It's hard to read this as anything other than a bitter candidate who got rejected after a series of FAANG interviews. There are some legitimate criticisms sprinkled in, but to characterize everyone who made it through as slaves who are more obedient than you seems like a coping mechanism.
The very notion of obediency being a negative trait is flawed IMHO.
People working at humanly unfathomable size organizations being more obedient doesn't sound like an issue to me, nor would it correlate with other qualities, including intelligence or critical thinking.
Just call me "conciliant" or "cooperative" if you want to make it sound more like a compliment. "Obedient" is just putting connotations on an otherwise neutral trait.
This looks really cool, can't wait to check it out. The problem I've seen with other tools I've tinkered with is that they do well with simple stuff like:
"what are my latest orders" -> select * from orders where user_id=x order by created_date
But really struggle when you have a complex schema that requires joins, and basically has no support when you are describing something that needs outer joins or the like. Would be great to hear if DataHerald has cracked that nut or if it's still a challenge for you as well (no judgement if it is, it seems like a hard problem).
great question, and the one that we get the most :-) this is precisely why we created Dataherald. Off the shelf LLMs can handle a single table and simple questions. Dataherald's quest is to ultimately provide enterprise-grade text to SQL, where complex schema and joins are present. it does take some training, but we've found that it can handle situations such as the one you mention above.
Perhaps orthogonal problem - imagine you join a new company that has an enterprise product with hundreds of tables. Is there a way to connect Dataherald to my DB, and ask basic questions about the DB? E.g. "where are stored records related to X".
So from the look of this, you’re open sourcing all of the agent/usage code, but I’m guessing you’re keeping the trained model in-house, so that becomes the value prop for Dataherald the product - the trained LLM?
But not DRM content. The system will recognize and avoid screenshotting that.
Banking details? Fine.
Passwords? A-OK!
Copyrighted content? STOP, YOU FOOLS, BEFORE YOU ANGER THE MOUSE!
This whole thing is dystopian, but making it a priority to avoid DRM controlled content is wild to me. The screenshots are ostensibly a cache, which is part of how video is displayed anyway. Is avoiding caching a 6 frame per minute cache really a higher priority than all of the privacy this undermines?
You haven't been able to take screenshots of DRM controlled content for as long as DRM controlled content has existed. That's what makes it DRM. This technology isn't doing anything special at all. If you wanted to develop it for Windows, you could, and it would work the same way.
This doesn't sound very likely. In order to show pixels on a screen, something has to write those numbers somewhere. Screenshot should be writing those pixels to a file as an image format, not consulting whatever programs are running to ask if there are areas that they don't want to draw.
The pixels are literally encrypted on PCIe on their way over to the GPU, it's quite draconian. Been this way since Vista ("Blu-ray is a bag of hurt" - Steve Jobs)
This is rank populism. You're implying sinister intent, when the technical and legal constraints that resulted in that should be obvious. You already can't screenshot DRM content.
That might suggest that we have sinister copyright law. Aside from that I am pretty sure that this feature will threaten to violate a full battalion of privacy laws.
I'm young but I had the misfortune of working with it once (when interacting with some Austrian VAT authority APIs, some of which were SOAP and XSLT still in 2022 lol)
Indeed grateful I don't have to touch it again, but I suppose ChatGPT would be huge help these days for writing boilerplate magic incantations.
