RE: syntax For casual use, I kinda always liked the whole MATCH/AGAINST syntax for old school Innodb, though obviously things have changed a lot since those days. But it felt less like calling embedded functions and more like extending

I like the OP's idea and think it actually has some fun you applications. Especially with a little more narrowing of scope. Similar fun concept as the cataclysm library for Python: https://github.com/Mattie/catacly

In AI Studio, it seemed to let me upload pretty much any file and tokenize it without renaming, FWIW

I really like the spirit! This sort of concept was one of the first things I wanted to explore with a spiritually adjacent project (cataclysm). It's been a bit, so I need to take time to update the python JIT generation now that we ha

Replaced my openers in the spring, and 100% wouldn't have chosen them if there wasn't HA MyQ integration. Such a silly move. I used a local Meross install on my old garage doors, time to break them out, but ugh...

Don't think so, but there were some guesses on 3.5-turbo-- i.e. training a much smaller model on quality questions/answers from GPT-4. Same tactic worked again and again for other LLMs. I'm definitely curious on the context w

Do you have a link or gist of an example run you tried? I'd be curious to try something similar.

I've had to move to using Azure OpenAI service during business hours for the API-- much more stable unless the prompts stray into something a little odd and their API censorship blocks the calls.

Ah, really curious if it'll balk at the age old problem or just answer based on the code provided since it does inspect the nearby code to understand context for the generated code. I'll have to try that when I get back to my desk

Now that it's released, it's time to experiment with what it can do. from cataclysm import doom # App gets the img file from the command line and saves it as a new file at half size with _half appended to the name doom

> I don't think GPT-4 will be a big deal in a month Why do you think that? Competition? Can you elaborate?

Yeah I wrote my own plunkylib (which I don't have great docs for yet) which is more about having the LLM and prompts in (nestable) yaml/txt rather than how so many people hard code those in their source. I do like some of the feat

You're not wrong, but surely OpenAI can't do everything and maybe they can stay ahead on features long enough to continue to be higher value?

Here's what we need to be thinking instead of getting defensive or extra-optimistic: If high-end security firms and fairly diligent government agencies were infiltrated, why would we think that smaller dev toolchain organisations not f

Yeah, it's not widely used. I use oh.ms as my personal/geeky tiny URL site.

I really would love it, especially if they add export mechanisms so I won't lose my data if they ever decide to die. Burned once already, unfortunately.

No, it's not a good thing beyond perhaps raising awareness of it and maybe temporarily increasing demand for it. The stability it had was a great sign and it was seeing some solid use for transactions (especially for virtual goods). The sud

For #2, I'm hoping their big "reboot" on Dec 15 addresses some of this.

This reminds me of all the people using vanity IPv6 address spaces. Facebook, BBC, Cisco, Department of Commerce, F5, etc... they all use "hexspeak" to put words or initials in their public IPv6 addresses.

Yeah, it's always hard when people say "unlimited". Here I believe they mean unlimited users and unlimited repositories within the 2GB.

Thanks so very much for the clarification and the tempering of your response-- that "scam" wording was the only thing that gave me hesitation on whether you were objectively reviewing it from an economic standpoint. I'm pretty sure there ar

> Why purchase Bitcoins in the long run unless you're laundering money or hiding from the government? That's kind of odd to say-- couldn't you say the same thing about doing cash-only transactions? There's also the hope that you can "hi
