Just for fun, I used ChatGPT to reverse a string as my first test of using their API. I was amused at how much work it took to get the LLM to give me just the reversed string, and even then I didn't feel I could fully trust it. I lea

There are a lot of careers with no formal training on-ramp. If demand for software engineers continues and there’s no practical way to get enough on the job experience, there will be plenty of self taught developers that grind long enough

I don't think an LLM will be good at spotting fake resumes. I was trying to point out that if you use an LLM to screen for matches to the job, you can expect to find a lot of people that used ChatGPT to customize their resume to your

I just finished a recruiting contract & helped my startup client fill 15 position in 18 week. Here's what I learned about using LLMs to screen resumes: - the resumes the LLM likes the most will be the "fake" applicants wh

I actually like Erlang, but I personally feel it has a lot of rough edges. I'd probably spend a lot of time polishing them to the point where I'd just reinvent Elixir, so I prefer Elixir for that reason alone. The other reason I

You can write a single file Elixir app if you want to. There's nothing preventing this. Setting up a simple web server w/ Plug is straightforward. You'll have the same problems you'd have with a non-trivial Flask app,

I’ve found that it’s easy to data-only eSIM package through an app store app such as Saily, but it’s harder to find a service that gives you a “real” phone number when traveling internationally. Any recommendations?

My personal 2FA favorite is OTP + authenticator app. It behaves predictably and doesn’t have weird failure conditions. SMS 2FA tied to your mobile number sucks if it doesn’t support Google Voice, especially when traveling internationally a

I was a digital nomad for 4 years. The ability to do your own laundry is why I prefer an Airbnb over hotel, especially when you’re only living out of carryon luggage with a few days of clothing. Relying on hotel laundry is hard to time a

I’m pretty sure the parent comment is referring to capacity constraints. When the Americans come online in the morning, Claude frequently can’t keep up with demand and error messages saying the system is at capacity are common.

Maybe. One thing I've found is the LLMs give me a lot of short term leverage. I can (get an LLM to) program in a language I know almost nothing about. Then I hit a wall where I don't know enough to get the LLM to fix something

Personally I thought the video was interesting. Even if it’s promoting a company agenda, the technology itself is cool. I learned some stuff.
