Is it required to tell Claude to re-read the code folder again when you come back some day later or should we ask Claude to just pickup from research.md file thus saving some tokens?

Wouldn’t this kind of setup eat away tokens at a very fast rate and even the max plan will be quickly overrun? Isn’t this a viable workflow to use Claude code to create just one pull request at a time, lightly review the code and allow it to be merged?

Does this problem exist with fastapi as well?

Are there any open source tools that scans the code and detects such gaffes

I have always questioned, are the guys making pizza's, working minimum wage jobs wasting their talent or do they simply have no talent? Then I came across this short video : https://www.youtube.com/shorts/4HnGbQ-vi8s

The line that stuck with me was how you do something is how you do everything.

I follow an indian mystic named Sadhguru who had the same advice. He said if you do not know yet what to get involved in, then do everything with absolute involvement.

This I think was also the core message of the movie Soul from Pixar.

We all might earn different amounts of money in our lives but all of us have the same ability to create a meaningful life for ourselves.

Is there any other framework which can claim that it compares well to Ruby on Rails speed of development? I.e. conventions over configurations? Asking as I don’t want to learn ruby

True. I have that feeling many times that the enterprise crowd doesnt visits hacker news.

I understand the criticisms, but in my experience, MongoDB has come a long way. Many of the earlier issues people mention have been addressed. Features like sharding, built-in replication, and flexible schemas have made scaling large datasets much smoother for me. It’s not perfect, but it’s a solid choice.

Thanks for your response. How do AI engineers ensure LLM output validation and safety measures

Ask HN: Transitioning from Web Development to AI–Where to Start?

connectsnk — Thu, 30 Jan 2025 16:38:27 +0000

I've been a web developer my whole life and currently work in a support role at a FAANG-like company. I want to move into AI but don’t know where to start or which specialization to focus on.

One thing I’m sure of: I don’t want to develop my own models but rather use existing ones effectively. Given my family responsibilities and where I am in life, I can’t afford to take a deep dive into advanced math.

How can I leverage my web dev and system design experience to transition into AI? What paths should I explore that don’t require heavy theoretical math but still let me work with AI meaningfully? Any practical wisdom or real-world advice would be greatly appreciated!

Here is some JD I copied from one of the job postings. Hoping to build a similar knowledge base :

Experience with model fine-tuning and/or implementing RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) systems in production Experience with LLM frameworks such as LangGraph, LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar orchestration tools Familiarity with different LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) and their APIs Familiarity with the use of Open LLMs, either self-hosted or on through a third party provider, e.g. Amazon Bedrock Knowledge of LLM output validation and safety measures Experience with embeddings and semantic search implementations

I am in a similar boat. Many of us in similar boats would be very thankful if you can expand on what are the names of these consulting companies and how can we breakthrough?

uber is not repeat business. Some platforms with repeat business like upwork see this a lot

Can you elaborate more on how the expense split maths worked? Also why would the contractor wish to keep getting the business through the coop. Once they have the business, isnt it in their interest to make a direct deal for the next instalment of work?
