Transform your video library into a semantically searchable knowledge base using Whisper Turbo, Docling, and OpenRAG - all running locally
How we built an AI-powered deck battling game using OpenRAG for character storage and battle mechanics
I recently came across Render's new MCP service, and as an avid user of Render to deploy various Python and Javascript based applications, it seemed like a good time to check out how I could use it in my day to day operations. This blog post dives into my experience using this new service with Cursor, Warp, and Langflow and how I was able to use to improve my service with agents.
Hello again and welcome to part 2 of my 3 part series on moving from Cassandra tables to using DataStax Enterprise Search. If you haven't read part 1 yet go take a look as it contains the backstory for this series.
Hi there and welcome to part 1 of a three part series on upgrading our KillrVideo java reference application from Cassandra based tabular searches to using DSE Search.
Or rather I should be saying that to myself. So, TIL (today I learned) something simple yet profound while working with asynchronous programming and the DSE java driver. Ensure that you are properly iterating through your results when making an async call.
Looks like my nodes are healthy. :)
Alrighty, as I mentioned in my previous post I have a mixed-workload cluster (Cassandra, DSE search, DSE graph) using a combination of 4 Raspberry PI's and my laptop. I had multiple things in mind when I started into this.
