I was in Canada, and I was also quite stressed with some keynote presentations I had to give, planning my move back to the US, and applying for my O-1 visa.

I figured I'd sort it all out by the time I moved. However, I may have been a little too relaxed about the situation and stressed out about other stuff

thankfully i just DM'd the mercury team and got a temp approval to deposit the 180k

holy shit. They never gave me an answer but the last thing the KYC team did (outside of executive branch) was just confirm a 25k invoice =_=

check out the other rag stuff https://jxnl.co/writing/category/rag/

all based on consulting calls and advisory work (i sell the implementation so sorry i don't post one click deploys)

its ok, im on the front page, the market has decided the worth
jxnlco··on Systematically Improving Your RAG
thanks! this was based on a 30 minute 'crash course on what things they need to look out fo'

I'd recommend taking a look at lancedb as they support text, vectors, and sql.

high relevancy scores are not percentages, they only make sense in 'ordering' but 0.7 does not mean relevant.

but .9 vs .7 means 'maybe more relevant.

I'll try to add more details!

nothing, all i really say is 'add monitoring, do topic clustering' which is how i did 'search' and 'recommendation' systems

1) are there filters we need to build 2) do we have inventory

jxnlco··on Systematically Improving Your RAG
how can i make it better?

this was a quick post that i wrote up after a 30 minute call with someone, mostly notes to take in preparation for a bigger talk im giving.

good liars deceive others great liars deceive themselves,

my goal was to call out that i do believe these are true, but i must acknowlege they are lies

jxnlco··on Advice to young people, the lies I tell myself
which is definitly the case for me, but at this point it just comes from the fact that ok, i just know i have the capacity to work hard so i dont the confidence will come
