Word/token meanings are embedded in high dimensional space from different embedding models, but projected down to 3D, we can get a sense of how they are stored.

I used this to demonstrate a portion of the RAG process. (After chunking and embedding, and before relevant text are searched for.)
When I first was forced to read it in high school, I didn’t get it, didn’t understand it, didn’t have the emotional capacity or life experience to grasp it.
I re-read it as an adult after experiencing heartbreak, it really resonated. I could understand what Gatsby was going through and it became my #1 favorite book (even though I prefer sci-fi novels)
Fitzgerald’s prose in Gatsby is also almost perfect. The book is so short because he kept cutting it down and cutting it down, editing away, chipping and refining it. What’s fascinating too is nearly every sentence is beautiful prose. Most people write and it sounds like jumbled nuggets of stuff. Fitzgerald worked to get it to sound beautiful. It is an amazing work of art for me.
We need more doctors, physician assistants, nurse practitioners. Most are burning out and overworked. I have overheard a business conversation in which one person said, "the only way to solve this is to make doctors work more hours" ... I do not think that is the solution either.
Good things to watch out for, but also watch out for project or program running the show. For example, project sees it as a piece of work to churn, and program is trying to execute a multitude of projects.
Someone has got to care about the user and the business.
It can be much worse with a project manager who doesnt care about the user, doesnt care about the business and is just trying to complete tasks per sprint without any focus. It is even worse when the project or program manager has no technical background and doesnt understand what it takes to build something.
In each role, product, project, program, and all the other lead roles (technical), it takes people who really care.
Is it ok to meet with your advisor and discuss closing down the project?
My thoughts are:
1. It seemed like a high potential project
2. Over time you learned the return on investment may not be worth it
3. You need to focus on things that make forward direction in your PHD rather than expending any more time on this project.
4. This project can be shelved and others can take it on if interest returns in the future and/or you complete your PHD and have enough free time to return to it.
I think your advisor would appreciate your growth in this as a learning moment.
Neal Stephenson's Diamond Age, had to read it in literature class.
The main character gets an A.I. powered book that teaches them anything. pretty mind blowing for me, I imagine one day possibly something like that could exist.
