The point is that I interviewed the guy in person and he nailed it 200%. If you interviewed him online you would likely come to conclusion he’s a fake per the criteria you specified, wouldn’t you?

I interviewed a guy in person and he paused for 5 seconds, then wrote a perfect solution. I tried making the problem more and more complicated and he nailed it anyway, also after a brief pause. We were done in half the time. Maybe he just m

A couple of thoughts on the big picture: * Rise of AI is one of the biggest “transfers” of IP-generated wealth. * It is also a dramatic increase in the “software is eating the world” trend, or at least an anticipation of such. It kinda turn

It very well might. The ones with most smooth integrations and applications will win. This can go either way. For databases open source integration tools prevailed, the commercial activity left hosting those tools. But enterprise software i

They can also buy out the startup or match the development by hiring more people. Their comp packages are very competitive.

Chat logs don’t run out. We may run out of novelty in those logs, at which point we may have ran out of human knowledge. Or not - there still knowledge in people heads that is not bleeding into ai chat. One implication here is that chats wi

ChatGPT chat logs contain massive amount of data teased out of people’s brains. But much of it is lore, biases, misconceptions, memes. There are nuggets of gold in there but it’s not at all clear if there’s a good way to extract them, and u

OpenAI invests heavily into integration with other products. If model development stalls they just need to be not worse than other stalled models while taking advantage of brand recognition and momentum to stay ahead in other areas. In that

I was disappointed the article didn’t mention that. Can you give me some pointers. I will use Google but HN curated content is often a better starting point. :)

Cleanup is an LRU process. Once a memory lapses you have to relearn from life experience (or not at all).

IUUC they built a EBS replacement on top of NVME attached to a dynamically sized fleet of EC2 instances. The advantage is that it’s allocating pages on demand from an elastic pool of storage so it appears as an infinite block device. Anothe

Could you elaborate? Not looking for a proof, just want to understand your train of thought. Always liked your commentary. Thanks!

This presupposes a constantly stable and omnipresent and benevolent society. Which it is not. Society always has reprehensible things in it, sometimes systematically sometimes sporadically. Society is not omnipresent or omniscient. And thin

It stops working when people ask for cases-insensitive file names, as is their right.

I think everyone concluded at this point that we need to improve models memory capabilities, but different people take different approach. My experience is that ChatGPT can engage in a very thoughtful conversations but if I ask for a summar

Imho you would have an easier sell if you separate knowledge into tiers: 1)overall design 2) coding standards 3) reasoning that lead to design 4) components and their individual structure 5) your current issue 6) etc Your project becomes p

I still don’t see how this is different from iceberg? You don’t need a catalog to use it, atomic replace of metadata.json plus deletion vectors seems to be exactly the same thing.

On a tangent, I sometimes avoid correcting typos and awkward expressions because it adds non-ai signal. I do t intentionally add any, but I let them be.

The article hints that cache invalidation is driven by the layers higher up the stack, relying on domain knowledge. For example, the application may decide that all files are read-only, until expired a few days later. Not clear about write-

The conclusion I drew from this is that if real capacity is much less than advertised the battery is best avoided.

Wow, I had useless results asking “please summarize important points of the discussion” from ChatGPT. It just doesn’t understand what’s important, and instead of highlighting pivoting moments of the conversation it produce a high level intr

Graphite addressees this issue in a different way - it lets the author split a pr into several smaller prs, so one can review it piece by piece, but still see the whole super-pr in one place. It does a decent job rebasing stacked prs as wel
