@TheDonRaab Good stuff! I talked about the 32-bit Collections limit at the end of the Deep Dive that Maurice Naftalin and I did at #Devoxx. It's only about ten minutes worth, toward the very end. (We were running out of time. ) This was inspired by your, I think, offhand comment at JCrete about “64-bit collections.” Independently there was also a question about this in the Ask the Architects session. Impressive that Smalltalk is able to do this.
#RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) is fairly easy to do, but getting good results is much harder.
In these presentations at #devoxx (one with Cédrick Lunven) I explored various advanced techniques to improve #LLM RAG responses.

I had a couple nice chats with Johannes Bechberger @parttimenerd at #Devoxx last week. #DevoxxBE #Java https://mastodon.social/@parttimenerd/113289433287257448

'B' + 'a' + + 'a' + 'a' === 'BaNaNa'
Sounds reasonable, right??
