Our Goals

We made it lightweight and kept the efficiency in mind:

• Self-contained
  
  We ship a single dependency-free binary that runs on all Linux distributions


• Fast to deploy, safe to operate
  
  We are sysadmins, we know the value of operator-friendly software


• Deploy everywhere on every machine
  
  We do not have a dedicated backbone, and neither do you,
  
  so

The increase of epinephrine after the learning triggers the neuroplasticity. It primes the hippocampus to encode the prior learned content. The optimal strategy would be a 90 minute bout of learning, trigger epinephrine, bout of NSDR.

All of the effort spent deliberating on edge cases and long tails stems from the fact that many junior devs are not actually thinking hard enough about what the experiment should be, and what the metrics should look like.

The goal of building out these probabilistic software systems is not a milestone or a feature. Instead, what we're looking for... See more

Important Aspects of Instruction Data

Longpre et al. (2023) and Iyer et al. (2022) ablate several important aspects of instruction data, which we highlight in the following.

Mixing few-shot settings. Training with mixed zero-shot and few-shot prompts significantly improves performance in both settings.

Task diversity. Large models benefit from... See more

Weight and endurance training below 60 to 75 minutes promote growth hormone release, higher than that cortisol levels go high enough to inhibit estrogen and testosterone pathways. Warm up well to increase the body temperature and cool down quickly after working out. Growth hormone during exercise spikes for woman in the first 30 minutes and for men... See more

We can't share the exact formula for our search ranking, but here are the few parameters we consider:

• Exact match (rank #1)


• Frequency of matching lexemes using ts_rank


• Similarity score using similarity


• Type of record


• Popularity of the search result


• Similarity between the result’s alias and query


• Inverse of the result’s string length

Zerox OCR

A dead simple way of OCR-ing a document for AI ingestion. Documents are meant to be a visual representation after all. With weird layouts, tables, charts, etc. The vision models just make sense!

The general logic:

• Pass in a PDF (URL or file buffer)


• Turn the PDF into a series of images


• Pass each image to GPT and ask nicely for Markdown


• Aggregat
