I absolutely love this, great work! For those that might find it useful, I created a Python notebook that shows how to extend this to perform Hybrid Search (Vector + BM25 based Full Text search) https://github.com/liamca/sqlite-hybrid-search

This is my first non-enterprise related website and would love to get your thoughts and feedback. I especially want to thank Scott Barlow who wrote a great blog post titled "100 awesome business ideas for 2014"(http://www.scottsbarlow.com/100-awesome-business-ideas-for-2...) that inspired me to create this.

I hope this doesn't sound like preaching.

In almost every discussion about charities and non-profits the main discussion seems to revolve around the money we donate and how efficiently charities use these donations. One thing that I find people forgetting is how valuable their time can be to non-profits and how that often is way more valuable than donations. Each one of you on HN certainly has a skill that would be valuable to charities (especially small ones) whether that be technical help or in taking your skills in finding customers for your startup and applying those skills to fundraising for the non-profits. You would be surprised at how limited many non-profits are in these areas and how even an hour here and there each month can make a huge impact.

I realize many of you just don't have the time and I am not suggesting this is for everyone. However, if you do, try sending a quick email to the director of a non-profit you find interesting and you might be surprised at how happy they are to hear from you.

Just wanted to let you know that in Internet Explorer 9 much of your page text is cut off. It seems to be positioned to the left of the browser so much of the text (mostly the code) is cut out.

One other trick that someone gave me once when I was wandering all over the stage was to put on the ground something (maybe a dry erase marker) that I could put a foot on. For some reason, that really helps to keep you in one place and you don't even really notice the object while you are presenting.

I agree with you. I usually try to avoid coffee (or at least limit myself to decaf) which seems to help a lot. Unfortunatley, the downside is I usually get a headache which probably says a lot about my addition to caffeine.
