Why do we need to train the model to solve for retrieval within the org, so we have to keep training it whenever new dataset is introduced , or am I missing something here ?

Only thing which bothers me about over-the-ear headphones is the hot climate. How are they in the hot climate of Singapore, where it's very humid?
All the best , I always wanted to build something like this for myself.
I've been consuming protein bars that has Maltitol, in the ingredients its mentioned as : INS 965(i) . I am not sure how this can impact in the long run , wish there was an easier way to find out

I am not sure about how other Whatsapp MCP servers build , but I like the design here : Go server to integrate with Whatsapp , scan the QR etc which acts like a bridge and lightsql to store some data APP MCP server : To interact with the data , app and LLM

All the best , let me check this out

Pardon my ignorance , how is it different from MCP servers and having a supervisor agent selecting and executing the right MCP tool

Assuming that AI adoption is more prevalent in the technical domain, could this be one of the reasons why it is leaning towards computer and technical usage?
Re:Robust autonomy emerges from self-play on Friday February 07, 2025 @05:48PM (#42978400)
Maybe not directly related , I find genertic algorithms and other optimisation algorithms such as Ant Colony Optimisation algorithms intersecting with this approach of self-play and leading to robust autonomy.

True , for the matter if jsut like a privacy feature , we can turn off certain features which are not required and it can significantly maintain the battery. Yes, we do have Iphone battery power save mode but I am just curious how efficiently it can optimise battery power saving
The automation of manual tasks and the ability to provide context to engineers are much-needed features in fast-paced development environment
Even if Vo2 is inaccurate on Apple watch , relative increase in your Vo2 is a positive metric. Kudos to you.
Aws Kinesis and other services dont even support IPV6 to start with , how are they speeding up IPV6 adoption
Re:Ask HN: Any Hardware Startups Here? on Wednesday July 05, 2023 @11:44PM (#36610890)
At 56secure, we have embarked on the journey of constructing AI-powered cameras entirely from the ground up. Our prior experiences with third-party CCTV cameras enlightened us to the possibilities of significantly enhancing security measures. By leveraging AI technology at the edge and integrating it with on-the-ground agents, we are committed to offering users a proactive security solution that surpasses existing standards. https://www.56secure.com
Congratulations , and I am sure this is just a beginning . What I find even more interesting is "According to ISRO the configuration of RLV-TD is similar to that of an aircraft and combines the complexity of both launch vehicles and aircraft.". Are there any challenges in going ahead with aircraft like landing which is so much different from Space-X landing of reusable rockets
Re:A startup is deploying armed bodyguards to NYC on Monday February 06, 2023 @10:11AM (#34678415)
www.56secure.com A very similar service has existed in India for the past two years
Building 56Secure, a safety network for residents. We believe security should be accessible to all.

The access, implementation and costs of getting security and safety are broken and inefficient. Security involves having standalone security guards and CCTV's that work independently. 56 platform leverages an interconnected network of guards and AI smart cameras to deliver an efficient safety experience to our customers. We’re doing this primarily by developing location services, machine learning and hardware running deep learning models.

Impact: Many residents use the SoS feature in case of an emergency. Apart from giving proactive security, we have successfully averted safety-critical situations such as public nuisance, tracing out missing people in the neighbourhood (the majority of them being dementia patients, pet rescues etc. )

Yes it is true, and this is just one small example which managed to get some news . Cases drag for years and years , there are hearings etc. Unless something gets in the news or fast tracked , legal battles seems never ending in most of the cases.
Me and my friends often debate as most of the cases follow certain pattern, it should be easier to categories the majority of the cases and if not fully but partially automate the process.

Most of the paper work(judiciary / non judiciary) involves similar template , SSH/SSA , agreements etc. It need not be this complex. Most of the manual work involved in the process should be automated

Depends on the product. I found my early adopters within my close network of friends and colleagues and in my neighbourhood. Dont hesitate to reach out and keep in touch , find them wherever you can. One good way to reach out which almost always worked in my case was taking some time out for discussion on your idea and then gently asking them if they can use it and give you some feedback.

Re:Ask HN: How did you get started in tech and/or Linux? on Sunday October 04, 2020 @11:55AM (#24679913)
It was 2005 and I was in high school. I used to play lot of video games on PC (windows os) and my elder brother was really stressed about it as I was not focussing enough on my education and instead wasting time while playing video games. So one day he decided to remove windows and installed linux instead .
Re:I tried starting a manufacturing unit in India on Monday August 10, 2020 @11:38AM (#24110434)
I totally understand setting up manufacturing unit on agricultural land in India is a pain , also you should see it coming as you are using "agricultural" land for manufacturing. Also there is a dedicated industrial zone setup in each states and it would have been easier to do industrial setup there. But I totally get the point, its a cobweb of permissions and N.O.C , not even including under the table settlements , not sure if that was the case here.
Its present and its hurtful to see how even to this day bonded labour is sad reality in rural areas even after caste discrimination is illegal. It runs deep in the society to the extent votes during elections are given on the basis of castes/religions and candidates are appointed by parties on the basis of castes and religions depending on the geographic distribution . If political parties use such tactics to win the election I find this hard to believe that there is some progress / situation will improve in near future.
