• txtai: Vector search, Knowledge Graphs, RAG and LLM workflows locally run

  Hello, author of txtai here. Txtai was created back in 2020 starting with semantic search of medical literature. It has since grown into a framework for vector search, retrieval augmented generation (RAG) and large language model (LLM) orchestration. The goal of txtai is to be simple and easy-to-use. Semantic Graphs were added in 2022 before the Generative AI wave of 2023/2024. Knowledge Graphs are now a hot... - Source: Hacker News / 2 days ago

• What contributing to Open-source is, and what it isn't

  I tend to agree with this sentiment. Many junior devs and/or those in college want to contribute. Then they feel entitled to merge a PR that they worked hard on often without guidance. I'm all for working with people but projects have standards and not all ideas make sense. In many cases, especially with commercial open source, the project is the base of a companies identity. So it's not just for drive-by ideas to... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Bootstrap or VC?

  Bootstrapping only works if you have the runway to do it and you don't feel the need to grow fast. With NeuML (https://neuml.com), I've went the bootstrapping route.

VC funding can have... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Ask HN: What happened to startups, why is everything so polished?

  I agree that in many cases people are puffing their feathers to try to be something they're not (at least not yet). Some believe in the fake it until you make it mentality. With NeuML (https://neuml.com), the website is a simple HTML page. On social media, I'm honest about what NeuML is, that I'm in my 40s with a family and not striving to be the next Steve Jobs. I've been able to build a fairly successful open... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Can i log data into excel/csv using aws?

  I would highly recommend using a proper Time Series Database like QuestDB or InfluxDB to do this instead. You can always export data from wither of those two into Excel if your boss wants it in excel, but it's much easier to do data transformations, create graphs and reports, etc. If you have all the data in a proper database.

• How to stream IoT data into Excel

  I would suggest using something better suited to IoT data than ... a spreadsheet. I'd recommend looking at one of the Time Series Databases for this. 1) QuestDB or 2) InfluxDB as these are much better suited to streaming data. Source: over 2 years ago
