Gemini a bit slower when Deepseek under attack (January 2025) In recent weeks, I've noticed a peculiar trend: the Gemini REST API, a widely-used service for developers, has shown signs of latency. Even more troubling are the frequent "503 Overloaded" error messages many have encountered. It seems this degradation in performance corresponds with an attack on Deepseek, another prominent player in the artificial intelligence ecosystem. This notion isn't baseless; after some digging, I stumbled upon a discussion thread where Logan Kilpatrick, a representative voice in the AI community, provided some insights. He mentioned, "Hey folks, we are not moving capacity away from 1.5 models right now. Looks like we might be getting hit by a DDoS attack. Will follow up as we mitigate this." There is a time correlation between Deepseek and Gemini capacity issues The temporal relationship between the issues facing Deepseek and Gemini is hard to ignore....

Neovim Configuration that makes JDTLS work JDTLS: The Eclipse JDT Language Server JDTLS, the Eclipse JDT Language Server, is a Java language specific implementation of the Language Server Protocol. It can be used with any editor that supports the protocol, providing robust support for the Java language. This allows developers to leverage features such as code completion, refactoring, and error checking, enhancing their productivity and coding experience. Configuring JDTLS with Neovim While JDTLS offers great features, getting it to work with Neovim is not straightforward. Manual configuration is required to ensure that the language server integrates seamlessly with the editor. Below are the configurations needed to set up JDTLS in Neovim. Plugin Configuration: lua/plugins/jdtls.lua return {...

Understanding the Differences When Using OpenAI "o1" Models If you’re integrating OpenAI’s REST API and plan to use the "o1" series models, it’s essential to be aware of some key differences compared to other models like the "gpt" series. This blog post highlights two notable changes and provides examples to help you adjust your implementation. No "system" Role The "o1" models only recognize the "assistant" and "model" roles in the conversation format. The "system" role, commonly used in the "gpt" series to define behavior, is not applicable when using these models. Instead, the functionality and behavior are implied by the model itself or managed through the prompt and conversation context. No "temperature" Setting Unlike other models where you can adjust the randomness of responses using the "temperature" setting,...

Clarify Service and Repository in Programming In the world of software development, the terms service and repository are often used interchangeably, yet they serve distinct purposes. Understanding the difference between these two concepts is crucial for designing clean and maintainable code. In this blog post, we will explore the roles of services and repositories, and provide a practical example to illustrate their differences. Understanding Services and Repositories Subtopic 1: Defining Services and Repositories When programming, we often use the terms service and repository to define similar things. A service is typically used for fetching or pushing data from or to various sources. It acts as a mediator between the application and the data sources, handling business logic and data transformation. On the other hand, a repository is used for getting or storing data from or to a specific data source, such as a database or an external API. It abstrac...
