Adam Wiggins did not write this page.

Every claim below was made in this piece, quoted word for word and numbered in the order the piece makes them, so you can read it there rather than take our word for it. The sentence above each quote is our reading of the claim, not their wording. Each quote was checked against a stored copy of the page at build time; where the two differ, the quote is the fact.

  1. It's a good example of how user preferences are much more subtle than broad heuristics like "all receipts go to FYI."
  2. Predictions were poor until I got to over 250 samples in the training set.
  3. Local / open text embedding models work fine on consumer hardware.
