pknerd··on Show HN: A web debugger an ex-Cloudflare team has been working on for 4 years
Is it something similar to Userback?
pknerd··on Daniel Dennett has died
I am sorry that I did not know about him but mentioning of "Consciousness" in the linked article made me to google about his books. One of the book is "Consciousness Explained", I wonder whether it is for layman like me who do not know much about it?
pknerd··on Justin Trudeau announces $2.4B for AI investments in Canada
umm.. when is the election in Canada?
pknerd··on Ask HN: What is the most useless project you have worked on?
As long as you have been paid for that "useless" project, you should be happy about it. You learned something...plus..you can showcase that "useless" project on your profile or something to get new work.
pknerd··on Every Dunder Method in Python
41 upvotes is a solid proof that people found it easier to navigate thru the OP's site than official docs.
pknerd··on LLaMA now goes faster on CPUs
So, I can now run it on my 2015 Macbook with 8GB RAM?
pknerd··on IrfanView
I guess anyone who has used windows would have come across irfanview one way or another
pknerd··on Someone has been attempting to DDoS us for weeks and we do nothing
lol

What does a tool have to do when I'm purely searching for a certain MySQL/SQL syntax? TablePlus has done an awesome job of writing brief articles about different SQL syntax and its usage in TablePlus.
pknerd··on Someone has been attempting to DDoS us for weeks and we do nothing
off topic but you guys have done solid SEO. You query anything related to SQL/syntax and tableplus will be in front of you.
pknerd··on Your customers hate MVPs. Make a SLC instead (2017)
Did not know MVP meant a "broken" product.
pknerd··on Show HN: A user-friendly UI for viewing and editing Markdown files
Markdown is usually used by developers. Almost all IDEs now have support for it. I wonder why one needs a separate MD editor.
pknerd··on Ask HN: How much to charge for an API call?
How is scraping fish different from a million other services?
pknerd··on Launch HN: Glide (YC W24) – AI-assisted technical design docs
By AI enabled do you mean a Gpt wrapper?

pknerd··on OpenAI and Elon Musk
Don't use their models. As a paid member I am fine with it.
pknerd··on Ask HN: How's the current state of hiring in the LLM field?
I have mostly worked in creating automation tools in Python(scrapers, bots, etc) and since the inception of chatGPT I have tried to use LLMs in existing solutions; obviously for automation purposes. Like recently I integrated a few customGPTs with web applications as currently GPTs do not support monetization nor you can distribute to others(unless the other person have a GPT4 account). If you opt for this route then there is definitely a need. Frameworks like CrewAI and langchain agents are going to help businesses to automate their internal processes.
pknerd··on Ask HN: How's the current state of hiring in the LLM field?
Are you asking about creating LLMs or using LLMs to create apps?
pknerd··on Claude 3 model family
It's kind of funny that I can't access the main Claude.AI web interface as my country(Pakistan) is not in the list but they are giving away API Access to me
pknerd··on Elon Musk sues Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, and OpenAI [pdf]
Some Elon's Musk blind fanboy flagged my comment:

pknerd··on Ask HN: Code Llama 70B on a dedicated server
Well thanks to downvote, I know I misspelled groq, anyway here it is:

https://wow.groq.com/

pknerd··on Hetzner switches to new billing model
Only if Hetzner enters in LLM hosting for masses, it'd be fun
pknerd··on Ask HN: Code Llama 70B on a dedicated server
Quite expensive. Heard groq API is cheaper?
pknerd··on Ask HN: Code Llama 70B on a dedicated server
Quite costly. I heard that the grow API is cheaper
pknerd··on Pql, a pipelined query language that compiles to SQL
many other DSLs transformed to SQL. And now we have LLMs that can do it much better way.
pknerd··on Pql, a pipelined query language that compiles to SQL
Sorry I might be dumb but why do we need this?
pknerd··on Apache Superset
I found Superset difficult to use when I explored it a couple of years back[1], not sure whether this is the same case now.

pknerd··on Phind-70B: Closing the code quality gap with GPT-4 Turbo while running 4x faster
A couple of questions:

- Can phind run on old Macbooks(2015+) with 8GB RAM? - Is it only for coding purpose?

pknerd··on LlamaCloud and LlamaParse
I have used openAI but I want to try several other LLMs as well.
pknerd··on LlamaCloud and LlamaParse
Sorry for offtopic: Are there any LLM services that I can use in cloud similar to OpenAI? I do not have good enough Macbook to run different models locally
