I naively went into a work problem thinking that RAG was solved by the service offered at work, and wow was I wrong. Been a fun week so far experimenting with many different methods before doing the academic research, and it's been nice to be validated by outside research.

I picked the first, because you didn’t specified level, and I assumed below college.

ive been obsessed with deltarune this year, its probably the best indie rpg ever made. (and its only 5/7 chapters out)
@jamesjan3profilefollowresearcher, developer, dancerreplied to@johy🦥profilefollow:
i dont mind the waits, cause ive been really liking the theorizing part of it too, cause the community is super active in between chapters and theres soo much lore and thematic connections to dicuss.

Is it any better than Undertale? I played Undertale back when it came out, but despite all the hype I thought it was just ok. Nothing really that would make me go out of my way to play a sequel.
@jamesjan3profilefollowresearcher, developer, dancerreplied to@gruntprofilefollowI am just a grain of sand on your beach.:
yes its much better than undertale, from a gameplay and design perspective. undertale had good story and characters, but deltarune is just that + better production value

@hippo🦛profilefollowStrictly no LLMs. No exceptions.replied to@tel😴profilefollowI really enjoy learning, I really enjoy making. I'm learning to be less guarded.:
Short URLs are good. Memorable URLs are good. URLs spat out by URL shorteners are something entirely different.
@sicilicaprofilefollowreplied to@bobbyprofilefollow:
The longer the text you need to store, the bigger a QR code needs to be in order to scan reliably. Also, you might be more confident in being able to keep a short URL stable (it's already a step of indirection, so if you want to reorg your site you can just update where the short URL points to). But people don't really take care to maintain short URLs anyway, apparently.
