I have been working on AI products for some time, and there is always a RAG / search component to build.

With the plethora of tools out there by now, it's now pretty instinctive to set up with a basic stack.

However, I did see feedback from end users mentioning the search part didn't provide good results. And I also saw several engineering teams going from a standard stack to something way more complex.

Also, there always seems to be edge cases where hybrid search doesn't cut it. (Like asking "search for contracts that DO NOT mention a termination fee" for example).

I'm curious to understand what the community thinks about retrieval systems:

- is it still considered to be a hard problem? - are teams actively trying to solve it, if so how? - will we ever have a system that basically can find any information across any corpus even with minimal indications from users?

A web app that lets you yeet a cube with a natural language request rather than by pressing a button.

The code is available at https://github.com/rellfy/yeet-the-cube

The AI part is done as a plugin that defines the yeet function and is uploaded to asterai.io which hosts the AI agent. Messages are received in the front-end and decoded with protobuf. Once the yeet request is identified a function is called to yeet the cube with three.js.

So this example is serverless (hosted on vercel and asterai for the AI agent), meaning there's no need to manage any server code to implement AI-powered UX use cases such as this (very important) one.

A few years ago in 2021, I put together a guide to resources for learning computational complexity theory at the graduate level [0]. Think time and space complexity, hierarchy theorems, and circuit complexity.

For video lectures, for instance, I recommended Ryan O’Donnell undergraduate [1] and graduate classes [2] at CMU. To keep this up to date, I want to add more options for lecture notes and videos.

Have you worked through a new book or a recent set of lectures that were helpful?
