The fact that just by being on the bike for two hours, my brain doesn't go into negative pathways, but it just focuses on the road always brings me out of a slump. I can also recommend easy, restorative yoga exercises, which is the lig

I feel it's the right time for the EU to focus on developing an administration focused Linux Desktop distribution. All the ingredients are there, just a solid governance structure is needed to consolidate efforts of development and mai

It's pretty cold blooded if you ask me. Should I follow his example and do the same? And you are defending this killer.

Cold blooded murder on video and it is still not enough for our countries to take action.

I think that at the moment the One Big Beautiful Bill ensures that the spending spree will continue and the world will stay afloat with cheap money so I would assume that we are about to see the last part of the bubble. But, I wouldn't

It's mostly good, but one mistake can burn you severely.

As much as they improve coding and will surely multiply the software output in the world, they make other areas worse. One example that is being enshitificated by LLMs is writing. LLMs write bland, unemotional text and it is going to be eve

In my opinion this is one of many simptoms of a decadent society on the brink of collapse. And I also think that cheap money and huge fiscal debts have been feeling this decadence.

Why not use one of the open source models?

by BenGosub 1y ago
Certainly, in those cases one needs to be clever and design an evaluation framework that will grade based on soft criteria, or maybe use user feedback. Still, over time a good train-test database should be built and leveraging dspy will do

I am not an expert in fine tuning, but in the company I work for our fine tuned model didn't do any noticeable difference.

In this case, for doing specific tasks, it makes much more sense to optimize the prompts and the whole flow with DSPy, instead of just fine tuning for each task.

I worked in a startup around 2019-2020 where we started using Sentry for distributed tracing. It was a company in the IOT space and we had a lot of events going through. The bill started going in the $3-5000 range just from the tracing, so

Very inspiring comment. I suppose that software development was a much more impactful job back in the days. I do get pleasure when building software, but like many others I also dream about starting a farm to diversify my income and get som

Two nice things about F# are that you can introduce it into an organisation using the dotnet ecosystem and that you can use all libraries in dotnet, which is a huge advantage over OCaml. Otherwise, I am happy with OCaml, but F# has also a p

Indeed, this is also my experience. I have tried a lot of things and where quality is more important than quantity, I doubt there are many tools that can come close to Llamaparse.

What are the tools from the yesterday's world you are referring to? I've had issues with the base Python library in PDF parsing, only some state of the art tools were able to parse the information correctly.

by BenGosub 2y ago
They do not test Llamaparse on the accuracy benchmark. In my personal experience Llamaparse was one of the rare tools that always got the right information. Also, the accuracy is only based on tables and we had issues with irregular text st

In this vein I would also recommend: "Making the Modern World: Materials and Dematerialization" (2014) by Vackav Smil. In this work, Smil explores how these materials have shaped industrial civilization and examines trends in mate

see my other comment, is it surprising that physical attractiveness influences sexual pleasure?

by BenGosub 4y ago
Well, in almost every case, first there's bonding and building of a connection, but for me and I think the majority, the physical attraction plays an important part. The grade "6" is relative and the judgement will vary betwe
