So it is ... I have a new profile pic :)

Thanks a lot #DevoxxGR for the nice pictures taken during my workshop. I especially like the last one, seriously thinking to use it as my new profile pic 😉

Mario Fusco 🇪🇺🇺🇦 Heinz Kabutz 🏝 🇬🇷 🇿🇦 ☕️ Reminds me of this Kent Beck 🌻 tweet. In a tech world where AI redefines our value, obtaining that crucial 10% of expertise is a a huge challenge for junior developers!

Mario Fusco 🇪🇺🇺🇦 Current LLM architectures are very primitive, here is a great video on this topic: m.youtube.com/watch?v=5t1vTL…

Either LLM algorithms and patterns are still in their early days or I'm skeptical that they can go much further than where they are today. Now the only thing that seems to matter is brute force in the form of how many billions or trillions of params they have. Can't be only that.

Yesterday evening the first public Italian channel had a round table on abortion. Look at participants. I bet this happens not only in Italy, but in the same way all around the world. And this is basically also the only reason why we're still discussing about it.

Just finished a 2 hours long workshop on benchmarking at #DevoxxGR . I'm a bit exhausted now, but it was very rewarding too 👍 If you're interested my slides are here

Hallvard Trætteberg Mario Fusco 🇪🇺🇺🇦 QuarkusIO Georgios Andrianakis I fully agree, 'Hello World' RAG works really well... but then you have all the corner cases. That's why I developed an OSS RAG Genie Eval system 👇

Having the best trained AI models doesn't worth much if you also don't provide convenient ways to use them.

A complex system that works is always the evolution of a simple system that worked.

Do things in small steps.

Attending a tech conference these days, where at least half of the speakers is busy trying hard to convince you that your job will be totally replaced by machines in a few years, is becoming quite stressful 😱

Really impressed by QuarkusIO easy RAG extension: literally zero code, you just put the documents to be ingested in a folder, configure it in a property and you're done. Great job Georgios Andrianakis! #DevoxxGR

Clear and informative talk on the present and future of the Java language (as usual) by Brian Goetz at #DevoxxGR ... but I'm so brainwashed these days that I was almost about to ask 'seriously Brian, not even a word on LLM and generative AI?' 😂

One of the reason why Java is so successful for so many years is in the principles followed to evolve the language #DevoxxGR

During my talk at #DevoxxFR yesterday, I open-sourced the RAG Eval Prototype that I've been developing over the past few months!

Let me put this class in a package named internal, so it will be clear that the users of my library should not, under any circumstances, access it directly 🤡
