Search / Retrieval / Reranking discussion: what are you seeing?

This keeps coming up in conversation so I figured I'd start a thread.

One thing I keep noticing is that people underestimate reranking until they actually try to run this stuff for more than one afternoon.

Curious whether that lines up with what other people are seeing.

Interesting, I hadn't tried that. I ended up in about the same place using LM Studio. Worth rechecking your defaults though, because one bad assumption can make the rest of the thread look confusing.
