i was at the cvs right next to the extra storage when the helicopters showed up and all the police it was kinda nuts to be so close to an event like this.

That’s genuinely far more interesting and exciting to me (and I’m sure others too) than this sort of breathless provocation, esp if code and prompts etc are shared. Have you written about it?
ewild · 9 months ago
i have not written about it due to me being a silent partner in the company and dont want my name publicly attatched to it, but the code and prompts is all more like talking to a buddy is how i use it, i ask it to build specific things then i look through and make changes. For instance a few examples i can give is there is a lot of graph traversal in my data i built, I'm not an expert on graph traversal, so I researched what would be a good algo for my type of data, and then utilized claude to implement the papers algorithm into my code and data structures. I dont have the llm in any steps that the customer interact with (there is some fuzzy stuff but nothing consistently run) but i would say an llm has touched over 90% of the code i wrote. its just an upgraded rubber ducky to me.

If i wasn't experienced in computer science this would all fall apart however i do have to fix almost all the code, but spending 10 mins fixing something is better than 3 days figuring it out in the first place (again this might be more unique to my coding and learning style)

I'd like to see any actual case studies. So far I have only heard vague hype.
ewild · 9 months ago
i mean i can state that i built a company wihtin the last year where id say 95% of my code involved using an LLM. I am an experienced dev so yes it makes mistakes and it requires my expertise to be sure the code works and to fix subtle bugs; however, i built this company me and 2 others in about 7 months for what wouldve easily taken me 3 years without the aid of LLMs. Is that an indictment of my ability? maybe, but we are doing quite well for ourselves at 3M arr already on only 200k expense.

None of those arguments are the salient one, which is that a geopolitical adversary has control over a major influence vector on US public opinion. They could simply have divested.
ewild · a year ago
to me this is the only important one. Not only can they subtely influence the entire us culture, if they were to get in trouble for it, then what? the US doesnt have any influence over them we would just ban them and at that point its too late. realistically it already is too late. a huge point imo aswell is we ARENT at war right now, but if we are at war the amount of information china can both push and obtain through tiktok would be large enough to change the tides of a war

How do you contextualize the chunk at re-write time?
ewild · a year ago
the original chunk is most likely stored with it in referential format such as an id in the metadata to pull from a DB or something along those lines. I do exactly what he does aswell and i have an Id metadata value that does exactly that pointing to an id in a DB which holds the text chunks and their respective metadata

If you can get a 5090 for that price, I'll eat my hat. scalpers with their armies of bots will buy them all before you get a chance.
ewild · a year ago
it is absurdly easy to get a 5090 on launch. ive gotten their flagship from their website FE every single launch without fail. from 2080 to 3090 to 4090

the irony in you blasting all over this thread is that you dont know how it even works. You have 0 idea if their claims of scaling linearly are causing bottlenecks in other places as you state, if you read actual docs on this its clear that the actaul "compiler" part of the compiler was put on the backburner while the parallellization was figured out and as that is now done a bunch of optimizations will come in the next year

You should be worried because this stuff needs to make sense financially. Otherwise we'll be stuck with it in an enshittification cycle, kind of like Reddit or image hosting websites.
ewild · 2 years ago
people like you are the problem. the people who join a website cause it to be shitty, then leave and start the process at a new website. Reddit didnt become shit because of Reddit it became shit because of people going on there commenting as if they themselves are an LLM repeating enshittification over and over and trying to say the big buzzword first so they get to the top denying any real conversation.
