I work in finance and we have prod excel spreadsheets. Those spreadsheets are versioned like code artifacts, with automated testing and everything. Converting them to real applications is a major part of the work the technology division doe

The captcha would have to be something really boring and repetitive like every click you have to translate a word from one of ten languages to english then make a bullet list of what it means.

I think most of this trial and error "You are an experienced engineer" stuff probably hurts model performance. No one ever does comprehensive testing so eh, yolo. https://github.com/agoodway/.claude/blob&

For an even lighter system than Celery, I'm a big fan of https://python-rq.org/ It's super low on the dependencies and integrates nicely as a library into python applications. It's very bare bones.

OTOH most model APIs are basically identical to each other. You can switch from one to the other using openrouter without even altering the code. Furthermore, they aren't reliable (drop rates can be as high as 20%) and compliance &quot

To me, that is the only way to write code. One of my friends calls it "development-driven development".

Xeon Phi was so cool. I wanted to use the ones we had so much... but couldn't find any applications that would benefit enough to make it worth the effort. I guess that's why it died lol.

That's a good application but likely not one requiring a full standard library on the GPU? Procedurally generated data on GPU isn't uncommon AFAIK. It wasn't when I was dabbling in GPGPU stuff ~10 years ago. If you wrote in o

This is useful when selecting a model for an initial application. The main issue I'm concerned about though is ongoing testing. At work we have devs slinging prompt changes left and right into prod, after "it works on my machine&q

This also doesn't protect from a "trusting trust" attack where the LLM read my webpage and gets tricked into inserting a vulnerability in the application itself working on. I feel like the only good sandboxing at this point i

Yes in practice I've done fairly simple tasks using AMP at work and ended up with bills of 100-150$ for them which is somewhat less (but similar order of magnitude) as contracting out to LCoL countries. Depending on how the technology

At work we pay per token because we use a third party tool (amp) and it is very pricy. OTOH the subscription model is obviously not profitable. It's priced to capture market share, like Uber in 2010. (TBH the token pricing is probably

I don’t know how this works but assuredly polymarket takes a cut, right? So if we were betting on a coin toss on polymarket, the payout would be less than 2 for both heads ands tail after accounting for polymarket’s fee. That’s not differen

You won’t have to buy stable coins, you’ll just pay with your credit cards. This is basically sports gambling applied to the sport of news. I bet they’ll use the same kind of emotional manipulation too: “Real republicans (fans) bet here.” Y

I've gotten much more excited about our future AI overlords since it has led to all kinds of people at work asking me how to use tmux!

That's why you run with "dangerously allow all." What's the point of LLMs if I have to manually approve everything? IME you only get half decent results if the agent can run tests, run builds and iterate. I'm not go

You can understand how transformers work from just reading the Attention is All You Need paper, which is 15 pages of pretty accessible DL. That's not the part that is impressive about LLMs.

Also, having to retrain users to use a new shitty UI after they got used to the previous shitty UI is a major moat of many SaaS services. The user doesn't care about the web portal, they just want to get work done. Switching to a diffe

I think that's just true in general. Business users at $work are already saying that they would rather just talk to ChatGPT (with voice for some reason I, a keyboard person, doesn't understand) than deal with GUIs. They want to de

Interesting theory, I would have assumed the exact opposite. People who want to drive fast and take risks will select manual driving because they'll find the autonomous cars too boring.

I don’t know if they used the new ChatGPT to translate this page but I was served the French version and it is NOT good. There are placeholders for quotes like <quote> and the prose is incredibly repetitive. You’d figure that OpenAI o

Depends on the product. Some products just have a single supplier for the whole world over, because they are extremely specialized. It's not uncommon though for eg departments to have common equipment that they negotiate together.
