There is also the risk of companies like Meta introducing ads in the training itself, instead of inference time.

Some years ago, for a reason I can't remember, I was browsing tiny phones (not smartphones) in a Chinese e-commerce site. I was amazed by the vast range of devices in this category (at the time). After a few Google searches trying to u

But let's take splitting as an example. Does it happen in the Python part or the Postgres part? Is it a feature of the Python SDK or is it a feature of pgml? I couldn't understand this from the docs.

I was expecting to see something like a foreign table that managed the upload, chunking, embedding, everything in a transparent manner. But what I found in the examples was some Python code that look a lot like what the other frameworks are

This is kind of cool! Seems more lightweight than alternatives, with less moving parts. Also, some comments are complaining about the RAG as "Retriever-Agent-Generator", which is not the accepted definition, I think this must be a

On a side note, I think window.assistant might be a better name. AI is a tired and ambiguous term at this point.

That's mostly how Knuth codes (with a flavor twist in the form of literate programming). It's a huge endorsement of the idea presented in the article :)

On a side note, is there an open source RAG library that's not bound to a rising AI startup? I couldn't find one and I have a simple in-house implementation that I'd like to replace with something more people use.

Almost nobody cares about privacy or control. I wonder if there is a market there. Maybe you can make people perceive privacy as something valuable and capitalize on that and on Windows. But people mostly don't care and will put up wit

This would need to be dynamic, since a delay that works for a group of 1,000 would probably clutter a group of 100,000. And if all users post at the exact same time, slow mode doesn't help. But maybe there's value in solving this

I had an interesting experience with a WhatsApp group recently. In the past, WhatsApp groups had an upper limit of 256 participants. They then increased this to something much bigger (not sure how much, but at least 1,000). Anyway, I was a

I've used Dex with a high-end tablet and the input lag shows. You can see that the letter drag a little before being rendered. Quickly doing stuff like changing windows is not reliable and often makes you go to the wrong window if you

Maybe this will finally solve input lag on Android. Every desktop Android experience I've ever touched had an incredible amount of input lag, both on mouse and keyboard.

How do people use it on bigger deployments? Do they manage to make a single "instance" work for enormous volumes? Do they make one database per customer shenanigans?

Also, most of the signers in that letter probably still have OpenAI equity. They are incentivized to pump it. I'm not saying that they are doing this in bad faith. I'm just saying that the incentive is perverse in this case.

I'm an experienced developer turned CTO in the finance industry. I've been studying finance and I've come to appreciate spreadsheets a lot. They are much more powerful and interesting than my previous misconception.

Will this actually move stuff around? I'd prefer that it mounted in another directory, giving me an organized view of my files but not actually moving them.

I'd guess that React code is a lot easier for a LLM, since it's a frequent occurrence in its training dataset and frontend code tends to be repetitive and full of boilerplate. I believe that AI will be a perfect programmer in the

Kind of, but I'd guess that Google searches and Stack Overflow might have a higher success rate than this.

But ambiguity gives you readability. And if a "count" variable clashes with the function name, it's trivial for the compiler to catch this and warn you. It's a matter of preference, but I'd still risk ambiguity and

I like C++, but I don't understand this tradition of keeping these annoying namespaces prefixed to everything. Just get rid of those std::, foo::bar::whatever::, etc from your code and make it more readable. Use the "use" cla

That's what I like about Go. It's easy to read and understand Go code from open source projects written in it (although Kubernetes is a notable exception, with a very convoluted Go code).

I'm curious in cases like this if it's worth growing so much as a single company. It feels more efficient, in my mind, if the company splits up in smaller pieces everytime that demand grows and products change. It's just a fe

It's not that it's bad. But sometimes the project and the team are not that big that its qualities matter. And you lose a little bit of readibility with type-intensive code. And nicely written TypeScript looks awesome, but badly w

I'm frustrated with Gemini Advanced because of this. It's very good at interacting with calendar and stuff like a digital assistant IF you use text to talk to it. The speech to text is awful (and borderline dangerous).
