7 must-know strategies to scale your database

Indexing:

Check the query patterns of your application and create the right indexes.

Materialized Views:

Pre-compute complex query results and store them for faster access.

Denormalization:

Reduce complex joins to improve query performance.

Neuromodulators bias which circuits are active and which are not.

The idea is: learn to prompt chatbots very well = get way better outputs.

Right now, intricate prompting is helpful for some tasks. But over time, we think it’s an overrated skill. Here’s why:

1. As AI models improve, they require less “engineered” prompts. DALL-E 3 is a great example of this (you get top-tier images with < 10-word prompts).

In this case, it will still... See more

The exact metrics we use depend on the application — our main goal is to understand how users use the feature and quickly make improvements to better meet their needs. For internal applications, this might mean measuring efficiency and sentiment. For consumer-facing applications, we similarly focus on measures of user satisfaction - direct user... See more

Adala is an Autonomous DA ta (Labeling) Agent framework.

Adala offers a robust framework for implementing agents specialized in data processing, with an emphasis on diverse data labeling tasks. These agents are autonomous, meaning they can independently acquire one or more skills through iterative learning. This learning process is influenced by... See more

The trip channels in the skin have receptors that monitor changes in temperature. The dorsal Horn neurons in the spinal cord relays the signals to the POA in the hypothalamus. These send out signals to heat up or to cause behavior to heat up. Our main way to dump heat is sweating.

To build a fast browser extension, it's important to think beyond just writing efficient code. Here are some tips for extension developers

1. Optimize images and assets: Large images can slow down your extension. Compress images and use formats like WebP. Implement lazy loading to load images only when needed.


2. Speed up server requests: Slow server

Taste system has a pre-determined identity and valence. But meaning is learned. Olfactory system is only learned and assigned meaning through experience. By association you can change the meaning.

AutoGen's design offers multiple advantages: a) it gracefully navigates the strong but imperfect generation and reasoning abilities of these LLMs; b) it leverages human understanding and intelligence, while providing valuable automation through conversations between agents; c) it simplifies and unifies the implementation of complex LLM workflows as...
