reggiepret··on Ask HN: Is your prompt your moat?
I think the prompt does add value, but its about wrapping the LLM + Prompt into a journey that works well for the intended use case. I think the most elegant implementation so far of this is: - notionai - blenderGPT

Both are embedded right where you need them, and they are tuned to provide great results. Another ChatGPT with a better prompt probably isn't much of a moat.

reggiepret··on How does everyone think about putting GPT agent in production
I think the idea behind agents is to have them a bit less constrained. If you can force input/output with better prompts that might help. Or if you can reduce the temperature of the underlying LLM generation, that could make it a bit more deterministic.

Or switch to using a chain.

reggiepret··on ChatGPT + Code Interpreter = Magic
this is a really great post. I thought I was blown away by the code interpreter, and you have shown some excellent ways it can be used. thanks!
reggiepret··on Show HN: Should I Get a House? a better rent vs. buy calculator
this is great!!

The final cashflow amount of the house graph (in the example) ends in the negative, s this accurate?

reggiepret··on Should developer assistant be a thing?
I think this is a great idea.

How would day 1 look for the dev assistant? and how mature would a dev team need to be to incorporate someone with relatively low experience into their environment? psql drop db --prod?

reggiepret··on Ask HN: What companies are you excited about?
I think 3D Hubs(https://www.3dhubs.com/) is pretty exciting!

A bullet journal to review previous day and overall goals.
reggiepret··on Ask HN: Will Remote Start to Affect Tech Salaries?
Agreed, I think that the EU can look at any talent in their timezone (Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Belarus, Hungary etc.) https://techbeacon.com/app-dev-testing/top-12-international-... South Africa has the biggest bang for your buck, even for local jobs, having an international job and living in SA would be a great combo.

reggiepret··on Ask HN: What do you think about this startup idea I'm working on?
Will you offer a "repair warranty" on your services?
reggiepret··on Ask HN: How can software engineers solve the problem of Income Inequality?
By not chasing unicorns for themselves. If a founder starts a company looking only for a billion dollar valuation to retire rich and young, they only increase the inequality divide.

Rather, founder should be seeking to start companies that give opportunity to their employees to be empowered. Taking in talent from different sources (not only ivy league) and developing the skills needed for their company.

Another practical way is perhaps to create (insert buzzword here) that will open up learning of important life skills to the large swaths of under/unemployed/employable people. Grit, resilience, creativity etc.

We are in large debt repay cycle, as Ray Dalio describes it, so companies have to be bootstrapped and built with minimum risks. Empowering a generation to become life long learners is perhaps the best thing we can do as engineers. Something else to look at is environmental stability (ie safe communities, stable households etc.)
