#ans | Anand S - Things I Learned

Sat, Feb 17, 2024. Discussion with Karthik A #ai-coding #prompt-engineering #todo #ans
- Ask IIT students to do internship tasks. Use advent of code is a qualifying criterion
- Tata motors unionized DB admins for longevity. No one can take their jobs. Hires people who LIKE their jobs
- Rust gives me typing. It's very efficient. Pola.rs is interesting but Pandas as good enough.
- Explore alerts from CCTV feeds. Karthik sends email alerts with pictures for:
  - "Is the machine on or off"? for productivity
  - "Are people not wearing helmets?" for safety at Cummins
- Integrate with WhatsApp. Use LLMs with function calling for responses
- Use expiring links (to pictures or content). It increases engagement
- Check Deno licensing. Is there a commercial clause? No - it's MIT license
- Centre or excellence for zero emission tech at IIT. Karthik is part of it
- Explore auth0. 7000 users are free
- toml is part of the Python 3.11 standard library!
- If copilot writes code we don't understand we are screwed. Hence expertise matters
