So strange, does the author think companies never try to understand their customers?

I don't get why a normal corporate internal resource system its being framed as ridiculous. Does the writer not know about "personas"? Weird tone.

I worked through this for a tax company. They had a huge pile of artifacts from tax questions worked up for clients. What we did is we "reverse engineered" the process of the quest…

You would think this would be obvious to everyone. Clearly Apple is prepping for a digital overlay on the real world. Also less UI interaction, more voice/AI interaction.

How easy is the set up, does this need to be deeply integrated in each step of the life-cycle?

It does mention that, it calls that out specifically. As you grow, it’s tempting to fix every issue using the ‘cowboy’ method. It’s fast. It’s efficient. It leads to good results. …

You introduce a point I have not seen discussed before which is that these type of content distribution platforms go through a process to find their global minima. Twitter at the b…

'you put more bits into the prompt, you get more bits out.' I think your line there highlights the difference in what I mean by 'insight'. If I provided in a context window every m…

I don't disagree that there is never a need for 'new data' to make progress. But there is plenty of novel engineering that can be done with 'new data'. Just needing insights and co…

Agreed! Don't get me wrong, the statistical distribution modeling for human language is still SUPER helpful. And for things like legal/tax/coding, which has a lot to do with applyi…

Interesting, could you give me an example? LLMs definitely can "understand" what I am asking at times when a human couldn't. They have more data to 'find similarity' to what I migh…

The closest example I could think of is the (maybe true, maybe myth making) story of SpaceX using car wash valves instead of super expensive 'space grade' valves that did the same …

Yes! The ChatGPT moment has warn off. And there hasn't been a step-change other than Claude Sonnet 3.5 + Cursor for dramatic impact (which is only for coding) since then. I 100% ag…

This is the big idea in the paper, basically that CoT is limited for some complex problems because there is a class of problems where there is no 'textbook' way to find a solution.…

In your view, does any company that does business with government organizations count as sucking on the government teat?

I did not notice any implication of Americans being incapable of innovation. It is wrong and, frankly racist, to imply immigrants are used to suppress wages.

What is the "killer app" for something that would take this enormous level of effort?

If you work more hours and take more overtime, you will make more money you can use to build wealth. Seems like a clear link.

> Retrieval Aware Fine-Tuning (RAFT), presents a novel recipe to prepare fine-tuning data to tailor the models for domain-specific open-book setting, equivalent to in-domain RAG. I…

What is the best place to use hosted versions of these models? We want to interact with it same as the OpenAI API.

Where did they openly lament?

Yes it would be very hard to make a bad technology choice when you thought through the whole system
