    Isn't the sample super biased? StackOverflow is increasingly bleeding users to AI tooling. Shouldn't we expect the remaining users to be increasingly distrustful of AI? I don't use…

    I love working with LLM text embeddings. The idea of a list of numbers being able to encode semantic information and being able to do math on them is magic to me. Unfortunately, it…

    Could you share the product and some details about it? I'm curious.

    Wut? The causation can flow the other way as well. Having high tike preference results in lower household income. And time preference is probably genetic. They literally controlled…

    Yeah, I'll add a reference to it. Are you watching the repo ?

    I can cook it up if it would actually get some users. Ultimately, I want to make a tool where you can plug in any arbitrary document store/scraper to an LLM with RAG. But I think w…

    The projects are dead simple. I think if Youtube wanted to, the would have implemented this long back. It's probably a legal landmine and financial tar pit. But thanks nevertheless…

    Yes. I made two recently. - TalkToYoutuber[1]: Download the transcripts from a youtube channel and hook it up to gtp4 with RAG to let me "talk" to youtubers. There's a bunch of you…

    This is overly simplistic thinking. Of Course increases in technology isn't the only factor determining aggregate societal well being or happiness or whatever. But it would be naiv…

    Conversely, you can't come up with a proof like this if you don't love math.

    Europe is to Eurasia what the Pacific NorthWest is to North America.

    This is tortured reasoning. Or worse, deliberately misleading phrasing on your part. Let's say that some unspecified statistical technique found two distinct clusters from some giv…

    Everytime I read one of these "how to hire" posts, it's always a opinionated clusterfuck of a process that is arbitrary/capricious, gameable and biased towards what OP thinks are g…

    > Yes, taxes are higher. But so is average quality of life, as opposed to average GDP What does the second part of the sentence have anything to do with creating tech companies?

    Are you making a quantile-quantile comparison? It's probably likely that you are making way more than the average romanian dev and the same is likely to apply in norway.

    Can you go in some high level details as to why it was slow and what you did to make it fast. That's always the most interesting part of a post like this.

    I don't think saying you have a bone to pick with "AI" is doing your message any favors. What are you specifically against LinearRegression? XGBoost? ResNet? LLMs? AlphaFold?
