I have a completely different experience than you, but I have also invested quite a bit of effort into the issue. I will agree that with simple prompting and without reminders, models do not do this sort of thing well or consistently. On t

I've been playing around with this recently too and started getting much better results when I told it how to produce rendered PNGs of the file and to inspect it from several angles during iteration. I'm really only just getting g

FWIW I've only ever been on the API based plan at work and we never seem to run into the majority of the problems people seem to be very vocal about. Outages still affect us, and we do have the intermittent voodoo feeling of "Clau

We use them extensively in our agent framework at work for all sort of things. You can make up whatever you want, if the tags are semantic enough it just gets it, or you can add a bit of explanation about it in the system prompt or whatever

We've done varying forms of this to differing degrees of success at work. Dynamic, on-the-fly generation & execution is definitely fascinating to watch in a sandbox, but is far to scary (from a compliance/security/sanity

Probably less sensible than you think. How many terms would they need to do this over? How many terms would they need to do it for _at once_? How many tokens would that add to every prompt that comes in? Let alone that dynamically modifyin

Thank you for saying this out loud. I've been losing my mind wondering where the discussion on this was. LLMs without Tool Use/Function Calling is basically a non starter for anything I want to do.

What do you find difficult about distilling your own prompts? After any back and forth session I have reasonably good results asking something like "Given this workflow, how could I have prompted this better from the start to get the s

I believe if you read carefully, it's not blocked, it's rate limited to once daily, with very clear remediation steps included in the response.

> The officials each responded with “that very tired mantra: ‘But the virus is worse,’” Dr. Murphy recalled. “Yes, the virus is worse, but that doesn’t obviate doing research to make sure that there may be other options.”

We had a version of Bomberman that was written in some version of BASIC in high school (maybe QBasic?). It was great because we could hack on it to modify the game and immediately play with those modifications.

Other people have said it in this thread, but I think your experience is being severely clouded by Oracle. Postgres, MySql, and all have the `TEXT` datatype which are variable length (though with some upper bound)

Thanks for this, I"d been meaning to work up the energy to deal with their retention ops, but this was super easy. For anyone else looking to do this, the trick is to choose "Other" instead of "Too expensive" or &qu

I feel like your perspective might be more narrow than you think it is. I've been coding professionally for 20 years and at every job I've ever had we've made the decision to move away from ORMs or as much as possible given t

Following the example from the original comment, I would argue that if the content is otherwise unavailable for purchase or rent, then yes, it is ethical for anyone and everyone to pirate it. Conversely it is unethical to retain the rights

Why isn't it? My gut reaction is that I don't agree with you, but I can't immediately put into words why. I think it's possibly that I view a "console" for gaming as a combination of a form factor and developme

I spent about 6 years writing Go at $dayjob, and while what you're saying is technically true, idiomatically you also generally wanted to avoid scenarios where you would _want_ to observe them independently. The standard behavior is is

What sort of platonic ideal project do you work on that the majority of SQL you write doesn't need dynamic WHERE clauses? You're positing a majority use case I haven't encountered in 20 years of professional and personal proj

What makes "invisible to everyone but you" a more "logical" interpretation of "shadow ban" than "banned but didn't tell you"? Are shadows invisible to everyone but you?

I've used CTEs fairly extensively so I'm generally familiar with their pitfalls, but I don't quite grok your point here. Can you go into a little more detail about what you mean by "take on any dependency in the parent t
