@jobergum At least your phone is fully charged 🔋

March is my favorite month. This March 1, a new chapter begins. There has never been a better time to build.

@jobergum @xeraa Sharing is caring 🫶🏻

@xeraa I see that you guys read our blogs 😅

looks like some multi vectors are cooking in #elasticsearch — you know, for col* github.com/elastic/elasti…

After a long wait, our longitudinal long COVID study is finally published in @NatureComms: nature.com/articles/s4146…. We find a skeletal muscle alterations in patients with #longcovid, which worsen with exercise. 1/n

Calling it now: The $86B OpenAI tender will someday be seen as the WeWork moment of AI. 👉GPT-5 will either be significantly delayed or not meet expectations. 👉Companies will struggle to put GPT-4 and 5 into production (see below) 👉Competition will increase, margins will be thin 👉The profits won’t justify the valuation, esp after MSFT’s hefty cut is taken out.

Interested in multilingual vector search with #Elasticsearch? New blog post drop featuring @Microsoft's multilingual E5 embedding model. Have a read, run the notebook, und suche in deiner Sprache! 😉 search-labs.elastic.co/search-labs/mu…

I'll go on the record with perhaps another contrarian opinion: Lucene HNSW is the future and (pure) vector DB vendors are in trouble. Why?

The Problem With LangChain

LangChain in production? linkedin.com/feed/update/ur… #elasticsearch #langchain #LLMs

Search for meaning, not just words. Introducing the Elastic Learned Sparse Encoder, an AI model for high-relevance semantic search across domains. This model expands beyond the query terms, delivering superior search relevance. Learn more here: go.es.io/3q2RohQ

🔢 Embeddings from @elastic Deploy your embedding models on Elastic and access them through LangChain 💪 Read more from Elastic on the integration: elastic.co/blog/privacy-f…

ME/CFS is a terrible illness that removes people from their own lives. For #WorldMEDay, please consider watching this short video on it. More and more people you know will be getting ME/CFS from COVID, and it means so much to be understood. youtube.com/watch?v=RC9Tjg… 1/

Just how good are commercially available embedding APIs for vector search? An effort led by @ehsk0 evaluated a few of them - @OpenAI @CohereAI @Aleph__Alpha - on BEIR and MIRACL... Check out the results! arxiv.org/abs/2305.06300 - forthcoming #ACL2023 industry track paper

Hey everyone in #Berlin - next Wednesday I'm going to be here. Maybe you'll join me? More details here: visitberlin.de/de/event/burne…

@softwaredoug Told you so 😉

Ask and ye shall receive :) (or whine on social media, and it turns out someones already thinking about the problem) lnkd.in/gZ7tZtMf

@srchvrs @softwaredoug @jobergum Just ask ChatGPT. Surely that solves all our problems.

@softwaredoug @jobergum One can keep a search engine in 📒 too.

It’s telling how the traditional search systems (Solr, Elastic, Lucene) are missing out on the ChatGPT/LLM craze: * they have vector search capabilities, but TBH, people are often shocked when I point that out, but they don’t even show up on ANN benchmar…lnkd.in/eUFG8m9m

Today is #LongCovidAwarenessDay and it's time to start telling my story. I've had #LongCOVID for 1 year and 3 months. I'm getting better with time, but it's been a long road. I'll be posting my story over the next few days, so subscribe and follow along: joshdevins.substack.com

2.68% of Bavaria is suffering from #LongCovid this year, up from 1.15% in 2021.

@organichemusic Would this kind of Herx reaction release enough viral debris to cause an antigen or PCR test to be positive? In other words, given symptoms and a positive antigen test, is it from a reinfection or viral debris released? (My situation 5 days after starting NK.)

SUPPLEMENTS WITH ANTIVIRAL ACTIVITY🧵 Some are finding benefit from fibrinolytic supplements like nattokinase which directly break down clots & biofilms. Once those clots degrade, however, pro-inflammatory molecules & viral debris may be released into circulation. ⬇️
