👋 Welcome to The Exit Game. I cover the stories of amazing founders to demystify startup acquisitions for founders, investors and operators alike. Subscribe to keep updated with future posts Estimated reading time: 13 minutes It would be impressive if I told you a solo founder sold their first startup whilst running it as a one-man band. It would be even more impressive if I told you he worked on this part-time whilst going through medical school.
In the first part, we discussed the response of preachers and Christians alike to the killing of Deborah Samuel, a student of Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto. We saw how one video espoused justification for Christians to bear arms, quoting two main New Testament Scriptures. We shall now look at those Scripture verses in some detail.

They say that a man’s home is his castle but it would probably be more accurate to say that a man’s (or a woman’s) home is his museum. Most of us tend to accumulate artifacts related to the subjects that interest us. Movie fans often fill their walls with movie posters.

Recently semantic search has exploded. Everyone is chatting with their data, using the same basic recipe: Take a set of documents and split them into paragraphs. Convert each paragraph into a vector of embeddings that represent its coordinates in the semantic space. Given a question, embed it in the same space. Find a few relevant paragraphs via semantic similarity between the vectors. Tell GPT to answer the question using the information contained in them, with a prompt like “You are an expert on the hermeneutics of ancient Sumerian tablets.
