Sure, I understand why you’d want real-time. I guess the OLAP part is the one I’m not sure about here. Most of these use cases seem more “pull all data for a specific user/post/company” and less “do analytical queries on millions+

Nice. We (Delphi[0] - enterprise AI data assistant) do something similar internally to power our app. We’re all typescript under the hood so I’ll give this a look and see if we can use it. Symphony wouldn’t support other LLMs currently, rig

Potentially dumb question, but why does “who viewed my profile” (the feature mentioned in the post as the original use case at LinkedIn) require a realtime OLAP datastore anyway?

Cube ( https://cube.dev ) is a good one. Others include AtScale[0], dbt's MetricFlow[1], Google's Looker[2] (also a BI tool but powered by a semantic layer), and Propel[3]. [0] https://atscale.com [1] https:

Yeah, similar to what you and the other commenter from Definite said, we (Delphi)[0] find semantic layers way better for this kind of work than just going straight to a database/data warehouse. One thing you really need with LLMs is co

The average human cannot program, not even a little. The average human cannot summarize (for example) Anna Karenina from memory.

It just needs to be better than the average person, not the average programmer

OpenAI arguably already has AGI. GPT-3/ChatGPT is much better than the average human at coding, text summarization, etc. (“system 2” cognitive tasks).

Not the OP, but: Oftentimes data teams have those data sources in the warehouse already (or a process for ETLing new ones in). Copying data only once means lower costs (maybe) and fewer inconsistencies. Plus if they’ve done work to join&#x2

Cool! I'd be interested in a more detailed writeup of how you did this. It's not perfect but looks like very solid work for someone trying to land their first SWE role, so well done. Maybe re-submit it as a Show HN? Also, it would

It’s (mostly) for data analytics teams, not software engineers. They use it to transform raw data in their data warehouses into views/tables that people can use for analysis.

If I were OpenAI, I’d do it so that people will have to find increasingly creative exploits, which we can then also patch (and keep patched for future models). Long term they’re really worried about AI alignment and are probably using this

Yes, this is a great point. To a first approximation, whether users trust the results is the only thing that matters for this kind of tech, imo.

Awesome! I suspect that natural language will soon be the default way we interact with data, so I’m excited to see this. There’s just such a clear need for something like this and the technology is finally ready. (Full disclosure: I have a
