Embeddings are underrated (2024)

This article really rubbed me the wrong way.

> I could tell you exactly how I think we might advance the state of the art in technical writing with embeddings, but where’s the fun in that? You now know why they’re such an interesting and useful new tool in the technical writer toolbox… go connect the rest of the dots yourself!

I read the article because of the title, only to find the above.

You're not alone. I've gotten lots of feedback that the post buries the lede [1] and is ineffective because it doesn't provide more concrete examples. I will fix it eventually, I promise! See here for context: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43964584

[1] It's perhaps not even appropriate to say "buried the lede" because that implies the lede is dug back up at some point, whereas this post buries the lede and then forgets where the lede was buried!!
