𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernSep 29Today's minor GPT-4 experiment: the smallest 'unused' TLA, in terms of being Notable enough for an En WP entry, turns out to be... 'CQK'!
😲 I was sure that every three-letter acronym was used by now & it'd be a 'FLA'. But no.

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernSep 26(You obviously have to mark up the desired range in the <span>.
I don't usually do that when I create anchors to link to, which raises the question of how to highlight empty span/divs?
We're currently going to use our manicule '🖙' SVG even though it doesn't look that great.)

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernSep 25For the detailed textual commentary in gwern.net/suzanne-delage I've added per paragraph & sentence IDs, and we've revamped the anchor popups appearance/behavior, so there's a very nice way to refer back to the key lines in context: pic.twitter.com/lSCaWahVYl
𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernSep 8For context, I was thinking it'd be nice if a website semantic search could do boolean-equivalent searches, to keep things simple, and even let you do 'semantic boolean searches' over concepts etc. twitter.com/gwern/status/1…

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernSep 8(Search & GPT-4 didn't provide anything useful here: I thought 'multi-vector query' would be the right phrase, but couldn't immediately find anything discussing combinations more complex beyond 'averaging embeddings', which seems to be ML folklore for how to AND two embeddings.)

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernSep 8Q. does it make sense to try to turn vector DB searches into semantic booleans?
Given embeddings 'x' & 'y', d=`distance`:
AND(x,y) = avg(d x, d y) = d(avg(x,y))
OR(x,y) = max(d x, d y)
?(x,y) = min(d x, d y)
NOT(x,y) = d x − d y
XOR(x,y) = |d x − d y|
NOR = −OR
NAND = −AND
𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernSep 4(Careless of him? Definitely. While 'collapses' can be implemented in pure HTML/CSS, and 'transclusions' are in fact usually done server-side (we're unusual in it being client-side), he should have known 'popups' had to use JS somehow.
Nevertheless, this sort of thing happens.)

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernSep 4Now I understand why many websites do not just not try to make stuff work for JS-less users, but actively break the website with big modals etc if you have JS disabled. Definitely an unhappy valley there when it works just well enough they don't realize what they're missing.

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernSep 4Today a reader sent a famous designer gwern.net/design#backlink highlightingpopup/transclude/collapse. He replied it was interesting & he liked the site, but after 20m no idea about supposed 'popups' etc‽
He had JS disabled...
