AI agents are really hard, but as a judge at this weekendโ€™s @agihouse_org hackathon, I saw some crazy projects work end to end! Here are the top 3 projects combining GPT4 with web retrieval (via @ExaAILabs ):

@KaranJanthe @ExaAILabs @aiDotEngineer You get a lot of your recall back by repeatedly oversampling and using less compressed embeddings to rerank. For example, if a user asks for 10 results, you'd first get 10,000 results using 256 binary, then get the top 100 out of those 10,000 using 1024 binary and finally, get

An iteration loop of 30s-5min is probably the worst spot to be in. Annoying to wait and too little time to switch context and do something else

@leeerob You don't manage memory in Go, it has a Garbage Collector. IMO Go is a better language for this use case since it's a lot easier to write and work with. You do lose some performance but I don't think it's significant compared to the extra time you'll spend writing code with Rust.

There should be more articles published on experiments that failed. It doesn't have to be a long write-up, even a short mention that they tried something and it failed would be helpful.

If the virus originated in Country A and Country B restricts travel from Country A but nowhere else, that's assuming all other countries are free of the virus, which is highly unlikely in reality.

I don't understand countries selectively restricting travel. Doing so would mean you're 100% sure that the strain/virus is only in those countries and nowhere else which is highly unlikely.
