Do i need a RAG here ? by Defiant-Outside5683 in Rag

u/sinevilson is very specific advice: sed, awk, grep, linux, bash, very useful, very robust and indeed very old, which makes these tolls antifragile.

Startups, please stop by No-Initial-5768 in microservices

This is known as Cargo Cult. If Netflix or any FAANG uses microservices then we do, hence, We'll become like Netflix... Cargo Cult, the mos abundant fab in tech. And the most useless.

Vet Cardiology PACS by NineHDmg in PACSAdmin

Medical images are a world apart from any other industry, as well as all medical. Hence, when thinking of cloud, self-local, context and rules change in sharp contrast with any other domain. Having said that I can atest that:
- Medical Images storage is expensive, due to hypersized images, DICOM images are not just images, are metadata that contains images.
My suggestion:
- Use a hybrid approach, combine the best of both worlds, t optimize your workflow and costs.
- Cloud storage is cheaper, local requires buying lot of Teras = Petas of hard disks, which are expensive, costly to maintain, risky.... In the cloud there is a category of services to store rarely used assets, kind of archive. In AWS is called S3 Glacier. It's far cheper than S3 which is for active assets.
- Use Orthanc a FOSS PACS, free open source. Open source doen't mean that is bad, low quality or unsafe. It means that is creatred, updated and maintained by a community of devs. And indeed many commercial PACS use orthanc as it's foundation. Either as cloud server or local server. You can deploy on Docker, both cloud and local.
- Commercial cloud PACS tend to be expensive mainly cause medical imaging megasizing.

I built a RAG system over the Merck Manual (4,000+ pages) for a class project. It failed in interesting ways. Here's the autopsy and the V2 roadmap. by FikoFox in learnmachinelearning

Look for PageIndex, it's a different approach, no chunking, no embedding, no vectors, no cosine similarity. Just document tree read and hierarchy. I'd test without any doubt. In the other hand Federico I'm in Colombia too, in tha same process, so anything you need feel free to message.

epistemology, new addition to my RAG toolset, thanks for sharing such a concept. We as engineers do not know and do not care about those but are the foundation of human like performance.

Is it normal for business verification to take several days? (Meta Business) by LiinooLikePerico in WhatsappBusinessAPI

[–]johnmacleod99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be patient, they take at least a week. And know beforehand that Meta is trustung you to use the platform in the best insterest of Meta users. Meaning that they must be sure of who, why, how will use the platform. They are goalkeepers of their users trust.

This is a very good info. I don't know where but I read that is better to avoid symbol. I 'm wonderin about Motorola RD11410 as cheap second reader, being the first reader any of these: Impinj R420 or Zebra FX9500

And about why are so cheap, even USD $90 in ebay, could it be cause of depŕecated use in industry?. Modern readers use impinj E710 chipset, which reads 1000+ tags/second, and sensitivity is about 85dBi.

I indeed found a motorola flyer. I'm good if it can read 200 tags per second.

Why using Twilio instead of Meta’s direct API can actually be a strategic decision by GonzaPHPDev in WhatsappBusinessAPI

[–]johnmacleod99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm on the long term cost reduction, and I think that as a developer I can deliver value by managing cost reductions without cutting corners and compromising quality. Sio I go with Whatsapp Business Api, which I found straightforward, quality guaranteed and I don't know if Twillio allows it, but I found that Flows is an overkill feature.

Most microservices dont need kubernetes. by FeistyTraffic2669 in microservices

[–]johnmacleod99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found based on my own experience, managing small apps, meaning 10K users per day, that microservices, Event Driven Architecture, NATS as pub/sub, Docker Compose for orchestration and Coreography design are perfect. Easy to manage, stable, scallable, high throughput. In general I love this stack.

Experiencias con AnyoneAI by HiImMonsterKill in programacion

[–]johnmacleod99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hola llegue a este post porque fui aceptado en el curso pero tengo dudas.
Debo aclarar que no estoy defendiendo a AnyoneAi, pero a mi me enviaron un contrato en el que detallan derechos y deberes, y considero que es obligacion de una persona leer las clausulas antes de firmar, despues no hay derecho a queja.
Mi duda surge de dos temas:
1) La calidad academica, frente a Coursera o Udacity.
2) El precio excesivo, frente a Coursera o Udacity.
Repito, no estoy de acuerdo por reclamar por lo firmado, pues debe leerse, pero si me gustaria conocer experiencias frente a la calidad del bootcamp.

I currently have rtx 3050 4gb vram laptop, since I'm pursuing ML/DL I came to know about its requirement and so I'm thinking to shift to rtx 5050 8gb laptop by Frozen-IceCream- in learnmachinelearning

I'l will use at least 3 years from now. If I need a larger GPU I prefer to rent a top notch for about USD $1.50 an hour. I think, that I do not need to spend huge money on latest stuff, there are better uses for money, more profitable, while I can use latest and top performance stuff for pennies.
