DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - Very much so. I stared at hex dumps to figure out why an inference that reduced computations by 85% wasn't getting the promised speedup (tl;dr - it came down to needing to optimize cpu caching as well). Parent Post: Arthur Morgan @ArthurMorganTX - The scary part isn't that it did it in 10 minutes, it's that management will see this and assume a single junior with a prompt can replace a decade of domain/design expertise. We're watching hard-won technical moats get bulldozed in real time. https://x.com/DataRepublican/status/2097398651991797955
DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - Had a 10-year-old project on data indexing that may or may not find application for vector databases (it optimizes exact kNN over medium dimensionality, a rarity). Just watched GPT Astra rebuild the entire project in 10 minutes from an unpublished paper. Not sure how I feel about that. https://x.com/DataRepublican/status/2097386373099753552
