Isn’t this sort of just “chain of thought” (i.e. the seminal https://arxiv.org/abs/2201.11903 ) where the user is helping the model 1-shot or k-shot the solution instead of 0-shot? I’ve used a similar technique to gre

While I like that you debunked the article . . . I want to hear an argument for where the SWE job market can grow in a post-Claude world. I might expect something like: “CEOs are naturally greedy. So after trimming the team, they then rec

It’s not cutting corners. Apple does most of their testing using strictly internal resources, like secret “mini malls” in the Silicon Valley area. They fail because this testing biases their sampling; users must sign draconian NDAs to part

Appreciate the nature and scale of the internet... and also how it's changing though, yeah? While I agree with much of the article's thesis, it sadly appears to ignore the current impact of LLMs ... > it’s never been easier to

uv can also run even a beefy linux desktop out of file descriptors for larger projects. And does not have deterministic / reproducible installs. Still needs maturity.

A key idea premise is that LLMs will probably replace search engines and re-imagine the online ad economy. So today is a key moment for content creators to re-shape their business model, and that can include copyright law (as much or more

A candidate wants a _competitive_ offer. While stock is almost impossible to compare across offers, candidates can at least stack-rank the company’s funding and check to see how the proffered percentage compares to the mean for the funding

Hugginface is mostly AWS, so these experiments might be done on an AWS-provided cluster? I wonder how many of the results are reproducible on "open market" clusters listed on e.g. https://gpulist.ai/

It’s also important to weight dramatic changes in the White House this week, too, right? There’s the intel itself, but then there’s also the guy trying to control the news cycle.

Can you sell or re-sell colo space to a handful of customers who might put TT or other “weird” hardware there? Doesn’t scale, but it hedges your own business. Requires the right customer though, like somebody who might buy Nervana / Xe

The main idea behind DSPy is that you can’t modify the weights, but you can perhaps modify the prompts. DSPy’s original primary customer was multi-llm-agent systems where you have a chain / graph of LLM calls (perhaps mostly or all to

They claim unlimited access, but in practice couldn't a user wrap an API around the app and use it for a service? Or perhaps the client effectively throttles use pretty aggressively? Interesting to compare this $200 pricing with the r
