THAT. This is what I don't get. Instead of fixing a complex system let's build more complex system based on it knowing that it might not always work. When you have a complex system that does not always work correctly, you start di

Hammer is not a perfect analogy because of how simple it is, but sure let's go with it. Imagine that occasionally when getting in contact with the nail it shatters to bits, or goes through the nail as it were liquid, or blows up, or do

I can't speak intelligently about how close AGI really is (I do not believe it is but I guess someone somehow somewhere might come up with a brilliant idea that nobody thought of so far and voila). However I'm flabbergasted by the

What TF is "AI notetaker" you need to send in? All our Teams meetings get recorded and all invitees get the link to the recording and a short AI-generated summary.

+100 LLMs are second to none in generating somewhat believable BS, while being mediocre to absolutely abysmal in executing actual tasks. Remind you of anything?

Had a misfortune of working with 28-30 yo "management consultants" who "taught" best practices to 40-50yo experts in their fields (I'm talking specialists with 15-20-30 years of experience). That was... bizarre.

These recruiters do exist. They are difficult to find, they are rare, and there seems to be fewer of them but they do exist. I wouldn't say you don't have to lift a finger and they do all the work for you, but some of them do seem

One of the _many_ reasons job statistics of all kinds is completely useless. According to these numbers you (and I as I was looking for a job for 1.5 years myself recently) are happily retired (according to analysis of employment figures th

As well as overproduction of CS grads in the last 10/15 years. Much like law grads a generation earlier. Wonder who's next, MDs perhaps?..

I agree that mismatch is cultural, and my point was that there might not be a solution because it might not necessarily be a problem. 50yo is MUCH LESS likely to work well with bunch of under-30 yo, esp, if the leadership is all in that age

Your application and resume will go through multiple systems and viewed and assessed by 3 to 5 people before anybody can even see your (presumably younger) face. In the resume, you can remove your experience prior to certain date (which is

Multiple issues. One of them is reluctance of younger hiring managers to hire older people. At 35 you don't necessarily see advantages that hiring 50 year old will bring you, as you don't have experience to be able to see that. No

llamacpp can set up REST server with OpenAI API so you can get many front-end LLM apps to talk to it the same way they talk to ChatGPT, Claude, etc. And you can connect to that machine from another one on the same network through whatever p

I avoid using cloud whenever I can on principle. For instance, OpenAI recently indicated that they are working on some social network-like service for ChatGPT users to share their chats. Running it locally helps me understand how these thin

If you started a blog or at least wrote an article about it a lot of people would be interested. This is amazing. Also I would KILL (well not really, but maybe seriously injure) for a yoga club (or even class) for middle-aged/older out

Worse yet, I guarantee that some of the detection is done by feeding the kids' messages to cloud LLMs. Thanks, no thanks

I do not think the very selective schools provide better education. I'm not an educator, but I've done my research and it's a general agreement. They do give you a better start in your career. You have ability to participate
