LLM‘s have been useful for ~12 months for the past 3 years. I’m not buying this any more: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateEnd=1753056000&dateRange=custom&...
They released air tools but you’d rather use a hammer to drive nails. It reflects more on /you/ than on the technology.

If you know anything about investing, you know it is highly likely to be either A a grift or B an innocent, but naive attempt.
From the website: "Quant Competitions Achievement In 2024, I achieved 7th place at Quantiacs, a global quantitative trading competition. With a background in financial software, I built AIvestor to democratize AI-powered investing tools that were previously only available to institutions." I have no idea of the legitimacy of Quantiacs, but for someone with these claims what they are selling is extremely unfaithful. A…
Quantiacs is absolutely a legit competition. If you are interested in quant trading it's impossible not to have heard about it. Here I can see that you have absolutely no clue about this field, which is fine, but don't act as if you're a market guru which "knows about current markets".
I don't know what knowledge you have about the current markets, these stocks shown on the landing page are picked by the agent. The SaaS I built is built on the OSS chatbot I created. I host it on a machine I pay for, I change the models frequently and you get support for any technical issues. People can still use the OSS agent, but they need to host it themselves, use their own API keys, do changes themselves etc.
I have no problem selling something that works for me and that I worked hard to bring up and I don't care what a random on the internet has to say, but do not spread misinformation about something that you have no idea on how it works.

I have to agree with this. Completely relying on LLM for all your learning needs is a disaster. But being absolutely against use of LLMs isn't doing you any favors. This is where you don't have a formula but rely on you judgement and evidence of your having learnt something. For example having an LLM summarize a dense topic and to find books so that you can filter faster and spend time reading those books works way b…
Make it your goal to teach a room full of other humans that topic. I guarantee you will know that material cold. I've done lots of technical training in my career and after teaching a class two or three times I find myself to be very competent in the topic. It's long been the case that the best way to learn something is to teach something.
This is, without exaggeration, probably the fiftieth blog post or long-form comment about how someone is using an LLM for "complex learning", and I'd just really like to see at least one of these to be accompanied by a statement saying what are the kinds of problems the author can now confidently solve that they couldn't before. In my experience, LLMs are really good for taking up your time and making you feel like y…

> don't really teach you anything Dunno, I've been learning a lot of Rust in the past few days. Just dove right into a project and asked AI to teach me stuff on a need to know basis. I'm actually getting used to Rust by now.
AI is a super polarising topic. Even now there are people who are like “it’s all AI slop so it’s all useless” along with the “OMG AI!!! OMG we will have AGI soon!!!” people. The truth, as always, is in between. There’s loads of people using it for useful things, learning, automation and getting good results. But it’s also wrong enough that you need to deploy it carefully sometimes. Don’t worry about either group. Kee…
