wait, a sing-along video for text encoders? that’s way more fun than reading a whitepaper.

If you think nanosecond-scale text embeddings are cool, wait until you see what’s possible with text embeddings in a hot path database transaction context

As a final note, you can read about encoders and play with a wasm embedding demo or two on our website:

If you’re resonating with Patrick’s description of liquid software, you might find our recent posts on the subject of liquid software, a term we use often, very interesting:
flowercomputer.com/posts/

I'm now building an "improvements" feature into all of my personal vibecoded applications: a freeform text input that's hooked up to an agent that yolo implements whatever is submitted.
It's an interesting experience -- the activation energy barrier to sanding any rough edge or ature becomes extremely low. Someone else who uses one of the applications I created has already implemented 150 improvements over the course of a few days. This pattern feels like a new kind of tool -- liquid software? -- and every application that doesn't have this feature now has a slightly rigid and anachronistic flavor. Why can't I just tell it how I want it to be different?
Now, it's not obvious to me how this pattern can or should scale. Does it become unmaintainable after a while? (Maybe model intelligence improvement outstrips my feature appetite such that it's fine?) How does collaborative software work in this model? Can software designed this way be secure and reliable?
Whatever the larger questions about broader deployment, it definitely works great in a personal context. It reminds me a little of the visions of Lisp/Lisp machines, Smalltalk, and HyperCard -- systems that the user can take control of and modify. Those visions never quite worked, though: the vast majority of software today is not end-user modifiable in any useful way. So, while this "liquid" affordance is a very small touch, the way it changes one's relation to the software feels a bit transgressive and empowering in a Lickliderian and Engelbartian way.

good piece from Flower on something increasingly important: agent coordination is becoming an infrastructure problem, not just an orchestration problem.
lots of interesting territory opens up from there, especially once coordination starts crossing data and trust boundaries.
