I love making web apps where users bring their own keys. This approach combines the best of both worlds: the convenience of distributing executable files and the benefits of open source. So far, I have developed two web apps: 1. A live tran

I occasionally need to remove PII from json payloads before sharing it on slack, would be nice if there was some kind of obfuscate option for either all json values or just some that’d replace all values with **.

I used to work for a Go shop. We dealt with financial data. I found it so annoying that many of my colleagues would use Go for one-off tasks such as aggregating CSV files, updating the database with some data, or fetching data from the data

We should be able to produce a tar and a proof that tar was produced from a specific source code. Quote from the article: That line is not in the upstream source of build-to-host, nor is build-to-host used by xz in git. Zero Knowle

I've been programming in Python for years and I agree: Python isn't really for consumers. But hey it is used for LLMs that can generate React apps, so there's that. I am only half-kidding. But it appears the industry as a who

A calculator outperforms deep learning on basic arithmetic tasks. Tree-based models are extremely good at finding clustering patterns; they outperform trained humans at that, thus we have commercial applications such as fraud detection. Dee

I thought this was an illustrative example of how to process big datasets. We could easily have a statistic per e.g. bitcoin transaction in a different problem, see https://github.com/afiodorov/bitcoin_ancestries . I s

What I am saying is that the solutions presented assume we have N stations which are way less than 1_000_000_000. Worst case scenario for RAM would be if each line contained a unique station. In this case we'd have to allocate 1_000_00

My first instinct would be to spin up a local Postgres and keep station data there. A lot of the solutions assume we have enough ram to keep the stats per station, however that's a bad assumption when dealing with a lot of data.

>but may be sufficient for a specific task Yes more than sufficient for an internal tool - we can assume good intentions of the users of the tool since people want for this to actually work and have no intention of hacking.

You're right! It solved it. I didn't know about the Code/Search distinction. I still struggled for it to write me the unit tests. It does write them, they just don't pass. But this is definitely much closer to GPT4 than

I don't trust the code quality evalution. The other day at work I wanted to split my string by ; but only if it's not within single quotes (think about splitting many SQL statements). I explicitly asked for stdlib python solution

GPT4 is incredible! We watched https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boy%27s_Word:_Blood_on_the... which is full of slang and it was perfectly comprehensive. I love how it'd translate informal speech into informal.

I have built a webapp for translating srt files: https://www.subsgpt.com GPT-4 excels as a translator, but it often encounters issues with content warnings and formatting errors when translating entire subtitle files via ChatGPT

I'm a big fan of spaced repetition, though I've hung up my hat with it for now. My journey with spaced repetition is a bit of a throwback - think pre-smartphone days, armed with SuperMemo on my trusty iPAQ hx4700. Picture this: a

I've long been very curious how one would generate a reasonably good source of randomness in a practical way without using a computer. Perhaps one could think of a song and then try to deduce randomness from the first letter of each wo

There isn't a one-size-fits-all solution to this issue. Before joining the department, I was part of a start-up where, with a considerably smaller team, we were able to process even larger amounts of data. We could introduce a new feat
