As a candidate, I'm finding the job market extremely hot, specifically early stage companies in and around AI. Just wanted to put that out there for anyone who might find the info useful - I was worried after hearing apocalyptic things

I like using AI or generative AI. Each term we use signifies the era of the technology. When I was starting, expert systems were the old thing, AI was a taboo phrase that you avoided at all costs if you wanted funding, and ML was the term o

Pour one out for all of the people the founders convinced to join the company and paid with equity that is now essentially worthless as the founders all abandoned the sinking ship they drove.

I have seen this discussed in hiring decisions. I don't know that it played a large factor in a decision, but lack of experience in the standard tools/practices/terms of software development because of a career at Google was

Side projects where the fundamental goal is to rediscover the joy. Not to complete something. Not to build well-tested maintainable software. Not to acquire users. Not even necessarily to learn or practice. Just to play with computers like

The short answer is that the technology as of today works and is useful. Text summarization. Text rephrasing. Image, text and video generation. Intent extraction. Voice generation. AI brings structure to previously unstructured data. AI all

Feels like an incredibly shallow take on this technology. I predict this article will age horribly within a decade. IMO if you can’t see the difference between crypto and LLMs, you aren’t paying enough attention. I think it’s much closer in

I agree that the world isn't changing tomorrow like so much of the hype makes it out to be. I think I disagree that engineers can skip this hype train. I think it's like the internet - it will be utterly fundamental to the future

I think enforcement could have some positive uses. Think of reddit automod and what you could do with prompt engineering + LLM-driven automod. People's opinion of automod will vary, but I think it is a powerful tool when used right - t

Also on my project list - the AntiAssholeFilter. It's so interesting the ways you could handle this. Personally, I would want to just transform the comment into something that doesn't even mention that that the commenter wrote a m

Customer support is interesting here. I think you're very right (personally I think that the new AI in the article is a bad idea). I wonder if the ideal is transforming speech into multiple modalities. Maybe make the speech kinder to a

This use-case may be good or bad, but the logic underneath it is 100% correct IMO. Fundamentally, these new models allow you to encode and communicate high-level thoughts in the same way that the internet allowed you to encode and communica

Google Brain spent oodles of money developing that tech only to watch other people capitalize on the research and potentially make Google Search (one of the stickiest products I've ever seen) obsolete. Freeform, self-directed, open-end

I've run large GPU clusters on OCI, quite happily. The hardware and interconnects are very good - NVIDIA has a good relationship with them because they are one of the clouds not making their own silicon. GPU clusters are Oracle's

IIRC, the difference is server_default vs default. One is generated DB-side, the other in the Python code. Might be wrong on that, but that's my recollection
