If you treat LLMs as know-it-alls and just copy the output, then your expectations of the current generation of LLMs are too high. That doesn’t mean they’re not useful though.

Definitely experienced all 3, but still getting more boost than drag overall. The large codebase context might be somewhat solvable and I've seen projects that use embeddings to fi…

Another great example! With the out-of-date SDK, I had a similar experience. ChatGPT got me started with ManifestV2 for the Chrome extension and I found out it's getting deprecated…

One Spanish episode going your way. Not sure it's Madrid Spanish, but should be decent hopefully. Let me know what you think :) https://www.buzzsprout.com/2196522/12927853

Got a spanish episode generated. Generic Spanish so far, but I did see they have some dialects on Play.HT. Let me know what you think :) https://www.buzzsprout.com/2196522/12927853…

I've started taking some tutored classes from Preply, that helps. Watching shows on Netflix, listening to random podcasts also helps. But bridging this Duolingo-to-fluency gap, tha…

Alright, I can definitely try generating that. So far I've got requests for Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Russian then.
