Twitter Revenue from Tools

SoCal CTO

Just read this article - Twitter sees tools, not ads, for revenue That could be really bad news. Part of the appeal of twitter is that it's a fairly open platform and that there are a lot of people building tools that live on top of the platform. If Twitter begins to charge for tools, they will likely need to lock away aspects of their platform to prevent other people from creating competitors to the tools they create.

scouchdb gets View Server in Scala

Ruminations of a Programmer

CouchDB views are the real wings of the datastore that goes into every document and pulls out data exactly what you have asked for through your queries. The queries are different from the ones you do in an RDBMS using SQL - here you have all the state-of-the-art map/reduce being exercised through each of the cores that your server may have. One very good part of views in CouchDB is that the view server is a separate abstraction from the data store.

5 great Web security blogs you haven't heard of

Jeremiah Grossman

I read a tremendous amount of online material, much of which originates from 200+ RSS feeds. Sure the well-known blogs continue to generate great timely content, but there are a few diamonds in the rough that don't get a lot of attention.

Peak Performance: Continuous Testing & Evaluation of LLM-Based Applications

Speaker: Aarushi Kansal, AI Leader & Author and Tony Karrer, Founder & CTO at Aggregage

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

“Consistency” Does Not Mean “Uniformity”

Code Simplicity

In a user interface, similar things should look the same. But different things should look different. Why do over 75% of Facebook’s users think that the new Facebook UI is bad? Because it makes different things look similar to each other. Nobody can tell if they’re updating their status or writing on somebody else’s wall, because even though the text is slightly different in the box depending on what you’re doing, the box itself looks the same.
