Iulia Feroli @iuliaferoli.com · 23/10/2025After announcing the @elastic.co Agent Builder on our YouTube and dev (@elastic-dev.bsky.social) channels, I played around with it some more to build a #SpotifyWrapped generator based on a previous blog I wrote!

Iulia Feroli @iuliaferoli.com · 21/10/2025Is generating fake videos the best AI has to offer? Are we using too much inference power with little to show for it?

Iulia Feroli @iuliaferoli.com · 23/09/2025I've been releasing loads of new content on our @elastic.co YouTube community channel. Covered #LLMs, #RAG, #agents, #MCP, and the latest on #contextengineering. Yes, I'm basically playing buzzwords bingo / catch 'em all. And yes, I've also mastered "YouTube thumbnail posing". #hatethegame 020

Iulia Feroli @iuliaferoli.com · 05/02/2025The only way we can get great results out of LLMs is if you perfect prompt engineering / figure out how to be as explicit and precise as possible about your requirements and how the code should perform. Sooo is the AI revolution going to actually make people write good documentation and wikis?? 😅😅 020
Iulia Feroli @iuliaferoli.com · 04/02/2025It turns out #PHP is as far away from my familiar safety blanket of #Python as you can get 😅. I am tracking and notes & journey so far (probably soon to be a blog) My "WTH is that" list so far: npm, vue, bun, brew, blade, react, mix, vite, herd, inertia, sail, tailwind, nginx. 000
Iulia Feroli @iuliaferoli.com · 04/02/2025Second day at #laracon EU and I have to say, the community here is so lovely and exciting that it made me want to attempt to learn PHP! And that's something since in all my years of programming so far I never once got tempted to touch #javascript. I'll call that a big #laravel win! 120

Iulia Feroli @iuliaferoli.com · 29/01/2025Had to turn this into a blog write-up - using Elasticsearch to dive into my Oura sleep data and generate my sleep score in just a few lines!dev.toAnalyzing my Oura sleep score - is it AI or just math?Today I dove into my activity tracker data; specifically, the sleep score that Oura calculates daily.... 000
Iulia Feroli @iuliaferoli.com · 29/01/2025Why does this matter? You can look a simple "sleep score" and believe it's a fancy, groundbreaking AI insight. However, more often than not - it's either a reasonable & intuitive formula or maybe a basic regression. Simpler. More accurate. Cheaper to compute. Choose smart data science over trends!! 030
Iulia Feroli @iuliaferoli.com · 29/01/2025Now to look at what days this gets back, and check what the sleep scores for those days was. Surprise, surprise. It's pretty much the same dates we got in the initial query. This confirms that the intuition/hypothesis was pretty much spot on and I can "predict" my sleep score with simple math 100
Iulia Feroli @iuliaferoli.com · 29/01/2025Finally, the experiment. Can it be as simple as just making a basic formula around sleeping times and heart rate? I build a query looking at deep sleep over 1.5 hours, heart rate under 60, and sorting by highest REM time: 100
Iulia Feroli @iuliaferoli.com · 29/01/2025Looking a bit deeper at these days, and at the fields I already suspect had a pretty high influence on the scores, we notice some consistent values: 100
Iulia Feroli @iuliaferoli.com · 29/01/2025Now comes our tiny data science experiment or hypothesis. I gathered the days with the highest sleep scores with a simple sort on the score field. sort="readiness.score:desc" 100
Iulia Feroli @iuliaferoli.com · 29/01/2025Step 2: we need a few lines to add the new data into an elasticsearch index so we can look through it easily. This was also super easy - as it tends to be with json files - so we didn't need any additional mapping or data processing steps. 100
Iulia Feroli @iuliaferoli.com · 29/01/2025First up I found the Oura developer API and got a quick dump of my activity/sleep data. Oura itself seems to have the most restrictive native way to look at your data (vs fitbit or garmin) so this is already a great find/idea if you want some more insights! 100
Iulia Feroli @iuliaferoli.com · 29/01/2025Today I dove into my activity tracker data; specifically, the sleep score that Oura calculates daily. The intuition/assumption about it is pretty simple - more deep sleep and lower heart rate correlate with better scores. Is it that simple? Let's take a look in a quick data science experiment 110
Iulia Feroli @iuliaferoli.com · 29/01/2025Seems like a good time to be in open source all of a sudden 😅 100

Iulia Feroli @iuliaferoli.com · 07/01/2025This can also become an unofficial Taylor Swift specific era dashboard 😂 (if you get your hands on your swiftie friends’ data) 000
Iulia Feroli @iuliaferoli.com · 07/01/2025New year new project. I've been seeing lots of comments about the ~accuracy~ of spotify wrapped at the end of 2024 - so I've decided to build my own with #elasticsearch It's actually super easy to put together and you can do way more drilling into your trends/taste over time <3 Blog coming soon! 3121

Iulia Feroli @iuliaferoli.com · 05/12/2024So far I can see there's about 3500 posts about starter packs out of the 2million entried in the dataset. Which is still half of the almost 9k posts about "follow". 000
Iulia Feroli @iuliaferoli.com · 05/12/2024Let's keep it positive. First dig into "starter pack" since I think it's such a cool feature on bsky! These are some of the most positive posts about it so far. Curious to get some aggregations on most popular starter pack topics 💭🤔 100
Iulia Feroli @iuliaferoli.com · 05/12/2024Tried to run a negative sentiment search matching "AI" on the bsky posts dataset to analyze how people feel about it, maybe gather some insights. Main insight: it's time to install some kind of profanity filter 😅 000
Iulia Feroli @iuliaferoli.com · 05/12/2024That's definetelly an idea for the follow up. My colleague @jessicagarson.bsky.social is great with social media APIs so she'd be great to take that part on. We can also set up an open telemetry observability dashboard for activity ;) 020
