Saturday, October 26, 2024 I bet Bezos wishes he owned Twitter instead of Musk. # Will there be Nazi flags at Trump's Madison Square Garden rally? # Lots of Yankees fans at the Garden yesterday to see the great Knicks team of last year show up for the first time. The game in Boston on Tuesday was disheartening. It's a new team with the core of last year's team. And when the fans started roaring when there was nothing happening on the court, last night at the (NY) Garden, it was because the Yankees had scored in the World Series game 2794 miles away in Los Angeles. This is the inconvenience of being a Knicks fan who hates the freaking Yankees. We have to share an NBA team. The Knicks are much more like the Mets than that other team. That's why it's so incredible to see the 2024 Knicks be able to manage both ends of the court, and completely shut down a team that last year beat them in playoffs, the Pacers, just like last year, but better. A vali...

Friday, October 25, 2024 Tonight's song: Unbroken Chain . # Maybe political parties should have strongmen, that might have prevented us from having one as the head of the government. # I just changed the header graphic for my blog from the 1969 Mets , to the 2024 Supreme Court . They're Americans too, and I have a feeling they're going to be on the train to Aurora or Springfield before too long, if the worst happens. # What a sad situation. What started with the open web in the 90s is now owned by billionaires, who, looking for new worlds to conquer have adopted a fascist buffoon as their frontman. It was never supposed to be owned by anyone. # Journalism dies in darkness # The Washington Post announcing it wouldn't endorse a candidate for president is the first glimpse we've had of how news publishing in the US has been devastated by fear of fascism. This must go back at least as far as the 2016 election and Hillary's emails ...

23ai Vector / Semantic Search in APEX Oct 24, 2024 · 15 min read Introduction With the introduction of Oracle Database 23ai, AI Vector Search or Semantic search is now within easy reach of all APEX developers. This provides more options for improving search and a mechanism to perform the first step of RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) without reaching outside the database. This post will focus on setting up a Vector/Semantic search using Oracle DB 23ai and APEX. I will illustrate the steps using blog posts from my APEX Developer Blogs site. In my next post, I will elaborate and show you how to use the Vector Search results to improve results from LLM-based questions using Retrieval Augmented Generation or RAG. Terms Before getting into the details, I need to define some terms that will be used throughout this post. Semantic Search Semantic search is a technique that uses natural language processing to understand the intent and contextual meaning behind search qu...

Wednesday, October 23, 2024 If only voters understood that government isn't a TV show. # Last night I was surprised to see Wolf Blitzer reporting, on CNN, on all the worst things Trump has said, with supporting video. On CNN, one of the worst sanewashing sources for our would-be despot. I can't imagine what happened there. Or maybe I can. Is it possible that the owners of CNN who might have gotten an education and possibly studied a little history from teachers who remembered WW II, and understood that Trump's lines are straight from Mein Kampf , and maybe perhaps possibly maybe with only two weeks to go before the election started envisioning themselves and family on trains to American death camps. After all CNN ran some perceivably negative stuff about Trump, and who knows maybe President Trump won't be so discerning and might just have all media people euthanized. It could happen . Maybe visions of their own mortality caught up with them and they ...

Read this on my blog Hey all! This week I started working on the final session for Advanced Frontend Testing in Vue. These exercises are focused on e2e testing and best practices, and are the last pieces of material for the course. After that, I'm working on getting all of this testing material ready and polished so I can get it out to you! I've also got two conferences in November —  Nuxt Nation and VueConf Toronto — and I'm looking forward to both! I'm also in the early processes of figuring out the update for Mastering Nuxt. But since Nuxt 4 isn't even out yet, I'm not sure what the timeline will be on that. Anyone who has bought Mastering Nuxt 3 will get it as a free update, so you can scoop it up on a good Black Friday sale and still get the new stuff! As always, I've got some tips and articles for you. I've also got a great podcast episode with my friend Eduardo San Martin Morote (author of Vue Router and Pinia). Have a ...
