I recommend finding a good teacher who specialises in Flamenco if that's where your interest lies. They can help you navigate the various rhythms and techniques which are quite particular to the style. In-personal ideally, though I'm sure you can find someone who can teach via video call too.

Good luck!
If you like walking try and walk around the centre as much as possible (without using phone mapping ideally), you'll realise it's quite small really and get to know the place. Take some time to experience the history, art galleries, theatre etc I wish I'd done more of that now I live in the provinces.
Take time to see different parts of the UK, although I loved living in London for 2 years and visit a lot I way prefer other parts of the UK and now a lot of people live remotely it's practical to live in the midlands for example and go there for work once a week maybe.
Take regular trips to Europe by plane, train or car. It's cheap and doable for a weekend. There is a lot of variety between countries/cities which I think you'd really appreciate.
'you'll realise it's quite small really and get to know the place.'
I've been here for ~10 years and feel like I'm familiar with a fairly narrow slice of it (mostly north/north east a little bit). A good mental model imo is to see it as a collection of smaller towns, each with distinct urban centres, that have grown into each other. This makes it endlessly interesting to me and I feel like I'm unlocking new parts of it all the time.

Isn’t „founding engineer” actually starting the company? If not, what does the „founding” mean here?
A "Founding Engineer" is usually someone who's too late to the game to be a founder but so early that they'll contribute virtually as much value as the founders over time but only take home ~1.5% equity and a sub-market salary.

I came to Bach only recently, I bought a classical guitar a couple of years ago and just over the last eight months or so I've been really getting into baroque music.
I don't know why I didn't appreciate it before, I guess I just never gave Bach a chance, but it's some of the most amazing stuff I've ever heard. The counterpoint that makes it feel like the music is spiralling around you is just otherworldly.

Thanks. At the mercy of Chrome's translation it says 'Cat' everywhere.

We used 1M vectors of 1536 dimensions (OpenAI). The index size was ~6GB.
Thanks - how much RAM is required to serve from the index in that case?
