I think there is one problem with defining acceptance criteria first: sometimes you don't know ahead of time what those criteria are. You need to poke around first to figure out what's possible and what matters. And sometimes the

I work as an ML engineer/researcher. When I implement a change in an experiment it usually takes at least an hour to get the results. I can use this time to implement a different experiment. Doesn't matter if I do it by hand or if

This reminds me of the idea that LLMs are simulators. Given the current state (the prompt + the previously generated text), they generate the next state (the next token) using rules derived from training data. As simulators, LLMs can simula

Problem no. 2 (Understanding user intent) is relevant not only to writing SQL but also to software development in general. Follow-up questions are something I had in mind for a long time. I wonder why this is not the default for LLMs.

At the beginning, the article mentions correlation with language skills AND problem-solving. Focusing only on language skills in the second half is misleading. According to the abstract of the original paper, problem solving and working mem

Hmm this gave me an interesting project idea: a coding assitant that talks shit about your lack of skills and low code quality.

Hopefully you'll forgive my ignorance, but this is the first time I hear about DuckDB. What space does it occupy in the DBMS landscape? What are its use cases? How does it compare to other DBMS solutions?

I have a few thoughts after reading this: - I started to see LLMs as a kind of search engines. I cannot say they are better than traditional search engines. On one hand, they are better at personalizing the answer, on the other hand, they h

Well I guess the author of the blog post agrees, since he talks about "its demise in the 1980s". Probably a lot of things have changed since then and honestly I am kinda curious about it.

I don't think using your real name helps that much. Most people on Facebook use their real name and still many have no issues with insulting other people or even supporting violence against individuals or groups of people.

Not a big fan of Ubuntu since they started forcing snaps on their users. I like many distros based on Ubuntu though. Like Pop!_OS. It was my daily driver for quite some time. But half a year ago I switched to Fedora mainly out of curiosity.

Sort of a meta answer: learning how to learn. It feels like the velocity of change is pretty high. So being able to pick up new skills quickly is important. I also agree with others that soft skills are incredibly important. As for fields o
