80-100 degree C for 5-20 minutes. Adjust duration and intensity to each other. Beige fat and brown fat exist around our spinal cord and clavicals and are not just storage sites like white fat. They are generating heat in our body. Young children have a lot of them because they cannot shiver, so they need them to generate heat. Fewer and bigger... See more

In some applications, such as inline code suggestions, the best AI models are too expensive, so tools like Github Copilot use carefully tuned smaller models and various search heuristics to provide results. In other applications, even the largest models, like GPT-4, are too cheap!

LLMs

(1) The separation between storage and compute , as encouraged by data lake architectures (e.g. the implementation of P would look different in a traditional database like PostgreSQL, or a cloud warehouse like Snowflake). This architecture is the focus of the current system, and it is prevalent in most mid-to-large enterprises (its benefits that... See more

Data Processing

For any idea: what is the 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week version of achieving this. For example, free burrito if you try our app to test it and get feedback (with a sign). Just go where your users are (e.g. schools,…) Avoid planning, the simple immediate action is always better.

If you shiffer during cold showers, you can increase your metabolism. Regularity in your exercise routine and eating routine can make it possible to shift your circadian rhythm.

Description

PyNest is designed to help structure your APIs in an intuitive, easy to understand, and enjoyable way.

With PyNest, you can build scalable and maintainable APIs with ease. The framework supports dependency injection, type annotations, decorators, and code generation, making it easy to write clean and testable code.

This framework is not a... See more

wrappers do have their place too. A wrapper has the following benefits:

Create a more focused and guided experience for the user, instead of an open-ended chat.

Less trial and error for the user to figure out how to prompt to get a specific result.

Custom integrations make it easy to interface with third-party services, for example, displaying book

AI wrapper is a simple application that sits between the AI and the user. The wrapper fulfills a specific function to augment the AI’s ability, for example, browse online, summarize a PDF, send an email, etc.

RAG and LLMs

Text embeddings are a critical piece of many pipelines, from search, to RAG, to vector databases and more. Most embedding models are BERT/Transformer-based and typically have short context lengths (e.g., 512). That’s only about two pages of text, but documents can be very long – books, legal cases, TV screenplays, code repositories, etc can be tens... See more
