We're thinking about adding AI to the product and that's the path I'd like to take. View AI as an intern who can mistakes, and provide a UI where the user can review what the AI is planning to do.

What if the first language was a sort of sign language, and vocalizations were only auxiliary, optional? With time, humans who vocalized had a better chance to be understood, and their vocal tract evolved. Humans instinctively gesture to th

If there's checkpoint starvation, the WAL file cannot be reset, and it will still grow indefinitely even with this setting.

Sure I don't expect my application to have 14k RPS all the time. However, some spikes can happen, and it can leave you with a large WAL file which doesn't shrink by itself by default. 14k RPS is the maximum my PC could pull off, I

I want to warn that one huge issue with SQLite in WAL mode is that if your site gets a high load, the WAL file will grow unboundedly. I ran a stress test of 14k RPS (that's the maximum my PC can pull off in my Go application, but it pr

Llama.cpp can run on CPU, on GPU, or in mixed mode (some layers run on CPU and some on GPU if you don't have enough VRAM).

I wonder how safe the their (wazero's) approach is from the security point of view. According to the article (and I know it myself too after studying the Go runtime), the Go runtime is quite finicky when it comes to execution of foreig

Not quite - several Slavic languages have so called contrastive palatalization, i.e. almost all consonants come in palatalized/non-palatalized pairs, and they're hard to express using unmodified Latin alphabet. Some Slavic languag
