  • Too much giggling

    Keep it informative. I don’t know what you’re laughing at. I don’t understand your inside jokes but it’s uninteresting. use a better mic. Edit your Podcasts and redo it if it sounds crappy like this one did.

REFRAG with Xiaoqiang Lin - Weaviate Podcast #130!
Q: What future directions for AI excite you the most?

REFRAG with Xiaoqiang Lin - Weaviate Podcast #130!
Q: What do you think about the limits of this compression?
The initial idea is to use one single embedding for the whole chunk... if you exceed that 32 compression rate, you would have a major performance degradation.
