This doesn't add up to me. I thought "People over processes" was a pillar in the agile manifesto.

I've averaging a few conversations a day. My usage does not involve asking it to generate large chunks of code or anything mind blowing, but the usage I do get out of it makes me feel very fast, efficient, and confident in my abilities

I don't get where this sentiment comes from. I build software specifically on the concept of predictable results from llm's being composable. Sure, the results are not deterministic in that 100% of the time the exact prompt return

The post suggests it is 40% which seems correct to me.

Prompts are programs. They take input and produce an expected output. You can parameterize them and they can be used as functions and chained together. In that way, prompt engineering is software engineering.

I find it hard to believe that the intelligence you assume is required to do a person's job is an accurate indication of that person's intelligence.

Our remote teams have this culture that you say is impossible. They're in their chats or voice calls all day communicating, and measurably crush the in-office teams' productivity, maybe due to the efficiencies gained by going asy

They get more completed work out of the engineers they "over hired" before they have to let them go. Then they'll move 3 cheap engineers to maintain that shiny new product that 30 laid off engineers built.

I thought RLHF with LoRA is precisely the alignment method.

Since they mentioned processed foods, I think this could be mainly referring to ultra processed foods, where there is now a plethora of evidence that such foods contribute to poor health outcomes.

Rather than copying its output for publishing, I assume most people are using it to have conversations with, and ask questions, probe the answers, discover new information, research or use that information, and follow up with the conversati

You're definitely right that the news loves to write headlines after any daily price fluctuations and pretend they know the reason, when in reality it usually explains nothing and becomes irrelevant by tomorrow.

I've been doing every-other-day-vegan for over a year. It was a good compromise for me, as a once meat obsessed person. It's actually a great system, I never eat the same thing two days in a row!

Sorry for any implied snark. I don't think it's a special set of skills, just a different default and preferred mode of experiencing human connection that some of us ended up with.

This actually has nothing to do with public forums. That was your insertion. The point is that the way we interacted with public or private niche communities on the internet informs how we interact with our private always-online work-chat.

Fair enough I'll also ask that you consider the possibility that you haven't experienced overcoming this limit yet. After all, what do we need to learn about our work that can't be represented as text Or that this limit might

Which some of us are way better at making online text-only relationships than face-to-face ones, which is how my career accelerated, and where most of my closest and longest lasting relationships in life have come from.

Well, I am sorry for that. But just to add - it's a misconception to see remote work as a "new way" of working for someone like me. For someone like me, who used chatrooms and forums to collaborate with people on programming

by broast 3y ago
I personally have experienced it, but my team has only seen greater success since going remote, and filling our roles with good remote fits. I might say if you haven't experienced carrying a meaningful text-only relationship over years

Your take is very dismissive and does not align with my experience. We work on complicated technical high value things and my juniors are very fast learners. And we learn from each other and not necessarily from the internet. We also don&#x

Personally, I grew up on the internet, learning from people in chatrooms and forums which were strong communities where most of my personal adult relationships have come from (many of whom I've not met in 20 years of knowing them). Fro

Prompt engineering is just communication skills. I could tell you which of my coworkers would make good or bad prompt engineers just by looking at their transfer notes on tickets.

An important distinction is while fasting for Ramadan, you can't ingest anything at all, including water. Unlike intermittent fasting where practitioners might still have 0 calorie coffee to stay stimulated, and water to stay hydrated.

Just Jim Simon's own words, in the book The Man Who Solved The Market. And the fact that they hired NLP engineers explicitly. My guess is it would be momentum based and capturing short term fluctuations in the market. My guess is they

It's almost certainly expected. These models are argued to contain hidden models of the data they represent, and can pick up on patterns with one-shot or few-shot samples Let's recall that Bob Mercer, Jim Simons made their billion

The person who generated the image seems to have decades of award winning experience in actual photography, so I wonder if that trained eye passes your test?
