But specs are per feature, it’s just an up front discussion first like you’d have on may things rather than questions-> immediate code writing from a model.

Yes, it’s going to be harder to hit if you live an extremely sedentary lifestyle and do absolutely no walking at any other point in the day. Frame it differently - it’s two hours of your day spent moving around at a walking pace.

And targeting specific ages and genders without having a good reason why those are required attributes for the job is going to be more of an issue when it comes to discrimination cases.

That’s a pretty simple rule but allows lots of deliberate ways to significantly reduce one group. You have however written a thing here that’s fine - it’s totally fine if your advert is seen more by men. But what you want, and what we as a

Releasing is the right choice, well done with this it’s really cool. I’ve only had a short play but a solution to this problem might be to show authors rather than books. Or select authors outside of the list the user has shared and then a

I strongly disagree, but I think there are a few problems 1. Lots of devs just don't know about it. 2. It's easy to do it wrong and try and reimplement the thing you're testing. 3. It's easy to try and redo all your test

https://schemathesis.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ This looks really good. I like using hypothesis for APIs so this is a really nice layer on top, thanks for pointing this one out.

I definitely had the same issue when I started, I think you've hit on the two main mental blocking points many people hit. > this means you need a second function that acts the same as the function you wrote. Actually no, you need t

Huge second. I’ve never use pbt and failed to find a new bug. I recommended it in a job interview, they used it and discovered a pretty clear bug on their first test. It’s really powerful.

Hypothesis keeps a database of failures to use locally and you can add a decorator to mark a specific case that failed. So you run it, see the failure, add it as a specific case and then that’s committed to the codebase. The randomness can

Even then it can be deterministic but not explainable. Tfidf is fairly explainable but about the limit imo for full explanations making sense such that you can fully reason about them and predict outcomes and issues accurately. Embeddings c

Some business problems need that. That’s not the same as asserting most do and it’s certainly not the same all business problems. Some things need to be deterministic. Many don’t. Even your business will have many such problems that don’t n

“There are business problems” and “most business problems” are not the same thing.

LLMs can absolutely generate output without input but we don’t have zero input. We don’t exist in a floating void with no light or sound or touch or heat or feelings from our own body. But again this doesn’t see to be the same thing as thi

There are two sides to workflow integration. One is technical (it’s a hassle to connect things to a specific system because you’d need to deal with the api or there is no api) The other isn’t, because it’s figuring out how and where to use
437.
by IanCal 1y ago
You absolutely don’t need this. We know this to be true as we use humans and they are none of these things (at 100%) and we use other ml systems that don’t hit all there. Directionally those things are beneficial but you just need the benef

I think I disagree here. The integration parts aren’t natural language issues but connecting systems and how to put these things in your workflow. For example. I have a bunch of off the cuff questions and problems and tasks. I want to have

Some comedy, for some this is the view of a party. I know people for whom a night out isn’t a night out unless they struggle to remember anything and the quality is measured by how awful they feel the following day. It’s not for me, but the

Here I think that’s more likely to result in shouts of “Weeeeey!” And “Sack the juggler!”

Just depends on the set. 10 people can just be five friends and their partners around one table. 20 people who don’t all know each other feels more than twice the size.

I’m always amused by this. The US has a hugely diverse set of attitudes to things and yet a surprising number of people there then look at a more populated combination of more than 25 countries with varied languages and histories who have f

Statistical stuff is just what’s more natural to the author of something we’d all do, you wouldn’t assume everybody you invited would come would you? You’d think about how many people would probably come, and that is often based on other th

Scroll position doesn’t do this because it’s not portable between devices.

Something to consider is using a middleman like openrouter, you can buy some credits and then use them at whatever provider through them - no subscription just payg. For a few ad hoc things you can put a few bucks in and not worry about som

Most people would probably not do that if they could just say “unblock the sink” into their phone.

When I was doing it in 2005 it definitely included that, and other far more basic things.

How much is needed to get past those? The third one is solvable by giving them a basic tool call, or letting them write some code to run.
