2 feels quite arbitrary and honestly not that much of an improvement. Any plans to up that limit?

akgfab | 9 months ago | on: Ask HN: How are you cleaning and transforming data before imports/uploads?

I’ve had great success with radicli, weasel, and pydantic— writing scripts and defining inputs/outputs in a yaml is the sweet spot. Learned ml from explosion and their level of abstraction is just-right, though am curious how they are weathering the LLM storm.

spaCy’s weasel package allows you to put a bunch of commands meant to be run in sequence in one project.yml file, pull assets, etc—- I find it to be the right level of abstraction and I’m pretty sure it’s not trying to become a cloud hosted do everything tool: https://github.com/explosion/weasel

Nice work! This doesn’t hold for all school districts. Some, like New Orleans post Katrina, became all-charter districts such that each school essentially operated as its own district. Other districts serve only elementary school students (as opposed to “Unified” districts). Just heads up that there are edge cases.

You can think of a vector database with n vectors as a network whose adjacency matrix is nxn and each edge is represented by whatever similarity metric between nodes you choose to use. So you can have strongly connected edges and weakly connected edges.
