I think most of the comments in this thread are probably about the lower support levels for GCP. I personally have never used enterprise support for GCP. For the lower support levels AWS is miles better than GCP. Not sure about the enterpri

Which Support level do you have with GCP? I haven’t used GCP support at work yet only as a hobbyist, sounds like maybe you had their enterprise support tier?

I love the GCP UI and the DX in general of their cloud offerings. I also love the feature set of Cloud Run, BigQuery, and DataFlow. My only problem with GCP is that their support is horrible, I much prefer AWS support that’s why I can’t use

Not really in the spirit of the post but I learned recently that you can also back your API Gateway apis in AWS with an s3 bucket: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide... Makes it super sim

It’s also really strange using python and node in an article about concurrency without mentioning the GIL (python) or node single threading.

I’ve wanted to ask this question but I don’t know who to ask. Can someone explain what the use case is for vector DBs like pinecone, milvus etc. vs a fully featured search engine like Vespa, ElasticSearch etc. which also support vector sear

That diet is good for weight loss it’s not good for overall health. Search on google scholar about “Whole food plant based diet” you will find many studies on this diet especially focusing on cardiovascular health improvements. A good start

Personally, I have been bitten by the opposite of this. Code duplicated in many areas that are very slightly different and then when you need to change some shared dependency you might forget to update the logic in all the places. The probl

I have run into the same issue when using it for coding. It can easily debug simple code but for libraries like Bazel I went down a rabbit hole for 2 hours of letting it debug an error and failing every time even with chain of thought it ha

This is probably a dumb question but what makes plastics or metals food grade? I ask because I want to know if DIYing kitchen gadgets like this is somehow unsafe or is it possible to build food grade gadgets yourself?

This is a basic example of a Reason and Act (React) agent: https://python.langchain.com/en/latest/modules/agents/agents... Search is a tool that provides more context to the agent in order to answer a hu

I agree with the overall idea, but we don’t need to limit the AI to human collaborators. I think the future lies in the Copilot approach of giving the Agent relevant context by building smarter prompt generation pipelines. The AI are really

Interestingly there has been a resurgence of the Capistrano approach in the PHP community with ansistrano: https://github.com/ansistrano/deploy That’s Capistrano v2 implemented in Ansible. Honestly been tempted just to

This is an amazing post on building a cloud product. While I was reading I was thinking “how did they get around the IAM role limits with dedicated roles” and they even touched on how they used a cellular architecture. I wish there was a li

What do you mean by Feedback here? Is there a paper you’re referencing for Chain of Thought with feedback?

That actually brings up another aspect of AWS architecture, even for global services that depend on us-east-1, AWS separates the control plane (configuration of resources) from the data plane (usage of resources). These global services like

It sounds like this is providing a sandboxed wasm runtime as a service is that right? I think in this case the landing page is lacking in technical details to the point where it’s hard to understand what the product actually is. I like the

AWS invested a ton into limiting the blast radius of failures by isolating AZs, regions and using a cellular (service level isolated shards) architecture. I am surprised these ideas have not propagated to newer companies trying to build clo

I see, what fault tolerance mechanisms does it provide? I don’t see anything on snapshotting or checkpointing like Flink. Is this just for stateless jobs?

Should we think of BuildFlow as an alternative to workflow managers like Prefect or kubeflow or is it a higher level library for stream processing like Beam?

The methods they employ are to improve the context being given to the model irrespective of the context length. Even when the context length improves these methods will be used to decrease the search space and resources required for a singl

Is this an alternative to triton or is it somehow using triton for hardware specific optimizations?

Is this approach not just Capistrano but using containers and specific to python? You could just use firecracker microVMs and ansistrano to implement this same workflow but get better isolation from firecracker.

If you asked this question 6 or 8 years ago the answer would be it depends on the volume of data (10s of gb, 100s of gb etc.) and I could give you just a single tool that would help you in most cases. Today honestly most tools are pretty ca

I also use a python repl as an alternative to excel or SQL. I find myself just downloading the data as a CSV and then quickly cooking up some pandas to get a graph or aggregate some stats, it’s just so much quick easier imo.

I just want to add to this, I had this exact same experience when working with journalists and other non-technical background programmers. You’ll find everyone from philosophy PhDs to Biologists to Journalists who use pandas because its so
