Bill Ackman's fanboys got angry :-)

There is another option, end the occupation of Palestinians and pressure Israel to have a Palestinian state.
pknerd··on Prompt engineering
TBH, Often I asked chatGPT to suggest a prompt for a domain I am not good at. For instance, I asked chatGPT to give me a prompt that can help me to give a market(stock) overview at day end with all key insights. chatGPT came up with a good prompt which I then used on Google Bard(I do not have gpt4 subscription hence no access to the latest data). Bard came up with a good 5-7 lines paragraph of text having all key insights of NASDAQ. I later asked Bard to return the key points in JSON format and it obeyed me.

can you share some resources which helped you to write such nested prompts?
pknerd··on Ask HN: Daily practices for building AI/ML skills?
I was talking about other LLMs, do they also provide API? What LLM are you using for image generation?

With 2015 Macbook, I do not have such luxury
pknerd··on Ask HN: Daily practices for building AI/ML skills?
Sorry! Just updated my comment. I was talking about usage to build products
pknerd··on Ask HN: Daily practices for building AI/ML skills?
Pardon me for hijacking this post but my question is something similar: What should be the roadmap as a developer to get into the GenerativeAI/LLM space? I want to learn how to use different LLMs, how to use them from hugging face and their different features like embeddings etc.

I am a Python developer who has never worked on ML/data science before, I am mostly into Data Engineering

pknerd··on Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (December 2023)
SEEKING WORK | REMOTE

I am a generalist programmer/technologies who usually works on backend technologies. I could help with different kinds of automation(bots, scrapers) using Python or PHP. I also worked on Chrome extensions and worked on a few for clients and myself [1]. I also love writing tech articles.

If you have some interesting use cases that you want to be done, do not forget to ping me. My details are given below:

- Home (https://adnansiddiqi.me/)

- Blog (https://blog.adnansiddiqi.me/)

Thanks

pknerd··on FDA approves a CRISPR-based medicine for treatment of sickle cell disease
I wonder whether in the future doctors have a visual designer(WYSIWYG) similar what programmers have in the form of Visual Basic/QT to alter DNA. It'd be pretty interesting if it happens
pknerd··on Gemini AI
Quite surprising to me. Bard has been available in Pakistan for a couple of months I believe.
pknerd··on Show HN: SuperDuperDB – Open-source framework for integrating AI with databases
Can you suggest some specific models related to embeddings/QnA?
pknerd··on Show HN: SuperDuperDB – Open-source framework for integrating AI with databases
Can you suggest some free LLM model that I can use in it directly?

Also, does it support Bard APIs?

pknerd··on Show HN: SuperDuperDB – Open-source framework for integrating AI with databases
Pardon my ignorance but I thought that it will let me question my data without using anything else
pknerd··on Show HN: SuperDuperDB – Open-source framework for integrating AI with databases
Looks cool but I have a question, I was checking the QnA example. Why do I need openAI? Can't I directly chat my data using superduper db?

pknerd··on Ask HN: What are some unpopular technologies you wish people knew more about?
Windows :-)
pknerd··on Ask HN: Who needs help this holidays?
Unfortunately a Palestinian can't avail this opportunity because Israel has cut off Internet and financial channels
pknerd··on VectorDB: Vector Database Built by Kagi Search
This or anyone suggest some other db/lib for local QnA like testing on Mac?

At the end of the day, it is MSFT that emerged as a winner.

Weird. Why did not he start a new company?

Means free Gpt4?

Ps: It's a serious question

pknerd··on Details emerge of surprise board coup that ousted CEO Sam Altman at OpenAI
Prolly off topic but someone on Reddit's OpenAI's chat interface shared his discussion screenshots with chatGPT which claims that AGI status was achieved a long time back. You can still go and read the entire series of screenshots

pknerd··on I spent 3 years working on a coat hanger [video]
True. As a developer I could make any thing but don't know how to sell. People lik e peter levios can earn millions with a single index.php and SQLite by reading tutorials. And now gpt would make non programmer more free from devs.
pknerd··on Developers can't seem to stop exposing credentials in publicly accessible code
For those using GitHub, there should be some kind of "scanner" that sniff certain keywords and doesn't let the code go public
