I disliked them a bit, but then they stopped flying to a certain destination. I quickly realized that the other airlines were 3x more expensive. I realized I actually cared about price much more than any possible extra leg room or other per

Ask HN: What are you actually using LLMs for in production?

Because LLMs are based on the abstract ideas of neural nets from brains. Say what you wish, but some problems were completely unsolvable before we adopted this paradigm. On some level, we must've gotten some ideas close to the right ba

I had the same confusion initially, interestingly chat GPT gets it: So while wolfgang42 wasn't there when Ulbricht was actually arrested, their realization created a vivid mental image of the event unfolding in that space, which made t

Is there reason to believe that the extra voters would've helped Kamala instead of Donald?

What successful projects have you birthed and how do they compare?

So you're saying it's better to be like most people: to promise nothing and then deliver exactly that, perfectly on time.

How do you reconcile his "bullshit" with the fact his spaceships are saving astronauts from space?

Wow! I love this take. Somehow with all this evidence of COT helping out LLMs, I never thought about using it more myself. Sure, we kind of do it already but definitely not to the degree of LLMs, at least not usually. Maybe that's why

I think it's because OpenAI's leadership lacks good taste and talent. Realistically, they haven't shifted the needle with anything really interesting in 2 years now. They're using the inertia well but that's about i

Except last I heard it's getting merged with the hated React router and it's not really clear what that implies, no? Haven't used either, just reading.

OP here. Thank you! I think your singling out of truly complex apps like Notion makes the situation more intuitive to me.

To clarify this, I think it's reasonable that token prediction as a training objective could lead to AGI given the underlying model has the correct architecture. The question really is if the underlying architecture is good enough to c

Yeah, I don't get it. I used Vue because it was straightforward. The options interface was Vue. Now, if it keeps getting more complicated and also has two ways to go about things, and the docs are split into two as well... Why not ju

My experience with Superhuman has been terrible. Back in the day, I tried to sign up. Couldn't. Then they started allowing sign-ups, but there was a mandatory onboarding/sales call to get started... Finally, some time ago manage

I think you're right that for a dog to live its best life it needs the ability to spend a lot of time outdoors with relative freedom. Our labrador had the chance to live like that in an excessively very large garden for his last 4 year

Maybe the limitations of the software arise from the fact that it's being sold at a price that's relatively too low? It sounds like it's very niche software with only a handful of users like you at most. With a small number o

Nothing survives over a long enough time scale. So the US will fall from grace and fail too. The question really is, is that going to happen within our lifetimes and what effects will we see in the meantime?

Great point. I think that might be in line with the idea if we take it to its full conclusion. Any way it goes, expect change. The meta mistake is assuming the patterns we've seen in the last 10/50/100/1000 years/et

I think one should look at this as a nudge to think and re-examine our intuitions. The world and its 'order' has changed many times in the past. The leading empires rise and fall every couple of centuries, pandemics and wars devas

I needed osm data at one point. Never managed to figure out how to do it the proper way. To get data you need, you need to download massive 100Gb files, in obscure formats, and use obscure libraries. Info is scattered, there are HTTP APIs b

There’s probably lack of cpabalities on multiple fronts. RAG might have the right general idea but currently the retrieval seems to be too seperated from the model itself. I don’t know how our brains do it, but retrieval looks to be more in

RAG feels hacky to me. We’re coming up with these pseudo-technical solutions to help but really they should be solved at the level of the model by researchers. Until this is solved natively, the attempts will be hacky duct-taped solutions.

So far OpenAI's template is: amazing demos create hype -> reality turns out to be underwhelming. Sora is not yet released and not clear when it will be. Dall-e is worse than mid-journey in most cases. GPT-4 has either gotten worse o

Doesn't really matter if I do because I don't doubt some people feel strong emotions on this matter. But the fact remains, this is an ad and guitars aren't going extinct. People should get a handle on their emotions. Also, I&

If they apologized it's because it's the best PR move. The execs definitely aren't sweating over "destruction of human experience".
