I'm working on Pocketdata - a personal, private AI data plane. The idea is to take boring components: PostgreSQL, Bifrost (LLM gateway), Open WebUI, LanceDB, Agentgateway (MCP and OpenAPI gateway) and deploy them in Fly.io. One Fly.io

It's not super easy to port a library with domain-specific ML/DS algorithms built around Pandas, such as accepting Pandas dataframes as arguments to its functions and class constructors.

I don't buy this "object storage + Iceberg is all you need for OLAP" hype. If the application has sustained query load, it makes sense to provision servers rather than go pure serverless. If there are already provisioned serv

Every once in a while, before falling asleep I enter a "mellow" state in which I can conjure mental images dramatically more vividly than normally. I would say that normally it varies between 10-50% of vividness (also depends on t

What are the other four frameworks? > For one, who wants to do stuff in tensorflow anymore let alone tensorflow-probability. AutoBNN is a JAX library and has nothing to do technically with TF Probability. It was developed by the TF Proba

The big question is whether we really want more centralised cloud applications of this sort in the AI future, with its potentially exacerbated risks of data breaches, identity theft, spam, etc. Having a "Rama" for local-first, tru

Bad analogy. Get in good shape to feel better, have more energy, be more attractive to other people, etc. There is no point of getting good at arithmetic today, indeed. I agree people need to continue study to understand the world (if they

Ok, then what's the point of defining 'intelligence' out of existence, if neither LMs nor humans are 'intelligent'?

It might be that humanity becoming non-chauvinistic about their value is the necessary thing for survival.

You can't do it in your basement as of 2023 . Very important qualification. It's entirely plausible that continuous evolution of ML architectures will lead to general AI which anyone can start on their phone and computer and lear

Bingo. That's why working at all these companies is morally problematic. Unless software engineers "vote" by going to work elsewhere, this won't change. Looks for companies with solid ethics, and with founders who have b

You have excellently described the job of business analysts and system architects, but this is not the job of 90% of programmers today, including senior-level. Part of this is already done by other people and doesn't require specific p

There will be just a short transition period. In 10 years, AI will be writing most of code, and in 20 years - nearly all code. People will do only architecture/business analysis. No more "exploitation" of labor.

Perhaps people on HN start sensing that successors of Github Copilot will take their programming job. Rightly so. Personally, I think that in the age of AI programming any notions of code licensing should be abolished. There is no copyright

This is really the same argument as it used to be: help intelligences (used to be only human, now artificial) to find bugs by matching text with code.

That's a really long term bet, at least 50 years from now. By that time wealth in the current sense of the word might become meaningless (or might not).

Of course miners would not oppose (usually) what developers propose because they have highly aligned and interlocked incentives. This is an open system, but it's also very undemocratic, and it's design and direction are determined
