I'm working on Pocketdata - a personal, private AI data plane. The idea is to take boring components: PostgreSQL, Bifrost (LLM gateway), Open WebUI, LanceDB, Agentgateway (MCP and …

> It seems like a web version of claude code + skills + marketplace, but with an encrypted database, and permissions that let you feel safe using yolo mode. I’m going to try it. I'…

It's not super easy to port a library with domain-specific ML/DS algorithms built around Pandas, such as accepting Pandas dataframes as arguments to its functions and class constru…

BigQuery Storage Read API claims to support filters and simple projections pushed down to the storage: https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/storage . See also this rece…

I don't buy this "object storage + Iceberg is all you need for OLAP" hype. If the application has sustained query load, it makes sense to provision servers rather than go pure serv…

Every once in a while, before falling asleep I enter a "mellow" state in which I can conjure mental images dramatically more vividly than normally. I would say that normally it var…

Answering my own question about the other frameworks (one also from Google, BTW): https://exa.ai/search?c=news&q=time%20series%20prediction%20...

What are the other four frameworks? > For one, who wants to do stuff in tensorflow anymore let alone tensorflow-probability. AutoBNN is a JAX library and has nothing to do technica…

The big question is whether we really want more centralised cloud applications of this sort in the AI future, with its potentially exacerbated risks of data breaches, identity thef…

Bad analogy. Get in good shape to feel better, have more energy, be more attractive to other people, etc. There is no point of getting good at arithmetic today, indeed. I agree peo…

Ok, then what's the point of defining 'intelligence' out of existence, if neither LMs nor humans are 'intelligent'?

It might be that humanity becoming non-chauvinistic about their value is the necessary thing for survival.

You can't do it in your basement as of 2023 . Very important qualification. It's entirely plausible that continuous evolution of ML architectures will lead to general AI which anyo…

Or so their groupthink tells them.

Bingo. That's why working at all these companies is morally problematic. Unless software engineers "vote" by going to work elsewhere, this won't change. Looks for companies with so…

You have excellently described the job of business analysts and system architects, but this is not the job of 90% of programmers today, including senior-level. Part of this is alre…

There will be just a short transition period. In 10 years, AI will be writing most of code, and in 20 years - nearly all code. People will do only architecture/business analysis. N…
