These images from the nitric acid spill in Vinton County, Ohio are both disturbing and oddly beautiful.

RAG !== vectors.
The R is for retrieval—i.e. get useful stuff. You can do that lots of ways:
📄 Full-text search
🧾 SQL query
⚡ @redis.io key lookup
🧠 Yes, even vector search
It's not how you retrieve—it's what you retrieve.
Get the right data. Feed it to your #LLM. That’s the magic of #RAG.

I was able to talk @redis.io into putting together a happy hour at Forbidden Root in Easton the night before @stirtrek.com. Just a chance to network, share some food and drink, and talk with nerds.

Redis 8 adds a new data type called vector sets. I wrote some code to play with them and shared some my thoughts on when I think they're useful.

I wrote a blog post about using async generators in #TypeScript to stream #Bigfoot sightings out of @redis.io. It’s fast, memory-efficient, and weirdly fun. 👣

My chat on #TheForwardSlash with James Carman from Callibrity is live! We got into @redis.io, dev advocacy, radio + Redis plane tracking (not that plane), remote work, TypeScript love-hate, and more.
All over the place—in the best way.

Found this great tool that makes super sexy radio coverage maps. Here's my station at 2m.

🌤️ I’m a radio nerd and—like a lot of radio nerds—I have a backyard weather station transmitting weather data 24/7.
🧑💻 I'm also a software nerd and—like a lot of software nerds—I can't just look at the data, I gotta do something cool with it.

Pretty solid bit of swag from @hero.dev here at @devnexus.bsky.social. Wendy was great and let me have it a bit early.

Redis 8 is gonna be out in just a few short weeks and—along with numerous performance improvements—it comes with a host of new data types. One of them is native JSON support which lets you store JSON as, well, JSON, rather than serializing it and shoving it in a string.

💡 This shared architecture lets me write fast, simple code—code that matches Redis' design metaphor. And since that single-threaded event loop processes requests sequentially—I rarely need more than a single connection to Redis!

Working on my talk Florida Man Uses Cache as Database for @codemash.bsky.social next week. Working on the slides, but the repo is ready to be played with at github.com/guyroyse/flo.... It uses @redis.io's vector search to find the Florida Man news you need.
Try it out and let me know how it goes!

Coding completed, exercises written, slides done. Ready to give my workshop on software-defined radio at @codemash.bsky.social in just a few short days. Give it a look if you're so inclined and kick the tires if you're just a little bit extra.
