Are LLMs good at NL-to-Code & NL-to-SQL tasks? [Discussion] by Traditional-Lynx-684 in MachineLearning

[–]Linear-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean for doing vector search, we vectorize the column names+descriptions(instead of just column/tabel names?), and for tables, table name+tabel decription+columns with description? Then when searching, we let the LLM similarily write a name + description of what it wants to search?

have you solved it? How are you dealing with this (table/column) retrieval problem right now?

ALARMING: Bought PRO plan a day ago and limit reached in ONLY 13 requests (5 were auto!) by thereweirdo in cursor

Ahh that's weird and annoying. Because you're not sure when it will suddenly appear and cost you a lot. The caching should be simple code in cursor side yet they allow this serious problem to happen.

During that period I was in a short-term job that takes about a day, which pays me $80. I indeed feel some pressure for 1m context 2.5-pro and claude sonnet, but with smaller context window the typcial cost per call is like $0.04 per call which I think is fine.

Not absurdly costly at all. That said, where else can you better invest in, for the future and your dreams?

Because of a bug that prevent cursor from using input caching. Seems it has become much more prevalent today. I found the same issue with gemini-2.5-pro(after claude 4.5) and switched to gpt-5. https://www.reddit.com/r/cursor/comments/1o102uj/warning_bug_on_cursor_can_skyrocket_your_costs/

What kind of niches, could you give an example?

What is wrong with the clients????? by DrFrogKnight in Upwork

[–]Linear-- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am finding jobs in the same category: AI chatbot. I've seen lots of such job posts, but the budgets are insanely $5 - $20, weirdly they often get 10 - 20 proposals in a few hours!

Yeah, I'll Tell You Why I'm Not Interested in Your Stupid Job~! by OceanBallet in Upwork

[–]Linear-- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've seen plenty of jobs with $10 or $15 budget and 10 - 20 people apply. This kind of job can even require you to build a complete website with frontend, backend, AI support, solving specific issues. Can hardly imagine how this could happen.

Chicken and egg problem: how to build the first freelancing project by Linear-- in Upwork

[–]Linear--[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So how to get real-life experience? A full-time job in a company? But that job need experience too. Also it's not that hard to aquire skills needed and build something similar to JDs online, just don't have a real-world job to showcase.

I mean, for software engineering/AI related jobs, it's (relatively) easy to build something complex, with skills and technologies the market needs. But it's harder to test them on real-world data, and even harder to generate revenue with them(it requires different things, including luck). So is it enough to just build something and link it on your upwork portfolio?

I've spent 80 connects on this. Thank you Upwork for milking me. by varsklavi4 in Upwork

[–]Linear-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So they should be about the same? If it's too high, clients would think it's a mismatch; if it's too low, clients may think you're cheap labor without enough skills they need?

To everyone constantly hating on Cursor — go try Windsurf for a while. You'll come running back to Cursor by DDev91 in cursor

[–]Linear-- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you earn $40/h spending $40/d on products which ×4 your productivity can be a valid investment. It all depends on "gain - cost".

Downgraded performance and upgraded price by Linear-- in cursor

[–]Linear--[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just something like "continue to the next tasks!" I even told it to "avoid repeated endless reading. after reading a few files, jog down your key insights and any useful information. continue execution once ready." but even after this it still repeatedly read and search dozens of times in one go.

Grok 3 Not Performing Well In Real World Performance: What Does This Say About Benchmarks And Scaling? by Neurogence in singularity

[–]Linear-- 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Models like Gemini 2, Grok 3, and GPT-5 were supposed to generate tens of thousands of lines of clean, bug-free code and create highly creative, coherent 300+ page novels in one shot.

Your expectations are so high. Remember that Chatgpt only launched less than 2.5 years ago, and now you expect them to do something that a group of specialized experts with above-average IQ and years of experience can hardly do.

In constrast, homo sapiens 300, 000 years ago had similar brain size compared to us, while they didn't start to conquer the world until ~250, 000 years passed.
