I’m always suspicious with low-signal articles written about LLM based systems, as I suspect that the crowd involved are very trigger happy in using an LLM to write human facing text.

Maybe not what’s happening in this case, but it’s what springs to mind.

The author is legitimately knowledgeable about LLM/RAG systems and develops open-source tooling around it.

But yes, this isn't a good HN submission without detail.

how can i make it better?

this was a quick post that i wrote up after a 30 minute call with someone, mostly notes to take in preparation for a bigger talk im giving.

Bullet points in general aren't good for HN discussion even if it's on an interesting/complex topic. Examples are good.

A talk + written summary/transcript of the talk when it's made would be much better.

I'll try to add more details!

Then you shouldn't have posted it on HN until there was more meat. Notes from a 30min call are OK for personal consumption, but not mass sharing as it is not useful in general and devalues personal brand. My 2 cents..

fwiw, I found this high value. I'm currently in the space of "conceptually, what do I need to think about in this space", and this was a great set of notes for me.

Awesome if the author wants to flesh it out further, but sometimes raw knowledge is more than enough.

check out the other rag stuff https://jxnl.co/writing/category/rag/

all based on consulting calls and advisory work (i sell the implementation so sorry i don't post one click deploys)

Oooh, nice - thank you for sharing those! (At least from my POV, that's already a boatload of value you're giving away for free!)

This comment seems a bit harsh.

My 2 cents.

[jxnlco]

its ok, im on the front page, the market has decided the worth

The invisible hand of collective interest!
