Tuesday, November 12, 2024 If Bluesky is open source, which it appears to be , someone who has time and has experience packaging products, should create a Bluesky distribution for a few popular hosting services, so installing a new instance is as simple as it can possibly be. One click? That would be awesome. We need to have thousands of these running. If it really is like the web, as they say it is, then it should be like the web in every way. There are lots of websites. If you sell your website to a billionaire, that has no effect on my website. Right now we are totally vulnerable to the Bluesky folk selling their service to another country, or our country for that matter -- or a billionaire, or whoever. Whoever did this packaging job would deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. Anticipating the objection that Mastodon is already doing this -- it is not. Setting up and using a Mastodon instance is good for nerds. Not for poets. # My guess is that they haven't released ...

Monday, November 11, 2024 Does anyone know who was doing the work at kamalahq on the various social networks? I wonder if they would like to keep posting. They stopped updating on Election Day. We could change the names of the accounts. I thought it was great that there was a steady source of political news that didn't equivocate like the NYT-inspired news orgs. I would love to help fund a continuation of that flow. # It might be time to get our shit together. # Linkblog items for the day.

Sunday, November 10, 2024 There's absolutely no doubt in my mind that what's missing in the two-party system in the US is that one of the parties does not own a social network. It is not represented online 7-by-24-by-12 every year, not just presidential election years. Democrats, when you lose it's because you didn't show up. It's happened three times so far, at least. We could have led here because most of the innovators in this space vote Democratic, but the leadership doesn't listen. The voters could get to know all the stars of the parties. People were right when they said they didn't know Harris. It's time to let the leaders rise from the net, not just from the insiders. This is how you do it. # Linkblog items for the day.

Saturday, November 9, 2024 ChatGPT's web search can search my blog, as I do on Google, but it's way more useful. Here's a screen shot . We're getting there. Really nice. # I'd like to hear from tech vendors, asap, which ones will help American voters learn what's true independent of whatever "truth" the government wants us to believe? Who will stand with the people? A good question for all of us to ask. Ask news orgs the same question. # It's worth listening to On The Media , interview with Masha Gassen , saying that the authoritarian government will want to define what's true and not. Since we now understand that most of the information flow now goes around the NYT, CNN etc -- even Fox, and largely through social web and podcasts, if that's where we're all getting our news from, and btw MSNBC are already pretty well limited in what they'll tell us (this was our beef with NYT if you recall) -- the next step is to ...

Friday, November 8, 2024 BTW, there's a lot of talk about new ways to communicate that don't depend on silos that could be sold to billionaires. One way to do it is with my product FeedLand . It manages news streams for feeds you subscribe to. I think every publication should share news from feeds they depend on, experts they quote, other news sources they read. We can build our own networks this way. We've done it before and can do it again. The advantage of this approach is that it is truly decentralized and not at all complicated to use. Here's the news stream I provide for readers of my blog. It's the most popular feature on the site. With FeedLand you can create your own . # Democratic mistakes # I've actually written a lot, but haven't wanted to publish most of it. So many reasons why the Dems lost. Maybe I should just list them. # Biden shouldn't have run again. There would have been a primary. Given the resul...

23ai Vector Search & RAG

23ai Vector Search & RAG Nov 7, 2024 · 10 min read Introduction In my previous post, 23ai Vector / Semantic Search in APEX , I described how to incorporate 23ai Vector Search into your APEX Applications. In this post, I will take this solution further and explain how to combine Vector Search with Generative AI to build a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solution. 💡 I recommend you read the previous post before this one. What is RAG? Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is a technique in natural language processing (NLP) that combines retrieval-based methods with generative models to produce more accurate, contextually relevant, and up-to-date responses . The core idea behind RAG is to enhance the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) by providing access to external knowledge sources during the response generation process (this is where 23ai comes in). For this post, we will create a RAG solution for APEX Developer Blogs. We will use 23ai Vector Sear...
