As you may know, one of my (very geeky) interests is Approximate nearest neigbor methods, and I’m the author of a Python package called Annoy. I’ve also built a benchmark suite called ann-benchmarks to compare different packages. Annoy was the world’s fastest package for a few months, but two things happened. FALCONN (FAst Lookups of Cosine and Other Nearest Neighbors) is a new library based on Locality Sensitive Hashing.

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.

Cesare Garlati. Consumers need to understand that security problems don’t end with their laptops and phones, the same concerns are valid for any connected device in the home and the same security rationale must be applied, especially for routers where it is the first, last and only line of defense to every device in the home. Not attending to wireless network security is like leaving a door unlocked to your house, inviting cybercriminals in to access information on your life, family and finance

Multi-tenant architecture allows software vendors to realize tremendous efficiencies by maintaining a single application stack instead of separate database instances while meeting data privacy needs. When you use a data warehouse to power your multi-tenant analytics, the proper approach is vital. Multi-tenant analytics is NOT the primary use case with traditional data warehouses, causing data security challenges.

The Scala language has continued to gain popularity over the last several years, thanks to its excellent combination of functional and object-oriented software development principles, and its implementation on top of the proven Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Creating a language that compiles to Java bytecode requires a deep understanding of the inner workings of the Java Virtual Machine.

Are you someone who is described as action-oriented? Do you assess the many possible alternatives and options before ultimately taking action? I consider that one of the most beneficial aspects of good leadership is the ability (and willingness!) to assess options quickly and efficiently and guide your team through to completion. Knowing what the most appropriate and beneficial action is can be difficult, however this model may help.

In the last post , we looked at the changing relationship between people and possessions, particularly how the perception of land has changed. But there's more to this than just changes in dwelling and mortgage finance. Land was part of a land-labor-laborer troika, a relationship that has existed since the dawn of humanity. Land could feed and protect the laborer and be a means to a better life, but not without expending labor to till the soil and construct buildings.

Great leaders pattern themselves after (drumroll, please) themselves. As stated by Jim Rohn, noted business philosopher, “all great leaders keep working on themselves until they become effective.”. Yet a significant amount of the billions of dollars we spend each year on leadership training is not about working on ourselves but patterning our leadership on some other leader’s life, leadership model, or leadership principles.
