I set up KoaPerf to be Local-AI based. - Local sentence transformer model (all-MiniLM-L6-v2).- Local RAG system with hardcoded knowledge bases.- AI-powered container service recommendations. Dependencies are transformers, sentence-transformers,. langchain (all for local

I configured KoaPerf (AIOps for figuring out where to run containerized workloads) with Transformers. A local sentence transformer model is a type of neural network that converts text into dense vector representations (embeddings) that capture semantic meaning. These models run.

This type of data is special in the sense that it's not traditional data we would store in a relational database, which is why you hear the term "vector" a lot. Vector databases "store" the vector data that comes from the embedding (which translates text, images, etc. into what.

Embedding modules for an AI app are a way to translate text, images, prompts, etc. into a format that the AI app can understand. Kind of like how compilers translate code we write into bytecode so the computer can read it. The "technical difference is that embeddings are more.

Alright, I’m officially sold on using Nix and Taskfiles for local development.

I just made some enhancements to KoaPerf, the application I wrote to help you know the best place to deploy containerized workloads. ✅ LLM/RAG workloads for AIOps underneath the hood to help you figure out the best place to deploy based on performance and cost.✅ Python

Being a good engineer isn't about being better than everyone else. It's not about getting ahead of others. It's about going the distance. It's about not quitting when things get tough. When you're sitting there reading about a particular area of software engineering and.

My content may not be the "most hyped" or "buzzy" or "have the most views/likes", but it helps people. And that's all I care about. I'd rather get 1 view and help 1 person than put out buzzy/hype BS that helps no one.

Hm, I think it might be a PowerShell thing. PowerShell may not be fully compatible with a recursive algorithm (a function being called within it's function).

Alright. this is weird. GitHub Copilot. well, idk if it's Copilots problem or Claudes problem (using a Claude Model). Thinks a recursive algorithm is an "issue to fix". Very strange.

What's your "superpower"?. Mine is being able to context switch and "know a little bit about everything". For example, in a one week span (because I'm a consultant), I did the following:. 1. A massive overhaul in a Helm/ArgoCD configuration with 50+ microservices. 2. Blue/green.

I was working on something today that I haven't done in a WHILE. Systems hardening and pentesting Windows environments. I put together a super quick guide if anyone is planning on hardening a Windows environment and needs some quick tips.
