Study Material: Real Code Example

Embeddings and search concepts example
// Day 271: Embeddings and search concepts
const http = require('http');

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' });
  res.end(JSON.stringify({ day: '271', topic: 'Embeddings and search concepts', status: 'learning' }));
});

server.listen(3000, () => console.log('API running on http://localhost:3000'));
