Unstructured data holds valuable information about codebases, organizational best practices, and customer feedback. Here are some ways you can leverage it with RAG, or retrieval-augmented generation.

Let's understand how Walmart successfully managed the traffic surges during the Black Friday event with their Clojure system.

It’s beautiful to see the industry finally adopt a superior technique for API versioning: rolling versions. Last week, Sequence adopted rolling versions as the versioning scheme for their API. Ten years ago, this scheme was unheard of, but fast-forward to this day, and it is fast becoming ubiquitous thanks to Stripe for inventing and popularising this technique with their article — APIs as infrastructure: future-proofing Stripe with versioning.

Submerging computers in a synthetic nonconductive oil may prove far better at cooling them than other strategies

Preface This article is an introduction the Odin Programming Language. It is aimed at people who know a bit of programming, but have never touched Odin. It is not a reference guide, rather I try to keep things informal and talk about what I think are important aspects of the language. There will be some notes on differences to C/C++, as Odin in many ways tries to be better C. If you enjoy this article and want to support me, then you can do so by becoming a patron.

A small overview on how future-sight, my blog's preview site server, is overengineered with the power of Kubernetes.

Just an unordered collections of thoughts on this. In programming languages, nondeterminism tends to come from randomness, concurrency, or external forces...

Secure and private AI processing in the cloud poses a formidable new challenge. To support advanced features of Apple Intelligence with larger foundation models, we created Private Cloud Compute (PCC), a groundbreaking cloud intelligence system designed specifically for private AI processing. Built with custom Apple silicon and a hardened operating system, Private Cloud Compute extends the industry-leading security and privacy of Apple devices into the cloud, making sure that personal user data sent to PCC isn’t accessible to anyone other than the user — not even to Apple. We believe Private Cloud Compute is the most advanced security architecture ever deployed for cloud AI compute at scale.

ID3 is a metadata container most often used in conjunction with the MP3 audio file format. It allows information such as the title, artist, album, track number, and other information about the file to be stored in the file itself.

Learn about M3U file format and APIs that can create and open M3U files.

Simple, Efficient, and Robust Hash Tables for Join Processing Hash tables are probably the most versatile data structures for data processing. For that reason, CedarDB depends on hash table to perform some of the most crucial parts of its query execution engine. Most prominently, CedarDB implements relational joins as hash joins. This blog post assumes you know what a hash join is. If not, the Wikipedia article has a short introduction into the topic for you.
