Pavel Durov's feedback:

🎙 A week ago, Tucker Carlson published an interview with me (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxFQvOyTolg) about what happened in France. It was covered by media in many countries — except, interestingly, in France. None of the French newspapers mentioned the interview. 🤐

📰 However, the French media hasn’t lost interest in Telegram. Last week, Le Monde, the country’s main newspaper, invited its readers (https://www.lemonde.fr/pixels/appel-temoignages/2025/06/12/vous-regardez-le-sport-en-particulier-le-football-sur-telegram-ou-par-une-iptv-racontez-nous_6612558_4408996.html) to report whether they watch pirated football matches on Telegram. This attempt to crowdsource a negative story about us appears to be part of a broader strategy. 😐

😑 In just the 7 weeks following my arrest in Paris, Le Monde published 40 negative articles about Telegram. In violation of journalistic ethics, they did not ask us for a comment in 37 of these 40 articles (https://telegra.ph/Telegram-Coverage-by-Le-Monde-06-16) and always ignored the factual corrections we sent them. 🤦‍♂️

📣 Such a media environment is alarming. This is why platforms like Telegram are so important — we enable people to access all points of view and decide for themselves. We believe people are smart and can be trusted with the unfiltered truth. ✉️

Thank you Anthropic for putting it all together in amazing article.

This is amazing. SO many RAG systems out there overlook this really obvious chunking strategy.

In my opinion this is theoretically so much better than GraphRAG or RAPTOR strategies.

Couple of downsides I see: - still does not let you uncover hidden cross-document meanings, where clusterization might help; - what if document is really really big - for chunk-specific context generation you would need to pass raw big docs in that prompt and with all that amount of chunks the processing time and cost is going to be unbearable. Yes, prompt caching, but still... Might need to sacrifice chunk context for pre-processing time as you're going to be treating "book chapters" as individual docs now rather than providing whole "book" for chunk context generation.

Improvements: - what if on top of re-ranking we'll also add LLM filtering stage? AFAIK re-ranking models are still kind of primitive to understand the relevance of chunks to user query. But now that we have additional context LLMs should do a pretty good job at evaluating which chunks that came out of re-ranking are meaningful to user query; - prompt LLM to generate chunk context in batches (e.g. of 10).

Couple of good critique points and alternatives to this article can be found on Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Rag/comments/1fl2wma/introducing_contextual_retrieval_by_anthropic/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Looks like this is only applicable to full-text search, also known as sparse.

This needs a better description.

In my case I use Bitwarden and by default it's browser extension is opened as browser embedded window (not pop-up) - thus passwords remain in clipboard history.

Given that password history is not encrypted - that's a bad thing for sure.

Why they failed to eliminate that building on a tape? Why this Saudi man hasn't cleaned up recording knowing about what's coming?

They sold patents to Canadian company DitchLabs and they re-branded the product as DitchPen. Looks like they're trying to make it a medical product.

Only my doubts, but it's such a big shame on Apple for killing the app from AppStore. I bet that's what stopped them from going the original path.

Stopping maintenance of API though was unethical decision - Android app could live on shoulders of DIY folks.

This is the WebDAV interface. It can only be accessed by WebDAV clients such as the Nextcloud desktop sync client

cool!

Great Great Plugin!!!

Thinking of integrating it into best open source task management tool called Vikunja

In Ukraine we have a special term for governmental lobbyists who advertise US & Europe in all of it's glory and the willing to fight standing on our side. They're called "sorosers".

Soros runs the biggest bank in Europe called International Monetary Fund (IMF). Ukraine's debt to IMF has already surpassed yearly GDP meaning Soros rules the whole country. Of course we're not giving back whole GDP every year, Instead we agree to special contractual agreements of IMF deciding who's going to be part of our inspection commisions, parliament institutions, etc. Our journalism is so much corrupted that it's eye opening to see how many of our previously respected news organizations are extermely positive about name "Soros" and all of related aspects of this whole dependency story. Soros is big hearted investor, visioner, father of European stability, blah-blah.

IMHO it's Soros in cooperation with BackRock and it's military complex interest who fueled the revolution in 2014 so that Ukraine is now fully oriented in direction of NATO. This was by design treated as a treat to Russia national security and thus they began the war. IMF credits increased since then. US military complex lobbies giving back old assets to Ukraine and accepting governmental orders for modernized weapons establishment that they massively profit off.

The republicans are clearly so biased and funded by oil corporations that they can say any nonsense against wind turbines. What were the mentioned cons of turbines? - whales - cmon, it's silly. Stop building them near oceans and the argument vanishes; - birds - in the U.S., it’s estimated that buildings kill between 365 million to 1 billion birds annually, compared to 140,000 to 500,000 due to wind turbines​ - you want me to calculate percents here or it's obvious that Trump's campain is ExxonMobil's campain?; - nuclear is more efficient - well, take a look at Ukraine example where all enemy does is prepares a nice plan for years to take hostage the nuclear station and now you cannot eliminate them while the most developed missle stuff is located there with all that top tier air defense systems - they take your whole region hostile like it's nothing. - no way to recycle turbines - that's some clearly weak argument given that they know for a fact that even nuclear waste can be hidden so no one never finds it; - they're ugly - skin cancer caused by ozon holes that's what ugly

Germany has 30% of energy coming from wind turbines and plans on increasing it more and more for energy security. And hell yeah those wind turbine landscapes look futuristic, And it's far nicer to breathe in those areas too.

I was shocked by the fact that ID is not mandatory in US. This is so horrible. And mailing your vote - OMG, hilarious...

In Ukraine we have special people going with closed buckets from home to home if you have something going on with health, but no mailing!!

It's so sad that there are no annotations on the most popular TED Talk

No annotations here?? Man, I expected more from US citizens.

ну так а что уже не 100 человек? я понимаю Вики еще та поганка, но там есть четкая перепись населения за 2001 год.

I don't see how evaluation is implemented. Is there a reason why annotations don't have likes/dislikes so that I can observe the most meaningful thoughts first? This seems very critical if it's really meant to be worldwide platform.

Joining you guys!!

First Comment for 9 years, really?

Разве 100 человек населения ето не правда? Актуальная информация - росияне уничтожили город. При етом там во втором параграфе есть правдивая перепись населения на 2001 год.

Testing hypothes.is. Let me know if you see this

I can see how these are used in future wars to eliminate groups of fleet all at once. And the scary thing is this is not going to be considered land bombing - and so no response will follow and no-one will really care about some fleet destroyed in the middle of Pacific Ocean without direct consequences to at least 1% of world's population. Tactical nuclear weapons are very scary...

love you guys

first comment, really?

first comment on the most viewed YT video, really?

first comment for 4 years, really?

I don't see any reason why Islamic State would spend time terrorizing Russia if they're end boss is US - these new friendships with horrific Taliban are clearly an excuse to unite against US in Middle East.

Can someone explain what the heck LMS app is?? I'm using browser extension. Is this it?

Just Testing Hypothesis, let me know if you see me.
