Writing a Vector Database in a Week in Rust
Vector databases are currently all the rage in the tech world, and it isn't just hype. Vector search has become ever more critical due to artificial intelligence advances which make use of vector embeddings. These vector embeddings are vector representations of word embeddings, sentences, or documents that provide semantic similarity for semantically close inputs by simply looking at a distance metric between the vectors.
The canonical example from word2vec in which the embedding of the word "king" was very near the resulting vector from the vectors of the words "queen", "man", and "woman" when arranged in the following formula:
Rule-Based Prompts: How To Streamline Error Handling and Boost Team Efficiency With ChatGPT
Personally, I have achieved outstanding results by incorporating ChatGPT into our team's workflow. This has enabled us to simplify the preparation of user stories and technical documentation, reduce the need for communication between various departments, and decrease our dependence on analysts. In this article, I will provide a specific example that will illustrate just how we achieved all of these goals with the help of ChatGPT and the rule-based prompts.
The Challenges of Constructing Effective Prompts
When interacting with ChatGPT and other generative models, the main goal is to achieve the best possible results based on prompts. However, there are some challenges in constructing prompts that will ensure the AI follows instructions correctly. Issues often arise due to the structure of the prompt, causing the AI to either not fully follow the request or focus on unnecessary ‘noisy’ words.
Unlocking Game Development: A Review of ‘Learning C# By Developing Games With Unity’
I've recently had the pleasure of immersing myself in Harrison Ferrone's Learning C# by Developing Games with Unity. I'd heard it was a great primer for those of us eager to get our feet wet in the gaming industry, and I can now confirm it's a game changer.
This book wasn't just written for tech-savvy gamers. It was written for the curious beginner, the coding newbie, and the Unity novice. Ferrone breaks down intimidating coding concepts into bite-sized, digestible chunks, making this complex world not only accessible but actually enjoyable.
