I made a neural network with physical knobs on it so I can get the feel for training a network.

Learn how AI works by training your own neural network by hand.

Hi HN, I built a draft protocol called AIP (Agentic Internet Protocol). The premise: instead of trying to make agents use human websites, build agent-only websites from the ground …

Thank you for the correction. I just assumed that the problems with the software were down to laziness on behalf of the devs, but from what you are saying, the devs are overworked …

Blog-rant about how much I hate Azure.

For other students reading this, here is how you can work as a software developer with no experience: start your own company (just make a website for it) and work as a freelancer o…

Ah, sorry, I forgot to mention it. The title will be "Enterprise RAG: Scaling Retrieval Augmented Generation"

Great, thank you! The main program is hosted on Azure Web Apps, the search is Azure AI Search, we use AutoGen for the agents, and we use OpenAI for the generation. Azure has a lot …

Ok so the company has like 20 databases, plus over 100,000 pages of PDF catalogs. We tried using agents to query the company's SQL databases, but that took 30 seconds each call, an…

EXCELLENT question. We tried about 5 different ways of retrieving data, and we found that what works best for us is a search-as-a-service. We use Azure AI Search, but there are lot…

How to start small in a very specific area: 1. Write down a list of 10 to 20 questions that you want your RAG to be able to answer. Then write down the correct answers next to each…

I’ve spent the past year and a half constructing a Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) chatbot for a Fortune 500 manufacturing company, integrating over 50 million records across …
