose

(And meant to mention that Scour also turns every user feed and interest-specific feed into an outbound RSS feed!)

Using ‘Slop Forensics’ to Determine Model Ancestry
Yesterday, after playing with some smaller models, I started to experiment with the idea of a flowchart for determining a model’s ancestry with a few prompts. For example, could you ask it about state...

I came across the paper Harnessing the Universal Geometry of Embeddings (arxiv.org/abs/2505.12540) and The Platonic Representation Hypothesis (arxiv.org/abs/2405.07987). It's pretty wild that different models converge on similar representations of the same data!
Harnessing the Universal Geometry of Embeddings
We introduce the first method for translating text embeddings from one vector space to another without any paired data, encoders, or predefined sets of matches. Our unsupervised approach translates an...

Thanks for letting me know! I'll DM you to get more details and figure out what's going wrong

I’ve heard good things about Refactoring UI from the Tailwind folks.
Haven’t gotten around to reading it yet so I’ve been using picocss.com 😅
