I am that weird guy who asks random questions to strangers. I recently had the opporunity to talk with a Japenese medium size business owner in a public transport. I always wanted to ask a question to a Japanese business owner, and I finally did. Me: I understand the idea of “Japanese humbleness,” but waht if I don’t want to clean the toilet and the surrounding area. He: Well, if all the employees are doing that, including the president, yo..

I’ve blogged about generic ways of getting top 1 or top n per category queries before on this blog. An Oracle specific version in that post used the arcane KEEP syntax: This is a bit difficult to read when you see it for the first time. Think of it as a complicated way to say … Continue reading Getting Top 1 Values Per Group in Oracle →

This has always been true, but it begs repeating: Every docstring should provide additional information about the thing that it is documenting, which is not obvious from the thing’s name and its type information. And the corollary: If an LLM could generate the same docstring for you , based on the name and type information alone, then the docstring is not adding any value . This applies independent of whether it was actu..

I’ve had some minor aches and injuries over the past few months. Nothing terrible. More like the Henny Youngmann joke . No long or fast running for a little while longer. Limited bench pressing and squats. If it hurts, don’t do it. That kind of thing. I found myself with time to fill. A specific kind of time. I needed something I could do on my own that requires focus. I’ve started writing more. For me, writing also means designing, co....

Hamel dives deep into how LLM frameworks like langchain , instructor , and guidance perform tasks like formatting the response in a valid JSON output. He intercepts the API calls from these Python libraries to shed some light on how many API calls (to OpenAI’s GPT services) they make and what prompt they use. I’ve always been skeptic of the usefulness of many of the LLM “wrapper” libraries, specially for larger and more serious proje..

I just had a very special delivery that I was looking forward to for a few days now. I received my Canon AE-1 Program from 1981. I’m drawn towards the simplicity, haptic, connectedness to the past and less arbitrariness of digital photography or life in general. Just a few months ago I also bought a new notebook, the Midori traveller’s notebook. Although I’ve been journaling on paper for a while now, I replaced digital notes with this as ....

I came across this Linkedin post from a Google engineer, on a new (in preview) and very interesting BigQuery syntax: GROUP BY ALL. This will save time when writing and specially modifying complex SQL queries on BigQuery. The GROUP BY ALL clause groups rows by inferring grouping keys from the SELECT items. It will exclude expressions with aggregate and window functions, constants, and query parameters for a smart GROUP BY. So instead of..

I set out a little over a week ago to add a service registry to Marginalia Search, primarily to reduce its dependence on docker. I would like it to be able to run on bare metal as well, which poses a problem since configuring the application manually is a bit of a headache with dozens of ports that need to be set up. It would also be desirable to be able to run multiple instances of important services in order elliminate downtime during upg..
