We won’t stop until they’re all back - never again is now!
International Holocaust Remembrance Day: Munich football team held the sign "Never again - it's now"
RIP Kay Bernstein #Bernstein #Hertha #Werder
Wichtiger als alles Sportliche: Der #SCF gedenkt gemeinsam mit @werderbremen der Opfer des Nationalsozialismus 🖤 Nie wieder ist JETZT!

This is wild. Complete sci-fi, potentially coming to life.
If they pull this off, we’ll have AI models that can induce happiness, relieve stress, change perspectives, etc.
Truly world-changing if it works.

Mouse deer like chevrotains and Java mouse deer are considered living fossils because they are thought to be the most primitive ruminants. Whales may have evolved from water-loving creatures that looked like small deer
Ihr Lieben, bitte denkt an meine Kinder, falls das nächste Video mal meinen Lynchmord zeigt. Die Antisemiten von #b0401 haben sich auf mich eingeschossen.
Daher: Ihr seht mich verletzt/tot im Netz? Bitte Info an eure Pfarrer. (Meine Angehörigen sind Pfarrer, Rettungsweg kurz.)🙏

one of the best performing startups in my portfolio includes a metrics section in every update that is essentially the one below (#'s redacted). it's surprising how few do, and it's revealing which metrics are omitted by some companies.
so important for metrics to serve truth, not vanity.
I am thinking about the best logical thread to follow for App Marketing course content.
In my opinion, the best approach is to explain from scratch how to take an app from $0 MRR to $1000 MRR.
The course will be divided into two parts:
The basic idea is described in this image.
In 1890, Henri Poincaré proved the non-existence of the uniform first integral of the three-body problem and the sensitive dependence to initial conditions of its trajectories.
Yet, stable solutions to it do exist and these are some of them.
RAG Or Fine-Tuning?
There is a lot of confusion about when to apply which method.
RAG makes sense when you have a custom knowledge base and want a standard ChatGPT-like interface on top of it. RAG has multiple components to it and can be tricky to get right. However, it's definitely easier to implement than fine-tuning.
Fine-tuning makes sense when you have several supervised examples of request responses and are looking for a particular format for your responses. That is if you want the model to adapt to a particular type of response. For example, you can fine-tune a model to be good at a specific type of SQL code generation.
Sometimes, but not often, it makes sense to do both. Using something like Abacus AI makes applying either method on open-source and closed-source LLMs super simple.
Of course, we are particularly partial to open-source, especially if it can do the job!
🚨BREAKING🚨
I have just released the full report on politicians trading in 2023.
Like every year since 2020, US politicians beat the market.
And many in Congress made unusually timed trades resulting in huge gains.
Here are the top performers of 2023.
