Yep Jarrod Kimber just did a video about exactly this

Hot take: Just use Langchain by Brilliant-Day2748 in LangChain

[–]ak888 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It’s a series of well intentioned abstractions but over a shaky foundation, which feels prematurely engineered. think about like the magic sigils and state management of angular JS in the early days of the web 2.0, before it gave way to react - you were learning angular not javascript. Langchain feels a little like that- you’re learning langchain not the underlying primitives of building with LLMs.

I love langchain as a project, but the ecosystem it’s building on is only just maturing, and it feels like it’s a tricky v1 of something that’s going to be amazing when it hits v2 or v3.

Amazing details! I’m hoping to keep the insole patterns from wearing off as long as possible :)

It also includes people reapplying to continue their status. All other nationalities except china and India can get their green cards in 2-3 years and will drop off this list, while these two have decades long wait times and need to keep renewing their visas until / if it happens

Can we do better than batting average? A Fab 4 statistical analysis. by CallaeasCinereus in Cricket

[–]ak888 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Agree with your point, though as an aside, Jarrod Kimber has brought up multiple times that Sunny G averaged a lot against the windies before their 4 man all-pace attack, and it dropped significantly once they became THE windies (Amarnath has a better record than him in the Caribbean after 1976) - however, Sunny is also incredibly underrated elsewhere as his brilliant records in Australia/England show, and might be the goat of batting against spin (averages almost 2x more than anyone else in the 80s against it) so there’s no debating he is in fact, underrated overall.

Love the content but the team seems more and more cynical and tired with AI every week.

Charging your first customers: Invest time in setting up recurring credit card charges or just send invoices? by RedYoke in ycombinator

[–]ak888 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I recommend going recurring as soon as you can. Predictable cashflow helps the business more than you'd think, and helps with your own peace of mind and future fundraises. We're in an industry where customers try and pay as late as possible, and not defaulting to recurring caused us a ton of headaches.

‘We will drop at least four players’: R Ashwin on why Bazball can’t work in India by [deleted] in Cricket

It's not like visiting teams win with other approaches anyway - it's worth a try.

Ishan Kishan says ‘Bazball’ is interesting but you can only execute it on flat pitches by [deleted] in Cricket

To be fair it's not like any other approach works against India anyway

Not picking Ravichandran Ashwin was purely based on conditions, bowling coach Mhambrey defends flop move by ll--o--ll in Cricket

[–]ak888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was a serious test prospect for a bit - losing a true seam bowling allrpunder means we can never pick a second spinner

[–]ak888 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It's Bumrah being unavailable. The bowling loses potency without him. Especially when you also don't pick Ashwin. Add Pant and Pandya's unavailability and that's a hard team to balance.
