I don’t get it. How many people need to deploy their own custom AI chat apps over standard models?

Pretty cool! The only thing I didn't like in the examples were things like .eq and .add, which are kind of a DSL, so it takes away from the "just plain JS" approach. But I assume it's because JS doesn't allow operat

This seems interesting, but I can’t quite figure out what your target audience is. Can you give an example of a theoretical customer and how they would use your product?

Does this mean that some types never get resolved? How does the type checker handle that?

For real. A hacker knows this, a hacker knows that. Does a hacker know how to get to the fucking point?

Crazy that LLMs are able to do that when they’re not even trained on visual data.

Structured outputs seem like an important step forward for LLMs to make them more useful (this includes intermediate "outputs" that are internal to the model, e.g. producing code and then running it without AI, producing mathemati

I think when you work low paying jobs you quickly learn that the worst part is how most people treat you. Customers, managers, etc. We in tech take for granted how we’re treated. The baristaFIRE fantasy seems to miss this part.

My favorite Meta ad that I keep getting is a deepfake video of Elon Musk saying he will be handing out free money for “Neuralink AI” to the first people who will invest. They’re saying thousands of dollars PER WEEK are guaranteed! Nice! And

Are all of these specialized models available for use? Like, does it have an API? I wonder because on one hand they seem very impressive and groundbreaking, on the other it’s hard to imagine why more than a handful of researchers would use

I keep reading about how dating apps don’t work, but at least from my own personal experience and from my friends’ experience, they work very well. The key, I think, is to 1. live in a big city with lots of single people your age 2. pay (if

I created a free trial account to try it out (another commenter suggested it) - it really does seem useful, but it doesn’t have a preset that works in my country. For example - I have to pay income tax for the granted cost of my RSUs (but n

That's true, which is why I usually go with the Rule of 500 (total invested across all assets >= predicted monthly expenses * 500). My rational is a safe withdrawal rate of 3.5%, 25% tax on all withdrawals, and an extra 10% to be on

This is why I strongly believe Google has the clear advantage. Infinite data, infinite resources , not to mention dozens of verticals (search, Android and Chrome are probably the killer ones)

Can’t wait to have it in my country. With the current apps/services, 70% of the time the driver won’t stop talking on the phone, or won’t turn on the AC, or will drive in a way that’ll make you want to throw up, etc etc.

How does reflection help with this? Is it by making it easier to write “compilers” from Java to whatever, using Java?

One variant of ragebait I really hate is posters pretending to be stupid or confusing in order to get people to correct them, make fun of them, fight in the comments, ask questions etc, all because more comments equals more exposure. For ex

Somewhat related: is there autograd in python that uses AST analysis or something similar? The only method I’m familiar with uses tracer objects which have their gotchas. I’d like to compile a python function (at runtime) while writing its
