What actually mattered: * hybrid retrieval (dense + keyword) * lightweight reranking * simple topic-level boosting No big models, no SFT.. Gains mainly from better candidate selection, not generation.

My project (Purple) beats MemPalace on LongMemEval (+0.4pp NDCG@10). No big tricks .. just a simple, well-tuned system. Still lot of gains to be made in retrieval + ranking!

Feeling a little unstoppable the past month. 1) The number of entire companies I coded in the past week- replacing stuff I used already and canceling contracts. 2) The apps where it's easier to just make it instead of sign up for something and deal with them 3) The creative process unlock- holy FUCK I feel like I've could rebuild everything I made in the last 20 years in a week or two. The engine is fucking on Current portfolio is ~-elsewhere~- but I have some wild projects.

Curious that every insular crypto group appears to develop their own localized cryptic language for common simple concepts. Do we want people to use things? docs.chia.net/guides/crash-c…

School programs should be encouraging young minds to make use of AI in every lesson and assignment and instead they are going the opposite direction viewing it as a form of cheating. How do we school the schools?
