I can relate to this. IMO in the title there is a WHEN. Missing. If you are using pencil and paper every time (even for the 100th little API variation) you are doing too much planning haha

Yea, this is the only thing I don't like about them, that I can't test them locally. More generally, is there something like a "on prem cloud" which just replicates say Cloud Tasks (but also other Cloud Apis) using local

I love Task Queues. We are using them extensively. Also, they give you deduplication for free and a lot of other nice features like delayed tasks storing tasks for up to 30 days extremely detailed rate limits etc.

Ah haha I am going through the exact same experience but picked up F# about 4 months ago and ChatGpt has been an absolute godsend. There is a whole category of blockers in learning that have been eliminated.

Interesting the ration of upvotes to comments really gives you a good estimate of how controversial a topic is.

People are just automatically assuming that because we had this big leap in LLMs for chat responses, we would have an equivalent jump in LLMs for embedding based retrieval. And to my knowledge there is no evidence for that. Quite to the con

People worry about the classification into security or not, precisely because securities, if unregulated are a perfect vehicle for scams! Let me rephrase the howey test for you: “Hey just buy this thing from me, and trust me that I will do

To me this is more of a negative for DL based similarity than a win for that method. With this whole LLM craze (and they are incredible) I think a lot of people just assume we made similar advancements on the Embedding layer for pure text s

Is anyone having a really good experience using embedding based semantic retrieval in combination with a downstream LLM ? I am working quite a bit with normal and chained LLMs but so far haven't explored the retrieval route.

If you want more depth have you looked at the Elements from the same author ? This book is intended for beginners.

This and elements where the intro to ML for me as well. I understand your sentiment but we also have to accept that for a lot of Ml usecases just calling ChatGPT api is 100x better approach than creating your own Ml model, and thus there is
