Hi, sharing something I've been working on for a while. CodeCrush runs locally and points to an LLM of your choice - so self-hosted, OpenAI, whatever you're comfortable with. It us…

I've been working on tools for 'understanding' software code for a couple years now. I have yet to find a better way to model actual concepts than with knowledge graphs. To that en…

I actually have created something very similar here: https://github.com/Black-Tusk-Data/crushmycode , although with a greater focus on 'pulling apart' the codebase for onboarding. …

This my most honest take on how effective Copilot can be if it's given an honest shake. Do you agree with my assessment?

Late chunking is a promising approach to computing text embeddings that incorporates more of the actual document into each chunk's embedding. I think it's pretty promising.

Mostly as an academic exercise, I built a much simpler implementation of the Microsoft GraphRAG implementation laid out in this paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.16130 . I find it …

This is a small book / guide I've written with the goal of demystifying the details of language models for developers without any ML / neural network experience. From my perspectiv…

I've always had view-mode come on by default, and I have a bunch of custom keybindings for view mode which are nicer on the hands when you're just reading text. So (add-hook 'find-…

I've been working in the Vancouver tech industry for 6 years this January, but have yet to feel as if I've 'connected' in any way with tech professionals outside of my coworkers. I…

I think I'd have to say NextJS with SQLite. Every DB table would just be 'id' and 'data', where 'data' is JSON-encoded and the schema is only enforced in code. This lets you write …

What about GCP?

I think below a certain threshold of competence, a manager will negatively impact the productivity of a team mostly by eroding any ability to focus on a single task at a time. A go…

I don't understand the lamentation over a culture of overwork. What other method is there to get ahead as an individual other than out-competing your peers? My understanding of lif…

So what are we supposed to do about it? Work less? Lol.

I think the use of government surveillance is less likely to be used to conduct drone strikes and far more likely to prompt a Tiananmen square esque response to dissent. Thus I wou…
