Not sure why the downvotes - very useful context and phrased correctly as a question.

Does anybody know a good forum for discussing AI agent design? I have a bunch of questions, but too specific for the general LLM application communities.

Neat! Do you happen to have the analogous similarity queries with a default embedding? Curious to see them side by side. (I know I can reproduce myself and I appreciate all the code you posted there - thought I'd ask first!)

I didn't follow this part: > EdgeDB is essentially a new data silo whose type system cannot be used to serialize data external to the system. I think this implies that serializing external data to zson is easier than writing an INSE

I recently went through the airflow docs for the first time - agree. But this comment thread has much more helpful than any of the docs!

That's not the 80/20 rule. There must be empirical estimates of that number.

The problem is they all magically arrived at an exorbitant price that seems to reflect monopoly pricing. Also fees have standardized recently.

Yes there is rampant ESA abuse, but note the airlines all charge $175 each way for a pet. Isn’t that obvious collusion? It’s $350 to take my small dog to LA for the weekend when the round trip ticket for a human is $100. She is great on pla

If the OP sends this thread to the CEO and asks for severance - or he'll update the post to identify the CEO+company - is that extortion? Certainly not endorsing, just curious.

It's really hard to approach fitness as yet another obligation, unless you happen to have a laid back lifestyle. My advice: find some kind of exercise that you enjoy, don't stress about whether it's the optimal program. Use t

Don't change anything, but look for silver linings. That drive is hard to find and makes you sound like an ideal person to work with - feel free to get in touch if you're interested.

Naive question: how does the legal system determine appropriate damages for this kind of infringement? Can ImageRights just name a number, or is there some kind of precedent? Using a $500 photo intuitively seems worse than using a $5 photo.

This assumes all violators are doing it willfully. I imagine most restaurant owners that make a Squarespace site in an afternoon have no idea you can't just copy something from Google Images.
