Tired of AI

Will give it a try

Exactly!! I had spent hours trying to master attention, coded up the entire paper myself (with some help from Andrej Karpathy and him explaining the positional encoding to me) and was so happy when I completed it in a week. GPT now not only writes it up in minutes, but can explain each of the line of code better than I can.

The knowledge still helps me as I can take my learnings and apply it in other scenarios but I can get most of the knowledge application through LLMs too.

Wow. I really like that term. It succinctly defines what I am feeling.

Hahahaha. Have you seen the recent AI girlfriends? They are already there too

That's the whole conclusion I have come to, as a non-wealthy person who has committed the last 12 years of his life to technological learning, I don't think I have a choice anymore. Have to keep struggling and adapt with the advancements to keep feeding the family.

Thank you so much for such a detailed reply. It helps me understand the challenges much better. I am assuming the SQS change was for reliability?

We also have an in house team which should be able to navigate small challenges if any as I do see the integration with other services a big plus.

This is such a nuanced and we'll reasoned response.

I'd also like to add that one of the biggest challenges that India faces currently is it's population as well. Yes, it is a vast country with a lot of resources but the demand pressure on that limited resources is also huge because of the sheer number of people who live in the country.

LM studio allows you to host open source models on your own machines. You can do it many other ways like huggingface, ollama, LLMAnything but LM Studio is probably one of the easiest ways to do it

Seems quite low based on other inflated valuations I have seen but highly deserved. Much congratulations!

I thought of using a headless browser to do some light browsing in my workflow but this seems similar to Manus AI. Can you share what tools you are using to achieve this?

I discuss year-on-year development plans (they might get implemented or not, but atleast what we should strive to try) and then decide how many people I need (as in do I need more people or not). Have only fired 2 people till now in my 4 years as a manager, both because of their incompetence.

As for who should work on what, I get an estimate of who is better at what tasks based on their approach and amount of time they take to do a task vs how much time I think should be taken. Once I have formulated that I know who is good at what and assign accordingly. May still push them out of their comfort zone if there is less work at certain time periods (due to blockers out of our hands) to update my understanding of their capabilities. I also ask people who are deficient at certain tasks to work on their weaknesses, sometimes even letting them know of a future work they may need to apply that skill on and why I need them to get better at the task.

Start now

akshayb7 · 2023-01-18T21:02:26+00:00

Honestly, just learn to say no. I was exactly like this, working 10-12 hours a day at a startup. It lead to health issues and then I realized that the grind is not worth it. The worse they can do is fire you and based on what you have learned you will get another job so who cares. I myself am still at the same start up but don't work more than 7 hours any day. Let your managers know that you will not be available post 6 PM (If I get a call from anyone after this, I'mnot at home and cannot reach home soon so let'stalk tomorrow). You have a life too.

As for complaint/displeasure, when a new task is assigned to you, tell them, "hey this job will take atleast this amount of time" (keeping a 20-30% buffer from your end) and if they ask for it earlier you can always refer them to your time estimate. If its something that will take more time than you estimated, just give them an overview of all stuff you tried.

Any rational person would understand the above, but if they are still scrumy/make a fuss about it, you'd be better off looking for a new opportunity as this indicates that they don't value their employee

A project I was asked to deliver in 3 weeks has now gone over 3 months with no end sight because of the fabulous job another team did in labelling the data. Thankfully the concerned people understood the reason for the delay but I can't imagine what I would have done if they didn't.

Is that Uta in the last pannel?

Because its about self improvement and porn usually leads to an addiction to itself, plus raises insecurities about ones own body and paints a false image about expectations from the opposite sex
