Was fun exploring this months ago. Back then even the smallest amount of game knowledge you could provide a model would drastically improve their performance. Most of it is in their training data but they hallucinate a ton of incorrect information.

"Consistently achieving >99.95% availability of our GPU nodes" What do GPU node availability numbers look like for other companies? Do they share these numbers?

Something to try for sure. Company recently migrated some ancient on prem databases to AWS, would've been useful then perhaps.
This reminds me of all the people asking for AWS to be spun out of Amazon.
Just read that part recently, highly recommend the book too!
Re:Python 3.15.0 on Friday October 09, 2026 @11:45AM (#50022207)
Quite a few nice features, need to play around a bit with them more though. Lazy imports seems nice mainly for my work at the moment.

Re:I Started a "Dirt Notebook" on Saturday July 18, 2026 @06:48AM (#48956816)
I did the same 2 years ago. Used to make every notebook about a certain topic/theme and with a certain structure/style. It held my notes back so much... The solution was just to write anything in any way I wanted to in that moment
Re:Completing a computer science degree on Coursera on Monday July 06, 2026 @05:08AM (#48802320)
