@jaycaspiankang @honorablepicnic You can pregenerate a few hundred to a few thousand passages and serve those instead of generating on demand for each user.

@isaiah_bb I would actually just ask Claude or ChatGPT to generate a set of prompts & scripts to do this fwiw

@isaiah_bb It needs more structure than just “give me a deck from 8000 cards”

[Pranjal Vachaspati @probablypranjal]

@isaiah_bb I would do something like this:
- tell it to look at the cards and identify some themes/deck archetypes
- for each theme, have it rate each card from 1-10
- then give it a set of highly rated cards and ask it for a balanced deck.

It's insane that this (or waiting on the phone for 1 hour +) is the only way to cancel your RCN subscription. @SomervilleCity should reconsider allowing them to operate like this.

@ArmandDoma Something like 40% of Americans are teetotalers, not that unusual - including Biden, Trump, Bush, Pence. Only Obama, Harris, and Cheney have been drinkers this century! https://t.co/mznf4nixWU

If you were not politically conscious/consuming the internet in 2004, this is what online election culture was like fyi

@revhowardarson do pollsters not get age info from voter records?

@ArmandDoma The landlord returns your security deposit because they know they'll have to pay treble damages if they don't

[Pranjal Vachaspati @probablypranjal]

@ArmandDoma this person has probably had the landlord fix stuff in their apartment at least in part because of the existence of tenant protections around repairs/habitable living conditions.

@notamateurhour Can it play doom?

@BijanTavassoli @SwiftOnSecurity California and New England have prices similar to Germany

@charlescwcooke Will you apply the same logic to "from the river to the sea", "intifada", etc.?

[Pranjal Vachaspati @probablypranjal]

@lauraroyden Fixed

@isaiah_bb What app is this?

[Pranjal Vachaspati @probablypranjal]

@CarlOrkmansen What's the direction of causation though? If sale prices went up due to institutional buyers, you'd see rental prices flat/down. If sale prices went up due to general demand, investors might predict this and hop on for the ride, but you'd also see rent prices go up
