    You can't simplify learning that way, learning is expanding your mental horizon, by learning something you grow and can take bigger things.

    The LLMs are a way to get quick feedback and getting it promotes quicker learning (if the feedback is good). Learning is difficult, sometimes I get blocked on something and before …

    Do you trust everything you read or how do you verify that the LLM is not hallucinating and giving you erroneus content?

    SQL seems to be a great fit because of how easy is to verify the output.

    Are you building something in this space? Or are you giving the resources directly to a llm chat interface along with some prompt?

    Ask HN: How are you using AI to learn?

    It's time to start learning advanced topics again and I thought it'd be at least interesting to take advantage of LLM's to help me learn better or faster. I've read here that some …

    I think SWEs will still be needed but to do higher level work. The thing is, there will be less SWEs per company. Obviously I dont know ehat will happen, but my guess is that there…

    I don't know what requires more skills: creating Bitcoin or avoiding getting identified after all these years.

    In my opinion, conferences are mostly high noise low signal. My boss went to an "AI conference" last month and all the learnings he shared were things I was advocating already: - u…

    The truth is that no one really knows. My approach is to "ride the wave", don't resist, just try to use it as an advantage and if not possible, adapt and look where I can keep addi…

    Nice, I'll take a look. I was thinking about building a benchmark similar to the one you described, but first focusing on the negotiation between the store and the product supplier…

    I was eagerly waiting for a chapter on semantic similarity as I was using Universal Sentence Encoder for paraphrase detection, then LLMs showed up before that chapter :).

    I had been working on NLP, NLU mostly, some years before LLMs. I've tried the universal sentence encoder alongside many ML "techniques" in order to understand user intentions and e…

    Yes, and these problems are more present in the first iterations, when you are still trying to get a good enough agent behaviour. I'm still thinking about good ways to mitigate thi…

    Hey fellow hners, OP here. Been working on agents for a while so I started sharing some things. The idea is to keep updating this post with a few more approaches I'd been using.
