Just wanted to say that I've been really enjoying your updated website Average Database CEO and wish you all the best on your inevitable $1 Billion series C🚀 averagedatabase.com

Agents are dead, long live workflows

This is an ad for Synthesia 😬 It explains what we do and how we do it in exactly 53 seconds. So if you’re exploring Synthesia, or just need a refresher on how we can change your life, give it a watch 👀

Jammer This is the thing - actuarial data has no masters. Their accuracy is what they build business on, so it has to be right - and that no one reports on this is pretty unreal.

In Surrealist’s graph view, right-click a record and choose ‘Inspect’ to view its fields and relationships, then edit the entry without leaving the visualisation. Learn more about the visual IDE for our multi-model database. 👉 sdb.li/4dLLQNi

Workaccount2 on Hacker News just coined the term "context rot" to describe the thing where the quality of an LLM conversation drops as the context fills up with accumulated distractions and dead ends news.ycombinator.com/item?id=443087…

I'm 35. Most people spend their entire lives avoiding 9 uncomfortable truths. I wish I'd learned these earlier in my 20s:

GraphRAG leverages knowledge graphs to give LLMs richer context, producing more accurate and coherent answers. Learn how to build a GenAI chatbot with LangChain, ollama, and SurrealDB, step by step. 👉 sdb.li/4kAgJ9D

So many brilliant people get lost communicating their ideas, because they don't know how to tell a story. Each story follows a map. Show your listener the map first. Get them excited about the trip! Then, on the journey, point out the landmarks. Battles fought! Wins! Losses!

There's no easier way to get started with LangChain than with SurrealDB. In under 1 minute, you can store documents together with ollama generated embeddings, and do a similarity search to retrieve them. Learn more. 👉 sdb.li/4nvg0c9

Most companies are NOT ready for background agents

Quitting programming as a career right now because of LLMs would be like quitting carpentry as a career thanks to the invention of the table saw.

Surreal Cloud’s network capabilities make it possible to send and receive HTTP requests natively in-database securely and conveniently. AlexanderFridriksson shows you how to enable this. Spin up an instance and try it. 👉 sdb.li/44jcPeT

One thing my healed self will never understand is why people insist “pathological obsession w winning/money/doing” == good founder. Startups are businesses, but we treat them like zodiac signs. Guy’s probably not gonna die wishing he raised more seed rounds.
