Indeed
C is Latin, the root of all modern languages, the whole universe used to speak it.
C++ is French, it’s Latin with fancy rules, used by the elite around the world & in specific circles.
JavaScript is English, everybody speaks it, most speakers speak it poorly and others don’t bother learning another language.
Java is German, it’s verbose, over-complicated and it made me cry several times. I won’t elaborate.
Python is Esperanto, it was created to be so easy everyone could speak it. Its speakers could benefit from a shower once in a while.
Rust is Russian, most speakers have an authoritarian left background and want to spread it worldwide.

Not Everyone Has an Inner Voice Streaming through Their Head
The extent to which people experience “inner speech” varies greatly, and the differences matter for performing certain cognitive tasks.

🚨BREAKING: The @Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI publishes its Artificial Intelligence Index Report 2024, one of the most authoritative sources for data and insights on AI. Below are its top 10 takeaways:
1. AI beats humans on some tasks, but not on all;
2. Industry continues to dominate frontier AI research;
3. Frontier models get way more expensive;
4. The United States leads China, the EU, and the U.K. as the leading source of top AI models;
5. Robust and standardized evaluations for LLM responsibility are seriously lacking;
6. Generative AI investment skyrockets;
7. The data is in: AI makes workers more productive and leads to higher quality work;
8. Scientific progress accelerates even further, thanks to AI;
9. The number of AI regulations in the United States sharply increases;
10. People across the globe are more cognizant of AI’s potential impact—and more nervous.

This is a mind-blowing announcement. Mistral AI, the French company that has been fighting tooth and nail to water down the #AIAct's foundation model rules, is partnering up with Microsoft. So much for 'give us a fighting chance against Big Tech'. A 🧵1/8

Advanced Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques address the limitations of naive RAG pipelines.
A recent survey on RAG classifies advanced RAG techniques into pre-retrieval, retrieval, and post-retrieval optimizations.
🔗 Paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2312.10997.pdf
My latest article gives an overview of advanced RAG techniques:
🦙 Pre-retrieval includes techniques like sliding windows, enhancing data granularity, adding metadata, or optimizing index structures, such as sentence window retrieval.
🦙 Retrieval includes optimizing the embedding models (e.g., fine-tuning) or advanced retrieval techniques like hybrid search
🦙 Post-retrieval includes reranking or prompt compression.
We also implement a naive RAG pipeline using @llama_index and then enhance it to an advanced RAG pipeline using the following:
• Sentence window retrieval (as a pre-retrieval optimization)
• Hybrid search (as a retrieval optimization)
• Re-ranking (as a post-retrieval optimization)

🏃Step-back prompting
A new prompting technique from Google Deepmind, can be used to improve RAG results
🦜🔗Now in LangChain!
💬"STEP-BACK PROMPTING is motivated by the observation that many tasks contain a lot of details, and are hard for LLMs to retrieve relevant facts to tackle the task"
Algorithm:
❓Generate a step back question based on the users original question
🌲Do retrieval for both the original question and the step back question
📃Generate an answer based on both sets of retrieved documents
