    Trivial examples show that this isn't nearly as good as ChatGPT. The headline should be changed.

    What makes you think copy and pasting responses from an LLM is the actual job being posted?

    Comment #35427188

    This is demonstrably false for many use cases. For one broad example, LLMs have shown incredible performance on many NLU and NLP tasks, that are not currently possible using other …

    That's why the word "engineer" is in the title and it isn't "prompt writer" or "ChatGPT user". It's highly unlikely that anyone taking this effort seriously is copying and pasting …

    Writing prompts and engineering together = prompt engineer. The engineering depends on the prompt and the prompt depends on the engineering. Just like an ML engineer, or a QA engin…

    This is an unhelpfully cynical take. The job title has "engineer" in it, so a more charitable interpretation is more serious than "AI monkey". Using LLMs to solve real problems is …

    For those with the new Samsung Galaxy S23 series, they use a Snapdragon X70 modem and so are not impacted.

    If you're interested in increasing EVOO consumption for the health benefits based on polyphenols, look into Moroccan olive oil, as it has very high polyphenol levels - as high as 3…

    You may be conflating programs running in a terminal and the terminal itself. We've managed to get this far without the latter.

    How confident are you that the results will indicate a level of impairment, rather than a particular concentration of THC? Other substances contained in cannabis have significant s…

    I don't have a book recommendation for you (what helped me was the standard documentation and about a year of daily dev time), but an observation: Your team is likely using an over…

    This is great! One way to offset the cost for job seekers is to take some part up front, and the rest in ~90 days when they get hired.

    I'm in the same boat. At this point, "growing pains" is not a legitimate excuse for this level of incompetence. I (wrongly) assumed that since Coinbase is based in SF and funded by…

    Hello Mr. Schneiderman, I hope that by "AMA" you really do mean, anything :) What is your take on the outdated gravity knife law?

    Lots of advice here is to go after pain points, or enter competitive markets, or to question your team dynamics. I have a different perspective: Set up a studio, where the team bui…

    Sure, I'd use it, but under the following conditions: - wired ethernet - lots of guard code that reconnects failed calls - customer is aware they will not get 5 9's or even 3 9's. …

    I'm basically a twilio engineer now. I do a lot of telephony, but no one wants to run and scale their own stack, so everyone ends up building against REST apis. Twilio has some of …

    Thank you for replying! The sub-mm scale would be to accurately model small things. When making a case for a raspi0, for example.

    Operationally, the CEO should probably not have write access to a master DB.
