However to drive their wide scale adoption, they also need employees who can collaborate effectively with the technology. To bridge that gap, companies can use upskilling to retain talent, mitigate risks to the business, and allow employees to grow their careers. One place that IT leaders have been eliminating toil from is the Network Operation Center (NOC).

On The Marketing Mix podcast, Charley Karpiuk advises against using LLMs to write marketing copy, and he proposes an interesting rule: Machines should write for machines — e.g. by creating metadata — and people should write for people. That sounded like good advice, and I resolved to follow it, but in the thick of the website makeover discussed last time, I found myself bending the rule.

In a move to ease use for large-scale data analysis work, the Python Steering Council has elected to drop the lock on Python that restricts a Python user program to using only a single thread. This restriction has become a serious performance impediment for running Python code across multicore CPUs, which is to say most all CPUs sold today. CPython is the reference implementation of Python.

Will Elon Musk actually destroy Twitter? CSAM poster re-instatement, “absolute free speech,” talent-gutting, massive advertiser exodus … What does it take to kill the bird? Yup. He borked it into a death spiral the instant he signed on as CEO. Essentially, yes. It’ll take a while to descend into its radioactive Xesspool destiny, but it’s inevitable it will join the ranks of 4chan, 8chan, Nchan, Xchan … Please yes, and quickly. I’m just done with all this stupid drama over this stupid little app.

The Docker Desktop has a number of cool features aimed at making container development more efficient and easier. One such feature is called Dev Environments (still in beta), which allows you to create a configurable development environment using a locally deployed, self-contained container and simplifies the process of sharing code and dependencies with a team and even switching between branches.

Large language models (LLMs) are trending, and we’re facing a new paradigm of language applications like ChatGPT. Vector databases will be a core part of the stack. So, it’s important to understand vectors and why they are important. This project demonstrates the difference in vector embeddings between models and shows how to use multiple collections of vector data in one Jupyter Notebook.

Should JavaScript developers abandon libraries and write directly to the HTML Document Object Model? JavaScript co-founder Douglas Crockford recommends this approach as the best way to build web apps. Yes. Most JavaScript libraries are so bloated that it's easier to write directly to the DOM now. No, it's impractical. The DOM is imperative, not declarative. You need event handlers everywhere. No, because people won't learn the DOM — it's too weird. I dunno, I'm just here for the free beer.
