Fell while #Cycling in #Vancouver today. I was coming from Richmond off the Knight Street bridge. I never use the pedestrian path, but today I stupidly decided to use just the very end of it, by the exit ramp to Marine. The entrance to the path is just before the point where there is an idiotically placed lamp, smack in the middle of the path. I noticed some fucking scavenger's garbage bags full of junk, lying there just after that pole. In the moment, I decided to swerve right around the pole and do an immediate hard left to avoid the bags of cruft. My attention was on the garbage bags and I didn't see that the black patch before them was a mud puddle several inches thick (after the rain we had yeterday). As I entered the counter-steered S maneuver, I hit that patch and flipped on the side. My left #knee is hurting more and more this evening. If I just lift my foot, or straighten my leg (lock the knee) or try to get up from a squat ... ouch! The joint is definitely irritated; hope I didn't tear anything.

A study that followed 146 patients with torn knee cartilage, half of whom underwent arthroscopic surgery and half of whom underwent sham surgery, found no benefit to the arthroscopic surgery. More of those who had surgery ultimately had a knee replacement.

The idea of magnesium spray for my knee seemed so ridiculous that I wasn't going to try.

Well, my knee is very much better.

I can't assemble any rational explanation.

I paid £1.70, so hardly snake oil profits.

Partial meniscectomy, one of the world’s most common knee surgeries does not help and may even be harmful.

This was a randomised placebo-surgery controlled trial with 10-year follow-up. Several randomised studies have already demonstrated that partial meniscectomy has not improved patients’ symptoms or function in the short (1–2 years) or medium (5 years) term.

Did just over 2km and the first 500m felt worse than the last 500m. A little icing now, and see how it feels for another try tomorrow.

Как помочь вашему RAG адаптироваться? Принимайте DRAG with KNEE! Часть 1

Все мы проходили через это: скармливаешь RAG‑системе сложный PDF на 50 страниц, а она в ответ либо галлюцинирует, либо вываливает на LLM простыню нерелевантного текста, съедая ваш бюджет на токены быстрее, чем вы успеваете сказать «GPT-4o». Проблема в том, что классический подход со статическим top_k — это костыль, который либо не додает контекста, либо вызывает у модели информационное «ожирение» (заполняет контекст нерелевантным мусором). Нашему RAG нужно помочь адаптироваться к безжалостной среде разрозненных документов! Я потратил выходные на то, чтобы решить эту проблему фундаментально. В итоге на свет появился DRAG with KNEE (Dynamic RAG with Knee‑point pruning) — алгоритм, который не просто ищет «похожее», а выстраивает иерархию документов и безжалостно отсекает лишнее с помощью геометрического анализа «колена». В этой статье я покажу, как с помощью Qdrant, Python и капли математики сделать ваш RAG адаптивным. Читать далее?

Yay - a $17 patellar strap is giving me some relief while that banged-up knee heals.

Glad it's working and making me a bit more mobile. Hope wearing it for a few days will be enough.
