I'm curious how much of this is speculative vs from use? We are doing code generation for our users (analysts & data scientists), and I found going by method names & type signatures failed pretty hard, while contextual code sni

Yeah this, setting the price to $100k to guide core laws around $B businesses in a way to override public feedback is cheap. Sounds like it is now officially open season.

FWIW, individual classes are generally tiny, so we found using langchain is fine and then for places we need to beef up (chunking, not calling 'eval', ...), we do our own class/subclass. That way we can align with community f

Yes, regular computers have had SIMD for decades. Ex: Intel was SSE and now AVX. Fancier servers will have the same, except maybe wider and some other tricks. If you go down the vectorization path, unless you are a crufty CPU DB vendor, I&#

You can do layered retrieval and summarization/embeddings to fit within the context bounds. Conceptually it's not far from what a clinician would do anyway. By switching from a naive one shot prompt with big context to interactive

That's a legit hypothesis! Speaking as a scientist, I'd love to see a round 2 of this work to see how much things are the same vs different. The premise for the work was doing more serious sociological methods could help underst

Source? Every path is hard, so saying that's the worst is one of the most extreme claims one can possibly make. Ex: I can argue that VC funding is much worse than having paying customers in your space and the luxury to pivot & expl

Good luck to the team! We went back-and-forth in diff APIs here before coming back to langchain. The march release with async streaming, and growing plugin work, are examples of why. Balancing VC funding with OSS will be hard. I like having

In the US, you can part-time consult, as programmers are paid way above the national median income. This can either be in a lucrative field, giving you more time, or in your vertical, giving you more pmf exposure. The result is living like

We came to the US with a few suit cases and had to abandon all property in our home country. In general, many immigrants move to start over due to the relative lack of opportunity at home, whether due to politics, crime, economy, whatever.
