How can Heathrow allow such a critical single point of failure. One single fire shutting down the airport and creating massive disruptions

Why did Google release the transformers whitepaper to the public? It feels like they could have used this breakthrough to have a huge competitive advantage in AI.

I am genuinely impressed how good GH copilot is with building correct SQL

I thought building a RAG pipeline was all about using an LLM to query chunks in a vector DB although I would never get the right context for my queries. This article explain an interesting approach by storing summarised data alongside the chunks towardsdatascience.com/leveraging-sma…

Has anyone used @readysetio to cache Postgres queries/table at scale ? What are the alternatives and trade offs ?

Claude 3.5 from @AnthropicAI is giving me much better results than GPT 4 on code prompts (Terraform, NodeJS Lambda and Python Lambda). You can try it now here: claude.ai/chat

After using @GitHubCopilot for more than a year: - Code completion 👎 - Copilot chat 👍 Great to be able to prompt with current file as context but the code completion still sucks. Would be great to be able to choose the model, heard @AnthropicAI ‘s model is great for code

I am writing some Terraform to deploy a Python script to AWS lambda as a docker image, it turns out more challenging than I thought but cool to get 10GB function size limit, especially since those ML dependencies are really big!

I have been using LLMs, Langchain and RAG for two use cases and I am really impressed about the results: 1) Extract and transform data into a structured format using with_structured_output 2) Perform text matching with embedding

Got some great result with using Langchain, GPT, function calls and JSON schema to extract recipes from web pages into a formatted JSON for heycookbook.com . No need to maintain any HTML parsing and formatting!
