Hey, I'm Matteo, co-founder of LangDB, an Open Source AI Gateway written in Rust.A few weeks ago, I built an AI agent named Amanda to do some low-key PR work for us. Her job? Scour Reddit for discussions on AI gateways and competitors to LangDB, then drop some subtle comments promoting LangDB.I ran Amanda for just a few hours as a demo. She found some relevant threads, left a couple of casual...

Agree. And thing I noticed is that tools like #apache spark have become the de-facto standard for any data engineer work even when data size does not require it. Result is that many jobs are much harder to mantain and often slower (due to all the shuffling) than running on a single node.

What is a real-time data cache and why do you need it?

Have you ever found yourself re-inventing the wheel as a data engineer to ultimately build some APIs?

Why not use Hasura, flink, elasticsearch and Airbyte.

All of the above are great tools and they are power packed with features. But as a data engineer, you still have to integrate many tools and put together an end-to-end solution. Check out this article where we describe our approach to deploying APIs.

How do companies do analytics on Blockchain?

I'm curious to know how companies do analytics on blockchain. Let me explain: Smart Contracts generate events which can be extremely useful for analytics. Is there an analytics platform leveraging these events to do analytics ?Thanks

Decentralised serverless functions for Blockchain apps

When you build a blockchain app, you still need a backend hosted somewhere to enable browser access. I had this idea of building a decentralised serverless FaaS specifically to host the frontend part of blockchain applications. Would like to get some feedback.

Re:Why do people say email is broken? on Thursday August 02, 2012 @04:49PM (#4330914)
I don't think email is broken. Personally a tool I really believe could somewhat replace email was Google Wave. It was a fantastic tool...just Google has not been able to market it. What I believe instead is that e-mail could be used as a transport for additional structured information. Today it happens with vCard, or ics but it could be much more I believe.

Big corporates + IT consultants = opportunity for entrepreneurs?

I'm a startupper and a geek. As most of you here I love solving problems. Sometimes I feel there are so many problems in the world that could be solved in a novel way, but since many of us don't have a domain specific knowledge that goes beyond CS or our everyday life, many problems of the industry remain unsolved or partially solved using old-style solutions.Think about all corporates paying...

Thoughts about IM and Social networking: MSN Messenger and Facebook

I wanted to share with you some of my feelings about the way Microsoft is responding to Facebook and social networking in general. MS tried to put some efforts in social networking (i.e. the recent investment in Facebook), but there is a question I've always asked myself: why isn't MS taking advantage of what it already has? I mean MSN messenger and all its user base. MSN Messenger is probably...
