A quotation from Ambrose Bierce

FOREIGNER, n. A villain regarded with various and varying degrees of toleration, according to his conformity to the eternal standard of our conceit and the shifting one of our interests.

Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914?) American writer and journalist
“Foreigner,” “Devil’s Dictionary” column, San Francisco Wasp (1884-09-13)

A quotation (probably) from Carlyle

I don’t like to talk much with people who always agree with me. It is amusing to coquette with an echo for a little while, but one soon tires of it.

Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881) Scottish essayist and historian
(Attributed)

A quotation from Bertrand Russell

Differences between nations, so long as they do not lead to hostility, are by no means to be deplored. Living for a time in a foreign country makes us aware of merits in which our own country is deficient, and this is true whichever country our own may be. The same thing holds of differences between different regions within one country, and of the differing types produced by different professions. Uniformity of character and uniformity of culture are to be regretted. Biological evolution has depended upon inborn differences between individuals or tribes, and cultural evolution depends upon acquired differences. When these disappear, there is no longer any material for selection. In the modern world, there is a real danger of too great similarity between one region and another in cultural respects. One of the best ways of minimising this evil is an increase in the autonomy of different groups.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Lecture (1949-01-23), “Control and Initiative: Their Respective Spheres,” Reith Lecture, “Authority and the Individual” No. 5, BBC Radio

Here is a typical Russian milblogger channel. Note ”owning the libs” type naming.

Are you still surprised MAGA supports Russia?

I think they actually look up to Russia, honestly, and would love nothing more than the USA to become more like Russia.

Russian brashness and embracing being the bully excites them. Maybe even makes them jealous.

I’m excited to share my newest blog post, "Don't sure cosine similarity carelessly"

https://p.migdal.pl/blog/2025/01/dont-use-cosine-similarity

We often rely on cosine similarity to compare embeddings—it's like “duct tape” for vector comparisons. But just like duct tape, it can quietly mask deeper problems. Sometimes, embeddings pick up a “wrong kind” of similarity, matching questions to questions instead of questions to answers or getting thrown off by formatting quirks and typos rather than the text's real meaning.

In my post, I discuss what can go wrong with off-the-shelf cosine similarity and share practical alternatives. If you’ve ever wondered why your retrieval system returns oddly matched items or how to refine your embeddings for more meaningful results, this is for you!
`
I want to thank Max Salamonowicz and Grzegorz Kossakowski for their feedback after my flash talk at the Warsaw AI Breakfast, Rafał Małanij for inviting me to give a talk at the Python Summit, and for all the curious questions at the conference, and LinkedIn.
