[08:19:00] <gmodena>	 dcausse I'm catching up with what I missed in the last two weeks. Can I maybe ping you later this morning for some pointers on getting started with search data & modelling?
[08:20:08] <dcausse>	 gmodena: sure! feel free to schedule meetings and/or ask anything here :)
[08:22:29] <gmodena>	 thx :)

[10:41:59] <gmodena>	 ack
[10:42:46] <gmodena>	 today I'm mostly in reading mode - notebooks and wiki. My goal would be get hands on with the dataset and start reproducing some of the existing analysis.

[13:01:24] <dcausse>	 meet is behaving...
[13:40:17] <dcausse>	 gmodena: updated some broken links on https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Search/MLR_Pipeline
[13:40:25] <gehel>	 dcausse: thanks!
[13:40:34] <gmodena>	  dcausse thank you!
[15:32:58] <Trey314159>	 There was a nice comment on my last blog post back in December: https://techblog.wikimedia.org/2024/07/18/how-many-languages-does-wikimedia-search-support/#comment-44843
[15:33:03] <Trey314159>	 The best bit: "Wikimedia’s efforts truly reflect a commitment to inclusivity and accessibility for global users. Bravo to the search platform team!"
[15:43:31] <MichaelG_WMF>	 Hey hey, in Growth team, we noticed that in our performance metrics, the time to render the suggested edits module on the server got _a lot_ faster after the last deploy year: https://grafana.wikimedia.org/d/vGq7hbnMz/special-homepage-and-suggested-edits?orgId=1&from=now-30d&to=now&viewPanel=10
[15:43:39] <MichaelG_WMF>	 I'm trying to understand why.
[15:44:32] <MichaelG_WMF>	 I have a few candidates for that on our end, but I'm wondering if any changes from your side got deployed then that might also be responsible for that improvement?
[16:01:39] <dcausse>	 Trey314159: nice!
[16:59:17] <cdanis>	 Trey314159: my brother (a linguist) loved your blog post and is attempting to nerdsnipe you with https://scholarspace.manoa.hawaii.edu/server/api/core/bitstreams/6f608290-7a4b-4925-a3fd-2cb5550a3fef/content this linguistics paper about the difficulty of defining what a language is
[17:03:25] <dcausse>	 MichaelG_WMF: not that I'm aware of, if you mean the improvement I see from your graph on dec 20 I don't see a similar improvement on search latencies so I'd guess it's not related to something happening in search
[17:04:22] <MichaelG_WMF>	 dcausse: Good to know. Thanks for checking on your end! 🙏
[17:04:24] <Trey314159>	 cdanis: nice! That's an interesting looking paper. I read the abstract and conclusion and I see it includes the semi-weasely "linguistic variety", which is also what I use when I want to avoid the entire question
[17:05:47] <cdanis>	 😂
