Just happen have some stats on that (non-US context): 60% picks up a local number, about 40% picks up a foreign number (specifically the stat I have is a US number calling someone in a non-US geography). More than I expected.

I think CFIT is appropriate. There’s loads of cases where pilots flew into a mountain due to lack of environmental awareness. Here’s a bizarre example: https://admiralcloudberg.medium.com/lost-and-confused-the-cr...

One reason I could think of is that they may return the database (or cache, or something else) response after generating and storing the OTP. Quick POCs/MVPs often use their storage models for API responses to save time, and then it is

Having some experience with both, I think they are quite different. N8n looks quite polished and seems primarily concerned about connecting pre-made blocks. There are custom code blocks (JS and Python only, with limited ability to import li

The story is from a co-host with Boris Johnson for some award ceremony. It’s a great read: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2449074521979085... With Johnson I at least had the impression that he understood the sh

I think that is a result of the economics with tips. Restaurant owners need to balance between overstaffing (and thus spending too much) and understaffing (and having service suffer). The optimal point is different if your opportunity cost

I think people also heavily underestimate what 1000s of years means. This type of storage has to survive 3x as long as the Egyptian pyramids. The problem is not just technological. At those timespans you can’t assume the country you live in

In some dimensions I recognize the slow down in how fast new capabilities develop, but the speed still feels very high: Image generation suddenly went from gimmick to useful now that prompt adherence is so much better (eagerly waiting for t

Oh my bad, I thought you referenced contractors in general. In that case I agree: agreements are to be honored.

by hectormalot 1y ago
I don’t think that’s shady? When I was hiring contractors it was always project based with mutual understanding things could end quickly if the project or collaboration didn’t work out. Yes, they get paid 1.5-2x, and that also prices in tha

Yes, by API usage. I think you can’t limit which files it sends.

Likely because it is blended with cached token pricing, which is at $0.30/million. You can use ‘group by’ in the usage portal to see the breakdown.

I’ve read a few of these in depth crash analyses: https://admiralcloudberg.medium.com/ I’ve realized that fires are a way bigger issue than you might imagine after a crash — things can go south really quickly. Multiple stor

It’s a bit more complicated than that. At the point I make a loan, 2 things happen on my balance sheet: I have a new liability to you (the increased balance in your account), and I have a new asset (the loan that you’re expected to pay back

Depends on your perspective. I think it’s like front-end development likely means you work _with_ React, not that you’re writing front end frameworks from scratch. In a similar way AI devs in our team work with LLMs, but they don’t create t

by hectormalot 2y ago
Totally possible. About 30-40% of the people in our AI team don’t have a formal AI background. Especially with LLMs a lot of work has shifted towards “data literate software engineering”. We call them AI engineers / AI developers. Goo

We’re automatically logging and summarizing calls. I’m in a regulated industry so it’s not an optional activity and there are quite some requirements to how and what we log. Interesting thing we learned is that agents tend to log during the

Interesting way to look at it! At least looks like companies are investing with some expected future return that is not yet there today. Other thoughts: 1. Current revenues might be a bit higher than you calculated. E.g. I’m not sure if cop

I once spoke with some engineers at Monzo and at the time (2018) financial transactions were handled via a combination of Kafka and Cassandra.

I wouldn't underestimate how much a modern machine with a bunch of RAM and SSDs can do vs HDFS. This post[1] is now 10 years old and has find + awk running an analysis in 12 seconds (at speed roughly equal to his hard drive) vs Hadoop

My sense is that finetuning might still have a role if your use is high-volume and with a narrow/specific goal. For example, we have GPT based summaries of our customer contact calls. It's fairly high volume (a typical bank will h

Depending on your experience the roles fall into levels 10, 11 and 12 of our CLA[1]. That translates to €64k up to €122k annually if you work 40h/wk. [1]: https://www.fnv.nl/getmedia/88e7fefb-7035-40bb-83bd-9968906
