Not sure how much privacy is needed for a menu in a restaurant. Plus, it's all later sent to GPT which breaks privacy anyway.

RAG is probably the only thing you can do with LLMs nowadays that is useful, accurate, and cheap enough to deploy in a real business scenario. Every other use of LLMs so far is either too expensive to scale or produces too many hallucinati

Is there any specific reason for using LLAMA embedding models instead of the new models OpenAI just released? Are they better?

I suspect a big part of the decision is the investment Amazon made in the real estate. It's also possible they have some favorable tax deals with the cities they operate in, given how much money their employees spend at local businesse

Historically, Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc were very office-centric. Their in-office perks were pretty much legendary and they always tried to instill the company culture built around being together in an office space. They invested heavil

Most office leases are for 5 to 10 years periods. I’m not surprised they are not seeing huge changes yet. It would be more interesting to find out how much of that space is actually occupied by meatbags. Most offices I went to this year wer

Not sure what the point of this rant is. C is an old language. I remember switching from Motorola assembler on my Amiga to ANSI C on my new PC and complaining how high-level it was. But it was so much easier and faster to write more complic

As someone who abandoned hacking two decades ago, I was really taken aback by that usage of a local web server to transfer shell scripts. What happened to the plain old copy and pasting of scripts through your existing ssh connection, for

Good companies show salary bands to internal employees. If they don’t do it, I think the reasons are pretty obvious. If you pay people fairly, why would you keep that information secret?

This is great for small projects and services that have just a few users and an easy way to change passwords and create/delete accounts directly in the backend. It’s secure (although you must use HTTPS) and is very easy and fast to use

Why? There is no more personal thing than your own life. Why should not we be able to choose when to end it? People will be doing it anyways, just in all the gruesome ways it is usually done. Hopefully this container doubles as a coffin tha

The usual process to hire engineering managers is even worse. Most of the questions are of the “open” type where you can easily fail them even if you answer correctly according to your own experience. It feels so random. You never know what

It looks more like someone was trying to make a statement than to write software. If this is actually useful, then the message is lost in all the attacks on Apple and Microsoft.

All the data is encrypted so it doesn’t matter where they are storing it. Using multiple service providers (Google, Amazon, their own servers, etc) might actually be beneficial because it eliminates one point of failure, especially if they

With how I see software being developed in most companies, I don’t think there is much time left to consider social aspects in any significant ways. Today’s development is too agile for that. Analyzing social aspects and impacts would requi

This kind of behavior is usually a result of some other, more fundamental problem within your team. You would probably benefit from some kind of team building activity that would repair trust among your team members. Using hello as a trap w
