I wrote a blog post on Vector databases, and how they work under the hood.

Let's say trying to build a RAG using a Danish language documents, but most of the models I use are in English. Is there a way to build upon existing models, and create better embeddings.

Would general fine tuning of my model be enough?

I think embeddings are going to be game change for Data Engineers! Do you agree?

The way we can interact with raw text using embeddings, is super promising. I’ve written a small introduction to them here: dilovan.substack.com/p/teaching-a...

Can I change prettier in #Neovim so I can have 120 character lines instead of 80 characters?

Will a moustache make me a better developer, I use #Neovim btw

Day 05 #AdventOfCode done and still having loads of fun.
I first tried using some fancy data structures.

But realised I was over engineering it, so instead I built some functionality to sort each line, with #rusts sort_by.

Built using #rust and #NeoVim

Only 23% of people are good at math, so it’s really important that we look out for the other 87%.

I've completed "Ceres Search" - Day 4 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/4

Today used recursion for part 1, and for part 2 I compared the result of the diagonal cells to a pre approved list. I can't decide if it's smart, or dumb.

Results written in #rust with #neovim

This was my tenth(!) year building 25 days of puzzles for #AdventOfCode. You can solve them all for free! Most people write code to solve them, but you can solve them however you like. I hope they help people become better programmers. 🌟

The first puzzle comes out in two hours: adventofcode.com

Any cool solutions for Day03 #AdventOfCode? For part 2 I set a flag and turn it on and off as I se do and don't.

Answer written in #Rust using #NeoVim:

Did anyone find a O(n) solution to #AdventOfCode Day 2 part 2?

Is WebAssembly the new JVM? I've been working with WebAssembly lately, and I love it. But I feel like the promise of WebAssembly on the server sounds a lot like Write Once, Run Anywhere 😂

Working on QuackHouse, I've gained a great appreciation for Columnstore databases, and decided to write a post on substack regarding it. I hope you'll like it

I’ve done and update to my privacy focused analytics tool. It now has a database explorer and autocompletion for your files. As before data never leaves your computer.

Who should I follow here for #DataEngineering and #SoftwareDevelopment content?

I've decided to built an analytics platform which runs 100% locally using WebAssembly, and that I will write about the journey. Here is the first blog post: substack.com/home/post/p-...
