Genuine question, what would you write instead of "proceeded to"? To me, as a non native English speaker, it seems reasonable to use this expression, and it would not even stick out to me tbh

You can usually use "then" or "went".

>I proceeded to open the fridge

>I went to open the fridge

or

>I proceeded to flush the toilet

>I then flushed the toilet

There's nothing wrong with "proceeded", it's just one of those things that's overused by bad writers.

"Went" is a powerful word. With suitable helpers it can replace "proceeded", as you demonstrated, "attended" ("I went to a good school") as well as "became" ("On hearing this, Joe went all silent") or "said" ("So then she went 'Dude!' and we all laughed") and hundreds of other words.

Only a handful of words ("got", "y'know" and "fuck") rival its versatility.

> I proceeded to do the work.

> I did the work.

> I worked.

Each one of these has slightly different readings in my eyes.

Unlike the last variant, the first two imply there was some quantity of work and it was all completed.

I don't really see the difference between the two though.

Well, option 1 implies that there was something else going on before the event described in the sentence. Option 2 is neutral about that.

Compare:

1. I did the work for that last week.

2. I proceeded to do the work for that last week.

Sentence 2 strikes me as questionably grammatical. It needs to be proceeding from something in the context.

Not different enough to make it worth using anything but the simplest one.

I'm of the notion that my certainty is not sufficiently concrete to discover myself in the realm of agreement

Perhaps yet another American cultural artifact. One that - if I were to guess - originated from the Calvinist disdain for ostentiousness.

Yes yes, anybody who prefers plain, easily parsed wording is American.

Wording? Don't you mean diction?

A -> B =/= B -> A.

I didn't claim that this was exclusively American. Though I'd have to admit that one doesn't have to be American to adopt Ameracanisms: rhotic Rs, Netflix color-grading, and copy-cat political movements are other American cultural artifacts showing up across the world due to America's dominance of the zeitgeist.

Rap verses in pop songs wasn't a spontaneously phenomenon across the globe, the origins are tracably American - but that doesn't make all rappers American.

how will you measure or predict energy levels? where is the data for this coming from?

When I was in middle school my english skills were terrible, I barely passed my english classes. At some point I was interested to build my own PC, so I did research and watched tons of videos of other people doing it, those were mainly in english and helped me a lot to learn the language. Just like you I did not use a translator, it was not necessary to understand the key messages of the videos. After some time my english skills improved substantially and in school I never had problems with english again

I feel like this is the next big thing for AI, having the ability to interact with any sort of structured dataset out of the box. Very cool project!

I'll suspect it'll be more like the next little thing. Most of don't interact that much with structured data, so the applications will be very specific.

However, the algo-trading crowd, will likely be very interested in this. They deal with structured data all day and it would surprise me if most of them don't already have things like this working in their networks. They seem to be very secretive, though, so we're not gonna hear much.

We all interact with structured data models constantly, like literally thousands of times each day, just indirectly.

Every single credit card purchase gets classified by a model as fraud or ok. When you go to Netflix and see recommended movies, it's all predictions on structured data. Every single post in every social media feed is there because a model predicted you'd like it.

Realistically, it might be more like 10s of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of predictions that we engage with in a day.

If reality matches the benchmarks for this model, it can kick off a whole new category of models that can potentially be bigger than LLMs

Structured data = relational data

This has more applications than you might first think.

Does AI for relational data work the same way as token predictions does for LLM AI?

Cool idea, however when I have to create an account for a service just to test it out, I will naturally decline to do so. Maybe you could upload a sample document for people to play with?

No its not. Its a good video, just bad place for it. I watched it and got to understand your product. You show the important part in the time frame ~6:00-7:00. Make that part faster and as a gif without sound and the main message is conveyed

Thanks, that will be time-saving.

maybe a bit off topic but as a fellow developer who is working on a project, how did you set up that website? I was thinking of something just like that for my project!

Your question is perfectly fine. I used magic UI with shadcn

Not particularly tech related but these books made me change my attitude towards life: - mans search for meaning by victor frankl, book about holocaust written by a psychiatrist. Quite well known, I guess I do not need to say too much. - A Long Way Gone, written by an ex child soldier, quite fascinating to me what these people had to endure. - "SOS" Emotions-Lexikon (apparently only in german) I got this for christmas and its quite a cool book to help deal with your emotions.
