Context Engineering for AI Agents: Lessons from Building Manus This post shares the local optima Manus arrived at through our own "SGD". If you're building your own AI agent, we hope these principles help you converge faster.

Or... how to ensure your context takes advantage of KV-cache to save cost. For example, the cached input tokens cost 0.30 USD/MTok, while uncached ones cost 3 USD/MTok—a 10x difference.

The uv build backend is now stable, and considered ready for production use.

An alternative to setuptools, hatchling, etc. for pure Python projects, with a focus on good defaults, user-friendly error messages, and performance.

When used with uv, it's 10-35x faster.

Hello @biceplang.bsky.social !

Do you have any bicep sample code which demonstrates how to:

1) add a certificate to keyvault and configure a contact (for notifications)
2) attach that certifcate to a container app / managed environment ?

Cheers :)

There is some limited support for local llms -> chattr works with LlamaGPTJ-chat, which supports llama, gpt-j and mpt model families.

Posit AI Blog: Chat with AI in RStudio Interact with Github Copilot and OpenAI's GPT (ChatGPT) models directly in RStudio. The `chattr` Shiny add-in makes it easy for you to interact with these and other Large Language Models (LLMs).

My @eurorust.eu talk is up!

"Building an extremely fast Python package manager, in Rust"

It was the closing talk of the conference, covering what uv is, why we built it, how it works, what makes it fast -- and the role that Rust plays in all of this.

And we're off!

I just signed with @manningbooks.bsky.social for the 2nd edition of #Python Workout (pythonworkout.com), my book with 200 exercises to improve your Python fluency.

It'll be more update than overhaul, fixing bugs and modernizing things to help you more than ever.

I'm excited!

Hyperfine benchmark for uv resolving apache-airflow[all].

Found an optimization in uv's resolver that makes Apache Airflow (with all optional dependencies enabled) resolve >20% faster.

Have you tried Mamba? It’s a drop-in replacement for conda and it’s pretty darn fast.

I agree with this - Python dependency management truly is a dumpster fire.

Use Foreign Key Constraints in your Databases - Part I When revising one of my popular sessions on scenarios in which indexes no longer help, one of the topics covered was foreign key constraints for data integrity

Database don't need Foreign Key constraint; the application is taking care of it. Standard arguments are:
- to slow
- limit my handling of data
I took the time to run a few tests with and without Foreign Key Constraints. Surprising results...
