I think there is one problem with defining acceptance criteria first: sometimes you don't know ahead of time what those criteria are. You need to poke around first to figure out wh…

I work as an ML engineer/researcher. When I implement a change in an experiment it usually takes at least an hour to get the results. I can use this time to implement a different e…

I am a bit conservative when it comes to using AI to write code for me. However, I want to use AI to chat about my code - something like ChatGPT that sees my local files. So I star…

Imagine that the development of artificial superintelligence goes extremely well and we solve any possible obstacle. How do you imagine the ideal future, say in 50 to 100 years?

This reminds me of the idea that LLMs are simulators. Given the current state (the prompt + the previously generated text), they generate the next state (the next token) using rule…

I had this exact analogy in mind when writing point no. 3

Thanks, sounds kinda similar to my first point.

I had this question in my head for a few days. So far, I've been able to come up with 4 reasons: 1. It’s about optimizing the worst case. Maybe AGI isn’t coming that soon; we don’t…

Problem no. 2 (Understanding user intent) is relevant not only to writing SQL but also to software development in general. Follow-up questions are something I had in mind for a lon…

At the beginning, the article mentions correlation with language skills AND problem-solving. Focusing only on language skills in the second half is misleading. According to the abs…

Hmm this gave me an interesting project idea: a coding assitant that talks shit about your lack of skills and low code quality.

Hopefully you'll forgive my ignorance, but this is the first time I hear about DuckDB. What space does it occupy in the DBMS landscape? What are its use cases? How does it compare …

I have a few thoughts after reading this: - I started to see LLMs as a kind of search engines. I cannot say they are better than traditional search engines. On one hand, they are b…
