I was thinking something like that, bearing in mind that humans can't remember every single detail about a conversation either.

I've been trying to figure out how the ChatGPT UI manages to keep the conversation context when it's over the limits of what the model can ingest. I even tried asking ChatGPT :D

I've defeated it already using basic prompt engineering.

You can say something like "if you're unsure of the answer then say so"

I made some tweaks to sound like a slightly ticked off typical HN poster -- It irks me to see the frequent misconceptions surrounding GPT-based models like ChatGPT being touted as true general intelligences. While they are certainly advance

Did all the Rails people wind up being JS / Node developers? AFAIK the .NET MVC setup was pretty influenced by Rails, but don't think Rails people went to .NET

I didn't even realise it was a presentation until this comment. I was clicking stuff and scrolling trying to see content.

This. It's also a very common and controversial topic where everyone has their own goddamned opinion they think is right - hence it's going to generate a firestorm of debate wherever it's posted. Except on HN because it'

It took me a few tries to get it to spit out a perfectly reasonable continuation of a chess game. There's a filter that goes "I can't play games blah blah blah I can only complete text!" but once I got past it, it gave m

I do know the active ingredient is cytotoxic / potentially neurotoxic. Definitely avoid.

Not speaking for everyone but I'm pretty sure a lot of people who love extreme hot sauces, it's not so much the flavour but that they just want to feel something for once :o

I'm probably pretty accurate differentiating African from South American coffees, the flavours are pretty different . I'm not that great at this sort of stuff either, certainly not a food critic. But hey, some people can't te

Cool - this is sort of reversed for me, it's using the Euclidean algorithm to illuminate the structure of traditional rhythms, but I'm very knowledgeable about the latter and have never studied / have forgotten the former, so

Haskell has arbitary-precision integers. Until you run out of memory, but yeah.

Fructose is metabolised differently IIRC and carries greater risks if anything, possibly this is why HFCS is worse for you.

It's a great way to create a bubble. Amusingly, a subreddit I frequent has one notorious user who has abused the 'block' feature to ensure their frequent posts on a particular topic are free of dissenting commenters. They blo

Azure stopped supporting TLS 1.1 recently as well. If these are old systems, it could be this... if they're running .NET apps compiled against framework pre... 4.7? 4.8? TLS ain't gonna work...

This is amazing I do wish you could unlock different modes and step outside of just the pentatonic scale (expert mode?) but hey, awesome thing, I'm having great fun :-)

This is it, right here. Good games are fun to lose as well. Otherwise it's just a competition where you occasionally beat people and feel amazing about yourself, or lose to people and feel terrible. The variable reward system in ranked

I've unfortunately played way too many twitch shooters on PC and latency is really noticeable to me. To the point where I can't stand using my work-supplied laptop because of slight mouse lag (I think the mouse travels maybe 30-

Those are some huge ternary ifs I really wish Typescript had a great pattern matching system. It would be very nice indeed for structural typing, everything would be easier to read, probably some ways to add more power/expressivity,

This is great, I'm watching the video on YouTube now... Are exhausts/mufflers modelled? For ages I've wanted to simulate different designs for exhaust headers and systems, to be able to possibly create different/interest
