Why is this AI generated slop so highly upvoted?

California has banned non competes since 1872. You might be thinking about non solicits which was 2024 also reaffirming the ban on non competes

Unrelated. Has nothing to do with the gcp outage that was related to.

Always treat startup equity as 0 until you've sold it.

I've been about it as "throwaway software." Why bother searching for someone else's mediocre LLM generated software when I can just as easily (and hopefully as cheaply) generate th…

Kindle has been doing this for years and has really made me a loyal customer to them. Always surprised the penny pinchers at Amazon haven't killed it yet.

The demos I see for these types of tools are always some toy project and doesn't reflect day to day work I do at all. Do you have any example PRs on larger more complex projects th…

Less of a HN issue and more google allowing UGC on their research subdomain

My favorite example is the asana loader[0] for llama-index. It's literally just the most basic wrapper around the Asana SDK to concatenate some strings. [0] - https://github.com/em…

gpt3.5 turbo is (mostly likely) Curie which is (most likely) 6.7b params. So, yeah, makes perfect sense that it can't compete with a 70b model on cost.

Elbow method is a good place to start for finding the number of clusters.

Curious to know what value you've seen out of these clusters. In my experience k means clustering was very lackluster. Having to define the number of clusters was a big pain point …

GPT4[0] is actually very good with base64 to the point where it makes perfect sense. I'd be interested in how well you could finetune 3.5 to use different compression. [0] - https:…

Definitely a difficult problem you're taking on here, but I don't see anything specific to LLMs here? How or why are you marketing towards LLMs? How do you compare to the larger pl…

I had interviewed with Uber's ATG years ago and their pitch, even then, was that they were building a platform for whoever won the autonomous game to be available on uber, not just…

I played with building out a graphql mesh [0] of a few different APIs as I was curious to see if I could build one schema (and subsets of it) and have GPT interface over that. Turn…

I don't think this argument really holds up. GPT3 on release was more expensive ($0.06/1000 tokens vs $0.03 input and $0.06 output for GPT4). Reasonable to assume that in 1-2 years…

Would you prefer "LLM Reverse Engineer" then?

Nope. I have a fair bit of buffer / savings, and felt like this was an opportunity that I just couldn't pass up, so committed to it.

Actually just quit my job at Meta to do just that. So you're not far off, I think you'll be surprised at how many ex-FAANG startups you'll see in the comings months. At least in ou…

Are you using opencharka[0] then? I investigated that a while ago and was not very impressed or happy with any code that it generated, but curious to see if you've figured somethin…
