If it’s like vitess then no, but IIRC you get relaxed consistency across shards

To me, this is like asking if having built a sql engine if you write SQL differently. I think the answer is yes. Having a strong understanding of the underlying engine helps you debug and optimize more quickly Needing reference stuff never

I did this in about 400 or 500 lines of typescript with direct API calls into vertex AI (using a library for auth still). Supports zod for structured outputs (gemini 2.5 supports json schema proper, not just the openapi schemas the previous

Investors are investing just as much in the person/team as what they are building. What they build will change, but having a good team is all the difference.

It’s because vertex is the “entrrprise” offering that is hippa compliant, etc. That is why vertex only has explicit prompt caching and not implicit, etc. Vertex usage is never used for training or model feedback, but the gemini API does. Ba

Can you elaborate? Are you conflating node and javascript?

Just write the for loop to react to tool calls? It’s not very much code.

Its pretty heavy in Azure, so I would be surprised if it went away. This is DBX play to move into the transactional database space in addition to the analytical database.

Copilot is limited to 64k context window. Even if the underlying model is gemini with 20x that. It’s gotta be a major reason copilot is so bad in comparison. They are all the same sets of models under the hood

The open source repo to generate an MCP server from a gRPC service is here: https://github.com/redpanda-data/protoc-gen-go-mcp/ Would be cool to also have a tool that uses gRPC reflection, then there wouldn't

Yeah I have read gemini pro 2.5 is a much bigger model.

Part of it is probably tgat claude is just better at coding than what openai has available. I am considering trying to hack in support for gemini into codex and play around with it.

My thoughts is this model release is driven by the agentic app push if this year. Since to my knowledge all the big agentic apps (cursor, bolt, shortwave) that I know of use claude 3.7 because it’s so much better at instruction following an

Looks exactly like ollama but built into Docker desktop? Anyone know of any differences?

And OpenAI doesn't/wouldn't if they had the chance?

It’s not really copy and patch, the whole point of the copy patch is so you can inline that in your compilation output and it’s a fast baseline interpreter because individual builtin functions are optimized (via the compiler output you’re c

by rockwotj 2y ago
The resulting VM implementation reminds me of this post from cloudflare where they similarly use closures to build their interpreter. https://blog.cloudflare.com/building-fast-interpreters-in-ru...

I am hoping MCP will fix this. I am building an MCP integration with kapa.ai for my company to help devs here. I guess this doesn’t work if you don’t add in the tool

I do like this approach in theory, but agreed I don't think that the devex has been solved and I don't know how many people would value a different approach as SQL feels like king in many places... FWIW it's kind of the appro

is anyone outside of the research labs fine tuning models for production use cases? I have been seeing more people just using foundational models off the shelf especially in light of a new advancement that seems to come every few months

Redpanda Connect is a yaml file that has a cdc input and you can process the data and send it anywhere, no Kafka required. I’ve seen postgres cdc directly being written to Snowflake. https://docs.redpanda.com/redpanda-connec

Why confluent instead of something like MSK, Redpanda or one of the new leaderless, direct to S3 Kafka implementations?

Maybe they are conflating the Starcraft success that Deepmind had with AlphaStar?

Generally if you care about safety then “pretty safe” doesn’t cut it.
