Agree, this is pointless. For one thing how many companies have the technical ability to remove specific records from all their database backups and logs? None that I’ve worked at

As a English native and Dutch speaker, many of the Anglish words translate directly into Dutch, somewhat unsurprisingly. “Gnawdeer” is indeed “knaagdier” in Dutch, a very cute word I always find. :)

I don't know about the kind of web apps you've been building, but most of the ones I've built over the last 10-15 years have had too much interactivity to be done with simpler server side rendering.

This is the kind of well written, in depth technical narrative I visit HN for. I definitely learned from it. Thanks for posting!

This is just the landing page for a research paper? It's hard to understand what the actual production capabilities of this are.

Just want to say as a fellow dev who loved the glory days of Rails and then later Meteor (I actually launched a production app on HN that used Meteor!), best of luck! I'm not really in the market for a universal app framework like this

Yup, come to the same conclusion. I browsed the source of this project, in particular the password hashing and encryption, it seems overcomplicated compared to a KISS bcrypt implementation. I’ve also spent way too much time integrating Auth

The pro nuclear types hate these observations because they’re painfully true. Battery storage is already doing a lot in the UK (4.6GW/5.9GWh) and the huge solar build out is a no brainer. Nuclear power is a dead end technology

I considered trying to do something like this for CFD (specifically to see if I could show how lift is created by airflow over an airfoil). I got kind of stuck on it though and gave up, too far out of my area. Awesome to see others doing th

I don’t understand what the memory is or does from the README. Can anyone explain how it works differently from vector database results in vanilla RAG applications?

by davedx 2y ago
Cost is one aspect, but what about ingest time? You’re adding significant processing time to your pipeline with this method right?

Yeah it did make me chuckle. I’m guessing products like elasticsearch support all the classic text matching algos out of the box anyway?

Even with prompt caching this adds a huge extra time to your vector database create/update, right? That may be okay for some use cases but I’m always wary of adding multiple LLM layers into these kinds of applications. It’s nice for th

Anyone from Mistral here? The link to the docs is broken, and I really would like to know more about what the specifications are for calling this via API. Foremost, what's the maximum image size you can use via the API? Thank you!

I remember we once used ad&d rules to replay the Aeniad. That was awesome. Just use your imagination folks, it’s actually that simple! (Alcohol may have helped. And hindered.)
