This whole writeup is basically the verbatim prompt recipe for anyone to just whip it up themselves. Blocking the final result is no longer a real block, when all it requires is a vague prompt to replicate it. We've entered a strange t

Of course you can, but it's still a really great collection of good practices that lead you to a better place than if you didn't to do any of it.

I apologize for write "just" FTS. I know there is a lot of work involved and your article summed it up pretty damn well, in a way that makes it approachable for someone new to the topic. I will keep a note of this article for next

Very little of this is RAG but rather just FTS with clever reformulation and re-ranking. RAG is about providing an grounded response, given the actual data in the corpus. Great article and content, nonetheless!!

My take is that they love apps for the simple reason they show as easily clickable buttons to enter. Most dread having to type a Web address for something they regularly do. Few know that they can create an "app-icon" from any Web

I had a new colleague on the team, who I had to on-board. I gave him a few simple tasks, just to get him into the whole setup. He literally copy/pasted my task description into Claude and asked it to complete the task. To begin with, I

SQL, OLAP, Primary use case is fast aggregations on append only data, like usage analytics. It's fast, it's........ really fast!! But you need to get comfortable with their extended SQL dialect that forces you to think a little di

This seems like the kind of things you can do before you get kids and have real responsibilities. Then you need to get back to reality. Sounds fun though and I would have liked to experience it.

Exactly. It's just a natural maturity-curve that every new piece of tech inevitably goes through. Tech on the maturity curve: ICE cars: settled EV cars: rising PC's: settled Phones: settled Smart TV's: slowly rising still Wea

Great read, although a shame that it didn't go any further than adding the write cache SSD solution, which must have been many years ago. I was hoping for a little more recent info on the EBS architecture.

Did Douglas Adams travel in time.... this is scarily accurate!!! My BMW keeps turning off the volume if I wave at anything in the direction of the touchscreen. There is a little infrared camera near the roof that can sense hand-gestures and

It's inevitable. We are in a normalization phase right now. Soon, kids will just shrug at stuff like that, because they will all know it's likely fake and therefore not care much about it. However, I feel really bad for those who

Same. I even got my mom an electric bicycle as a present, just to lower the entry to physical exercise, but it just collected dust in the corner, despite endless promises to start using it. She passed away suddenly 3 years ago. I'm sur

It's particularly funny because their example docs for .NET outputs "B4aajs", which to any Swedish l33t speaking individual, would read "Bajs", which means "shit"

To my knowledge, you cannot mix embeddings from different models. Each dimension has a different meaning for each model.

I was in an online fashion market place company that wanted to test 60-minute delivery in the same city. We bought a few bikes and had employees ride out to customers, just to check if there was an actual demand. Turned out there was not an

Yes, that is really a shame, although it's been fully open sourced. Yandex is aware of how the geopolitical situation is hurting them and are therefore building a new company called Double.Cloud, based in Europe, to work around the neg

You should really consider getting a proper router like Unifi or the like. It's a one time cost and it will save you from these issues no matter what ISP supplied crap you end up getting. Just plug whatever ISP router directly into you

The idea is not to just generate any random string that matches the grammar. The idea is that if your request is "What are the first 10 digits of pi?" and you restrict the response to the regex: "[0-9]+\.[0-9]+", then yo

>Wouldn't it be almost impossible to hit a duplicate when the users each form their own question? The embeddings approach would increase the likelyhood of finding the same question, even if phrased slightly differently.

Why do everyone seem to think that management does not have actual good intentions with measuring NPS as a KPI? The companies I've worked with have all had genuinely good intentions making the best possible experience for the user, bec

This article is too biased. It's very obvious that the author attempted to make what would look like a fair comparison, but the bias shines through every single sentence in favor of Cast AI.
