My theory is Redis is trying to take control over all popular libraries that interface with it so it can break protocol level compatibility to force vendor lock-in
Are there many redis drop-ins alternatives?

The superposition and comparison of both images (exhibit B) is incredible how they got each background star exactly in the same place
How long did it take you to check the positions of all starts? :D
I thought llamacpp didn't support images yet, has that changed or ollama is using a different library for this?

I introduced my wife to ChatGPT. A week later she told me “ChatGPT is everything I always wanted Google to be”.
It was a much more enlightening comment than any detailed review or analysis could provide me.
That quickly, over a decade of built up user engagement vanished.
At least Google is still "usable" meanwhile Youtube search became the biggest piece of cr*p ever produced: "Shorts" "People like you also like this completely unrelated content" "Do you want results? haha, here you have home results as well".
Kinda sad because it was amazing before.

Many others including myself have made this observation. I think I've finally formulated why there seems to be such a stark difference between FE and BE/systems cultures.
The backend and systems programmers are still writing code in a programming language.
So much of FE dev now is stringing together other people's declarative frameworks. When programming is done it's mostly glue. So if you exist in this paradigm you're going to have very strong opinions about whatever framework/tech you are using because it's so hard to operate outside of it. You also gain a vested interest in the survival of whatever you've chosen.
This is why I've been slowly trying to make the transition out of web dev, at least FE. I don't want to deal with this crap anymore!
I see BE coding more and more in configuration files nowadays YMMV.

man, at first glance doesnt look like a lot of work to add support to linux.
It’s a regression model. You don’t “need” AI for anything. But using ML to identify thresholds for decision making is extremely useful.
I don’t like calling everything AI, but I’m even more irritated by people that don’t understand the value of simple ML models for low hanging fruit decisions like the one shown here
Isn't regression a basic AI? Most traditional ML algorithms are advanced regression models (how we draw the line/planes)

This isn't recommended practice really and there is nothing about this which justifies having to maintain huge code bases in a single folder or multiple folders in one larger one.
Won't be surprised to see that many would probably need a safari map or README documentation in every single folder to navigate a repository as large as stripes.
Sounds like an emergence of a new bad practice if you are having to praise how large your code base is.
imo monorepos are great, but the tooling is not there, especially the open-sourced ones. Most companies using monorepos have their own tailored tools for it.
