2023 is shaping up to be a challenging year for early-stage digital health startups due to longer sales cycles, rising interest rates, and lower funding compared to 2021. However, experienced investors see the long-term potential in the industry. Building a successful digital health startup involves surrounding yourself with a team that understands both tech and […]
The author has been a supporter of the data mesh paradigm since its inception, emphasizing its four main pillars: domain-oriented design, data-as-a-product, federated computational governance, and self-service data platforms. However, the implementation of a data mesh transformation plan remains elusive in many organizations. The author suggests starting the journey towards data mesh by focusing on […]
As a civilian, Ulysses S. Grant struggled to make money despite his military success and two-term presidency. After investing his life savings in a Wall Street firm that led to his financial ruin, he turned to writing his memoirs to support his family. Grant’s reputation as a military leader was unparalleled, with his humble, risk-taking […]
The author admits to being a bit of a “brat” when it comes to tech talks, preferring online recordings over live events for the speed control feature, and criticizing common strategies like over-reliance on memes and puns. Instead, the author advocates for surprising the audience with new information, focusing on examples rather than general context, […]
pylyzer is a static code analyzer/language server for Python written in Rust, offering faster performance than other tools like pytype and pyright due to being implemented in Rust. It can detect issues like out-of-bounds accesses and nonexistent keys in dicts, providing clear error messages for easier debugging. While similar to Ruff, pylyzer focuses on type […]
My startup, Gettruss.io, has been utilizing OpenAI models, primarily GPT-4 and GPT-3.5, focusing on text analysis and extraction for our B2B use case. We’ve found that being less specific in prompts produces better results, revealing GPT’s higher-order thinking. We’ve also discovered that features like Langchain and embeddings are unnecessary for our needs. Additionally, we’ve noticed […]
I created a meme search engine using siglip/CLIP and vector encoding images, learning a lot in the process. Vector embeddings have always fascinated me, and the magic of transforming text or images into numerical representations using techniques like Word2Vec is mind-blowing. Through my project, I delved into concepts like vector databases, OpenAI’s CLIP model, and […]
Python has introduced advanced static types for matrix multiplication using Numpy’s np.ndarray type, specifying input and output shapes and data types. However, most of the numpy API currently does not utilize these type parameters. The author delves into topics such as prototypical inheritance in JavaScript, probabilistic pub quizzes, COVID-19 simulation strategies, phishing vulnerabilities, and hacker […]
This web content by Oscar Toledo G. showcases a port of the Ray Tracer in Atari 8-bit BASIC by D. Scott Williamson into a boot sector. Toledo G. made changes to the original code to adapt it to a smaller size and improved efficiency. Surprisingly, the animation runs in real-time on modern computers, even on […]
