Programmable platform for data in motion

An open-source data streaming platform with in-line computation capabilities. Apply your custom programs to aggregate, correlate, and transform data records in real-time as they move over the network.

Model description

Nous Hermes 2 Mixtral 8x7B DPO is the new flagship Nous Research model trained over the Mixtral 8x7B MoE LLM.

The model was trained on over 1,000,000 entries of primarily GPT-4 generated data, as well as other high quality data from open datasets across the AI landscape, achieving state of the art performance on a variety of tasks.... See more

ETL

The part of the system I'm most proud of, and on which I spent the most effort, is the ETL process.

We had a series of shell scripts for each data source we ingested (there were many), which would pull the data and put it in an s3 bucket.

Then, early in the morning, a cron job would spin up an EC2 instance, which would pull in the latest ETL code... See more

Just thinking about food, sex or dopamine increases the amount as much as the action itself. Once you reach that thing the amount of dopamine goes up even further.

Bombesin: Stress liberates bombesin, which reduces eating.

The stimulating hormone often comes from the pituitary, which especially triggers the release of stimulating thyroid. Both of these trigger the thyroid to tigger T3 and T4.

A thread pool is a collection of pre-initialized threads that can be used to execute tasks. Instead of starting a new thread for each task (which can be resource-intensive), a thread from this pool is reused to perform the task. This approach is beneficial for handling multiple operations in parallel, especially when these operations are blocking... See more

ReadySet is a transparent database cache for Postgres & MySQL that gives you the performance and scalability of an in-memory key-value store without requiring that you rewrite your app or manually handle cache invalidation. ReadySet sits between your application and database and turns even the most complex SQL reads into lightning-fast lookups.... See more

Here are example ways to increase the success rate of these custom agents:

Provide a more focused, use-case specific system prompt to kick things off. Since you know what kinds of goals the agent supports, you can improve the odds of coming up with the right set of tasks initially. In fact, there’s nothing wrong with actually defining the set of... See more
