This is what I've been preaching to my team. With 5.5 and 4.7 the coding agents are good enough know to almost never take any tech debt. Any new feature or fixes should come with a cleanup or refactor, on the same PR.

the irony is that the code is hosted on github, a microsoft owned corporation

I tried using langchain.js after a bit of hype and overwhelming dev support and incremental releases, but it became added complexity for no reason for our case.

OpenAI's NPM is much easier to use. A lot of what langchain promised out of the box didn't work like caching. Anyways it's still beta i believe

that tool should be a standalone service, something our team would pay dearly for. It goes through all slack public channel's history, creates embeddings and also goes into github, confluence, etc. And then people can just talk to the bot to get their questions answered if it can answer as good as chatgpt4

we work in the affiliate business and this has the potential to completely desotry the business model. Many of our partners rely on affiliate money to make ends meet, it is what powers most content creators.

Safari is planning to use ML to detect click_id type of query parameters and strip that from URLs. That's just poor execution and business destroying. PCM restrictions are horrible too.. we have to design the link so it stays within safari's specs:

> With an ad-click, an 8-bit ID can be transmitted (a number between 0 and 255, i.e. 256 possible values / campaigns) - per domain > For a conversion, a 4-bit ID is transmitted (a number between 00 and 15, i.e. 16 different types of conversion) - per domain

Not to mention Chrome and Firefox has other ideas, each different on how their PCM will be integrated. Other than the mega corps, noone is benefitting from this privacy enhancement. Just more work to adapt.

It is a statistical text predictor, and finetuning (RLHF) is the "magic" that gives it meaning and reasoning via weigths

Immediately came to HN, best status server

My personal recomendation for HN users to get into Ghibli is to start with The Wind Rises. It's more recent (2014), and loosely based on a true story/biography. No crazy monsters or spirits. It also emcompasses creativty, engineering and hard work as the main characeter design a fighter plane. Truly a masterpiece that resonated with me

Of course the other ones mentioned in this topic are good too.

We ourselves use BigML and AutoML from google, and we have engineers in our team who can do TF. It's just less of a pain in the ass, and the models are very reliable.

I'll give this a try, though I'm not sure what strategy it's using (I'm assuming an ensemble?)

Also you're asking the user if the objective should be classification or regression, I think that should be automatic, it's already buzzwords for your typical marketing person :)

GJ and gl!!

changing currency doesn't seem to work for me, stuck in EUR.

Anyways, this is great. Between lootbear, csmoney, and steam marketplace, I think i like your model best since it translates directly to cold hard cash. However, last I seen this model in the wild, it got banned.. re: OPSkins. How are you circumventing that?
