Not disagreeing, but I feel there is something to be said about how the tools we use nudge us to do things a certain way. Similar to how using lambda functions and some document DB is easy and fast, but it often times…
I would say in addition to domain knowledge, it's also about intent. Code does not capture intent, it usually doesn't include the "why" just the "how". I argue you still need communication for the "why" to get to the…
Question, how viable are these tools and are they maintained? I genuinely want to know if this is mostly hype or are they actually good. I don't think trying myself would really give a better picture as I'm not a user…
I think it's both. I want to agree with you but it's also just human nature, I notice myself slacking even when I care, because it's easy. The human brain is really good at finding shortcuts. It's like saying it's the…
Yes. I've always suspected inference is profitable. But I'm also interested is retraining needed? how relevant will a model be in N years if it's just "static", and if you do need to retrain and fine-tune over time, is…

I think it's fairly likely medium to large corporations don't pay anywhere close to the listed API pricings as they get deals through existing partnerships with the big cloud providers.
Also think it depends on language, literally asked 2min ago from chatGPT (no login so maybe it's a shittier model?) > Hur många 'r' I abborre, använd inte web search? Det finns 3 r i abborre. And I explicitly had to say…
Huh, was not aware of that. Interesting

Is this something that happens by accident in the sense that the decision makers didn't know how it would sound or is there actually someone in a room at some point going "fuck it".
But hasn't bio attacks already been possible before AI, what has changed? Maybe the barrier to entry lowered, but one could argue the availability of info has not been the bottleneck for as long as the internet has…
I'm not disagreeing with your comment, should probably have made that clear. The SaaS to inhouse argument is just something I've heard that came to mind when reading this thread.
In stuff like wikis and ticket systems what I see is people now just making their own little tools around the ones we already use, this arguably just sements their position even deeper. Also I dont get the inhouse…
I agree with what you said, and _sometimes_ it's true, but I still wouldn't call it a "preference". One could argue there isn't a "need" to deliver faster and come up with solutions to problems, but is it a…
I'm a bit slow, I don't get the C argument?
I remember fighting with business about this in a startup way before LLMs, more code, velocity or motion doesn't mean more value. If I put on my optimist hat for a moment, I hope LLM's would finally make this obvious…
> Benchmark doesn't really show the whole story. For me it seems like benchmarks are mostly noise, and the rest is based on vibes. Some find newer models annoying, some are amazed.
Good use case. For some reason this reminds me A LOT of past discussions about microservices, most wonderful on paper and forever debated, but I've never seen it work out perfectly in practice, for me it's mostly been a…
This I can believe, also seen it on a personal level. But I'm not sure about the long-term effects of this, we just shifted the "subscriptions for apps" to "subscription for an app" AND you must now maintain said apps.
I would.
Here I am starting to think a central part of knowledge work is the knowledge gained. Maybe you are right, maybe not, let's see. Unfortunately I kinda agree, because humans are really good at being lazy and going in the…

I compare it to math, you can't learn it by reading it you need exercises. Same thing, reading is not sufficient. Just my experience.
