Show HN: Launching a new home-grown embedding LLM for RAGhttps://vectara.com/how-boomerang-takes-retrieval-augmented-generation-to-the-next-level-via-grounded-generation/Hi HN!Vectara is a "batteries included" retrieval augmented generation platform. You can upload your rich text documents like PDFs, HTML pages, word docs, etc, or semi-structured JSON and Vectara handles the text and metadata extraction, segmentation, vector embedding, and vector storage, and keyword storage. You can ask a question or perform a search in the UI or via our APIs and Vectara will automatically handle the vectorization, structured metadata filtering, vector+keyword retrieval, hybrid blending, and generative summarization of the results. We're focusing on building and operationalizing the complex infrastructure for vector storage, hybrid retrieval, and generative summarization so you can use fairly high-level APIs and focus on building your own applications.We know that retrieval accuracy is incredibly important for RAG: garbage in, garbage out. We've seen a lot of projects not spend enough time on really getting the retrieval model right and wasting a lot of time/money witSep 28, 2023 3:06 PM

Chick-Fil-A LAN Partyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37476576Just saw the post about LAN parties from a few days ago and thought this story might be unique enough to share.I worked at Chick-Fil-A for a year or so in high school. One of the ones in a free standing building in the middle of a much larger shopping center parking lot- bordering the interstate. A group of 6-7 of us employees, INCLUDING the General Manager, were big gamers.At the time, Call of Duty releases were all the rage. The night of the Modern Warfare 2 release, we all closed up at 10pm, invited a few of our friends, and brought in our monitors (mostly 40inch TVs) and Xboxes. We set them all up on the Chick-Fil-A tables and booths and made several batches of Chick-fil-A nuggets and fries. We played 6v6 from about 11:00pm - 4:00am.I remember thinking how ridiculous it must have looked from the interstate to see a Chick-Fil-A lit up with 12 big screens inside through those translucent shades at 2:00 in the morning on a weekday.That is one of the greater memories of my childhood.

Tell HN: I learnt some new things while working on my projecthttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36454949Recently I worked on a simulation analysis which taught me several things:- To get the most out of Python, you really need efficient libraries like Numpy. I started off my project in pure Python and some Pandas. But soon I realized it was painfully slow and looked for better solutions.- Polars looked like a good Pandas alternative, but some googling revealed that it could be slower than Numpy. Although it's easy to work with dataframes (e.g., you can select a column by calling its name), I converted all my code to use Numpy and suddenly saw huge speed boost. But that wasn't the end of it. I was now in a rabbit hole...- Vectorization helped a lot with speed as well. I learnt that using the right tool (in this case, Numpy) guides you to do better and vectorize operations, whereas Pandas didn't enforce that technique on me. Despite the initial hurdle, I realized that vectorization made my code much more readable and easier to follow.- I then parallelized my code to utilize all 10 cores ofJun 24, 2023 2:41 AM
