It works surprisingly well, I’d say it gives better results than Google Translate. I can say that German, Spanish, and even Hungarian results are all consistently good. I often say “answer in English, German, and Hungarian” when I want to m

I just used ChatGPT (or Gemini, no idea) the other night to generate me a story. I live abroad, so I don't have unlimited access to books in my native language and all the websites were crappy sites with dozens of ads on it, made it un

I’m sure someone has numbers but I do wonder how many of their users pay and whether that covers the free users. It can still be a bubble even with high demand, if you are burning money to serve those users, because you hope one day you wil

The fact is that the incumbents with all their money are in a good position to defend against anything and counterattack. When OpenAI was making waves the first time, then Google launched their neutered incapable competitor, I thought it is

The only mistake the original developer made is they forgot to write “you are an expert in the field, you make no mistakes and you make your website secure and free of vulnerabilities” at the end of their prompt.

This has not been my experience. Many times I ask explicitly what I want, and the tools fail to deliver. Of course, don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater, plenty of times they are helpful and can really deliver 10x improvements. The k

I learn about different subjects mixing traditional resources and AI. I can watch a video about the subject, when I want to go deeper, I go to LLMs, throw a bunch of questions at it, because thanks to the videos I now know what to ask. Then

It is still not the users fault, pricing is not their responsibility. As a user, I check the price and what the service offers, then I subscribe and I use it. If these users did something illegal or breaking some conditions, any service wou

Emphasis on “and”. > it affects pretty much everyone who got some value out of the tool AND is not a casual coder. I didn’t mean casual in the negative sense, so there is no “better”, there is only casual and not casual. My theory is tha

The writing is on the wall, we just need to read it. Fixed price offerings will be either gone or neutered.

Affecting 5% of users to me sounds like it affects pretty much everyone who got some value out of the tool and is not a casual coder.

Are you crazy, considering time zones would have burned through their allotted tokens for the week.

All of these AI services tell everyone how amazing AI is, it can run things, solve things on its own, while the developers are drinking coffee or sleeping. Some developers could actually do that with the service they paid for, fully in agre

You can’t just quote from a PR puff piece and expect anyone to be convinced it is not a doxxing app. The proof is in the pudding. It was built for doxxing and quite potentially spreading lies about men and on top of that, they doxxed all of

I've seen so many forums where the pitch is that it's "like a subreddit or Hacker News but for X" , where X is scientific papers, Go articles, OtherLang articles, etc.. and the only one that maintained at least some t

> How can I help people out when they tell me that io_uring is insecure? Maybe those people are right, though? I think the discussion starts from a place that assumes other people are wrong. If you start there, you will fail to convince

Yes, that’s my understanding as well. Those who can afford it, can travel to a different country and try. But I assume it’s so expensive that only a select few can go through this process.

It depends on your work, though… If you work at an agency or as a freelancer and you build various similar apps with similar tooling and base setup, being able to scaffold and have them all setup quickly, not having to do it manually and wa

While I didn't run this much, I used to run 50 km / 30 miles a week. My "cardio" was good, but I didn't lose weight because all the running made me 1. extremely hungry 2. too tired to cook a proper meal, 3. have a

Can’t read the article so I don’t know if it was an actual case or a simulation, but if it was an actual case, I’d think we should really check that “no history of mental illness”. All the things that you listed here are things a sane perso

I also wouldn’t go as far as saying that it’s a shame that English does not use diacritics, on the other hand, I also wouldn’t say that diacritics make a language more difficult. Learning how to use them in Spanish and German takes about an

When I listen to Bitcoin discussions, one of the advantages people bring up is that there is a limited number of it and you can’t just “print” more. Considering this, while it is true that all this makes deflation worse, I’d assume most bit

Asking “why” can still be a legitimate question, and “for fun” can also be a legitimate answer. I treat projects differently if they want to launch a product, they want to replace an established open source tool, done for fun for themselves

Companies appreciate loyalty… as long as long as it doesn’t cost them anything. The moment you ask for more money or they need to reduce the workforce, all of that goes out the window.

I thought the team behind the Helix editor came up with a programming language. Even the logo is so similar. A disclaimer would be wise.
