But why is that? I’m sure it’s the ‘best’ way to do things, but it also means more infrastructure which for simple apps isn’t worth the hassle.

I should use redis for queues but often I’ll just use a table in a SQLite database. For small scale projects I find it works fine, I’m wondering what an equivalent simple option for embeddings would be.

Can someone explain? Why is a rice cooker needed? Like, why a special pot to cook rice, specifially? I eat plenty of rice -basmati, brown basmati, brown long-grain, carolina, bomba paella, arborio, etc etc. I boil it in a simple pot where I also boil everything else. It cooks just fine. I make pilafs (in my French oven!), Greek stuffed veg, egg fried rice (with last day's rice obviously), risotto, Persian tahdig with saffron, you name it. I really don't think there's ever any problem with my rice.

So why is everyone using special cookers? What's the secret?
