Beats it for sure, humans are by far the most complex machines, a true marvel of the world. By comparisons, humans make phones look like simple toys.

This feels like the weirdest complaint to me. Just tell it to shorten its response. Literally saying "one sentence response" solves most of this problem.

I'm in a similar camp, I dislike how often third-party package updates get pushed out, especially given the lack of serious inspection. The reality is that each update is its own potential security issue and with supply chain attacks b

Yep, the 'unit' is size in which one chooses to use. The exact same thing happens when trying to discuss micro services v monolith. Really it all comes down to agreeing to what terms mean within the context of a conversation. Unit

I have a very small utility library that receives a few downloads every couple of weeks that I just spent a few hours upgrading today. It solved a problem I had, but it's a very small problem that few people share and the efforts spent

How does one know what they want until they see it or imagine it? When you can't imagine, you're stuck with searching, searching that comes in many forms, such as scanning catalogs, walking aisles, or letting someone else do it al

I've been sharpening my axe by working on a few different projects in the shape of of an online shop[0][1]. Products are a bit of a mishmash as a result of the different projects - To date, I've been farming succulents, 3d modelin

I did just this a few days ago, it's incredible how many people will come up and ask to pet your dog. Some will keep moving quickly, others will talk about their own animals, and some will drop little hints about themselves to further

Yupp, it can! I've been able to get it to do simple examples. I was able to get it to print out a 'sum of digits' style function. I was then purposefully placed a silly bug in it by hand. I then ran the code through a 'p

Near future, that seems right, further out I am guessing GPT-4 could enable the level to a couple years of real-world skill instead of two semesters. With the pipeline as such: business need -> tasks/cards outlined -> tests writt

Completely agree with this sentiment, and the general idea that this is a pretty monumental moment in time. In a couple of hours of work, I've been able to prompt for something like "Get an nginx server and node.js backend up and

I say this as someone who has been heavily using the command line for the last decade, even if you "know" how to use a CLI decently well, go read this if you haven't. From only a couple minutes of reading I found not one, but

Molecular Biology of the Cell got me extremely excited about genetics and bioinformatics, highly, highly recommend this book to any software person I meet who is interested in biology. As to the work environment, it seems to be extremely va

I guess I am in the minority because I don't run an AC unit in my bedroom office here in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The humidity can get a little miserable during the height of the day, but it's completely tolerable as your body adjusts

Honest question, if I have PostgreSQL containerized in docker such that it's trivially easy to spin up a new database, what then is the use-case for SQLite? I frequently hear people talk about it with such rosy tone, but I just don&#x2

My personal hunch is that this will end up leading to a situation in which presenters do a cryptographic handshake that works to verify and prove authenticity. This isn't a new idea, and it has some very obvious drawbacks, but I don&#x

This is, in part, what I'm trying to point out, it's an obvious typo given the context, and something that you or I would be able to pick up on, yet it completely breaks (it spit out a bunch of weird confetti cats for me). Perhaps

While neat, and no doubt impressive, it still utterly fails on prompts that should be completely reasonable to any sane human being/artist. Take something like "A cat dancing atop a cow, with utters that are made out of ar-15s tha

The web, and much of programming really, feels so far behind the curve of what's possible as a programmer. Take a dive into shader design in something like unreal engine 5, it sounds exactly like what you're describing in Delphi,

The thought of these questions, and engineering more generally, boiling down to intelligent dialog trees hit me like a ton of bricks a few months ago. I've been investing time into deeply thinking about these trees, and it has been one

GAMI is a firm that develops avgas[0]. Avgas is a shorthand for aviation gas, or fuel. G100UL is an unleaded avgas that acts as drop-in replacement for 100LL(100 Low Lead), used heavily in general aviation, think little Cessna. And yeah, th

These types of links are why I'm still hopeful for the internet as a platform. What a hit of crazy weirdness out of some random persons brain, just excellent.
