This is such a weird thing to read. You try to project your ideas on the kids, thinking that is the best thing to do. Let them be.
I learned Linux when I was like 13 or 14 and not because my father told me. He didn't know much about computers in early 2000/late 90ties.
The curiosity, the desire to learn, the need to set up my own isp, the need to start to make money, the curiosity of how html, php and other stuff worked let me to Linux.
Teach them how to be curious and feed that curiosity, the rest will happen.
And if they choose Mac over Linux, just get of their way, otherwise they will rebel.
Rolling your own generally has mainly downsides in the context they are in. 1. This is clearly a small team with very little spend 2. Tomorrow someone leaves and next engineer will have to manage all of this. 3. I don't think they realize that they actually increased cost of this service not decreased it. Now they need to manage their own Kafka monthly. Engineering time is expensive.
I do. I use assistants as containers for different conversations for my GTM work: An assistant for marketing and copywriting An assistant for customer support An assistant sales conversations.
These agents aren't super smart: just few PDFs for context plus a few sentences system prompts.
I do get what I want in 80% of use cases (not measured, just a feeling).
This is a weird demand to have in my opinion. You have plenty of applications on your computer and they only do what they were designed for. You can't ask a note taking app (even if it's open soured) to do video editing, unless you modify the code.
Thanks for sharing ChatbotUI. While I'm not an author, I use it extensively and contribute to it. Thanks to the permissive license, I could offer ChatbotUI as a hosted solution with our API keys. https://labs.writingmate.ai.
This is very well written and entertaining post. I enjoyed reading it.
Selfishly, would you mind sharing literature or blog posts that led you to this level of understanding of LLMs? I'm trying hard to understand the inner workings via experiments but definitely far behind your expertise.
Thanks
I'm surprised that only 3 people reported the error.
While problem is not trivial, my initial reaction was "it can't be 3, it's too obvious". And it seems that a lot of people in the comments here do get to the right answer on their own.
So, why not hundreds of reports?
I'm grateful to have parents who in their age, have energy, health and financial freedom to join us for celebrations from overseas. I'm grateful for my parents to be friends to me and all my friends.
As someone said here, I'm extremely grateful for free quality higher education I have received in my home country. And I'm saddened that many are in student debts for decades.
I'm grateful to be in the best health I've been in last 10 years.
I'm grateful to myself for quitting alcohol more than a year ago and sticking with it.
I'm grateful, for the first time, to feel financially stable for many years to come.
I'm grateful to United States of America for being our home and safe harbor for the past 10 years, especially last 3, given the global instability.
Hey folks, I'm a free customer here and a big-big fan of their project. I've been using narrative.bi for my project and sharing the results on Twitter [1] lately.
How I'm using narrative.bi: - A high-level report of WoW, and MoM changes on our website traffic that land in my email. - Alternative to GA4 UI, which drives me nuts.
What I don't get yet and I want to see implemented (I'll definitely pay for this): - Dimensional analysis: Which dimensions contribute to the topline change the most. I.e. Say unique users increased by 30% WoW, what top 5 dimensions have contributed to this change? Country? Device? Etc - Global event correlation: are there any global events that influence the metrics change? Maybe a holiday in the Country?

An interview about challenges and learnings of building chrome extensions.
I'd like to see the same website for classic software incidents. Especially harmful ones. That will feel up quickly
Use GPT-4, buy subscribing to OpenAI platform. You'll see stark differences. Also mandatory to watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbIk7-JPB2c
Not related to the content, the amount of ads in this website makes the article barely readable, especially on mobile.
You can downvote me here for a promo, but by using gpt3 directly you can bypass all the restrictions. Thats one of the reasons we built writingmate.ai (often outages of GPT3 being the second reason)
Can't reply I'm the original thread (why?) So I'll post it here. Somebody mentioned that large language models is potentially a great solution to bridge the gap of data literacy. I love this idea.
Take a look at Grammarly. A decacorn chrome extension
You have my attention. Can you please give more details about tax savings?
Thanks. Some very deep insights and market knowledge. Impressive.
Kubernetes cluster on a bunch of old smartphones.
Weird idea, but I can't stop thinking about it work on a project from time to time.
Eventually, I want a random person be able to "lease" their old phone compute to my cluster for reward.
Location: St. Pete
Remote: yes
Willing to relocate: yes
Technologies: python, Go, NodeJs, AWS, Cloud, ML, Kubernetes, DevOps
Resume: my last position was a staff software engineer/director of engineering at People.ai (YC s16). Green Card holder. Soon US citizen. Hired and managed SF/Bay area based people.
I'm looking for a part-time (10-20h) position. Good at cloud architecture, building teams, fundraising at early stages.

Can you explain why mobile developers run away from third party components?
I'm a full stack/data engineer and use third party components all the time. In fact, I'd choose a popular and maintained component for the job, instead of writing it myself. I have no issues using as many components as I need. This seems like a bad practice in mobile.
If I encounter a bug in my dependencies, I find it, fix and send the fix to the maintainer. The same as I would do with my own code.
Wow, I think this is a really good solution if it works for the author. Using same cue's to trigger more useful action.
I've been fighting with bad habits all my life. Sometimes successfully.
The social media addiction is the hardest to fight.
Here is what works for me (not at all times): 1. Remove social apps and only use browser 2. Enable two factor auth and only keep two factor app on your laptop 3. Change password using password generator and don't save it.
With all the above it makes it really hard to log into the social network.
Now when you are done with the social media app, replace it with something useful: I replaced it with Google Books, and now whenever I have an urge I open a book instead and read it. Much better than meaningless scrolling. Alternative app - Google Keep. I use it for writing blog posts.
I might be wrong, but this update is addressing a real problem that company is facing. This is not some hypothetical, slippery slope kinda thing.
For instance, in Belarus right now a lot of engineers seek to get out the country due to dictatorship regime. Poland and neighbourhood countries offer emergency visa plans for people in trouble (business harbour visa).
I think what happened is that GitLab started receiving a lot of emergency requests to be relocated immediately that did not comply the existing policy. Hence the update.
I've been using both hasura and postgraphile on my projects recently. The main reason is that I'm so fed up with building crud controllers for simple APIs. Both hasura and postgraphile do the job.
If I were to compare these projects: Hasura seems like a very well built and maintained project overall. With great documentation and easy to understand deployment process. I haven't hit any bottlenecks yet. I especially like the extensibility features such as webhooks. One major drawback for me is the language it is written in - haskell. Extending, patching, debugging will be hard in the future. I'm not even talking about hiring someone who knows haskell.
Postgraphile on the other hand is build on a more popular stack, but a less polished product in my opinion. Still does the job.
Also, for both hasura and postgraphile, I would like to see these projects support serverless deployments (aws lambda) out of the box. Is this something on your radar?
1. Specifically AWS RDS and Aurora. It is incredible how much time it saved for me in the past 7 years.
2. Resharper from Jetbrains and all IDEs from them. Using something like Eclipse was such a pain and nightmare.
3. Cloud and SaaS as a concept. Everything just became 10x better when moved to SaaS.
Can you elaborate? I'm being from a socialist country would love to deliver the same message to my parents
I'm a former h1-b visa holder. Had If I not had option to move to another company in 2014 I would have made my life miserable. New company allowed me to grow professionaly, make great friends and earn money my family deserves.
In addition to all these very useful answers above I would like to recommend the following approach:
1) Write an article 2) Do not hesitate to make any kinds of mistakes 3) Give it to a proofreader/editor 4) Compare your version versus edited one 5) Learn 6) Repeat form #1
P.S. for proofreading i would recommend oDesk, 300Editors or Wordy.
