Isn’t a cosine similarity over the text embeddings a much more effective way to handle categorization? The whole reason why embeddings work so well is because they encode the underlying meaning of the texts

This is a very cool idea. If it wasn’t .net, I would love to re-use it for my own use cases.

Couldn't agree more. The opportunity cost of executing something is maintaining it. And that's where the real cost lies. Big companies won't execute our ideas because they need maintain everything that they execute. Plus, the

Having managed developers for over five years, I have seen two categories of devs (to simplify the argument, let's focus just on the smart ones): - one group loves to work independently and gets you the results, they are fast and they

True, there are people who are good with people. And they should totally become managers. But there are also the third kind: who like to design the systems and let them be built by someone else..

Same level of engineer here - I feel that the importance of expertise has only increased, just that the language has changed. Think about the engineer who was an expert in Cobol and Fortran but didn't catch the C++ / Java wave. Wh

Yes, you are right: amongst the four points, migration is the most contentious one. You need to be fairly prudent about migration and depending on the project complexity, it may or may not work. But I do feel this is a solvable problem long

Very valid point. I will lay down the facts for you: At my previous employer, I was generating $2.5million per year (revenue per employee). I didn't ship a single line of code. All the time was spent trying to convince various stake ho

I was at a big tech for last 10 years, quit my job last month - I feel 50x more productive outside than inside. Here is my take on AI's impact on productivity: First let's review what are LLMs objectively good at: 1. Writing boil

IMO, the writer is overzealous with their comments on LLMs. As a coder, it feels like an outsider trying out a product that was amazed me over and over so many times. > They aren’t perfect, but the kind of analysis the program is

Your discord link doesn't seem to work. One basic question: As a hardware noob, where do I start? Maybe having a minimal getting started guide could really help. Nevertheless, the initiative looks cool!

This is fantastic. The app is simple, useful and feels de-cluttered. Two of my feature requests: 1. Allow cmd+f search on the whole app - I wanted to search your post on the app but I couldn't 2. A browser button to open the current pa

This seems like a common problem. I am experimenting with how to consume less news (but still not miss the important bits). Built an agent that sends me daily summaries. And that's how I found this post! I am maintaining the list of wh

This is an awesome. I had a similar one: Convert the dense non-fiction books into something more readable. eg. SAPIENS vs UNSTOPPABLE US. But this makes me wonder: What is the barrier to entry for these apps now? Anyone can do it. There is

After working at the same (big tech) company for nine years, I feel like an outlier. My career has had phases of intense hard work and periods of rest. However, my happiness was influenced by many other factors. While working hard and being
