This is exactly how I've achieved this on Windows in the past. However, since writing that solution, I have come to understand that utilizing AppDomains (for .Net Framework) and AssemblyLoadContexts (for .Net Core) to load/unload

Very much this. One of the best accounts of this progression I’ve read is the “AI Superpowers..” book by Kai-Fu Lee. China held the “Knock-off/cheap copycat” moniker in the 90s, 00s, and early 1Xs, but the tides are shifting in terms o

Does iCloud mitigate this? It’s always confused me that iCloud is intended only as a data sync and not back-up… If one device goes down and the rest still work, could you still access data from the dead device?

Very nicely written article. Personally, I find RAG (and more abstractly, vector search) the only mildly interesting development in the latest LLM fad, and have always felt that LLMs sit way too far down the diminishing returns curve to be

I tend to agree, the flexibility that non-statically typed languages (i.e. Python) offer on smaller-scale projects (very) quickly diverges to chaos on larger-scale. With scale, rules and rigidity provide structure, without they provide verb

- The works of Richard Feynman: All are very nice reads. - The Idea Factory (Jon Gertner): The only book I’ve read more than once and gifted to several friends and acquaintances. - The Silmarillion: Incredible World-Building - The Master a

As a fan of Sinek’s messages - I would recommend his Ted/YouTube talks over the books.

OP, my 2-cents having done this in a different industry within a company ~1/10th of yours: - as other comments mentioned, going slow and sticking to a solid vision of what “success” would look like in these efforts is important - most

IMHO, the downfall is singularly: ad revenue. Monetizing your website/app/product indirectly in this way has been the sole source of many (all?) negative emergent features of modern software and products. i.e. a focus on attention

Three books come to my mind on this topic: 1) Atomic Physics and Human Knowledge by Niels Bohr - and to think this was a series of speeches is pretty intense… still haven’t read it through to this day after ~7 years. 2) The Master and His E

Much the same way you can have all the best gear and still fail - Google’s primary strength seems to be the DeepMind group. I’m not affiliated with Google, but IMHO the reason they will slowly die is because their engineering culture has ta
