Any recommendations to achieve that?

Re:How I Use AI (Nicholas Carlini) on Saturday August 03, 2024 @11:45PM (#41151038)
If I know technology which I am using llm for then llm helps me to do it faster. If I am not familiar with technology then llm helps me to learn it faster by showing me win the code that it generates which part of technology is important and how it works in real examples. But I do not think it is helpful and I would say it may be dangerous depending on task you do if you do not know technology and also do not what to learn it and understand how generated code works.
AI is not a bubble and already bring real benefit and will bring even more in future. It will spread more and at some point it will became so common that we will just use it and just talk less about it. For example, same happened with mobile phones, at first everybody was talking about them but now everybody just use them and does not talk much about it.

Links that you have provided are good for learning how deep learning in general and LLMs in particular work. But if you are interested in only building the products based on existing models (like GPT models from OpenAI) you will not need those details of inner work and how those model are created. In that case learn from OpenAI documentation, Azure OpenAI documentation, Azure AI services documentation and etc.
Large Language models are pre-trained by creators on the huge data.

In many cases you do not need to do anything with LLM and you can just use it.

If they were not trained on the data that contains information that you are interested then you can use technique called RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation).

You also can do fine-tuning which is kind of training but on small amount of data.

It is not only “just making API calls”. In many cases you need to do mote than that, like RAG, constructing prompt, data pipeline for whole process, etc.
To do statistical analysis Yes. To develop statistical software or novel statistical methods No.
Re:Ask HN: Reasonable reasons to refuse coding assessments on Saturday July 27, 2024 @04:33PM (#41089149)
Maybe you are replying to wrong comment. I am not suggesting anything. I am asking the question if it is often the case that someone who is applying to programming job truly does not know how to program.

> I’d listen as I’m really just looking to filter out people who can’t code at all (a surprisingly large number of people).

Do you mean that people are applying to the programming job without knowing how to program?

If you compare containers to VM then for me containers worth it because I do not need to manage OS. I use containers in cloud. But everything depends on you use case and resources that you have

AWS is not only hardware but also software, documentation, support and more.
Re:Ask HN: LLM Subscriptions, Why? on Sunday July 21, 2024 @09:10PM (#41029976)
Not everyone knows how to use API.
I do not think that is currently possible. Windows has support that no other OS has. Most big companies use Windows for workstations. Windows does not currently have alternative in that area and we cannot just throw it away without real alternative.
Robots. I think humanity needs that something will do non-intellectual work for us, like cleaning and etc. This I think will increase humanity happiness more than something doing intellectual work.
If the discussion is about the interesting topic I will start from top and go to bottom while collapsing discussions which I have read with “-”.

Can you share what you have learned?

I think you should use as least dependencies as possible.

If it is "about life as well" you may benefit from counseling.

Also, maintaining healthy lifestyle will also help.

What is your daily work look like? What is your salary?

For PyTorch, while I have not learned it myself yet but I am planning to learn it and I have heard that it is good course for it https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/learn-pytorch-for-deep-lea...
How good are you in math? Do you know linear algebra and calculus?

I truly like HN as is. Simple and does what it should do.

That sounds very interesting. How you find founders? Which ways do you recommend?

Ask HN: Cloud solutions architects specialized on ML and data engineering?

I usually hear about cloud solutions architects that do not have a particular specialization.1. Any specialized cloud solutions architects that are specialized on machine learning and data engineering solutions?2. Is this type of specialization in demand?4.What your typical day looks like?5. On what to focus to become the successful one?
