A common mistake in #RAG is going through the whole chunking and embedding process when text-to-SQL is the far better approach. Use the right tool for the job! #AI

Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need Python to build #RAG #AI systems. I’ve recently deployed 4 different systems using NodeJS and the Google #Genkit framework as the back-end.

When I’m making prototypes I typically skip the unit tests, but this is something Claude 3.7 Sonnet is really good at, esp if your memory bank is up to date. With one prompt and less than $1 of API credit, I had Jest running and handing out green checks. #ai #jestjs #claude #roocode @anthropic.com

I’m new to @playbalatro.com — man that difficulty spike is wild after ante 11…the next round (which I lost) wanted 7M! Still loving the break from the Spire. #balatro #roguelike #deckbuilder #slaythespire

If you’re powering up your Ledger Nano S for the first time in a while and see a dim screen, just know it’s a <$20 easy fix. Just in case though, make sure you have your recovery phrase. #crypto #hardwarewallet #infosec #ledgernano

I use MacOS and Windows for different things. I think it’s funny when someone says their $3k MacBook Pro dunks on an old $500 Windows laptop instead of something with price parity. (Tesla owners do this too) #macos #windows #tesla

As a 30-year guitarist/bassist, I’m embarrassed to admit this is the first time I’ve properly adjusted my own “setup” to fine tune intonation, truss relief, action, and pickup height. Great way to spend an afternoon with noticeable tone and playability results. #jazzbass #trussrod

Is there some irony that some of the biggest proponents of the "no-code" approach are also advocating that people learn how to write complex and detailed GPT prompts? #ai #chatgpt #copilot #gemini #nocode #lowcode
