The result is that songs about the land, animals and plants contain the sounds of those things directly too: the call of the raven, the cry of the wolf, the wind in the forest, or the running of the sea. When sung in this way, the joik is an expression of the land itself: the world singing through the singer.

Today, I'm announcing Alexandria, an open-source initiative to embed the internet.
To start, we're releasing the embeddings for every research paper on the Arxiv. That's over 4m items, 600m tokens, and 3.07 billion vector dimensions.
We're not stopping here. https://t.co/zHG5EYit36 https://t.co/b2288fbnJZ
