    This particular example aside, I don’t think it being derivative and simplified is necessarily bad. Libraries that are popular today were written for humans and reinforced by LLMs …

    Is the difficulty that in high entropy situations, you can’t really tell whether it’s because the model is uncertain, or because of the options are so semantically similar that it …

    Despite being a different kind of writing, there are some interesting parallels with the article in what you wrote here

    I’ve been experimenting with LiveStoreJS which uses a custom SQLite WASM binary for event sync, so for simplicity I’ve also used it for regular application data in browser and foun…

    Of all the interface modalities available, CLIs seem like the most natural for copilots to work with. Lots of examples in the training data, universal interface for help, maps well…

    How do they prove this? It sounds like the plaintiffs basically claimed they were rejected a bunch of times and since the resume had recognizable indicators of protected classes th…

    This is a great use case for using an algorithmic difficulty ramp where it can really dial in that curve to solve for getting people to play longer over multiple sessions.

    I’ve built lots of pre-LLM data processing pipelines like this and the more I read people putting “agents” into this kind of context the less they resemble agents like the Anthropi…

    Isn’t this an arbitrage opportunity? Offer to pay a fraction of the cost per token but accept that your tokens will only be processed when the batch window isn’t big enough, then r…

    What kind of customers are using this API? I’ve had many similar thoughts but I get hung up on the idea that customers are “developers” from a marketing standpoint, because those d…

    If I’m understanding this correctly, if you set off one bomb the explosion travels at a certain speed, but if you put a bunch of bombs in a circle and set them off one at a time, t…

    There’s a trope where the best white hat is a former black hat because they can recognize all the tricks, I wonder if training an LLM to be evil and then fine tuning it to be good …

    FWIW I’ve been doing a lot of work with text to SQL and in that space verbosity in naming tables and columns matters a lot because it adds additional context about what data is in …

    I’ve been working on some tooling to create better views of analytics based on the idea that people don’t like to write joins so why not create logical views that do all possible j…

    I think a lot of times this is not about skill sets but more that data engineers don’t build datasets with UX in mind. The examples in this piece are not what show up when a leader…

    I often wonder if you can create databases like this using the data in the training datasets of LLMs. Generate the list of spices by asking for categories, countries of origin, etc…

    Enhancing the comments on the existing data model seems to be the most common approach for sure. I'm implementing this as a data architecture at several clients and I've found crea…
