I'm starting to look around for my next job. Ex-Stripe and Grafana Labs, OSS background, engineering leadership. DMs are open!

In 2014 I invented a metadata extraction platform, and built it out with some amazing people including @piotrrojek @NataliePis @mmontagnino @DeanElbaz and @dahernan among others. It was recently acquired thanks in no small part to the amazing @aaronedell businesswire.com/news/home/2…

#1 on Hacker News and nobody is being horrible to me in the comments. Happy Friday. Here's how I write HTTP services in #golang grafana.com/blog/2024/02/09/…

My talk about using Go generics to reduce HTTP handlers boilerplate and ease the pain of RESTFul API creation is already up (which is crazy). I can't repeat enough how the organization, the effort put by all the team and the level of automation is SICK. #fosdem #golang

Happy New Year everyone! I’m currently available for contract work with #golang #typescript #svelte architecting, refactoring, etc… As always @gopherguides is ready to help train your developers to be great #golang developers. Invest in your team!

Christmas Just Means You by The Caterers. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year with corporate indifference from The Company. [SOUND ON]

If you are a data scientist, #AI Engineer, or doing anything with ML/AI models, you need to check out @TerryTangYuan's new book!!! Yuan is one of the smartest people I've had the chance to interact with in the #datascience community, and his ability to architect scalable ML systems is unparalleled. There is a lot to learn here, so pick up a copy!

LiteFS started as a way to distribute SQLite geographically but why not distribute databases between services? Building APIs is a PITA so we skipped it and just replicated the database instead. And that opened up some more interesting use cases! fly.io/blog/skip-the-api/

One reason I’m suspicious of Deep Learning are all those hidden layers. I mean, what are they hiding?

We hear this a lot too! And we're actively working on lots of ease-of-use improvements - would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions. We also just launched a new feature to make it even more affordable: grafana.com/blog/2023/05/09/…

A new post about prompt injection attacks, which I'm increasingly concerned about now that people are hooking LLMs up to external tools through Auto-GPT, ChatGPT Plugins etc simonwillison.net/2023/Apr/1…

I used @predictionguard (paired with @langchain)to evaluate 27 Large Language Models (LLMs) for text generation and automatically select a best/fallback model for use in some generative #AI applications. A thread 🧵

How to make Asteroids game with GPT-4 and your own A.I. generated textures. 1. Write this prompt in GPT-4: "write p5.js code for Asteroids where you control a spaceship with the mouse and shoot asteroids with the left click of the mouse. If your spaceship collides with an asteroid, you lose. If you shoot down all asteroids, you win! I want to use my own textures for the spaceship and for asteroids." 2. Go to openprocessing.org/ create and save sketch (you'll need to save it before uploading any texture files). Copy paste code from GPT-4 3. Generate texture files (I used Midjourney) using these prompts: asteroid prompt: "asteroid, single object, game asset, sci fi ship, items, rpg, d&d, dungeons and dragons, pathfinder, diablo, item sprite, icon, polished, 3d render, high quality, premium, unreal engine, medieval, amazing detail, high fantasy" spaceship prompt: "spaceship, single object, game asset, sci fi ship, items, rpg, d&d, dungeons and dragons, pathfinder, diablo, item sprite, icon, polished, 3d render, high quality, premium, unreal engine, medieval, amazing detail, high fantasy" galaxy prompt: "green nebula galaxy background, blurry --ar 3:2" Use clipdrop.co/remove-backgroun… to remove backgrounds before uploading images to OpenProcessing 4. Replace names of files with your filenames 5. Run the program 6. If something doesn't work ask GPT-4 to fix it (you can copy an error and paste in GPT-4) like you would ask a human programmer 7. To learn a bit of programming write these prompts to GPT-4: "Act as my programming teacher. Tell me an algorithm of Asteroids game in detail and make names of functions and explain what each of these functions will do. Don't write the code just yet." and then " Can you describe the algorithm overall for a 10-year-old child" I'm making a series of tutorials on how to make games and learn programming in a fun way with GPT-4 (first with p5.js and then Unity). In case it's hard for you to follow this instruction wait for my upcoming beginner's tutorial.

Today we're releasing GPT4All, an assistant-style chatbot distilled from 430k GPT-3.5-Turbo outputs that you can run on your laptop.
