No apologies necessary, that's perfectly helpful. Appreciate the response and the candour!

Awesome, thank you! I am starting to do some work building LLM workflows and would like to stand on some giant's shoulders to skip the initial flailing :)

Would it be correct to say you have experience building LLM based workflows like this? I'm guessing so, given by your critiques and suggestions of better approaches. Can you recommend any books/sites/other for learning these kind of dos and donts?

If I worked with horses for 8 hours a day I imagine the answer would be "recently"

The article and your comment reminds me of one of my favourite songs which is a beautiful tribute to the ordinary - even dull - moments that make up life.

The song starts with a man in his deathbed whose life flashes before his eyes. As he is about to pass, he pleads with God to have one last chance to write down his ordinary life from start to end:

  Please! Seeing my life like this
  It made me think
  I could state succinctly everything life is
  If you gave me ink.
  And I could maybe print every speech and thought,
  And release my plot on these streets I’ve walked,
  With a piece of chalk.
  To paint the sharpest image of a heart
  *Cuz as much as art can mimic
  Nothing’s as real as a life told from start to finish*
He writes his story down on the floor of his town, and when he is done he finally passes. The next day people find his writing and are enthralled with what he described, moved by the candid retelling of an ordinary life:

  People came from everywhere
  They read the story through for days
  It wasn’t nothing new or strange
  Still they were moved and amazed
  *It wasn’t the places he’d been or the people he’d met
  It was the spaces between and the secrets he’d kept.*
  They wept joyfully, for the greatest story no one told
  Was just the story of an ordinary man growing old
I love the emphasised lines. People focus on the big moments - where you go, who you meet - yet what actually captivated the readers were the small moments that fill the gaps between everything else. That's where the real life is.

The song is "A Story No-One Told" by Shad https://genius.com/Shad-a-story-no-one-told-lyrics

You can find it cheaper if you keep an eye out. My partner just got one for £250 unlocked, no contract

My partner just got a 10a brand new, no contract for £250! Extremely good value.

I am not super studied in nazi symbology. I learnt about this symbol in high school history class btw.

It is not a regular skull and crossbones anymore than the iron cross (which you identify as nazi symbolism) is a regular cross. It's strange to insist on the former, while distinguishing the latter as obviously nazi.

Hmm I don't know. Other comments are suggesting that unless you're well studied in nazi symbolism you'd never know. I think I learnt about this in high school history class. I wonder if there's a European/American divide on this topic (I am European)

I think it is probably useful for people to familiarise themselves with Nazi symbolism though. You would be surprised how often you encounter people online using these obscure symbols, knowing most people won't recognise them.

It's an extremely well known nazi symbol. Probably second behind the swastika itself. There's even that famous "are we the baddies" meme, which uses that symbol as a central pillar of the gag.

Until case law establishes that people are in fact legally responsible for output, then it is just empty platitudes, I fear

Even if you have some AI transcribe in real time, they introduce the kind of subtle mistake - like negating a statement - that is plausible, but undetectable in retrospect without the accompanying audio.

I often review the transcriptions that zoom produces out of curiosity, and this happens constantly. Makes them essentially useless as a statement of record

I've been experimenting with aerospace for the last month. Still not sure if I enjoy the tiling aspect. It can get quite janky on occasions when multiple windows open at once. And it lacks some UI affordances (I'd love if you could make the focused app much more prominent). I might try this more limited approach

I wish macos for more serious about window management, it's extremely limited out of the box.

Could be both? Pay off the previous cohort and it signals to the next that they will get remunerated for their "assistance"

Curious why you categorize lightly cooked as good but high heat as bad? Do you mean deep fried specifically? Or any high heat?

Thank you! I'll take a look

Thanks. I think that's some unaffiliated website btw. While they seem to have provided sources for most of the stats, MAU is not one of them.

Netflix are not putting out manfiestos that read like a monologue from a movie villain, at least

Where is that figure from? I would be extremely surprised if that doesn't drop at least an order of magnitude as the hype wears off. Assuming it's even representative of today and not two months ago
