They will sell "training data slots". So that when I'm looking for a butter cookie recipe, ChatGPT says I'll have to use 100g of "Brand (TM) Butter" instead of just "Butter". Ask it how to deploy an a

They do but we have for instance education to reduce their hallucinations in narrow fields of expertise. And a system of guardrails to only let educated people work in those fields to avoid harm.

No, Dresden was a big garrison city, manufacturing and transportation hub. Bombing it, as cruel at is was, served a purpose for the Allies to remove safe retreats for the Germans. Lots of Dresdeners were supporters of faschism before the wa

Another quite common headline technique is "Car hits pedestrian/bicycle/other-car". As if the car was driving itself. It somehow shifts the blame away from the driver to the object, the car. Similar to accepting that sof

Reading "Let me try to explain using analogies.", I was worried someone would come up with another car anology. Seeing orgs as people with characters, oh my, my eyes are opened now. Sounds weird but it makes sense the few times th

Fascinating, like watching a Bob Ross video but he is drawing with SDF formulas as his palette. Very chilling and pleasant to watch.

BTW, does anyone know a good migration library for nodejs/typescript? I was looking for one some months ago and kind of settled with Typeorm migrations but I don't like them that much. It feels clunky and doesn't seem to prov

When using raw SQL in strings, I really miss the automatic formatting that is provided for HTML, TSX and TS with prettier. Raw SQL query strings also do not compose well and I miss auto completion when writing them (yes, I'm a spoiled

Writing literal SQL in JS would IMO need more tools than just a preprocessor like you describe. The few times I tried it (mostly in tests to check that the ORM is working properly) the #1 thing I was missing is a prettier-plugin that automa

Tide + https://github.com/jscheid/prettier.el + projectile + helm work wonders. Been using this for +3 years now and its one of the bigger productivity improvements in my recent years of emacs and programming practice.

Agreed. I personally had never any problems with packages overwriting each other. Everybody knows that you have to namespace all the functions and it works, just like it works in C. And the upside that everything is accessible in the scratc

While elisp has lots of warts and weirdnesses stemming from ages long ago, I find it quite suited for its task as an editor scripting language. For instance, the global namespace is great to play with and learn commands in the scratch buffe

I did use MySQL/MariaDB in production for a couple of years, and now I'm using Postgres. PG sure seems to have better foundations and generally a more engineered approach to everything. This leads to some noteworthy outcomes in th

Thanks for sharing these projects. So far I only knew tsql. I'm in the avoid code generation camp as well as typically my build processes are complex enough and don't need another step. But I am not quite satisfied by the existing

Not getting warm with any query/ORM library out there. My own take of interfacing with an SQL database with Typescript: a query generator that uses mapped types a lot to infer result set types from queries and a schema file. https:&#x

Well, if Elixir had a Typesystem like Javascript has, I'd instantly switch to it. But atm I'm staying with Node because of Typescript.

Right, only querying a few fields seems not to be a builtin feature. Looks like you have to create the partial selectable type yourself and there is no support to typecheck that the correct columns in the select are included. Your second ca

Wow this is great! Very well written README. What just blew me away is the thing with the `JOIN` and the `to_jsonb(authors)`, all with complete typing support for the nested author object. I was actually looking to use a classical, attribut

I agree, kind of. My projection for a future with stricter copyright laws is a rise of or at least stronger development of subcultures that produce their own content which slips under the filter radar because of non-mainstream memes and ref

Never having used C# myself but I sometimes play https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA (an open source Command & Conquer clone) which is written in C#, runs on all major OSes and uses Mono at least on Linux.

Right, just using the plain gmaps tiles in a Leaflet tile layer is against the google TOS. But there is a Leaflet plugin that puts the whole google map component in a TOS-compliant way as a layer into leaflet and keeps both in sync with DOM

Right, being able to compose, test, structure and develop my HTML in the same way I'm doing it with my application code is for me the main Reason for never wanting to go back to anything that's based on classic string-like templat

I'd probably make your work visible by counting the hours spent in the review each day or week. If you are able to roughly calculate the costs associated with those reviews, you may be able to push your organization towards adopting be
