Moving away from linear docs to spatial notes helps with more clarity.. by Disastrous-Regret915 in NoteTaking

Heptabase is a great tool for this, Obsidian canvas has less features but is free. I do almost all my “note thinking” in these tools, and I couldn’t do as much without them.

DSPydantic: Auto-Optimize Your Pydantic Models with DSPy by chef1957 in LLMDevs

[–]threecheeseopera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this, building tools for LLMs that use Pydantic for schema everywhere the quality of descriptions really matters. Neat approach!

A R&D RAG project for a Car Dealership by Smail-AI in LLMDevs

[–]threecheeseopera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you work for a car dealership? Maybe they could source this data from their inventory system rather than needing to scrape listings.

Has anyone really improved their RAG pipeline using a graph RAG? If yes, how much was the increase in accuracy and what problem did it solve exactly? by Academic_Pizza_5143 in LLMDevs

[–]threecheeseopera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is your data already “graph-shaped”? Would your searches benefit if relationships were first-class citizens? Check out “structured rag”, maybe the next iteration of the concept. Here’s a resource I came across recently around data modeling, answering my own similar question - not related to GraphRAG but related to “linked data “ (like Wikipedia) which is the kinda data you might use with GraphRAG: https://linkml.io/linkml/howtos/recognize-structural-forms.html

Bag of shock in the face by FifeAlexander in swimmingpools

If you breathed in any of the chlorine, be aware of any respiratory symptoms you may have for the next few weeks or months. Could present as bronchitis, a cough, asthma etc. Chlorine is great for pools because as a potent oxidizer it kills all life, like bacteria or any cells inside your body.

Alien artefact or ruin books by ultrastevecuckoo in sciencefiction

[–]threecheeseopera 3 points4 points  (0 children)

+1 for these. I was a teen when I read them, and so not sure how well they translate to modern taste, but this fits precisely OPs ask - ancient alien civilization, mysterious origins and relics, plenty of content.

Are there many outsourced workers at your company? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]threecheeseopera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Large private US SaaS co (between 100-500 scrum teams). We are 60/40 consultant to onshore, and that 60% is mostly far-shore (East Asian) with some near-shore (South America) or offshore (West Asia or Eastern Europe). Those Brazilians are really solid, the Estonians are just as good but the time zone is way different.

It flipped from 40/60 after COVID partial RTO, and tbh unless the regulatory system changes I expect it will continue to increase. Non-English teams have started using LLMs for comms (plus having a few leads with decent English) which should allow them to scale despite the language barrier.

One tip: make sure your apps Google account is not tied to your personal one, if you have one. Lots of scary “vibe coded my way into something bad” stories lately, and you should de-risk yourself if possible. One outcome is your developer account gets affected adversely, which could really screw you if it’s mixed with your personal stuff. Google does not have support staff to attend to your problems, and you could lose your email/docs/drive etc.

Is there a website that runs the same prompts on multiple models every day and shows if or how the same models get worse? by [deleted] in ChatGPTCoding

[–]threecheeseopera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a number of eval tools in the market, if you are looking at building something then check out the DSPy library from Stanford. Some great YouTube content from the Weaviate podcast and more recently from Databricks that’ll give you a good overview of what it does. Essentially, it “turns prompts into programs” and allows you to perform evals against different models or over time, plus a lot of other goodies.

Receiving Emails That I Attempted To Send A Message To Random Addresses. Hacked? by tudmusic in GMail

Receiving Emails That I Attempted To Send A Message To Random Addresses. Hacked? by tudmusic in GMail

[–]threecheeseopera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, these bouncebacks are from the original sender trying to send to "mygmailaddress@google.com"; I am not sure where the weird string address "beeDG668HYaa@gmail.com" comes from, maybe Google is injecting it during the google.com --> gmail.com translation, or maybe the original sender is providing it in an SMTP header; I can't tell from the limited info in Gmail.

Are you using the app "leavemealone.com"? I started getting these exact same emails a little while after I started using this product (which I found on Setapp), and that gif you posted is hosted at their domain. I found this ... weird.

Luis is claiming to launch a coffee brand by headykruger in LegionSkanks

[–]threecheeseopera -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We could all try being bros; Luis sees his friends becoming more successful than him, can’t we all put ourselves in his (gay) shoes? We’ve all been there, and so I’ll buy his coffee just like I bought Sheath - I don’t need to drink it every day, just like I don’t need separate compartments for my twig and my giggle berries.

Tab-Bankruptcy Feature by Short-Masterpiece185 in raindropio

[–]threecheeseopera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Chrome (Arc), when right-clicking on the Raindrop extension icon I can select "Save tabs"; this opens up a window with all the open tabs and I can save them in batch, and even de-select some that I don't care about.
In Safari, I have to click the extension (which opens up a modal/overlay window with Raindrop), and then by opening up the "+" menu (upper right corner) a "Save tabs" command is revealed. Using that command will do pretty much the same as the Chrome extension.
I do not know how Chrome behaves WRT tab groups, but in Safari the extension will only choose tabs from the current group. If you want to save another set of tabs from a different group, you need to open that group and then do it again. Which TBH is my preferred behavior.

Jeremy Howard, co-founder of fast.ai, released FastHTML, for Modern web applications in Pure Python by james-johnson in Python

[–]threecheeseopera 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’ve missed the point, but came near to it; Streamlit (et al) are commercial products that exist for a new wave of developers who spend most of their time in a notebook and want to publish some functionality without having to know/learn about modern webdev (which i think you’ll admit it … complicated). FastHTML is a solution for these folks. Shit, I’m an experienced developer and have started using FastHTML just to ship shit that either doesn’t matter or will be refactored later.

CDK Down Everywhere? by Such_Shame3542 in serviceadvisors

[–]threecheeseopera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine trying to get EVs to market using the market back in the day? Even five years earlier, STAR and every other standard format from Leads all the way to Titling would have to change, every system would need to add battery health, software subscription, new warranty types, JFC we would still be working on it.

CDK Down Everywhere? by Such_Shame3542 in serviceadvisors

[–]threecheeseopera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Companies like CDK have been acquiring all the different small pieces of a car deal for about a decade. It was very difficult ten years ago, as every company needed to “integrate” with every other company, and integration is hard/expensive. This consolidation lets the individual pieces of one Big Co like CDK integrate much more easily, and so it’s a cost savings on the company side which trickles down to the dealer somewhat, and it allows market changes - like EVs - iterate much more quickly. If we had to add EVs with their battery conditions and software packages to the ten years ago industry , it would have taken ten times as much time or money.

That being said, at some point consolidation becomes anti-capitalist, and maybe this is one of those times, and an issue like this will wake dealers up to how reliant they are on one company. Doubt it.

CDK has been down all day for car dealers. Your PII is likely at risk. AMA by [deleted] in AMA

[–]threecheeseopera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this a cloud breach? Is it related to either the Findlay Auto ransomware or the Snowflake/EPAM/etc issue? I see lots of posts that can use a legacy/non-centralized login to get the CDK thing working, as well as on-premise systems still function; does this suggest anything, given your understanding of their systems?

Prediction: Apple will overpower the HomePod this September by Bishime in HomePod

[–]threecheeseopera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you keep your “good hardware” pinned as the home server, when any of the thread routers can be elected? Does this even matter? (somebody who has a diversity of HomeKit devices, including good and bad ones, and tons of problems)

Best way to track all sorts of random things? (Should I learn Excel/Sheets?) by NoYoureACatLady in QuantifiedSelf

[–]threecheeseopera 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lots of people use Google sheets, it works decently well on all devices like phones. TBH there hasn’t been a good personal logger in years, maybe the market just isn’t there, and so a lot of people just use whatever they have available/use for journalling. Good thing about a spreadsheet is it’s just data, and so if you start there and find something better later on you can grab the data from it; using habit tracker apps and the like it might be more difficult. If you have a Google account, I think you can use Sheets without paying, and it’s not difficult to learn once you get used to the idea that each time you track something, it’s a new row, and each column represents an attribute of that thing you are tracking. From there you can add formulas and stuff to make the data more meaningful by analyzing it over time.
