I would add to make it streamable or at least allow to be read remotely efficiently.

I can’t reproduce. Maybe others reported the error and someone adjusted the expected answer, I do not know enough about OpenAI operations to say for sure.

The reason this bothers me is that comments like this reinforce the believes of people that could otherwise find value in these tools.

But I think points like this would be better made in shared chats or screenshots, since we do not have something like a core dump or stacktrace to attach.

And while I am not saying OP did this, I have seen technically skilled engineers asserting/implying that llm/chatbots aren’t good or not useful to them look at their chat log that a multitude of topics that I am sure would impact the result of the query.

Yes. It can be an UX problem. Yes. It can be an algorithmc problem. But they are just tools that can be used wrong and not a perfect mechanical brain.

I think I remember swyx had compiled some thoughts on CLIs: https://github.com/swyxio/cli-cheatsheet. I particularly liked this part, where it starts by collecting examples of CLI apps like by the the authors: https://clig.dev/#the-basics.

Beyond that, I am enjoying a little bit too much customizing Fish, bobthefish, FZF, and replacements for established CLI apps (e.g., find/fd). I spend too much time asking Claude how to do various things. And I am the happiest with my current setup—until I have to SSH into the barren lands of a production host.

it does not have any dependency to a pdf parsing library, correct? That's a cool way to learn to file format and be able to work around weird pdf file. But what was the motivation to not use a library to do the pdf parsing work? is it the case that there is none available? Nice work!

Yeah, but what I found thought provoking is what if you send the solar panels and the datacenter as well for training. No need to transmission of power down to earth. I guess then it becomes a heat dissipation and hardware upgrade and maintenance. But again, thought provoking.

And you are 100% right but I do not think the point is against LaTex. But I am willing to bet money that after seeing thousands of pdfs formatted for icml/cvpr/nips, a reviewer would have an unconscious bias towards a pdf printed from msword or markdown. That's just a group thing and not that unexpected.

Caring about things and tangible consequences are two different things. I don't necessarily agree with the GP comment but one should expect a higher quality retort.

For the visually inclined I enjoyed Visualizing Quaternions by Andrew Hanson. Haven’t yet read the article in the post but I am curious on the applications mentioned.
