Creating In-Video Search

Creating In-Video Search

In-video search is ability to search for a specific content within a video. This can include searching for particular words spoken, objects shown or description of a scene. With the current advancement in transformers the process of in-video search have become more accurate and fairly simple. Although most of the transformers doesn’t have a joint embedding space for multiple modalities but there are few models like Meta’s ImageBind that a joint embedding space between text, image, audio, depth, thermal and IMU, or OpenAI’s CLiP model have joint embedding space between text and image. We can use these models to create…

Open AI with Vercel: Solution to Gateway Timeouts

Open AI with Vercel: Solution to Gateway Timeouts

Vercel and OpenAI: Not a Perfect Match. Vercel is great for starting small projects quickly and for free. However, using AI, like OpenAI, with Vercel can cause issues that only show up when you deploy. Fixing these errors can take up a lot of our precioussss time. Here’s a quick checklist before we start: Are enviromental variables set? Is database access allowed? Does CORS allow origin? The Solution To avoid Vercel's Gateway Timeout problems, split the OpenAI API call into two endpoints and one async function: Endpoint /request/initiate Function processRequestInBackground Endpoint /request/status/:hash Starting a Request The endpoint /request/initiate begins a…

Mastering the Strategy Pattern: A Real-World Example in E-commerce Shipping with Java

Mastering the Strategy Pattern: A Real-World Example in E-commerce Shipping with Java

Introduction:In the previous article, we explored the importance of design patterns in software development and how they provide proven solutions to common problems. We discussed how choosing the right pattern is like selecting the appropriate tool from your toolbox. In this article, we'll dive deeper into the Strategy pattern and provide a practical, real-world example of its implementation using Java. What is the Strategy Pattern?The Strategy pattern is a behavioral design pattern that allows you to define a family of algorithms, encapsulate each one, and make them interchangeable. It lets the algorithm vary independently from clients that use it. The…

How Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) Work

How Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) Work

Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG, pronounced 'rag') works by fetching selective data from a custom knowledge base and integrating it with the output of a language model to provide accurate and up-to-date responses.RAG can be defined as a ChatGPT-like interface that can use your pdfs, documents or databases to answer questions from you. You can use it as a study assistant to understand documents by asking questions about those documents. In this article, we discuss the benefits of using a RAG system and explain its key components. We also detailhow RAG works to enhance the capabilities of large language models by…

Connecting to IRC with Halloy

Connecting to IRC with Halloy

Halloy is a new IRC client written in Rust that is fast with good theming. Here is how I set up a connection to an irc channel with Halloy and here is how to config Halloy for Rizon. After downloading Halloy, I referred to the documentation. Halloy uses a config.toml file, easily edited in code editor like VSCode. By default this is next to the Halloy installation, for me, in AppData/Roaming on Windows. Halloy has command bar on the bottom left of the application window, and opening that gives options including "Configuration: Open config directory". Basic connection to Rizon In…
