Our world has dramatically increased in living standards during the period of increasing global average temperatures. All of the IPCC future scenarios - including their worst case outcomes - still project a world where living standards keep

It's so bizarre to see people who occupy positions of power make statements like this. Anyone who knows the basics of energy, agriculture, or economics knows this statement is exactly the opposite of the truth. At the current populatio

99% of the time is still super frustrating when it fails, if you're using it in a consumer facing app. You have to clean up the output to avoid getting an error. If it goes from 99% to 100% JSON that is a big deal for me, much simpler.

I'm not the person you're asking, but I built a site that allows you to generate fiction if you have an OpenAI API key. You can see the prompts sent in console, and it's all open source: https://havewords.ai/

I'm listening to the audiobook "The Price of Time" right now and it gives chapter after chapter of empirical evidence. Friedman was absolutely not the first economist to notice the connection between monetary supply and infla

Astounding that you're claiming monetary policy can lead to hyperinflation, but not inflation. As if those are unrelated concepts. You are very eager to put nails in coffins and claim that the common sense understanding of inflation (i

Incredible that there's not even a mention of monetary policy. Are they proposing that corporations suddenly became greedy in 2020? During previous periods of low inflation, did they congratulate those corporations for their altruism i

Even if we don't "need" to protect them, they'll be practiced somewhere. I can watch endless hours of people doing technically obsolete activities on YouTube right now.

One of my brothers writes on a typewriter daily. It's just his preference and hobby. I think we could switch back fairly quickly if we needed to do so.

My first question about any criticism of an AI response is "ChatGPT or GPT-4?" If it's ChatGPT I'll offer to run the prompt through GPT-4 for them. It's better 100% of the time, and it negates their complaint probab

Autocompleting my console.log statements with uncanny accuracy is already worth $10 a month to me. It's hit or miss so I'm not surprised to hear from someone who sees more misses than hits. But when it works well I feel this rush

I use it with the documentation of what I'm building. Paste in the relevant section of the developer docs, ask it to write a function, or ask it to produce a valid API request, etc. I suppose it's like a junior dev in a sense but

I'm surprised anyone doesn't get value from them. I query GPT-4 regularly, and it rarely disappoints. It's decent at coding and excellent at troubleshooting. I've never seen it make a grammatical, syntactic or spelling

Agreed, and if you combine silence with physical movement (aka go for a walk or hike) the benefits of both are amplified. So many brilliant men in history are known for having walking routines. I'm not going so far as to say walking m

OpenAI was the new entrant that almost certainly didn't pose a threat to Google. This is classic regulatory capture.

This is partially down to good promoting though. It has seen those Stack Overflow responses and if you ask it to give you more context about a certain approach, it will. I've learned when asking GPT-4 for help to push past the first an

I use GPT-4 for helping with my code all the time and I still get that feeling, because once the code base is sufficiently complex there's no avoiding the logic puzzles. Maybe one day it can look at your entire code base and just fix i

I think your point is a good one, there's some arrogance in assuming our short observations can be extrapolated forward, yet pointing this out is frowned upon. My guess is people fear inaction on climate change, so they are comfortable

I'm building a p2p AI sharing platform, which runs in browser using webRTC. Basically a glorified chat room where everyone has access to the same AI. I use it for coding the site but also for creating the user sessions, which right now

It would be trivially easy to get it to do this, just not in one prompt. Ask it for help in making your app instead of asking it for the whole thing.

I mostly agree with this review. I absolutely loved "What I Talk About When I Talk About Running," which is basically a memoir as well. But this book wasn't nearly as engaging. If you're more interested in a memoir than

I feel like the article would have been a lot more convincing in the pre-GPT era. I use GPT-4 daily, and the author is simply wrong about its capabilities.

It's substantially better. I've compared the same prompts between both, and GPT-4 is always better, except when you need speed or it's a very simple task. For complex tasks, especially requiring some sort or social understand

It surprises me to hear this. Have you used it as I described by writing a descriptive comment first then waiting to see its response? I only noticed it getting good at this after I was somewhat far along on a project, so I assume it requir

I've noticed that after using copilot on a code base for a while, you can effectively prompt the AI just by creating a descriptive comment. // This function ends the call by sending a disconnection message to all connected pe
