Someone should just build an ANN as big as currently as possible with current hardware, while still having both inference and training to be as close to real-time as possible (micro-to milli-seconds), build the self-learning using some loos

If it's 5 person company they likely don't have HR or recruiting and the CEO is likely doing the hiring (for VPs/Directors/etc). In that case of course you would communicate with them directly, they are effectively a hir

Soooo... My guess is the next step in evolution of automated resume submission apps will be looking up hiring manager (or above) and sending a tailored email to "decrease false rejection rate". Can we expect a "Show HN"

You got me there, I don't have one. I'm senior in my career but haven't been able to build a network that I can rely on when I'm looking for my next role, so I'm in the same boat with all of you guys and gals. I do

I honestly don't know if it was sarcasm or if you were serious. At any rate, the downside of this is as follows. The goal of having Human Resources, talent acquisition, recruiters, and other similar roles is to let hiring managers (and

The negative effects of social media on teenagers have been researched and are well documented. I have 2 teenagers and honestly don't even need that, I see it with my own eyes.

Ditto. Social Media investigated negative effects of social media and found none. :)

The primary _stated_ purpose of the technology is to eliminate as many jobs as possible to increase profits for the business owners. Which is a valid purpose, if I were a business owner that's what I would have done, too, but I wouldn&

What a wonderful way to start my Sunday, to distract from the antics of the rich and powerful, and to pay attention to things that matter. I found it curious that a novel published in 1989 refers to the future immortal being going through c

Women have had higher life expectancy and lower mortality rate in a number of age brackets, including the one studied in the paper, for much of recorded history, at least in the US. So if more women graduate from college you would expect to

One more vote for used and reasonably recent Thinkpad T series. These are laptops used by businesses and rotated every few years. T480 is getting a bit old, I think T14 gen 2 has the best price/usability ratio at the moment. I'd g

I ended up getting separate hardware, one box for Windows (gaming only), another for everything is Linux. Gaming box is a desktop with latest CPU, proper GPU and everything, my personal is a 5 year old Thinkpad (mostly docked and connected

I have well-specked Windows box dedicated to gaming ONLY. Nothing else on it, just my Steam collection. I keep it updated and re-install it from scratch every few months (Windows is known to slow down with time). Everything else is done on

That would be "using Earth's magnetic field to create propulsion" and obviously would not work in deep space.

I remember in the 80s, after mostly having given up on perpetuuum mobile, bunch of people were trying to invent something like this, using vibration etc which worked on Earth but would not in a vacuum... Looks like a new generation took the

I've been tracking my personal finances with a simple spreadsheet (ODS, with LibreOffice) for almost a decade at this point. It's backed weekly to couple locations (not in the cloud). I add more sheets as I need them if I want mor

This is imho but I don't think "effective" and "low-effort" should be used together. In this particular case at least.

I don't get what the big deal is. Most of this data has already been scooped by by Meta, Google, and yes, likely OpenIA, as well as other search bots and already used for training. Maybe some of this data is gatekept (I've only be

If he was building compute device for LLM inference specifically it would help to check in advance what that would entail. Like GPU requirement. Which putting bunch of RPis in the cluster doesn't help one bit. Maybe I'm missing so

I would separate dimensional or relational modeling from data governance. You can dump all the data you have in one S3 bucket, and AWS can take care of near-real-time ingestion. So no need for staging, ODS, data warehouse, data marts, hub a

I would say that the easy access to previously unthinkable amount of storage and compute (and obv network throughput to tie it together) is thought to make the data modeling unnecessary. Normalized/denormalized data models, Inman/

Went through the same process but ended up with Far clone on Linux called far-2l. Wouldn't say it's great (I miss many plugins) but it's def good enough for me.

Why would you have passwords/credentials to your accounts (including financial accounts with tens of thousands of dollars) on a device that not only you can drop in the toilet, but also lose, or get stolen, or hacked? Do you have any i

> Never, ever, use a cloud password manager, that's just dumb. Combining these things together in some sort of master account -- be it Google, Apple, Microsoft -- is also terrible. It's like leaving all of your savings accounts

ok I guess I meant to say "should NOT be using cloud LLM". You know, common sense and everything.

That analogy I agree with. Medicine, even modern medicine, has so many caveats for every medication/procedure/approach that at times it borders on scam (snake oil). Doesn't mean we must accept the same level of accuracy in ot

We don't build brains though, we use them (or, more accurately, we _are_ them) out of necessity. LLMs are our creation, and we have a say in how/whether to use them.

by drillsteps5 1y ago
Nobody in the right mind is using cloud LLMs for "therapy", it's all done with local LLMs. Latest local models that run on consumer-grade hardware can likely provide "good enough" resemblance of communication with h
