“The other day, a customer tweeted at me, ‘are you a bot?’ At first I was really offended and wanted to tweet back “I AM NOT A BOT!” But when I thought about it some more, I got kind-of sad. I realized that by following the scripts and all the rules, I sounded very robotic. That’s not what our customers want or need. They come to social media because they want some upbeat and friendly interaction.

Annoy recursively builds up a tree given a set of points. The algorithm so far was: at every level, pick a random hyperplane out of all possible hyperplanes that intersect the convex hull given by the point set.

There’s a much simpler explanation that works for any queue. Let’s consider a supermarket checkout with two lines.

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.

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.

But do you know what answer I never hear?
