This line stuck out to me as well, but my follow up thought was different. I’ve had friends who have been on cocktails like these, and one of them once said something like, “I’ve been depressed before, and this is not that. I’m not depresse

There's really not much to share. I rewrite the prompt each time, but here's was a recent one: > I have an image of a hand drawn workflow diagram. I’d like to turn it into a mermaid.js file. (with the image attached)

That's an interesting idea. A lot of times what I'm drawing is a blend of what the code is versus what I want it to be post-refactor.

One of my favorite applications of multimodal LLMs thus far is the ability to: 1. Draw a DAG of whatever pipeline I’m working on with pen and paper. 2. Take a photo of the graph, mistakes and all. 3. Ask ChatGPT to translate the image into

I'm usually pretty verbose with prompts, so I wanted to see what chatgpt would do with just a "Schumpeter's Creative Destruction" https://chatgpt.com/share/66ff28e2-ea74-800b-a230-86d562f60f...

Yep, I'm in the rare disease space. "impossible" is pretty appropriate. It's tricky. On the one hand, it's obviously not appropriate to be flippant about patient privacy. On the other, it's clearly that advance

I want to second this. It seems like document chunking is the most difficult part of the pipeline at this point. You gave the example of unstructured PDF, but there are challenges with structured docs as well. We’ve run into docs that are h

The paper kinda leaves you hanging on the "alternatives" front, even though they have a section dedicated to it. In addition to the _quality_ of any proposed alternative(s), computational speed also has to be a consideration. I&#x

I read this article when I was in grad school 5 years ago. Absolutely love it and talk about it to this day. It really makes me frustrated about the ways I was introduced to statistics: brute force memorization of seeming arbitrary formulas

Hey, HN! Maybe not your typical startup announcement here, but I recently left my job as a bioinformatics engineer to start a company called Lodestar Bio. We are addressing challenges faced by families of children with rare diseases who are

It is exciting! As others in the thread are saying, the cost of individuals with severe rare diseases are also very high. Here’s a recent attempt at quantifying the costs across all rare disease: https://chiesirarediseases.com&#x

The game “20 questions” is probably the hardest I’ve seen chatGPT fail. What’s interesting about the game is that, at first pass, there’s no ambiguity. All questions need to be answered with “Yes” or “No”. But many questions asked during th

I've found that people have wildly different definitions of "systems engineering", but this one is lovely. And also, very close to my own. ;) https://jessimekirk.com/blog/whats_a_systems_engineer/
