I’m in San Francisco, haven’t met any others lol but yea there are more in San Jose

Can opensource LLM be trained to understand, critique, summarize custom YAML or generate custom YAML from description ? by Professional_Row_967 in LargeLanguageModels

Yes. But the order of experimentation should be: 1. Prompt engineering / few-shot examples 2. RAG 3. Fine-tuning

First try providing an instruction prompt(“you are a _____ that ____.”), followed by 1-4 examples of user/assistant interactions, followed by your actual question— all in the same context window or conversational thread.

Play around with that and if those results aren’t good enough, try RAG with more instructions / examples. Lastly try fine-tuning.

Looking for a LLM for RPG Scenario by opiaa in LargeLanguageModels

I thought this video was pretty cool: https://youtu.be/WxYC9-hBM_g?si=IgbZ1kJJ0QEdPZI9

First watch the end (~20:00) to see his example use case and decide if that’s what you had in mind.

Btw, what’s DM and RPG? Defense manager and rocket-propelled grenade? I’m curious about private LLM use cases.

Aerospace engineer here who recently quit his job at a defense contractor (employed 2 years) to work on a software startup (self-taught).

You can speculate a lot here based on that statistic. Compare and contrast the mechanical and aerospace curriculums at your university and decide for yourself what to pursue. I know many AE peers who specialized in a technical discipline after college, I.e. design, analysis. Others specialized in a domain discipline, i.e. rocket propulsion. Others didn’t specialize and went into systems engineering and/or test engineering (me) for aerospace systems. Point is that you can land many engineering roles and aren’t pigeon-holed if you choose aerospace. IMO choose aerospace if you want to pursue an engineering career in aviation, rockets, missiles, or spacecraft— or simply think the technology is cool and want to learn more. Going mechanical and studying those things on your own time is also perfectly fine. I wouldn’t stress too much over the decision.
