sentences:
- The Invisible Man Griffin is the surname of the story's protagonist. His name
is not mentioned until about halfway through the book. Consumed with his greed
for power and fame, he is the model of science without humanity. A gifted young
student, he becomes interested in the science of refraction. During his experiments,
he accidentally discovers chemicals (combined with an unspecified kind of radiation)
that would make living tissue invisible. Obsessed with his discovery, he tries
the experiment on himself and becomes invisible. However, he does not know how
to reverse the process, and he slowly discovers that the advantages of being invisible
do not outweigh the disadvantages and the problems he faces. Thus begins his downfall
as he takes the road to crime for his survival, revealing in the process his lack
of conscience, inhumanity and complete selfishness. He progresses from obsession
to fanaticism, to insanity, and finally to his fateful end.

- Jordan Belfort Jordan Ross Belfort (/ˈbɛlfɔːrt/; born July 9, 1962) is an American
author, motivational speaker, and former stockbroker. In 1999, he pleaded guilty
to fraud and related crimes in connection with stock-market manipulation and running
a boiler room as part of a penny-stock scam. Belfort spent 22 months in prison
as part of an agreement under which he gave testimony against numerous partners
and subordinates in his fraud scheme.[5] He published the memoir The Wolf of Wall
Street, which was adapted into a film and released in 2013.

- Agora Early in Greek history (18th century–8th century BC), free-born citizens
would gather in the agora for military duty or to hear statements of the ruling
king or council. Later, the Agora also served as a marketplace where merchants
kept stalls or shops to sell their goods amid colonnades. This attracted artisans
who built workshops nearby.[2]

- .org The domain name org is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) of the Domain Name
System (DNS) used in the Internet. The name is truncated from organization. It
was one of the original domains established in 1985, and has been operated by
the Public Interest Registry since 2003. The domain was originally intended for
non-profit entities, but this restriction was not enforced and has been removed.
The domain is commonly used by schools, open-source projects, and communities,
but also by some for-profit entities. The number of registered domains in org
has increased from fewer than one million in the 1990s, to ten million as of June
2013.

# SentenceTransformer based on Qwen/Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B
This is a [sentence-transformers](https://www.SBERT.net) model finetuned from [Qwen/Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B) on the [nq](https://huggingface.co/datasets/sentence-transformers/natural-questions) dataset. It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 1024-dimensional dense vector space and can be used for semantic textual similarity, semantic search, paraphrase mining, text classification, clustering, and more.
> [!NOTE]
> This is a first experiment attempting to distil the powerful [Qwen/Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B) model from 28 layers down to some lower layer count, in an attempt to speed up inference with minimal performance reductions.
>
> To be specific, this early model falls from ~0.55 NDCG@10 average across NanoMSMARCO, NanoNFCorpus, and NanoNQ with the full 28 layers, to 0.5155 NDCG@10 on that selection with just 18 layers.
> Early tests indicate that using only 18 layers results in a 1.51x speedup compared to the full model.
>
> This model was distilled using only 200k texts from one domain, reaching superior performance should be possible, especially with stronger distillation techniques like [MarginMSE](https://sbert.net/docs/package_reference/sentence_transformer/losses.html#marginmseloss).

| Vertebra The vertebral arch is formed by pedicles and laminae. Two pedicles extend from the sides of the vertebral body to join the body to the arch. The pedicles are short thick processes that extend, one from each side, posteriorly, from the junctions of the posteriolateral surfaces of the centrum, on its upper surface. From each pedicle a broad plate, a lamina, projects backwards and medialwards to join and complete the vertebral arch and form the posterior border of the vertebral foramen, which completes the triangle of the vertebral foramen.[6] The upper surfaces of the laminae are rough to give attachment to the ligamenta flava. These ligaments connect the laminae of adjacent vertebra along the length of the spine from the level of the second cervical vertebra. Above and below the pedicles are shallow depressions called vertebral notches (superior and inferior). When the vertebrae articulate the notches align with those on adjacent vertebrae and these form the openings of the int... | [0.062255859375, -0.005706787109375, -0.009765625, 0.035400390625, -0.0125732421875, ...] |
