It is one thing to not use AI because you enjoy the process, or because you believe that art is inseparable from the act of creation. But she claims that the fact that AI exists decreases her drive to create. That is a much stronger and les

I've spent some time looking into all these methods before, but all of them required substantial amounts of plastic in contact with plants/water and in full sun/heat. Are you worried about leachables? To be clear, I'm no

Prompt they use in `Figure 28.` is a complete mess, all the way from starting it with "Your are an expert" to the highly overlapping categories to the poorly specified JSON without clear direction on how to fill in those fields. S

A very naive question: why are "dry and on the shelf" not worth buying, when so many of the food-related microorganisms obviously work fine through such distribution (baking yeasts, various yogurt starters, cheese molds, etc.)?

Oh that's nice! Any references on this shortcut? How do you activate that behavior? I was playing around with ES, but the only suggestion I found was to use `count` on filters before deciding (manually) which path to take.

I'm facing the problem you describe daily. It's especially bad because it's very difficult for me to predict if the set of filters will reduce the dataset by ~1% (in which case following the original vector index is fine) or

This thread should end up in the hall of fame, right next to the Dropbox one. From a fellow LLM-powered app builder, I wish you best of luck!

Agreed, I failed to mention this detail, thank you for adding. But hopefully you agree that his description paints a completely ridiculous picture.

I tried explaining in the other comment here. In summary, it's beautiful, raw nature, that's different from anything else I've seen. It takes some preparation, but I haven't experience any of these "sun will kill yo

Having been to Greenland recently, I found his description of it similarly flawed.

Code with logging is "self reporting". Adding logging statements is not reporting itself. Adding `logger.error(f"{job} failed")` is not reporting itself, and LLMs are perfectly capable of adding such statements in applic

Exactly. I tend to like Hotz, but by his description, every developer is also "a compiler", so it's a useless argument. My life quality (as a startup cofounder wearing many different hats across the whole stack) would drop si

In the context compression approach, why aren't the agents labeled as subagents instead? The compressed context is basically a "subtask". This is my main issue with all these agentic frameworks - they always conviniently forg

The question was "why does it feel more real", and I answered that - because the best AI generated images today feel more real than the best 3D renders, even when they take all the compute in the world to finish. So I can imagine

Not OP, but I have long thought of this type of approach (underlying "hard coded" object tracking + fuzzy AI rendering) to be the next step, so I'll respond. The problem with using equations is that they seem to have plateaue

I am in no way disputing that some people would feel that way because of AI, just as some performing classical musicians felt that way in the advent of the audio recorder. What I am saying is that (1) I regard this as an unhealthy relations

If the core idea that was intended to be broadcasted to the world was a "contribution", and LLM simply expanded on it, then I would view LLMs simply a component in that broadcasting operation (just as the internet infrastructure w

Over the last 7 years I've built 3 major products that needed charts. Every time I tested most of (at that time) popular solutions. All 3 times eCharts was by far the best option, across all criteria. Incredible library!
