FWIW, CZ is (and was viewed as) a good actor in the industry. He did a lot of good not only for crypto adoption but for access to better fiat currencies for people in countries with hyper-inflating collapsing system. comparing him to SBF (like many do) is absolutely not fair.
he fcked up on AML front for sure and he is going to be punished rightfully but he did just so much good for people that he will stay remembered is positive persona. hero for many.
Who did he con? Binance wasn't found to be a rug and don't think it will be. He let people move money around freely and didn't obey anti money laundering laws. So maybe his service benefited "bad guys" as deemed by the state.
So yes there is a difference between gambling away deposits and allowing someone to use your service without taking their name and social security number and reporting it to government authorities
yet they still support it all.
also, you dont want them to stick to some old tech. you want them to evolve and take the best from industry. imho, they are doing just that and they are very good at it.
i've tried to "escape" .net ecosystem few times already. reason always was curiosity about pther ecosystems / languages. Ruby, Python, JS, Rust.
i have returned every single time. from my point of view every other thing i've tried is underdeveloped toy compared to what .net ecosystem gives you. superb languages (c#, f#) toolset, compatibility guarantees.
i understand the rebelion point of view and a pay huge respect to those people pushing alternatives forward. thanks to them Microsoft was also able to adapt to latest fanciest standards.
oh boy, this looks like an alchemy to me. on one hand one cant deny success of llm's on another we are shifting the responsibiliteis to non-deterministic fuzzy duck-taped functions.
My impression is similar and that's why I asked the question.
Another thing that is not clear to me: Is there query directly fed into e.g. SBERT or should I ask an LLM to transform the query into something more suitable, like turning the question into a proposition?
Asked more abstractly: In a vector space like SBERT's, can I expect questions and answers about the same topic to lie near each other? Especially will the correct answers lie near their question?

This not how 99% of embedding models work(though you can train for specific tasks) but as it turns out such a thing is possible and is beneficial.
This kind of thing is going to seem so obvious in hindsight in six months once all the sota methods start converge upon similar improvements lol. It’s still so early, I keep telling myself.
I can vouch for it! I returned to C# for a tiny desktop GUI recently. I was blown away by how simple is the tooling to create a single monolithic binary. It's great for enterprise distribution. "No more installer."
I did not know about this service. I just used it for bunch of videos i have in my "to watch list" which is basically pile of shame of material i never get to watch for reasons like questionable useful information density or in complexity of the topic. It helped me to select those i really want to watch and i watched them. Imho this is godsend for creators. Unless you are just click-baiting and luring into watching something that could be summed up into 2 sentences just to go over you list of sponsors.
