I think this is precisely right. Like 100% correct. No notes. Exactly nails it.

In similar news: my left hand acquired my right hand today in an all stock deal valuing the combined hands at $1T. Praising the announcement my arms noted on the deal: “With these two hands now together, there’s nothing our combined fist of

Huge plus one to this. We undervalue when to bet on data and when to be comfortable with gut.

The finding on simpler prompts, especially with GPT4 tracks (3.5 requires the opposite). The take on RAG feels application specific. For our use-case where having details of the past rendered up the ability to generate loose connections is

The point of the punishment is to tell you how much we don’t want you to do it. You get life for murder because we really don’t want people killing people. Fleecing them out of money is bad, but we can (literally) print more of it. Once som

Don’t do the cleaning and leave a medium review that politely says you were not informed of cleaning policy beforehand. Host has no way to penalize you (outside of a bad review) and you can respond to their review (if they criticize you) sa

I’m not equivocating AI to these inventions, but imagine if this dour, pessimistic outlook greeted electricity, the combustion engine, the car? New things aren’t immediately valuable and come with all kinds of tradeoffs. We would hardly rec

Still there for me. Kept meaning to spend the boot up time to migrate to Swift but have always been more keen to just get going. Now finally feeling a bit “forced” as I want to tap into Swift only things like widgets and live activities.

Having done some of this myself, I’m curious your results on fine tuning vs embeddings. I’ve found the latter much more performant, but perhaps I’m thinking about fine tuning wrong.

This is one of the best pieces I’ve read that articulates what it’s like to work closely with LLMs as creative partners.

Surely one answer is to train (or aggressively fine-tune) a new model that doesn’t (or refuses) to produce these outputs and then - as exists already, augment that model’s understanding of copyrighted material by having it Bing/Google

Agree. My view is we’re in the Napster moment and someone is going to invent the iTunes Music Store. Language models are a distribution mechanism for knowledge content—- in many cases more efficient and useful than the originally packaged m

What’s the benefit of llamaindex over just storing documents in chroma and using chroma to query? I’ve done the latter and trying to understand if there’s a performance gain to the former?

Most people who dislike political people are failing to place the blame on the right actor. Sounds like this engineer has recognized how to get rewarded at their job and has adjusted their behavior to fit. The actual root problem is that th

Yes to this. Too many people complain about politics as if it is some “outside” force and not simply implicit in the way that human beings organize diversified interests. Since each of us can only embody our own world view, politics is inev

You me and everyone else on this thread are here getting value out of it. That’s more than the number of people who get value out of crypto.

Deeply appreciate the outreach- just sent a note and mentioned your name. I’d gotten a note that you all would have update on my api access within a few weeks so sent that along so the support team has the context

Same experience on my side; they're uninterested in actually running the business it seems.

I mean, that would be predicated on it actually being possible to get access to and use their models...which in my experience is basically a limitless void. Meanwhile I spend hundreds of dollars a month with msft/oai.

I would love to use their API but I can never get anyone to respond to me. It's like they have no real interest in being a developer platform. Has anyone gotten their vague application approved?
