TIL this week: LLMs (or at least gpt4-o) are pretty good at interpreting markdown tables. And docling makes it super easy to get PDFs/HTML pages into markdown format.
I made a short video showing how to query Wikipedia pages - www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGz-...
THREAD: How to check if the screenshot of a social media post is real or fake?
Fake screnshots of online posts regularly mislead people. So, here's a simple guide on how you can quickly check if a screenshot of a post attributed to an account is genuine or fake before falling for or sharing it.
Good luck!
Github Receipts. Nice idea! 😊
gitreceipt.vercel.app
Screenshot of hero generator with a dorky button that says "when a hero comes along" har har
If you're making a side project today or a personal site that needs a hero image, I made this lil hero generator a while back: hero-generator.netlify.app
Enjoy!
Fargo, Severance, Black Mirror, Atlanta, Master of None, Euphoria – they all left their fans waiting for three years or more between seasons. In fact, we're waiting longer than ever for TV shows to return, as @lisacmuth.bsky.social shows in her Weekly Chart: blog.datawrapper.de/waittime-for...
That you can build Twitter (bsky) with 20 people instead of 2000 means bsky can pursue monetization models that Twitter never could. This is a pattern I see across many startups now. Tech has gotten good enough to ship products at 10x-100x less cost compared to 20 years ago. 1/n
So many products today are described as "AI x". But it should be possible to state it's value without the implementation detail that is "AI", right?
Similar how we don't necessarily prefix other software products with "software".
ClickHouse doesn't have a PIVOT operator, but we can achieve similar behavior using aggregate function combinators. In our latest video, we use the -Map suffixed functions to explore house prices in the UK.
In this week's video, I played around with a library called burr. It's a state machine library that you can use to build LLM apps where you want some human input/decision making built in.
I only scratched the surface, but it was already pretty cool.

Something interesting is brewing in Iceberg-on-S3 land. 👀

The ClickHouse 24.11 community call has just got underway.
Join us on Zoom: clickhouse.com/company/even...
Or YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hpT...
I've done a bunch of videos if you like videos! youtube.com/playlist?lis...
I want to see a screenshot or photo of a project that you've never published anything online about before
Look , I love #duckdb and all, but #daft is going a beautiful job with Iceberg rest catalog

I had the pleasure of joining @joereis.bsky.social on his podcast a couple of weeks ago. We discussed many topics, including big shifts in data ecosystem and approaches to commercializing open source. Check it out! open.spotify.com/episode/3GyW...
That's like a live sentiment tracker. You could make an emoji index. If it correlated with consumer confidence, which it should lead, it would be an interesting market indicator. #Rstats #dataBS
And @christiannolan.bsky.social's one too bsky.app/starter-pack...
I like @chris.blue's starter kit bsky.app/starter-pack...
uv makes it so easy to go zero to MRE
say i find bug in foo==x.y.z, i can repro with:
uv run \
--with foo==x.y.z \
repro.py
RuntimeError: oh no!
test the branch with a fix:
uv run \
--with foo@git+https://{giturl}.git@hotfix-foo \
repro.py

just used this today!

So on further thought: I wonder why this is happening for you: I’m following *gob-tons* of people now, and my feed is practically overwhelmed with cool AI stuff.
Maybe you should follow a bunch of people I am following ;)
ICYMI I recently interviewed the creator of @clickhouse.com, Alexey Milovidov.
We dove deep into what ClickHouse is so fast, why AI companies love it (hint: its had a vector data type since 2012), rewriting Zookeeper (yikes), and how math informs database design.

Do not miss @clickhouse.com meetup on Dec 12 in SF 🎄
All 3 founders will be there, our CTO Alexey is giving a talk on ClickHouse+AI, and you'll also hear from users like Doordash.
Register now, space is limited - ty @cloudflare.social for hosting! www.meetup.com/clickhouse-s...
This chart is pretty insane. More of an overnight social/political-type shift than typical tech adoption imo: techcrunch.com/2024/11/19/b...
Updates for my database starter pack and list:
- Added @clickhouse.com
- Added @memgraph.com
Welcome to join the bluesky, let's rock!
go.bsky.app/Nd8hieE
My @clickhouse.com colleague @tbragin.bsky.social (VP Product/Marketing) has joined Blue Sky as well. Can you add her too if there's space?
He's a step slower than he used to be and his shots seem to fall a lot shorter than did in his prime
@xuanwo.io can we add @clickhouse.com to your database list?
I don't know if he'll join as himself, but he is posting from the ClickHouse handle!
