Agent, I need some vitamin D, can you find me the best deal for some rated in the top 5? Agent deployed. Ok we found a bottle with a 30 day supply of Nature’s Own from a well respected merchant. It can be here in 2 days and it is $12. Shoul

Does it need to enable 10x productivity? Part of the job of a developer is the constant pursuit of new tools to make you more efficient. The developers who do not evolve all the time are eventually passed by a younger generation. If it make

I created a search engine that crawled the web way back in 2003. I used a proper user agent that included my email address. I got SO many angry emails about my crawler, which played as nice as I was able to make it play. Which was pretty ni

The article is about scaling issues with tons of writes, which I referenced by saying “tons of writes”. Yes, if there is no reason to scale it up you can just use a database. But that’s not the context.

Transactional databases are not really the best tool for writing tons of (presumably) immutable records. Why are you using it for this? Why not Elastic?

It’s fine. We’re fine.

Everyone is capable of being a toddler. This article frames it like there are a bunch of idiots out there that are always wrong. I think he is acting like a toddler when he points out the people that are always wrong. It is good to analyze

Yes they will. Why do you think they won’t? They certainly can. You just use RAG to look up the latest news based on the keywords you are using. You can use search on the back end and never surface a list of results unless the LLM decides t

This might be vestibular or neurological in nature. I had a vestibular condition that affected my eyesight and did rehab and they gave me eye exercises that helped somewhat. Fast forward a few years of struggling and I found that it was cau

Think about this. You need to calculate the number of permutation for 4 digit codes. Then you need to arrange them in every order possible to brute force. So that’s 4!!. That’s a lot: roughly 620000000000000000000000 combos.
