Hey, that's a great question. I should have been more clear: for deterministic generation that's not done using an LLM. It's done using just regular execution of TypeScript. The code generators that were created using an LLM

You misunderstand the fundamentals. I've built a type-safe code generation pipeline using TypeScript that enforces compile-time and runtime safety. Everything generates from a single source of truth - structured JSON containing the bus

I am okay with a counterfactual alternate future where some disproportionately powerful entity squeezes Python out of the market: Big TypeScript - funded by a PAC. Offshore accounts. Culprit: random rich Googler who lost an argument to Guid

This really makes you take a step back and just consider the world we're in now: someone critiques a company's approach as unscalable because... "hiring humans is a nightmare" Good LLord

This is something we frequently saw at Uber. I would say it's the same as there's already an established pattern for this for any sort of destructive action. Intriguingly, it's rather similar to what we see with LLMs - you wa

Having built an AI crawler myself for first party data collection: 1. I intentionally made sure my crawler was slow (I prefer batch processing workflows in general, and this also has the effect of not needing a machine gun crawler rate) 2.

If you want to really double check - tell them "it's cool how you guys also take the plastic ring off plastic bottles, not just the cap" If they say yeah we do that that is 100% confirmation that they do not live in Japan. Su

If a Japanese person who says they live in Japan contacts you and speaks English that isn't super broken, you can safely assume it's a scam. Roughly 2% of Japanese nationals living in Japan can speak English at this level.

I believe we were discussing the former not the latter? I agree that for lots of problem solving tasks it can be hit or miss - in my experience, all the models are quite bad at writing decent frontend code when it comes to the rendered page

Please just go and try the lumentis library I mentioned - that is what was used to generate this. It works. For the library docs I showed, I literally just wrote a zsh script to concat all the code together into one file, each one wrapped w

I've built many production applications using a lot of these techniques and others - it's made money either by increasing sales or decreasing operational costs. Here's a more dramatic example: https://www.grey-wing

No, the correct way is to have it reason from first principles: 1. "Think about what are the underlying principles for evaluating the truthiness of statements like 'X' - list them out, explain why you chose each one, what tra

You’re describing Unix philosophy basically, right? While I like it I think it doesn’t scale past certain point - think about cases like companies finding they have trouble maintaining a system made up of tons of bash scripts (most config d

A practical way I used to grok this is to try to zip up an mp4 or a jpeg. You’ll notice the size doesn’t really change. That’s because these formats already applied entropy coding compression techniques and have compressed the information v

I agree with your point about self hosting as long term strategy. However at current stage, it’s still a balance between capability and control. Greater control means you lag behind on bleeding edge features (gap seems to be constantly narr

Based on my interactions with Sam, he doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would ever do this for PR. I think he just somehow became aware of this company and, in classic sama fashion, decided it should not fail due to SVB, reached ou
