Let’s Build a Web App for Pinecone / / No Comments Yesterday I blogged about Pinecone’s excellent RAG as a service system for quickly building generative AI systems: "Checkout Pinecone for Serverless RAG". It was so easy, I decided to take a look into what it would take to build a "real" application around their service. With that in mind, I whipped up a quick Flask application to demo just that. I’m still very new to Flask, so take this with a grain of salt, and design isn’t my strong point, but who cares, let’s dig in! First off, a quick reminder of what I demonstrated yesterday. I used Pinecone’s Python SDK to: Create an "Assistant", which you can think of as a collection of documents. I... more → Posted in: JavaScript Tagged with: Build, Lets, Pinecone
Next CodeBreak – Let’s AI! / / No Comments Hey folks! One of the things I promised to do better with the Code Break show was scheduling. With that being said, I’m here to announce the next event and I’ve got about 4 already on the calendar after that. Hopefully this year I can get a bit more consistent with schedule. That being said, we’ll see. Life is crazy at times. 😉 Ok, with that out of the way, my next session is Tuesday, January 21, at 12PM CST. I’ll be talking about AI, specifically Generative AI, with a focus on Google Gemini, but also client-side stuff as well (with Chrome’s built-in support and Transformers.js). I imagine this topic will cover two or more sessions. We’ll see how much I... more → Posted in: JavaScript Tagged with: CodeBreak, Lets, Next
Let’s Map Traffic Incidents… Again / / No Comments This blog has been around for a while (twenty one years currently) so it isn’t too uncommon for me to revisit old topics and demos and rebuild them. I think today’s post may be something of an outlier though. Way back in 2010, early 2010, I built a Proof of Content 911 Viewer that wrapped a local police department’s web site, lafayette911.org. Note the cute disclaimer at the bottom of the site saying you have to ask permission to link to it. Tell me you don’t know how the internet works without telling me you don’t know how it works. Anyway, back in 2010 I used Yahoo Pipes (pour one out for a cool as heck web service) to scrape the data and store it in a database.... more → Posted in: JavaScript Tagged with: Again, Incidents, Lets, Traffic
