#103It would be interesting to run this same analysis using Claude 3 Haiku, which is 1/40th of the price of GPT-4o. My hunch is that the results would be very similar for a fraction of the price.

#104I'm more interested in technical side of this, but I'm not seeing any links to GitHub with the source code of this project. Anyway, I have a tangential question, and this is the first time I see langchain, so may be a stupid one. The point is the vendor-API seems to be far less uniform than what I'd expect from a framework like this. I'm wondering, why cannot[0] this be done with Ollama? Isn't it ultimately just syst…
You really don't have to use langchain. I usually don't except on a few occasions I used some document parsing submodule.
The APIs between different providers are actually pretty similar, largely close to the OpenAI API.
The reason to use a paid service is because the models are superior to the open source ones and definitely a lot better than what you can run locally.
It depends on the task though. For this task, I think a really good small model like phi-3 could handle 90-95% of the entries well through ollama. It's just that the 5-10% of extra screw ups are usually not worth the privilege of using your own hardware or infrastructure.
For this particular task, I would definitely skip langchain (but I always skip it). You could use any of the top performing open or closed models, with ollama locally, together.ai, and multiple closed models.
It should be much less than 50 lines of code. Definitely under 100.
You can just use string interpolation for the prompts and request JSON output with the API calls. You don't need to get a PhD in langchain for that.

#105> HAS TO BE A BOOLEAN VALUE! How we can have a world where this statement exists, and anyone is bullish about LLMs? The lack of precision is appalling. I can see how a gpt-4o can be fun for toy projects, but can you really build meaningful real-world applications with this nonsense?
Yes, I have built many. Also, have you met any humans? What about their lack of precision?

IMHO, I believe the peak was due to a combination of Zero Interest Rate Policy (ZIRP) and the pandemic, both of which have faded out this year. Elon Musk's highly publicized firing of a big part of the Twitter work force also set a precedent for lay-offs in the industry. But I am still optimistic that we will many such peaks ahead of us.
> Elon Musk's highly publicized firing of a big part of the Twitter work force also set a precedent for lay-offs in the industry Layoffs across the industry were already well underway when Musk completed his first round. I think some tech company execs were happy to use Musk as a high profile excuse, but investors everywhere were demanding layoffs/corrections as early as Summer 2022.
yep it was the bad economy, not to worry it will improve next year.

We're a growing B2B company in Norway. We struggled for years to fill in-person positions. We've been at least 2-3 devs short for the past 6+ years. That is, until December last year. Then it was like a flood gate had opened up. Suddenly we had tons of candidates to try to select from. I knew things were bad over in bay area and such, but I didn't expect it to hit the market over the pond here so quickly and abruptly…
It is getting more and more apparent that BLS has been cooking jobs numbers.
I don’t understand the downvotes. Chairman of the federal reserve stated that jobs are overstated.

This won’t directly answer your question, but it hit the front page here a while ago and I think you may enjoy it:

#110Beautiful analysis! Great to see the hard stats on the technology breakdowns on the hiring threads with a clever LLM approach. And the write up was super clear.
