Much like the restaurant industry, creative industries will probably bifurcate. Cheap (AI, drivethrough, takeout) for daily and most use cases, experiential (vinyl records, concerts, upscale restaurants) for special occasions, connoisseurs.

Hey I run a little recruiting startup, and we have a few roles at fintech companies in NYC--wanna send me your LinkedIn + resume?

Yeah based on my in-laws, Chilean seems understandable, though they tend to speak fast. Argentine Spanish is the strange one, due to the heavy Italian influence.

I can offer one data point. This is from purely startup-based experience (seed to Series A). A while ago I moved from microservices to monolith because they were too complicated and had a lot of duplicated code. Without microservices there&

What are your gripes with GCP? I've been using it for every project for a while, and am super happy with it, especially GKE.

My counterpoint: if your product is simply a ChatGPT wrapper, you have no moat. Whatever is complicated enough and is actually making money, and you feel the need to test it and make sure it keeps running, that's your moat, and that&#x

Message queues are difficult to maintain. Webhooks is the best solution IMO.

There's value, but it's too expensive, too slow, and too unreliable right now to be feasible from a business perspective.

Chain of thought takes time to generate all the characters. If you do a chain-of-thought for every action and every misstep (and you need to for quality + reliability), it adds up.

I built an AI-agents tech demo[1], and am now pivoting. A few thoughts: * I was able to make a simple AI agent that could control my Spotify account, and make playlists based on its world knowledge (rather than Spotify recommendation algos)

How does 0% interest rate actually affect this though? Are that many companies actually funded on debt now? Or are are sales down because their customers were purchasing with debt?

I just visited a few days for a surgery and this seems pretty accurate. The food weirdly was the same at every restaurant, regardless of the cuisine: super oiled up. Usually mayonnaise and something pickled on top. Like preparing me to go t

Thank you! I've used the CrossEncoder from the sbert library you mentioned to rank the vector search and keyword search results, but it still doesn't help that the vector search results are odd. This video suggests Elasticsearch i

Can you provide a larger context length? Looking for a replacement of GPT-3.5 16k model. Might be interested for a higher-scale project.

Question about privacy: OpenAI doesn't use API calls to train their models. But do they or Microsoft still store the text? If so, for how long? Overall, I think this is great, and can't wait for the 16k fine-tuning.

I see the point of the article, and even on a principled level I might agree with it (e.g., don't overly abstract). A few problems I see though: 1. If you make backend-only abstractions to keep your code even a little bit DRY, you&#x27

Maybe ticket isn't a great example. Another general problem I've had with mappings is say, one service uses a one-to-one relationship, and another puts both entities into a single entity. E.g., maybe there's a way to share ti

This is a very difficult problem. How do you deal with losing data fidelity? If one service's entity has X field, but all the others don't, do you include it or not? How do you deal with subtle differences in usage of terminology?

Yes, but is either going to save you from building the wrong features? Paraphrasing Ed Catmull in his book Creativity Inc, the cost of preventing errors is usually much higher than the cost of fixing them.

I'd say I'm the target market, and I don't have a hangup about subscriptions like other comments. I'm almost excited about this, but man, this feels painfully slow. Not like Salesforce slow. But death-by-a-thousand-cuts
