I see a Notion example in Langchain, I assume you guys did something similar. Do you know if there is maximum size of documents that it supports?

First time I hear about it, but just checked it out - seems pretty cool, but you still need to feed some model into it right? Many examples seem to use OpenAI. I see a bunch of apps using LLMs popping out like mushrooms in a forest, but how

Would be cool to know some technical details, like are you fine-tuning GPT-3 on Open AI or built something yourself on top of an open source pretrained model?

In USSR my grandfather's parents were stripped of everything they had and sent to Siberia with nothing but the cloth they were wearing. Skip a few years, my grandfather was the youngest doctor of science (in Russia that's next lev

Most air conditioners I encountered (as a person from a cold country) had this option. The Samsung one I have works from -15C (which is really not that cold, but still). Is this the same technology just for even colder tempreratures?

I am lost. Are heat pumps the same thing as split air conditioners that can heat air?

My wife has just got better from a case of pneumonia that developed rapidly within several hours. If not for antibiotics... We are back to medieval times if antibiotics stop working.

I want to love Mozilla and Firefox as it promotes diversity and standards for the web, but god do I hate Mozilla's marketing. It's completely outrage driven and feeds on fearmongering: "google bad, we good, give us money&quot

Try deploying NextJS yourself over multiple instances, you are soon going to learn that cache NextJS provides isn't shared across them via something like Redis (I think it's mostly shared on Vercel, but I don't know how they

Next being owned by Vercel has a perverse incentice to push for features that are good for Vercel, like fast build times and very specific caching strategies, not for the features that developers actually want.

They were released by Levada, it's now been some time that they are being influenced by Kremlin. None of my friends / relatives / acquintances supports this war (only my GF's mother). That is a piss-poor statistic, but t

It's ridiculously easy to influence people through propaganda. Like you, for example, or majority of "west" for that matter, has completely believed that "70%" number that was released by Russian government.

I find it puzzling why people are split by their skin color rather than their country of origin. There are only marginal differences between a white and a black person born in US, while myself, being a white male born in Russia, cultural ex

The official reason was not changing government, it's "denazification and demilitarization". As for "not a real country", there's an opinion that I think has some truth to it, that Ukraine, Russia as well as ot
