   Circassian genocide was especially nasty, but ancient history (and somewhat inline with America's genocidal colonial conquests West). And not that it justifies the genocide, the Circassians were big slavers of Slavs (especially young g

   Fireworks.ai Firefunction is pretty good. Not GPT-level but it’s an open model.

   Brave API (Bing is good as well). Here's a little gist (Elixir). It's pretty rudimentary so far and needs refining, but works alright enough (result at bottom): https://gist.github.com/cpursley/b4af2ff3b56c912

   Funny enough, their prompts leaked: https://www.reddit.com/r/perplexity_ai/s/kn6i20kMLH And I’ve built a perplexity clone in about a day - it’s not that hard: search -> scrape results -> parse results —

   This is odd. One of the ways kids learn to read early is by starting off being expiated to fairytales and other fiction then later learning to read those same stories. That useless sets them up to enjoy fiction.

   Exactly. And kids should play with more than just the one age group.

    Or you know, instead of crab bucket mentality - let children develop instead of intentionally holding them back…

    First take at hybrid search with Postgres pg_vector based on this: https://gist.github.com/cpursley/dae0a0be442f27e6af79d6bfc2b...

    I'm actually doing something like that already, I'm mostly referring to the Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF) part of this to squeeze more out.

    Any tips on accomplishing this in Postgres with pg_vector?

    Woah, this actually did quite well on table data extraction. I wonder how this could be used for long documents. Maybe paired with some kind of hybrid rag approach.

    The golden visas were issued in relatively small numbers, I doubt they affect price much vs all the short term rentals like Airbnb combined with explosive popularity of Portugal.

    You’re getting downvoted but regulatory capture and cronyism (voting in laws that prohibit new entrants; for the greater good, of course) is a trick as old as democratic systems been have established, maybe older and perhaps not exclusive t
