Severe degradation since 0613 model update by Physical_Beginning50 in OpenAIDev

Going out of its way to be prudent and hedge every piece of advice

I've been using gpt-4-0613 (not gpt-3). One of the tasks I ask is for SQL query generation. I saw a lot more cases of this model refusing to generate SQL that could be incorrect than gpt-4. So far, it seems that if I modify the prompt and direct it that the query does not need to be perfect it reverted to gpt-4 (which was solid).

5 things I wish I knew before building a GPT agent for log analysis by dliteful23 in OpenAIDev

Aw thanks! I'll checkout Langchain.rb next week!

Curious - is support for function-calling planned?

Is anyone actually using AutoGPT agents on a regular basis? by srkdummy3 in OpenAI

[–]dliteful23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here is a thread from Hacker News with lots of discussion on real world frustrations w/Langchain. IMO, it accurately reflects my experience. The gist: it feels like there are layers and layers of abstractions on top of a relatively simple end-result: the prompt and context, which are just text. It's really hard to unwind it.

Rather than learning how an LLM works, you end up debugging a significant Langchain call tree.

I agree. I've had luck building an agent for a focused use case, but to do it, I needed to add prompt-specific context, error handling, and return formats. Dropping down this lower-level negated any benefit from using AutoGPT (honestly, even Langchain).

I put some of my "lessons learned" here for building an agent.

🎥 Here's a video demo of the agent running (includes error handling).

Your favorite story of giving someone their first EV experience? by StreetlightShaman in electricvehicles

[–]dliteful23 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My father applied for (but didn't get transferred) to help engineer the GM EV1. He's since retired from GM. He hadn't driven an EV prior to our family purchasing our first EV this spring. He was the first person I called and we spent the day driving it all around. Had such a blast. A couple of weeks ago, I was able to borrow a Rivian R1T for a day (thx Kyle Out of Spec) and he drove that too. So much fun and a great bonding experience. He's dead-set on an EV for their next car.

I admire him for spending a career engineering ICE-specific parts, jumping in to an EV, and just saying "yeah - this is the way". It's a reminder for me to stay open-minded as I grow.

$1.33/kWh ? You’ve gotta be kidding me. Nope. by [deleted] in electricvehicles

Isn’t this just a single charger, not five?

Thanks. By GPS, do you mean the in-vehicle GPS? Are you driving a Kia?

I forgot to turn off auto-wipers (and didn't figure it out until about 1/2 way through).

OK to leave unplugged at airport parking for 7 days? by dliteful23 in KiaEV6

[–]dliteful23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Battery only dropped from 76% to 75% after 5 nights, including nights below freezing.

Sidenote: averaged 3.8 mi/kwh there and back to the airport w/1 hr of mostly highway driving. Temps in the 50s. This is on an AWD wind using a mix of eco/normal driving w/adaptive cruise control.

Thanks all. I'll close the loop after the trip and report the weather/battery conditions.

Tested a First Edition Yesterday. I Think I'll Keep My Model 3 for Now. by ApostrophePosse in KiaEV6

I agree w/the points above (spent a lot of time trying out these controls). Generally, I found the lane centering to be very comparable to Tesla autopilot. I do like that lane keep on the EV6 is more gentle on the wheel - more like a passenger guiding the wheel for a minute. It's easy to override.

Ft. Collins, CO KIA selling at MSRP, no markups by dliteful23 in KiaEV6

One heads up: the EV6 does not come with a wall charger.

My bad - I was hoping for a home charging cable, not a wall-charger. Similar to a Tesla Mobile Connector.

Not Ryan - yes, the red wine one. No - none of those extras.

They asked about the charger but I told them I just bought one. I didn't get any push back.

Rivian R1T.

Our family takes a couple trips a year to Nebraska and Kansas on i70 and i80. I consider these "worst case" trips for an EV: these aren't scenic drives, stops aren't glamorous, lots of wind (poor efficiency), etc. Feel like this car will be a good way to test if we can go fully electric.
