If I am being honest, the value came from doing evals and testing against different models. Essentially all I needed was a way to upload a data set, run tests against that data set…

I highly rate Braintrust. It wouldn’t be too difficult to build something like that for your own usage, but I found it pretty easy to get datasets set up. Essentially a game change…

“I admit that I still disagreed with him after the exchange, but I had a new respect for him as a designer because he was able to articulate a rationale for his decision.” Any comp…

Aren’t people researching the companies they are applying for? Also, I don’t think I have ever applied to a fake job.

I’m sure the welfare of the Iranian people is a top priority for Trump.

Marginally related, I feel the same way about honesty, especially in a work context. I’ve always prided myself in being an honest but considerate person. A recent experience with a…

Talk to people. There are an infinite amount of problems to solve. Deciding whether they’re worth solving is the hard part.

We analyse thousands of lines from a csv using an LLM. The only thing that worked for us was to send each individual line and analyse it one by one. I’m not sure if that would work…

I’m really not sure I follow this argument. A lot of software has friction to get to the value. This is often because of constraints not choice. To give a concrete example of this,…

This also goes the other way too, you don’t assume the original is incorrect. I see this a lot with developers who come in and start to criticise before understanding. There is alw…

How do you introduce any tool/change to a team of people? You get buy in, start having conversations see what AI people have explored. Have they tried claude? Do they prefer other …

My time in the military has made me hate acronyms with a fury. https://acronyms-suck.com

If you focus on the differences that’s all you’ll see. The opposite applies too, if you try hard enough you’ll find plenty of similarities with an Eskimo. We’re all just people in …

I didn’t even realise that was a possibility with iOS. Thanks!

I’m curious have you ever been burnt or seen anyone burnt by copyright infringements in code? Sometimes it’s super obvious because a game company steals code from a previous employ…

What do the markdown files look like?

Curious to hear more about this, do you have any examples?

I think we misunderstand each other. Accounting is quite broad and there are many examples of where LLMs can help. For example, what is tax deductible is subjective to local laws. …

I understand your pain, but this is very country dependent. For example, most of what you describe can be solved using Xero in Australia.

Why is AI unethical in its current form and what would make it ethical for you?

I find this take so strange, do you find no value in AI? I don’t even want AI to replace us, but it’s a great tool with many use cases.

To be clear, I agree with you. Our target market is accountants. I want to help them not replace them. In the same way security audit tools aren’t replacing professionals, but that…

I disagree on this, there are plenty of problems in accounting that an LLM can help with. I’ve built some software[0] that analyses general ledgers and uses LLMs to call out any co…

This is key, I’ve had great work environments where we’ve had lots of fun solving problems together.

At my last work place everyone talked about how great therapy was. Curious I decided to try it myself. Turns out therapy was great, it made me realise that my work place was toxic …
