A virtual DOM makes UI modification easier by tracking changes in a simplified representation of the DOM. A library tracks changes to the root DOM element by keeping a structure of virtual nodes, representing each HTML element. When the state changes, the library creates a new virtual DOM, compares it to the previous one (diffing), and applies the differences to the real DOM, making sure it matches the desired state.

A common misconception about LLMs like ChatGPT is that they learn and memorize everything said to them during conversations. This is inaccurate as these models function as stateless functions, processing each conversation independently without retaining memory of previous interactions. Features like ChatGPT's "memory" are actually prompting tricks that insert relevant information into the context of ongoing conversations.
Cohere released a dataset containing all of Wikipedia, making it practical to create a semantic, vector-based index of Wikipedia on a laptop. This developer was able to index the entire database on a laptop by making sure they had enough free disk space and RAM and disabling swap. They used an indexing library that supported indexing larger-than-memory datasets by compressing vectors.
DuckDB is a database that can create virtual tables that reference data stored elsewhere, making it easier to share and query large datasets while remaining adaptable to changes in the underlying data.
