Yep we’re here. I think lots of us who don’t often post
Modular Mojo is the most well funded and full of respectable players for making an alternative possible
I mean they’re building the labeled dataset right now by having creators label it for them. I would suspect this helps make moderation models better at estimating confidence levels of ai generated content that isn’t…
Think it’s “vibes” based search (aka dense embedding similarity search)
I’ve never understood why people want a more verbose version of sql. I think what people really want is business rules and data cleaning and schema discovery. If you had to use English against multiple source systems to…
This is a fantastic write up and great parallel to the state of where we’re headed.
This is a really great idea and use case. It also makes a ton of sense as a pilot use case for this type of open source project given extensions are smaller in scope. I mean even having it document a best draft of what…
Bought a copy! Your posts and newsletter content has been such a huge inspiration for me throughout 2023 - good luck, this is a huge effort!
I think the bigger problem is that replication/ingestion (ie: what fivetran does) has come to represent 'ELT'. Likely by design. And you don't need that pesky transformation part. Except you really do, when you get…
I'd love an invite if you still have any.
I really like the simplicity of this framework, and they hit on a lot of common problems found in other agent-based frameworks. Most intrigued by the RAG improvements. Seems like Microsoft was frustrated with the pace…
after using both of them for awhile, i see them as complementary as well. i'm more likely to use langchain for execution of tasks, and llamaindex for backend optimization and building out 'embeddings data pipelines'. if…
I'm using LlamaIndex way more these days, mostly because the big use cases from enterprise orgs is around using their own data in novel ways. it makes much more sense for backend tasks. that said, while there's some…
Congrats Jerry! Tackling a hard but very real problem that every organization is going to run into eventually.
If they can build the dev community around this successfully, which I think they can, this will be such a huge gain for the entire ecosystem.
Readwise Reader has completely changed the way I consume articles/PDFs/ebooks and annotate, especially with the Ghostreader (AI/LLM) feature. Easily my favorite app of the year - will be even better if/when an offline…
We sold last year and got to say all these points are pretty on target. the process is grueling and by the end you just want it over to return back to normal life. I agree fully that getting everything done before the…
I'd agree. Staff aug roles for individual freelancers are always easier to find, but good luck getting a team of those unless you're a more established firm - plus, the rate and work isn't all that great. We avoid them…
Takes years, many years, of networking, and investing back into your network. Know someone who was let go and needs help finding a job? Help them find a job. This might turn into something in 3 months, maybe a year,…
Erwin?
This is neat, nice work. Any plans to add Snowflake as a database?
Almost 40 and never unlearned this. Not sure I ever will, but it's nice to aspire to it.
If someone can manage to find a creative way to tap into the Kindle ecosystem and provide a similar service, I'd imagine they could do quite well.
Build relationships and network. It's a huge investment of your time, but it's the best way to start to build a pipeline of opportunities.
Just means we have different anecdotal experience, then. Very little of mine has been in the tech industry.
