Power is out here in Mint Hill, NC.

Erik Reasonable Rates Darling

Josh Darnell

I'm hoping that someone will.

Erik Reasonable Rates Darling

you should rob a bank or something

@J.D. what are you using to create vectors from your text? just the open ai api?

Why does one Brent have so many more gold badges than the other?
Weird system glitch

makes sense

how much fun can one have sending long binary to the cloud

you don't know until you try

Sean Gallardy

@JoshDarnell Power is back on over here, for now. This is why I want to run my own power generation.

Zikato

hamster wheel powered

Josh Darnell

@SeanGallardy We're in an area with TONS of big, old trees. A lot of folks in our neighborhood have small generators, because we get a lot of outages.

I should really get one. I just don't think about it until the power goes out. Then forget again once it's back on.

Paul White

17:21

Buy a storm-powered generator

Perfect solution

Josh Darnell

Genius!

Sean Gallardy

17:35

@JoshDarnell Sounds like typical pseudo-government (utilities), don't actually fix problems just expect people to do their own stuff and still be forced to pay you for it.

@JoshDarnell 🤣😂 sounds about right. Lots of people say the same thing here. I have camp stoves and stuff, I don't really need electricity. Sure it wasn't the easiest to fall asleep at 85% humidity on a 85 degree night, but I didn't die.

Zikato

Not dying is one of my proudest achievements

Sean Gallardy

hear hear!

@SeanGallardy just sleep in a bath. at least you can control the temperature of that water.

Sean Gallardy

18:30

It's Florida, the cold water is hot too

Josh Darnell

@SeanGallardy Yeah, I have complained to them a few times about the frequency of the outages. They have sent folks out to trim trees away from the lines several times. But it seems like there should be more they can do. But what do I know, you know?

Erik Reasonable Rates Darling

you know how often your power goes out

just bury the power lines yourself

that's what sean would do

Sean Gallardy

Exactly

Or build a small nuclear reactor to power my home, you know, dealers choice

Before you say anything, Uranium is absolutely legal to own

Even in the EU!

Where they make you declare a single chicken... you know... for your safety.

Erik Reasonable Rates Darling

maybe they're looking for chicken dates

Sean Gallardy

Never tried the combination but sounds tasty

Erik Reasonable Rates Darling

18:45

"sean's chicken husbandry and egg's"

Zikato

@SeanGallardy No U

Sean Gallardy

Yes U

@ErikReasonableRatesDarling Is that enough apostrophes though?

Erik Reasonable Rates Darling

for the moment

Erik Reasonable Rates Darling

I hope everyone has a great weekend full of electricity

@ErikReasonableRatesDarling Someone's interest is piqued... Yea, OpenAI has an Embeddings API specifically. They created a wrapper library for C# making it super easy to consume. Currently playing around with the text-embedding-3-large and text-embedding-3-small models.

Also I realized after the fact that when you mentioned chunking yesterday, you meant more so in the context of how we're breaking up our data to be vectorized. We're doing that by each row in the Excel sheet which is essentially a few sentences together, maybe a small paragraph at most at any given time.

I also had to "chunk" the data into batches, as their API endpoint has a limitation in how many chunks to be vectorized you can input at a time. So I pass in around 1,000 rows / chunks of data to be vectorized at a time, essentially the whole spreadsheet per API call. But yes, each individual row is becoming its own vector.

I have set an MSSQL datetime column to have a default value of getdate()... but when I try to insert a row without specifying a value for that column, it throws the error about column mismatches. Am I crazy, or should I not be able to do this? Table structure and query examples (RecID is an auto-incrementing identity column)

J.D.

22:43

@TylerH What is the exact error message?

Erik Reasonable Rates Darling

@J.D. well I need to do that and I’m trying to figure out how to get the vectors from the text chunk and return them to sql server
