I spy a #jinaai model on elastic cloud 🙃

TIL about pyinfra — ansible but python instead of yaml and a lot faster
I'd be interested in faster but I'm not sure I see the full advantage in python; at least not for the simple examples they show

scoring rubric of #kubecon: content, originality, relevance, speakers, not-a-product-pitch. and no obvious LLM abstracts. sounds widely applicable

fizzy advertising itself as open source — no huge shitstorm yet. maybe it's different for new code-bases
PS: sane choice and a lot of similarities to the elastic license 😅

side job of the day: making fully monitored coffees at #awsreinvent

the weekend #elkyfriday

PS: don’t worry, not going to start a dedicated elky channel 😅

european bureaucracy: it "only" took 2.5 years to get a delayed flight paid out. and after all the costs (including a laywer) you only get 50%. but I'll still take the win 😉

PS: and I have an even older claim still under negotiations 🫠

what's the story with langchain vs langgraph?
I thought the focus was switching over to langgraph but the contributions for langchain seem to have taken over again

if you're in SF on monday, we'll have a hardware oriented meetup together with microsoft (right at the start of #msignite):
* Bad AI In A Box (BAIIAB) — making AI touch grass
* monitor our coffee consumption — I can now live debug coffee from across the world […]

while we all love ourselves some ML, sometimes all you need is a little bit of math. great post from my colleague @alexandercanada on how to tune your shopping results based on history (with a function score)

#kubecon is on
who is around and wants to meet this week?
November 11, 2025 at 4:23 PM
got the right "business" cards for #kubecon
sorry, no YAML 😉

this was more fun to build than expected: @Claudeai generated HTML design with a *download as image* button. @moo to print and ship them
https://github.com/xeraa/code-card for the implementation

fun #tls fact: why would you want your own certificate authority (CA) over a public one?
if you form a cluster (like elasticsearch), you want to control who can join. using a public CA, anyone could get a valid certificate for their own domain and add their server with the valid certificate to […]

the #elasticsearch API docs alway s had cURL and console examples. a while ago we added dynamic languages (python, JS, ruby, PHP)
now, we have the first static language with java
big API surface so this will come in handy. even if just to tell an LLM "no, use […]

#calhacks was a crazy weekend. great projects with @Elastic agent builder, RAG, geo and timeseries data: https://lnkd.in/dJ6H5cAk

PS: we also served a ton of (monitored) coffee. but that‘s for a separate post…

how much data can you get from coffee? a lot ☕️
this has been a fun project — from sending the data with OTLP to watching every step. can‘t wait to bring it to events and show streams of logs to dashboards
October 20, 2025 at 4:30 AM
next week will be extra packed in SF

monday meetup: https://luma.com/smart-search
* ghita, ZeroEntropy: search tools for efficient AI agents
* jesse, fintools: LLMs and the next generation of financial search
* josh, reducto: building a vision-first RAG pipeline with reducto and elasticsearch

reddit answers — and I‘m not sure if they are trying to troll me or not: wooden data centers 😅
sounds like a logstash situation too
