I basically jump away from Cursor to ChatGPT when I need to think thoroughly on something like an architecture decision or an edge case etc. Then when I've used ChatGPT to come up with an implementation plan, I jump back to Cursor and

Feels to me that it's Google which has done the most recently to optimize the cost/performance-ratio of these models and no one seems to be talking about it.

Yup! I'm also hopeful that the upcoming type-checker from Astral will be an improvement over Mypy. I've found that Mypy's error messages are sometimes hard to reason about. [0]: https://x.com/charliermarsh&#x2

Truly one of the great python programming books. The one thing that I found missing was the lack of static typing in the code, but that was a deliberate decision by the authors.

While I don't have firsthand experience with these models, I recently discussed this topic with a friend who has used tree-based models like XGBoost for time series analysis. They noted that transformer-based architectures tend to yiel

Came here to point this out. Silo never had to invest huge amounts on GPUs. A shrewd move by the founders.

When was this? I might go chasing this lead down, but even a fuzzy estimation of when would help. Will come link it here if I find it.

This seems really cool, but I guess most companies in the EU won't dare to use this due to GDPR concerns and instead will opt-in for the Azure version, where you can choose to use GPT-models that are hosted in Azure's EU servers.

Lots of reasonable people seem to hold this view. Sam Altman himself mentioned believing this in the Lex Friedman podcast. Here are tweets from famous HN users Simon Willison[0] and Patrick Mckenzie[1] endorsing the viewpoint as well. [0]:

This baffles me. I signed up for the GPT-4 API on Tuesday and got access to it yesterday. Not to mention being able to interact with the model through ChatGPT almost immediately after they made it available.

I’m personally defaulting to pylance, flake8, black, mypy (strict), autoflake and isort to keep my Python code sensible. That said, it usually takes me like 15 minutes to set this all up in VSCode.
