(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 be... See more

Twitter: network effects and code product differentiation creates lasting defensibility.

When you cool neurons they shut down.

Beta alanine delays the build up of acid → before exercise.

Central pattern generators: control reflexive actions that are well trained. Intention: duration, path, outcome to deliberately rewire the nervous system. Top-down control causes the release of neuropenephrine, which causes you to feel agitated. Self-control and learning therefore feels agitating.

Zephyr is a series of language models that are trained to act as helpful assistants. Zephyr-7B-α is the first model in the series, and is a fine-tuned version of mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1 that was trained on on a mix of publicly available, synthetic datasets using Direct Preference Optimization (DPO). We found that removing the in-built alignment o... See more
