Hey I run a little recruiting startup, and we have a few roles at fintech companies in NYC--wanna send me your LinkedIn + resume?

Yeah based on my in-laws, Chilean seems understandable, though they tend to speak fast. Argentine Spanish is the strange one, due to the heavy Italian influence.

I can offer one data point. This is from purely startup-based experience (seed to Series A). A while ago I moved from microservices to monolith because they were too complicated an…

What are your gripes with GCP? I've been using it for every project for a while, and am super happy with it, especially GKE.

You don't see yourself hiring help for: * Keeping things up and running * Building the systems that the AI interfaces with * Supporting any large contracts ? In my experience, one …

My counterpoint: if your product is simply a ChatGPT wrapper, you have no moat. Whatever is complicated enough and is actually making money, and you feel the need to test it and ma…

Message queues are difficult to maintain. Webhooks is the best solution IMO.

There's value, but it's too expensive, too slow, and too unreliable right now to be feasible from a business perspective.

Chain of thought takes time to generate all the characters. If you do a chain-of-thought for every action and every misstep (and you need to for quality + reliability), it adds up.…

I built an AI-agents tech demo[1], and am now pivoting. A few thoughts: * I was able to make a simple AI agent that could control my Spotify account, and make playlists based on it…

While X's main use case works, I just tried to run some ads there. When trying to upgrade to verified org: "An unexpected error occurred" When trying to change my display name: "An…

How does 0% interest rate actually affect this though? Are that many companies actually funded on debt now? Or are are sales down because their customers were purchasing with debt?…

Cuphead should absolutely add a Mickey Mouse DLC.

I just visited a few days for a surgery and this seems pretty accurate. The food weirdly was the same at every restaurant, regardless of the cuisine: super oiled up. Usually mayonn…

I'm used to bull-queue, which has excellent UIs for managing jobs (retry, delete, etc.) but python support is limited at the moment. Flower is really bad IMO for managing jobs. Is …

> But when glyphosate encounters certain trace metal ions that make water hard—like magnesium and calcium—glyphosate-metal ion complexes can form. Those complexes can persist up to…

Thank you! I've used the CrossEncoder from the sbert library you mentioned to rank the vector search and keyword search results, but it still doesn't help that the vector search re…

Hi, I'm building an RAG system with OpenAI embeddings and the ChatGPT api. I chunked all the documents into 400-800 character chunks, vectorized them all, and put them in a vector …

Can you provide a larger context length? Looking for a replacement of GPT-3.5 16k model. Might be interested for a higher-scale project.

I’m not the OP, but here’s my reading list: https://tuckerconnelly.com/management-leadership

From Peopleware: “In the 1985 Jeffery-Lawrence study [from the University of New South Wales]…they investigated the productivity of 24 projects for which no estimates were prepared…

Question about privacy: OpenAI doesn't use API calls to train their models. But do they or Microsoft still store the text? If so, for how long? Overall, I think this is great, and …

I see the point of the article, and even on a principled level I might agree with it (e.g., don't overly abstract). A few problems I see though: 1. If you make backend-only abstrac…
