A Weaviate engineer pulls back the curtain on two years of hard-earned lessons in vector search—breaking downBM25,embedding models,ANN algorithms, andRAG pipelines. The real story? Retrieval workflows keep moving—from keyword-heavy (sparse) toward embedding-driven (dense). Across IR use cases, the ..

Claude Code skips the multi-agent circus. One main loop. At most, one fork in the road. Everything runs through a flat message history, tracked by a tidy little to-do list. Over half its LLM calls? Outsourced to lighter, cheaper models likeclaude-3-5-haiku. Smart split: heavyweight reasoning when y..

A DIY email triage rig usingHome Assistant, IMAP, andOllamawires up local LLM smarts with YAML-fueled automation. At the core: an8B dolphin-llamamodel running on GPU, chewing through messy HTML emails, tagging them, and firing off priority-sorted summaries via notifications. Why it matters:A signal..

A new reference rounds up the core ML equations—Bayes’ Theorem, cross-entropy, eigen decomposition, attention—and shows how they plug into real Python code using NumPy, TensorFlow, and scikit-learn. It hits the big four: probability, linear algebra, optimization, and generative modeling. Stuff that..

AWS just dropped support for buildingserverless agentic AI systems. You’ll need the Strands Agents SDK, Bedrock AgentCore (preview), plus trusty tools like Lambda and ECS. What’s new? Agentic AI flips the script. Instead of dumb prompt-in, response-out bots, you getgoal-driven loopswith memory, too..

AWS dropped theCloud Control API MCP Server, a mouthful of a name for a tool that makes 1,200+ AWS resources manageable through a standard CRUDL API—using natural language. Think: describe what you want, and tools like Amazon Q Developer turn it into actual infra code. It doesn’t stop there. It val..

Go observability still feels like pulling teeth. Manual instrumentation? Tedious. Span coverage? Spotty. Telemetry volume? Totally out of hand. Even with OpenTelemetry gaining traction, Go lags behind Java and Python when it comes to auto-instrumentation and clean context propagation. Devs are hunt..

The Bitnami team has delayed the deletion of the Bitnami public catalog until September 29th. They will conduct a series of brownouts to prepare users for the upcoming changes, with the affected applications list being published on the day of each brownout. Users are advised to switch to Bitnami Sec..

Antithesis and Jepsen want to kill hand-wavy "high availability" talk. Instead, they push for clearavailability models—majority,total,sticky, etc.—that spell out when an operationactuallyworks during failures. It's about precision, not platitudes. Why it matters:This reframes availability from a va..

A new ECS security mess—ECScape—lets low-privileged tasks on EC2 act like the ECS agent. That’s bad. Real bad. Why? Because it opens the door to stealing IAM credentials from other ECS tasks sharing the same host. Here’s the trick: The attacker hits the instance metadata service (IMDS) and fakes a ..
