Especially when the solid core now ships with a web ui and API compatibility with OpenAI and Antropic. In my test of ai clients, Ollama was the only one I deleted.

This was my issue with current client ecosystem. I get a .guff file. I should be able to open my AI Client of choice and File -> Open and select a .guff. Same as opening a .txt file. Alternatively, I have cloned a HF model, all AI Cl

Did you even listen to the speech? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDMyeGQm3NA He never trashed the US, he simply stated the facts and how middle powers should respond. Not by isolating but by working together. He direct

If you watch his speech and the follow up interview you he answers that directly ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDMyeGQm3NA @ 17:50). It's a good watch, better than the past 10 years of daily coverage by American m

Java introduced Optional to remove nulls. It also introduced a bunch of things to make it behave like functional languages. You can use records for immutable data, sealed interfaces for domain states, you can switch on the sealed interfac

I went through evaluating a bunch of frameworks. There was Langchain, AG2, Firebase Gen AI / Vertex / whatever Google eventually lands on, Crew AI, Microsoft's stuff etc. It was so early in the game none of those frame works

I will also add checks to make sure the data that I get is there even though I checked 8 times already and provide loads of logging statements and error handling. Then I will go to every client that calls this API and add the same checks a

I feel like it was this way 10 years ago. Once r/TheDonald successfully gamed the system everyday I think people with interest took notice. Now you can be in a niche sub reddit that averages 40 comments on a post. Then a post that

I asked Claude to add a debug endpoint to my hardware device that just gave memory information. It wrote 2600 lines of C that gave information about every single aspect of the system. On the one hand kind of cool. It looked at the MQTT co

I ran into an AI coded bug recently the generated code had a hard coded path that resolved another bug. My assumption is the coder was too lazy to find the root cause of the bug and asked the LLM to "make it like this". The LLM

The future is already here. Look at how companies behave today, AI will not change their behaviour. AI will not make them 'nicer'. People talk about the massive productivity change and how we need to think about Universal Basic

It was my go to back when I was doing Java Desktop / Servelets / Java EE. I found it easier to use than Eclipse, which most people I knew were using. I recently did a Google AppEngine project to collect and display weather data a

When the server is behind a pipe of limited size. When most of your new visits happen all at once over a short period of time. When you can't rely on a mobile phones cache like a desktop because 90% of your visitors are using one. A

1) Yes, the other benefit at the time was a browser would only do X number of requests per domain, using the CDN allowed more requests. Also it was a bandwidth issue from the server. 2) Yes. I should also mention at the time mobile browse

by alzoid 2y ago
In this situation server bandwidth was an issue. Using an available CDN with the fall back was what we decided to do. It's not that complicated, from the client check if the object you expect to exist in the library exists, if not lo

by alzoid 2y ago
I do both. If you are loading a JS lib then check for its existence on the client. If it's not found load the resource from your server. You could also achieve this on the server side.

I switched to YT music and like it better than Spotify. The main thing I find is YT recommends better related music to what I am currently listening to. I found Spotify was playing the exact same songs all the time. Plus you get ad free Y

I find the costs and use cases take up time to try and figure out. I wanted to prototype a IOT device pushing data to the cloud. I used Google IOT Core. After reading a bunch of tutorials I streamed the data to Big Query. I used a devi

No, when I read the article 'hard' seemed to equate to 'took longer than expected'. It takes time, but I think the tools that are out there are easy enough to use. If you wrote the software you already have a good idea

I don't think load testing is hard, it just requires time to do properly. Maybe some people think they can get a tool, record a script and hit play. In some cases that might be enough. Once you are concerned about performance testin

I agree, I see those patterns in the wild a lot. You have a Microsoft shop using .NET and SQL Server yet the devs still abstract the data access layer. I think those patterns just became common 'just in case' they were needed.
