I mean, this debate is about immigration, right? So current location doesn't super matter, assuming you can amortize the cost of relocating a plumber across several years' worth of plumbing work.

It seems clear that LLMs significantly change threat model math, but this observation alone does not explain how or why; the asymmetry that you’re describing is a property of pre-LLM software as well.

Each of those examples varies widely, and I don't think most people would treat each of them the same way. In general when the stakes are higher and the ambiguity of outcome is less clear, secondary signals become more important. Concr

I took the trouble of logging in to HN to call bullshit on this whole thread. The reason these teenagers aren’t building standalone apps is generally because they know that web apps are the future. Moreover, there are dozens of new travel p

Shoot me an email if you’d like—I’d be happy to share any learnings from what I built if relevant.

For other public BigQuery datasets I’d certainly consider just adding them to the demo for free—which specific Bitcoin/finance datasets did you have in mind? For private datasets, we’re looking at adding that functionality to the core

Are you looking to set it up for another public dataset or your own private one? Either way, shoot me an email (on the demo page and also in my HN profile) and I’ll see what I can do.

Thanks for noting this! The functionality is definitely not perfect, and the opaque nature of the underlying model does not give much opportunity for tweaking. I suspect slightly altering your input might help drive better output.

Really? Wow, I would not have expected that to work. Might be one advantage of using this general model instead of a more specialized one.

The weather dataset has a bit of an unorthodox schema IMO, which gives the model more trouble than usual. That’s kind of the point of this demo, though: to what extent is generated SQL like this useful—despite its flaws—in the context of re

Nice! Yeah I have no doubt that a specialized model could beat this general one, although I find the output from the general one to be uncanny at times. Would love to hear your expert opinion on how they compare!
19.
by napoleond 5y ago
Yeah many rough edges indeed. The generated SQL is the plain output from GPT-3; I have not done anything to customize the model or validate syntax outside it, so the roughness is expected. No idea if folks will find value in this despite th

Awesome! Always happy to chat; my contact info is in my profile (and also at the bottom of the linked demo).

by napoleond 5y ago
Cool! Yes, the ability to customize the model ( https://openai.com/blog/customized-gpt3/ ) also seems like it could be really useful for this.

In terms of actually tracking and charting this data, it’s pretty useful to have it all in one place and queryable by SQL—this is not usually the case by default! I built https://www.tabbydata.com for SaaS founders who have this

This is a great overview of what to measure, at least for business metrics. (Shameless plug…) For folks wondering how to measure, and also how to track product metrics for their SaaS, I wrote a thing: https://www.tabbydata.co

I think this is why most sites—especially those targeting technical audiences—should rely on server-side analytics instead. Add some middleware to your web framework of choice which logs request data and parse that, or use something like h
