Alle, die mit unserem „System“ unzufrieden sind, sollten sich diese Rede (8 Min) anhören. Wir können nur produktiv miteinander streiten, wenn wir uns in den Grundsätzen einig bleiben, die #Habeck hier skizziert. Die Notwendigkeit, Prioritäten zu setzen, bestand auch ohne BVerfG.

'Diese Republik ist der beste Staat, den Deutschland je hatte. Wir müssen für sie einstehen. Seien wir solidarisch, als Demokratinnen und Demokraten und in diesem Sinne patriotisch. In dieser Woche und in den nächsten, in dieser Zeit.' – Bundesminister #Habeck im Video.

When playing around with an OpenAI assistant today uploading a 15MB (350k lines) concatenated asciidoc docs file, I ran into this 2M tokens error message. Not sure if anyone else has seen this yet. Reducing it to 5MB made it work. Probably need to upload multiple files.

I've been hearing more and more about #DuckDB so I'm very excited that Manning Publications have a new MEAP, DuckDB In Action. I wish Mark Needham , Michael Hunger 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 @[email protected] & Michael Simons every success as they work hard to finish their book. I've got my copy, get yours: lnkd.in/eRsQXtc6

Retrieval is still so early and so hard - but so important

most builders want to experiment with different strategies to find what works best for them - this template allows for easy switching between **4** different methods
