I actually think the legacy completion API is superior to the newer chat creation API. The completion API takes all the input as a single string, whereas the chat API expects input as a list of messages. Given today's common use of age

Great idea! The demo looks impressive. What are your thoughts on real-time translated captioning compared to AI voice? I guess it's still difficult to mimic nonverbal elements like laughter and pauses.

"synthesize large amounts of online information" does it heavily depend on the search engine performance and relevance of the search results? I don't see any mention of Google or Bing. Is this using their internal search engi

I actually like how NULLs behave in SQL. They mean "I don't know" In the modern programming language we all care about Null safety. But no matter how you model your data, you will always run into the situations when you don&#

Those mini apps are built on the same web stack. I believe the main advantages of creating mini apps are that the platform provides identity (allowing you to know who the users are upon permission approval) and payment APIs.

I'm a heavy use of tmux integration in iterm2. this allows seamless mouse scroll in a tmux window. I haven't seen any other terminals that provide the same tmux support.

so the WebRTC helps with the unreliable network between the mobile clients and the server side. if the application is backend only, would it make sense to use WebRTC or should I go directly to realtime api?

i think cursor is the only player that forked vscode. i've been using cursor for a week and i really like it. it's able to auto complete/correct code in multiple places at the same time. other copilot extensions in vscode wer

I like the UI. The chat interface is a good fit for this task. How do you prevent or should you prevent users from entering "write me a fib(n) in python" in the chat? To me the chat is solely designed for table creation directives

what do people think about installing new software from less well known companies and giving the app full access to all your files? how would i convince myself that this software won't upload my data in the background?

Cloudflare has a switch to block all the unknown bots other than the well behaved one. Would this be a simple solution to most of the sites? I wonder if the main concern here is that the sites don't want to waste bandwidth/compute

what are the pros and cons with pydantic models vs data classes? i like the runtime validation in pydantic models. the pattern i landed on is that 1) only use primitive data types such as str, int, pydantic models and pandas dataframes to p

i think llama.cpp has context caching with "--prompt-cache" but it will result in a very large cache file. i guess it's also very expensive for any inference api provider to support caching as they have to persist the file an

Good point. it's not a problem with JSON. It's just that most of the JSON libraries by default parse numbers into floats.

for any APIs related to money, should the currency be in strings as opposed to in floats? This will prevent accidental float arithmetic in the code. I always find it tricky to work with currency in javascript.

I reviewed the code in this project and it looks pretty reasonable. I thought CSV was a loosely specified format. In my past experience, I never had a smooth experience moving data from one system to another using CSV. I had a lot of troubl

I don't think visual programming language can or should replace code in plaintext. I like the idea of visual programming at higher level. It can be very good at communicating data flow, business logic and processes. But each of the bui

This is not true. For LLM data labeling, the knowledge workers are very well paid. The hourly rate is way above minimum wage. The questions oftentimes require domain knowledge. They are complex enough and cannot be answered by random person

I think LlamaParse is trying to solve a hard problem. Many enterprise customers I know have strong need to parse PDF files and extract data accurately. I found the interface a bit confusing. From your blog post, LlamaParse can extract numbe
