What is #MariaDB #AI RAG? What can I do with it? MariaDB AI RAG simplifies the creation of #GenAI applications by turning complex data into a single, easy-to-use REST service. @alejandro_du has the answers to all things AI RAG: bit.ly/4kV4nKZ

🤓 The truck (or bus) factor measures the number of key people who would need to be lost before a software project is seriously compromised or unable to continue. This paper from 2016 proposes a method for estimating this factor. arxiv.org/pdf/1604.06766

.... and of course it failed because I didn't cd 🤦‍♂️ too eager!

Here we go...

It's happening. The JVM will enable both CPU and GPU execution :-) openjdk.org/projects/babyl… "Java for the AI world" #java #AI #GPU

Something similar almost happened to me once while I was playing with the #MariaDB MCP Server. Fortunately, I was running it in read-only mode, and the project was a simple demo. It was an eye opener nevertheless.

⚠️ Be very, very careful with "YOLO modes" when running AI agents. This kind of thing happens. See this GitHub issue for a real-life example: github.com/google-gemini/… #aifails #ai #mcp #devops

Developer Relations (#DevRel) is about building technical trust in a technology and driving its adoption. It is not: ❌ a lead-generation machine ❌ traditional marketing ❌ pure engineering And one more thing. There is no such thing as "DevRels". There are DevRel Engineers!

Lazydocker doesn't provide a built-in option for running new containers. Here's how to add it. youtube.com/watch?v=slasCL…

Nearly 20 years ago, the creator of MySQL and MariaDB, Michael “Monty” Widenius, successfully forked MySQL. 🤯 🔍There’s been a lot of discussion about “hard” and “soft” forks related to MySQL. Now, he’s exploring the evolution of #MySQL forks and the transition of #MariaDB into an independent branch. Learn why 350+ million installations have already made the switch: bit.ly/4092bpm

@simas_ch Yes. If someone runs a comparable, peer-reviewed benchmark that includes GraalVM under the same methodology that'd be interesting.

@alejandro_du What's missing is Java compiled with GraalVM. The study is nearly 10 years old
