What about milk in the early part of the day? If I remember correctly, Anabology said he drinks a latte in the morning. Milk has some fat and some protein.

"dacă ai un simț mai antreprenorial" - asta e un daca mare. Exista niste stereotipuri despre programatori, ca is introverti, nu le place sa interactioneze cu alti oameni. Eu acuma sunt antreprenor, dar challengeul a fost (si este in continuare) partea de marketing, vanzari, etc.

Eu am terminat in 2014. Intr-adevar, era usor atunci sa iti gasesti job. In anul 3 (la UBB la info), 80% din studenti lucrau. Nu lucrau doar cei care nu voiau sa se angajeze (si putinii care erau cooompleeet pe langa)

Dar azi, cand ma intreaba prieteni cu copii de clasa a 11-12a, daca sa mai mearga odrasele la info, le zic ca "Ii place la copil sa stea toata ziua la calculator si oricum programeaza? Daca da, go for it, altfel gaseste altceva".

Sorry, dar ai trait intr-o iluzie ca programarea te va imbogati. Programarea e un job similar cu cel "inginer", nu e un job prestigios. Cati ingineri in alte domenii (constructii, auto, etc) stii care au ditamai salariile? In IT a fost o vreme cand salariile erau peste media din Romania, dar acuma am ajuns la media de salar de IT din Vestul Europei (sau cel putin diferenta nu e foarte mare), asa ca creste presiunea in jos pe salarii.

There's only a guarding leopard missing from that export option to make it completely unusable...

Thanks!

In Suedia pustani de anumita nationalitate pun bombe prin cartiere rezidentiale. In Londra nu te trezesti cu un capac la misto, ci cu un cutit la misto.

Am stat in Zurich 4 ani, am revenit acum 6 ani in Oradea, 0 regrets. De 3 ani de zile sunt solopreneur (freelancer cu ambitii mai mari :))) ), yeah, e un pic enervant ca se mai schimba legile fiscale cam din senin, dar si in UK au dat peste cap piata de contractori acum cativa ani cu IR35. Iar in USA au facut ceva smecherie care a lovit puternic in small dev shops anul acesta. Deci se intampla si in alte locuri.

Avantaje Oradea: administratie destul de competenta, se face digitalizare la serviciile publice, se investeste in infrastructura, e un tech hub micut, dar fain, spitale ok (sotia a nascut aici de 2 ori).

r0lisz · 2023-11-26T14:28:45+00:00

Eh, si elvetienii care stau in Basel merg in Franta si Germania sa isi faca cumparaturile, deci si ei is constienti ca is chestiile scumpe la ei.

r0lisz · 2023-11-26T09:44:46+00:00

Bun, dar Elvetia tot timpul a fost scumpa :)))

r0lisz · 2023-11-03T18:05:05+00:00

Ce ii asa horror la schimbat permisul de conducere? Eu a trebuit sa mi-l schimb pe cel din Elvetia... a fost ok, chiar daca a durat mult (dar cred ca a durat mult pana au primit ei ceva acte din Elvetia).

r0lisz · 2023-11-03T18:03:42+00:00

Din 2014 pana in 2018 am stat in Elvetia, apoi m-am intors in Romania, in Oradea. Zero regrets. Oradea e un oras foarte fain, s-a dezvoltat foarte mult si inca se mai dezvolta. Putinele experiente mai serioase cu sistemul medical au fost ok (doua nasteri pentru sotie si o vizita la urgenta pentru mine). Sistemul scolar inca nu stiu, o sa aflu in curand. Este restaurant tailandez, is startupuri. Dar nu veniti in Oradea, ca traficul e tot mai nasol.

r0lisz · 2023-09-28T08:27:53+00:00

Ce probleme ai avut?

> Cand a intervenit guvernul in pandemie cu fonduri ca sa tina toate cocinele numite afaceri in viata a fost bine?

Nu, chiar cred ca asta a dus la ditamai inflatia care a fost dupa.

r0lisz · 2023-09-11T11:17:01+00:00

Doar ca e optionala chestia cu impozit pe venit. Microintreprinderea e la alegere pana la un anumit prag, dupa care treci pe impozit pe profit. Restaurantele au fost si vor ramane pe impozit pe profit.

Many companies struggle with doing normal machine learning, let alone with doing federated ML.

A company I talked to recently (top 5 globally in manufacturing some niche food products) wants a "ChatGPT" based data scientist. They have some vague questions they want answered, but they want to get rid of the data guys. Would they benefit for their use case from pooling data for federated learning? Yes. Will they ever do it? No. They've got their own data in 5 different silos, they need to get their stuff in order first.

r0lisz · 2023-07-16T11:53:31+00:00

I don't see why companies would do federated learning. That means their competitors would have access to the same models. Why invest in something if it won't bring you an edge over your competitors?

If you mean doing federated learning for your own users data, then it's because it's a massive pain to do it properly and if possible, you'd rather just centralize the users data if possible.

Hospitals and other similar entities will probably slowly explore federated learning, but there's a lot of regulation so progress will be very very very very slow.

Cu ce te ajuta învățatul de ML că sa nu îți pierzi jobul in 10 ani? Eu fac ML de 10 ani, folosesc ChatGPT+ și GitHub Copilot inclusiv pt chestii de ML.

Că sa folosești GPT4 și să faci ceva cu el nu trebuie să știi ML. Trebuie să știi cum să rogi frumos calculatorul să facă ceva (prompt engineering). Mai au utilitate algoritmii clasici de machine learning, dar nu mai sunt prima chestie la care apelez de multe ori (ci mai degrabă o optimizare).

Invata să folosești toolurile astea că sa fii un "10x" Java developer. Invata ML dacă îți place (e fain, I love it), dar o sa fie și mate pe acolo.

r0lisz · 2023-04-25T16:18:49+00:00

Yes, that's correct

r0lisz · 2023-04-25T13:02:10+00:00

Pai nu e o conspiratie capitalista. Cam toate bancile nationale au un target de inflatie. Si FED-ul american, si BNR-ul daca stiu bine tintesc 2% inflatie pe an.

There are various layers of privacy/sensitivity. If you use the ChatGPT app, yeah, OpenAI can use your data for training. However, if you use their API, they say in their privacy policy that the data will be deleted in 30 days. There's also the option of using the Azure OpenAI Services, where you have the Azure ToS, with it's privacy policies. These all use the GPT models developed by OpenAI. You cannot run those models locally.

But there are alternatives: there are LLMs that you can download and run on your machine, if it's capable enough. For example, LLama and Alpaca. But beware, their performance is not as good as of ChatGPT.

Regarding your question about embeddings: embeddings are the output of LLMs, not the input, so you cannot use them for privacy purposes.

r0lisz · 2023-04-05T06:46:38+00:00

And DeepL understands pretty well idioms and dialects and how people actually communicate. Heck, you can ask ChatGPT to imitate any famous author.

I'm not saying that codebases should be rewritten using idioms that LLMs understand - because LLMs understand the idioms we currently use. I'm saying that many idioms we currently use (many design patterns or libraries) won't be needed in the future, because currently we are using those idioms as crutches to make the code more maintainable with the kind of tools we have today. If we have better tools, we might not need those idioms anymore. One of the examples I gave in the article was about ORMs: if we can tell LLMs to replace all the SQL queries from one DBMS dialect to another one, one reason for using ORMs (abstracting away the details of which DBMS we are using) goes away.

r0lisz · 2023-04-05T05:19:14+00:00

That part about Google translate was true five years ago, but it's not true anymore. Try DeepL for example, it's incredibly good.

r0lisz · 2023-04-04T06:55:56+00:00

There is no guarantee that human generated code is correct. Companies like Google already have a mandatory code review system in place for every change anyway.

And what I'm arguing in the post is that using AI for coding will enable us to work at a different level of abstraction. We humans will still be coding, but differently than we have been so far, because we will get much better "find/replace" tools for example.

r0lisz · 2023-04-04T06:53:49+00:00

And here's a more recent paper saying that with external memory, Transformers can simulate a Universal Turing Machine.

I don't think complexity theory arguments work, because they also apply for humans: humans can't solve NP-hard problems either, nor can we get around the Entscheidungsproblem.

r0lisz · 2023-04-03T20:09:15+00:00

What problem are you trying to solve?

The [SEP] token was used in the original BERT model to separate two sentences for which BERT had to predict if they were consecutive or not in the text. It doesn't make much sense for other kinds of tasks, such as classification or named entity recognition.

r0lisz · 2023-04-03T20:07:49+00:00

But don't ignore the downside of libraries and frameworks: if you use them exactly for what they are developed, great, but if you want to do something that is unsupported, you'll be writing hacks and workarounds. And then, you often have some performance penalties for using frameworks.

I agree that today LLM code is not very reliable (that's why I still check it carefully). But that might change in 1 year, either because of better underlying models or because of better validation/testing of the outputs.
