albert_e commented on AWS in 2025: Stuff you think you know that's now wrong   lastweekinaws.com/blog/aw... · Posted by u/keithly

A "Catch me up" on AWS (and for that matter other large platforms) would be very useful for many folks.

Ideally it should be a stream of important updates that can be interactively filtered by time-range. For example, if I have not been actively consuming AWS updates firehose for last 18 months, I should be able to "summarize" that length of updates.

Why this is not already a feature of "What's New" section of AWS and other platforms -- I dont know. Waiting to be built -- either by OEM or by the Community.

Well done.

Suggestion for extension --

During batch or sequential generation of multiple characters:

Mathematically constrain different characters to be dissimilar from each other.

This avoids different invaders from looking the same / indistinguishable / confusing to a human, by pure chance.

README.md should have been called HUMANS.md in retrospect

This is it. M365 uses RAG on your enterprise data that you allow it to access. It's not actually accessing the files directly in the cases he provided. It's working as intended.

If this is indeed how copilot is archtected, then it needs clear documentation -- that it is a non-audited data store.

But how then did MS "fix" this bug? Did they stop pre-ingesting, indexing, and caching the content? I doubt that.

Pushing (defaulting) organizations to feed all their data to Copilot and then not providing an audit trail of data access on that replica data store -- feels like a fundamental gap that should be caught by a security 101 checklist.

Is this the same "Deductive Database" mathematical programming language of Google DeepMind mentioned in the latest 3b1b guest video by Aleph0 (where they say the language doesnt have a name yet)

I think you meant "PEEK"

I assume it's my colorblindness, but on mobile when I move that slider back and forth I just see blue outlines appear around the countries with no other distinguishable changes.
albert_e · 11 days ago
I am not color blind AFAIK, and I had to move the slider back and forth many times to try to understand what they are trying to show (even though I kind of knew what to expect).

Not the best visualization I should say.

The colors could have been better used to highlight the difference IMO.

sidenote observation -

it seems username "anthropic" on github is taken by a developer from australia more than a decade ago, so Anthropic went with "https://github.com/anthropics/" with an 's' at the end :)

albert_e commented on LangExtract: Python library for extracting structured data from language models   github.com/google/langext... · Posted by u/simonpure
albert_e · 22 days ago
For complex business documents -- one approach was to use Named Entity Recognition to identify all entities and use that to build a knowledge graph to serve as a complementary repository of knowledge (in addition to the vector embeddings of semantic chunks) to aid RAG workflows.

Does this proposed approach complement this or supercede the need for NER / Knowledge Graph. Just wondering aloud. Appreciate any insights here.

Suggestion for an add-on feature ...

Youtube videos that are lectures with slide shows .. or PDF slide decks ..can also be a input / starting point..with some additional detection and parsing. Both can have multiple images in them.
