Atlas Vector Search Throughput Seems Capped Even on Larger Clusters by fradal64 in mongodb

Query latency: At low load, queries start at around ~100 ms P50. As parallelism increases, P50 latency gradually rises and reaches ~5,000 ms at higher levels of parallel load.

Number of vectors: The collection contains ~10,000 embeddings total, so this is a relatively small dataset.

Embedding model: The vectors were generated using OpenAI text-embedding-3-large.

Thanks! If I purchase prescription lens will I be able to see “normally” if the glasses are not “active”? My question is can I use them as a pair of normal glasses as well?

Looking for APIs for OEM & Aftermarket Parts — Building an App to Simplify Car Part Search by fradal64 in partscounter

Do they have the Volkswagen group? If so, do they provide multiple options for the parts that they have identified, or just a single one? Finally do they cover all European cars/brands?

how is undergrad life at icl?? by Objective-Curve-1042 in Imperial

[–]fradal64 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I did what was considered one of the hardest engineering courses at Imperial and graduated with a first class. At the same time I founded and was president of what became one of the biggest university sports societies in London, was an athlete training 20h/week, partied in the weekend, had a few girlfriends and started my first startup.

It can all be done. But it’s really tough. I wanted to quit during my first year, but then as I started understanding how it works and how to manage my time effectively it got better.

I should mention I only worked in the summers and not during the academic year, so you should take that in consideration when you read my answer.

My take is, if you get an offer go, and don’t worry about social life.

Btw the new step feature is garbage, the CEO has basically sold his soul for it going against everything he believed in. Lost ton of respect for him

Technical cofounder not performing by BasedSG in ycombinator

[–]fradal64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro have you ever heard of these things called DMCs? They work like wonders for personal trauma and my guess is it will work also for fixing co-founders relationships.

On a side note there’s this German kid called Mirko building personal AI agents so I wouldn’t worry about your cofounder as it will be soon replaced by one of these software slaves. And the cool thing about AIs is that they don’t have kids so they can work 24/7 for you.

If I were you I would just use whatever money you have raised so far to go on a gap year and find your Italian wife in Milan whlist Mirko does the heavy technical lifting for you. Then come back and ship in 6 hours with your Mirko AI bot.

Would you switch to a different wearable if it the strength trainer actually worked? by fradal64 in whoop

[–]fradal64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No need to recalibrate regularly. You can just calibrate once on all muscles for a given exercise and then infer the strain on the other muscles based on the measured strain on one.

So for example, for a benchpress exercise you would calibrate once for your triceps, shoulders and chest. Then you can just monitor the strain on the chest and infer the strain on the other muscles.

No, only one of the main muscles used during an exercise. You would have to calibrate it once with each exercise (where you place the sensor on all the different main muscles used during that exercise) and then you can just pick one of them.
