Imanari··on Ask HN: How are you using LLMs while coding or everyday work
aider-chat with the newest Sonnet model. Loving the new #AI! comment function. I use it for implementing changes, architecture discussions, making one-off scripts to move files etc.
Imanari··on DSPy – Programming–not prompting–LMs
Can someone explain how it works?
Imanari··on Ask HN: Claude 3.5 Sonnet vs. o1 vs. <other> for coding. Let's talk!
Out of curiosity, could you give an example of 30 loc python code that would require a lot of text to describe? I usually find that high level descriptions with maybe one iteration with refinements work surprisingly well if the assistant has knowledge of the context.
Imanari··on Ask HN: Claude 3.5 Sonnet vs. o1 vs. <other> for coding. Let's talk!
I like aider with the claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022, haven’t tried it with O1, though.

Also, https://aider.chat/docs/scripting.html offers some nice possibilities.

Imanari··on Ask HN: Life-changing purchases since 2020? (Under $100 and under $1000)
Under $100: Breathe Right nasal strips.

You can get off-brand ones for about 10ct a strip. For 3 bucks a month I get much improved sleep.

Imanari··on Extracting financial disclosure and police reports with OpenAI Structured Output
Does anybody have experience with Azure Document Intelligence? How does it compare to OAIs extraction capabilities?
Imanari··on Ask HN: What's a software project that made people's lives better?
Would you mind giving some insight to your approach?
Imanari··on Favorite LLM coding tools besides chat-interface(s) and OpenAI/Claude-Sonnet
aider.chat

command-line driven, you give commands, the system directly changes your code and commits the changes so you can easily go back.

Imanari··on Ask HN: How can I sleep more and deeper?
I personally had good experience with a ZMA supplement for exactly the problem you described (not a severe though). More vivid dreams also.
Imanari··on What We Learned from a Year of Building with LLMs
The core issue that parent is talking about is that the decision-tokens should built on the reasoning-tokens vs the reasoning-tokens are generated according to the decison-tokens. RAG just provides the context the LLM should reason about.
Imanari··on Ask HN: What if AI won't replace anyone – then is it cool?
Could you elaborate on your setup and what tasks you delegate?
Imanari··on Ask HN: Could we skip speech to text using vector databases?
Interesting idea. This made me think of these audio illusions[0] where what you hear depends on what you expect to hear. I wonder if this would present challenges for the proposed approach.

[0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FXQ38-ZQK0 sorry for the fast-food-tier video, best I could find that was not a short.

Imanari··on Ask HN: Good Books on Time Series Analysis?
Check out the works of Eamonn Keogh. I think his methods are very up to date and applicable as most of his algorithms have implementations in sktime/tslearn/stumpy etc.
Imanari··on Ask HN: How to get into quantitative trading?
Hit me up if you want to chat. I‘ve been a hobbyist algotrader for some years (with mixed results).

I’d say this: It is very hard to beat the market consistently. It is even harder to statistically prove and convince yourself that our new strategy actually now beats the market. There are a lot of gotchas and caveats to watch out for when backtesting.

I spent most of my time with time series techniques as this was most fun to me. My current stack is ccxt, binance, polygon.io and self made backtesting in python.

Imanari··on GraphCast: AI model for weather forecasting
Interesting indeed, only one lagged feature for time series forecasting? I’d imagine that including more lagged inputs would increase performance. Rolling the forecasts forward to get n-step-ahead forecasts is a common approach. I’d be interested in how they mitigated the problem of the errors accumulating/compounding.
Imanari··on Ask HN: Best Solution for Chapped Lips?
Seems to have very similar ingredients to the DIY solution from another poster. Essentially bees wax and some kind of oil and/or butter. I’ll give it a try, thanks!
Imanari··on Ask HN: Best Solution for Chapped Lips?
The added vitamins are interesting, I’ll give it a go, thanks!
Imanari··on Ask HN: Best Solution for Chapped Lips?
Pure coconut oil is one of the things that actually make my lips more flaky. I feel it might help in hot and dry climates but not so much in cold climates.
Imanari··on Ask HN: Best Solution for Chapped Lips?
Very interesting, thank you!
Imanari··on Ask HN: Data Scientists, what libraries do you use for timeseries forecasting?
Actually, I had a similar off-putting experience with tsfresh. I just thought it was due to me not understanding how to use it properly. The API is indeed pretty weird.
Imanari··on Ask HN: Data Scientists, what libraries do you use for timeseries forecasting?
For feature engineering check out tsfresh and sktime, especially the minirocket algorithm.

Imanari··on Ask HN: Help me summon the strength to finish my project
Read "The War of Art" by Steven Pressfield. This book is about exactly this kind of resistance.
Imanari··on Ask HN: How did you improve your communication skill in second language?
Alcohol also helps a ton with foreign language speaking. Are there any parties at work or events where you could have a drink or two? The confidence boost and positive speaking experience could have some carryover to sober work life. Other than that, give it time, push through until you don't care anymore, you will get there.
Imanari··on Do It Yourself Bookbinding
It can be a very nice personal gift as well.
Imanari··on Ask HN: What Back-of-the-Napkin Calculation Should Everyone learn?
15% of 33 is the same as 33% of 15. Sometimes you get an easier calculation by switching the numbers this way.
Imanari··on Ask HN: Has anyone else just gotten bored of the Internet?
With that title you spoke my mind and coincidentally I am of similar age. Maybe the internet didn't change so much, maybe you just got tired of it? Ultimately, I think doing things is more fulfilling than being on the internet so it might be actually a healthy reaction that you become depressed.
Imanari··on Ask HN: What are some ways to improve listening skills over Zoom?
I think the cutting off that you experience is also caused by the audio lag in Zoom meetings.

What somewhat works is to start your sentence with a "So... " (or something similar). That way you can easily pull back if the other one was not finished and on the other hand you gently signal your desire to say something to others.

Imanari··on Wim Hof breathing technique can modulate immune response to pathogens (2014)
All I can say is that Wim Hof breathing makes me feel real good. It wakes me up and calms me down at the same time, its very pleasant. This effect is both physical (you feel energized) and psychological (your thought quiet down and you become more present).
Imanari··on Lord of the Manor: a medieval city builder game
Very pleasant how intuitive you start building the city. I kind of missed seeing villagers running around and it is kind of hard to see if a building is active. The game feels really nice but I missed a bit of that visual feedback, but that might be just my taste. Nice work.
Imanari··on I thought I would have accomplished a lot more today and also before I was 35
Nicely put. Care to share your writing system?
