Theoretically you gain denormalization benefits at scale so I’m reading it as arguing for normalization.

by ThalesX 3y ago
Huh. Just these days I’m building an MVP and was thinking that denormalized would probably be better. But I just can’t give normalization up.

tl;dr; be careful with your testing strategy, it might break your company. There's some aspects that stand to gain from automated testing, it's important that developers test their work, but in my opinion manual testing is super v

I'm a software and product guy; what I don't get, is how we're going to replace us lowly engineers and not a substantial percentage of a company's Human stack. Close to engineering, what about the SCRUM masters? The test

> So many people talking about GPT-4 here, or even 3.5 when the SOTA has moved way along. I'm talking about 4-turbo, 4-turbo preview and self hosted LLama2. What in God's name is not SOTA about this?

by ThalesX 3y ago
Look I don't mean to downplay. Or maybe I do. But we're talking about LLM replacing professional problem solvers, software architects, not generating great sounding probability modeled token distributions.

This is a post about a present product launch. The future, maybe tomorrow, will be filled with wonder and amazement. Today, we need to understand reality. Not all of us appreciate empty hype. Hackers tinker with reality and build the future

Just to answer to the turbo aspect, I've seen a big downgrade in quality when comparing 4 to 4-turbo, and even the new preview which is explicitly supposed to follow my instructions better. So I'm running a first pass through 4 an

As a developer but also product person, I keep trying to use AI to code for me. I keep failing, because of context length, because of shit output from the model, because of lack of any kind of architecture etc etc etc. I'm probably dum

I forgot about this and had a busy week, but yes you nailed it. The other commenters are also right in pointing out the obvious flaws of GDP with or without meaning to, but you understood the spirit of the comment.

This sounds great for GDP!

I rather like the experience of working with Remix. Though it has some quirks. `remix-auth` is OK. `drizzle` works ok. I dunno, it depends on a lot of factors but in the spirit of your question this is what I'll answer.

In all honestly, I recently launched two campaigns. One on Meta and one on Google. It's for a niche app I worked on as part of a European Project. Meta went straight up and is giving me good traffic. Google keeps refusing it saying the

I didn't give it up, but I did laugh one morning at 2:30AM, laying in bed, dozing off and getting startled by the watch telling me I've been sitting for awhile and it suggests I get up and move a bit.

The crypto bros turned to AI bros. I have a close friend that fits the profile and he's now a distinguished author of multiple books published on Amazon.
