Why would you wait for dust to settle down? Just curious. Productivity gains are real in current form of LLMs. Guardrails and best practices can be learnt and self imposed.


> Productivity gains are real in current form of LLM

I haven't found that to be true

I'm of the opinion that anyone who is impressed by the code these things produce is a hack


I just started a project, they fired the previous team, I am possitive they used AI. The app is full of bugs and the client will never hire the old company again.

Whoever says is time to move to LLMS is clueless.


Humans are very capable of creating bugs. This in itself is not a tell.


"Because one team doesn't know how to use LLMs, I conclude that LLMs are useless."


Can you show any product created by a those imaginary teams using LLMS?



I am talking about real work. Who is going to pay me to build that?

I have not even seen a CRUD app with real users wrote using AI tools.


You proved his point bro. That site does not even load.


Shrug, loads fine for me.


That site is in Cloudfare am I right?

Cloudfare gets blocked in some parts of Europe on the weekend... Only the DNS, not really blocked.

Football is more important.


I think there's an issue with IPv6 resolution, but I do think it's a Cloudflare issue, as they're the ones who insert that IPv6 hostname I can't resolve. This doesn't happen with any of my other sites, though, it's odd.


If it works tomorrow you know why.

They block random Cloudfare IPs related with sport streaming sites.


Are you in Spain? I've seen it in Greece, but only on one of my devices.


I am not in Spain. But I am Spanish. I think it gets blocked in Spain and in Italy.


Whenever I hear about productivity gains, I mentally substitute it for "more time to play video games left in the day" to keep the conversation grounded. I would say I rather not.


If you have two modes of spending your time, one being work that you only do because you are paid for it, and the other being feeding into an addiction, the conversations you should be having are not about where to use AI.


Your "productivity gains" is just equal to the hours others eventually have to spend cleaning up and fixing what you generated.



Will be great if they're next


Almost none. Even if this situation prolongs, it will only affect the bordering areas in the north. India cannot afford a war if it wants to grow as it projects itself on the international stage as an alternative to China. Pakistan cannot afford it financially.


To put size in perspective: India is 7th largest country, half the size of Australia, or a third the size of US


I am Indian. Not sure if this is because there are too many of us but except for part of cities these days, social connections like these are normal.

I have at least a dozen neighbours, I can walk in (uninvited), have tea and gossip. And not all of them are necessarily my friends. Some are.

Pretty much everyone I know has their little neighbourhood circle like this.


It’s not uncommon for Hindus from northern India to worship Sikh Gurus alongside their own deities. Similarly Sikhs often visit Hindu temples. This is generally not seen as unusual.

While there have been some instances of tension between the two communities, things are not as bad as media might suggest.


Right, I just meant that as an "outsider" I admire this particular pillar of values that are espoused daily.


Maybe it's just my echo chamber but people in India seemed more pro-Trump. This is despite Kamala having Indian roots. People usually take pride when anyone with Indian ancestry doing great on the world stage.


> This is despite Kamala having Indian roots

I'd imagine most people can see past origins and skin colors, especially when it's such a shaky argument. You don't support someone just because their mom were born in your country 70 years ago


> despite Kamala having Indian roots.

She hasn't really embraced that, although being raised by her indian mother and presumably closer to her than her Jamaican father, she hasn't her visited her ancestral village or come in her official capacity or been part of any major India - US initiatives.

Indians like diaspora who actually embrace their identity, there is comparable example with Rishi Sunak, his achievements was celebrated because he made the effort to connect, although Indians(in India) would disapprove of his and Tory policies around immigration.


I mean Modi is (was?) the member of a radical nationalist hindu milita from the age of 8. Modi has been popularly elected multiple times so seeing someone similar win the US election is probably what you want to see if you are a BJP voter.


Because Trump is more vocal about having friendly ties with India. He bothered to go out of his way and visit the country, attend public events in it and have diplomatic talks.

Biden and his administration, meanwhile, just conveniently ignored the whole country. He only visited because he had to for the G20 summit, and talks were lackluster.


Of course, India rightly believes that Modi will be able to handle Trump through flattery and appealing to his "strongman" image. This also feeds into the desire and belief that in projecting or using power that is prevalent in India. Trump is the better candidate for all the strongman governments in the world.


This is sad to hear. I guess Trump’s values (whatever they might be) resonated more with them than Harris’s progressive liberal values.


India is extremely conservative due to Hindus being majority. What US considers far-right is considered left-of-center in India. US has gone so far to the extreme left that if Kamala had been elected you would have had full blown Communism next. It had gotten that bad. Too bad you guys don't realize how effed up it all looks from outside your bubble. Especially those countries who have already gone through that Hell (India went through that for 60+ years before we elected Modi). God saved America from total collapse today. That's all I'll say.


I do drink occasionally but I can go forever without drinking. It doesn’t bother me.

My relationship with smoking is different though. I smoke on occasion but I crave it for the next day or two. If someone told me smoking was healthy, I would start today.

I strongly advise against getting into casual smoking.


>I had to do a heuristic layer on top to break up the PDFs into small chunks so the output didn’t overflow

How do you stitch the outputs of all chunks without losing the overall context?


The output is just individual line items from the invoices, so all you have to do is concatenate the outputs of the chunks. If there was data that crossed a page, it would have been harder!


What’s your experience with API cost? I've also tried something similar, but I often end up using up my balance too quickly.


I can generally have these tools solve a simple issue in about 0.1 USD, or "complex" issues in 1-2 USD (complex generally just means that I'm spending time prompt engineering to get the model to do the right thing).


> Microsoft has access to almost everything OpenAI does. And now Altman and Brockman will have that access too.

Microsoft still has to deal with OpenAI as an entity to keep the existing set up intact. The new team has to kinda start from zero. Right?
