That seems a bit counter-evidenced by the fact that he reached an audience much larger than his chosen fields. He had an unique ability to explain complex matters in a very concise manner, which is an awesome presentation skill in its own r

Yes. What's the use of having standards for document handling and guaranteeing their correctness if we then feed them through a black box and accept its interpretation at face value.

Considering we have no real way to audit ChatGPT's correctness or security, I find this worrisome at best.

Not necessarily. It's common practice to built structure to control and redirect rivers around developments. That doesn't stop it from being a river.

Being "naturally formed" isn't a requirement to be a river. Being gravity fed and naturally flowing is. A canal doesn't have significant flow.

It certainly tends to be perceived that way by the person corrected. It's also debatable whether nitpicking on someone's grammar is "correcting their language", linguists tend to think it's not: https://j

I think OP's meaning was clear as it is. No need to put someone down over a small grammar mistake.

So, "gangsters and other career criminals" stick to marijuana possession? That doesn't sound like a bad deal...

OP isn't citing murder rates, they're citing "violent crime (total)" as mentioned in the linked article.

I'm having a hard time coming up with a non-nefarious use case for this.

I'm not sure that's quite true. I like many others are by no way a Bash expert, and will generally reach for Python if I have to build anything of reasonable complexity. I (and many, many like me) have however had enough Bash expo

I think one of the problems with the terms "Agile" and "DevOps" is that they are pretty general and generic terms that they are trying to cast very specific meaning too... “So you’re saying you’re not an agile team?” Sur

So the interest stems from a curiosity about your own gut-microbes? That seems fair enough, I may have been overthinking this...

by jascii 4y ago
I'm curious why that comparison is more interesting to you? I can see great value in having both data points when trying to formulate a hypothesis about what causes the decline in gut-microbes in us city folks, but I find it hard

Or you can step away from your desk, go for a stroll, get some fresh air! Not only good for your body, but you'll likely get back to the problem you're working on with a fresh perspective and end up more productive in the long run

I just copy the url to a plain text file, wget and grep if I need to find something and can't remember what's what.

I find it very useful to hear why people choose not to use my products, I find there is some selection bias in the opinions of people who are already customers.

We have been subsidizing the fossil fuel industry for decenia, so how would that be "free market competition"?

Don't those lisps tend to get written in lisp?
26.
by jascii 4y ago
There's actually a long tradition of writing lisps in lisp. The language really lends itself to explorations into experimental language features. Of Course, C's tend to be written in C too, so there's that..

Someone might get the impression that lisps mostly get used to write lisps :P

I agree with you that it brings things outside the original scope of the Turing test. I do find it interesting to observe that a metric based on casual observation can have value in a society where elections can be swayed by online fakery.

The article claims (in a screenshot without quoting sources, so take it for what it's worth) that "A recent blog post pointed out that GPT-3-generated text already passes the Turing test if you're skimming and not paying clos
