This is what a digital coup looks like “We are watching the collapse of the international order in real time, and this is just the start,” says investigative journalist Carole Cadwalladr. In a searing talk, she decries the rise of the “bro...

I've always been an advocate of data privacy. And even if we have to put ourselves for professional reasons, we always need to be mindful of the potential risks of doing it.

Let's prioritize safety, ethics, and global cooperation to ensure AI benefits us all. Please let me know what your thoughts are. In contrast, Emmanuel Macron's interview with Micode shows a much more viable long-term approach to it, even if that will be hard to compete.

It's worth noting that Vance's stance aligns with the broader Trump administration's focus on profit and deregulation. While economic growth is essential, we must ensure it doesn't come at the cost of safety and ethical standards. Let's strive for a future where AI benefits everyone.

Geopolitical Cooperation: Vance hinted at an AI race, but this shouldn't be at the expense of global cooperation. We need shared ethical standards to guide AI's development. Let's work together!

Economic Balance: Vance fears regulation could stifle the AI industry. But unchecked AI poses risks like job displacement. We need a balanced approach to foster growth while managing risks.

Global Trust: AI needs public confidence to thrive. Vance's focus on lighter regulation misses the mark on ensuring safety and preventing misuse. We need international standards to build trust.

Learning from Europe: Vance criticized European regulations as "risk-averse." But Europe's approach balances innovation and protection. The EU's AI Act aims to build trust through safety and transparency. That's a win-win!

Safety First: Vance warned that "excessive regulation" could hinder AI's growth. But let's not forget that safety is paramount. We need guidelines to protect us from potential harm. It's like driving a car - rules keep us safe!

Hello everyone! I wanted to share some thoughts on JD Vance's recent speech at the France AI Summit. I'm really concerned about his stance on regulation.

🎯 Native Gemini API integration is neat, but the real test will be real-world performance at scale. Previous managed RAG solutions have struggled with latency and cost. Let's see if Google cracks this nut. #CloudComputing

⚡️ Deep customization for parsing (chunk sizes), retrieval, and generation. But here's the thing: more knobs to turn = more complexity. Will be interesting to see if this actually simplifies RAG or adds another layer of decisions. #LLMs

🤔 Key differentiator: Flexibility. Mix & match your favorite models (Gemini, Claude, Llama), vector DBs (Pinecone, Weaviate), and data sources. No vendor lock-in is surprisingly un-Google, but smart move. #VertexAI

🚨 Google just dropped Vertex AI RAG Engine (Jan 2025) to help enterprises bridge the gap between flashy LLM demos and actual production use. The reality is most companies struggle with RAG implementation - this is their solution. #AI #MLOps

Setting Up a Rock-Solid Typescript React Project with ESLint and Prettier A practical guide to setting up a modern TypeScript React project with automated code formatting and quality checks. Learn how to configure ESLint and Prettier, set up VS Code for optimal development,...

Just published a quick article on my eslint / prettier setup for Cursor or VSCode. Have consistent coding rules every time, automagically.

And yes, my deployment solution of choice, Upsun, has it out of the box.

Bonus: And let's not forget its excellent JSON support with JSONB - giving you NoSQL flexibility when you need it, while keeping all the benefits of a relational database. 🎁

Finally: The extensibility through custom functions, operators, and data types is amazing. 🔌 Want geospatial capabilities? PostGIS. Need full-text search? Built right in. PostgreSQL isn't just a database, it's a platform you can build upon. 🏗️

Window functions and Common Table Expressions (CTEs) in PostgreSQL are incredibly powerful. 💪 Complex analytical queries that used to require multiple temporary tables or application-level processing now run in a single, elegant query. ✨

Game-changing reason: PostgreSQL's native vector support through pgvector! 🧠 Being able to store and query embeddings directly in the database is incredible for AI applications. Similarity searches, nearest neighbor queries, and cosine distance calculations right in SQL 🎯 #ai #vectors #embeddings

First up: PostgreSQL's ACID compliance and transaction handling is rock solid. 🔒 The way it handles concurrent operations and maintains data integrity, especially in high-traffic situations, gave me peace of mind I never knew I needed. No more late-night data consistency nightmares! 😴

Why I switched from #MySQL to #PostgreSQL - a thread on my database journey 🔄

After years of defaulting to MySQL for every project, I finally made the switch to PostgreSQL. Here's why it was one of the best technical decisions I've made... 🚀

Cursor is now running commands and parsing the output. If it fails, it adds logging to try to understand what's going on... This editor is changing the way I develop every day. Oh and they raised 105M ... #webdev #ai

Wait is that 1.46 or 1.54?

So you’re now Snarly-but-not-too-much Greg.

I think you’re missing the end…

YouTube video by Yann Leonardi Pourquoi LinkedIn est si BIZARRE ?

Quoting Yann Leonardi here: "People on LinkedIn don't like what they like, but the content that will reinforce who they want us to think they are.".

I love it. This is one of the reasons LinkedIn is a weird place to hang around.

Who remembers Gateway 2000? My first real machine... Pentium 120Mhz. I played Doom like crazy on this thing!

The struggle is real.
