The one the govt made in Australia isn't half bad, though mygov was rough when it launched.

Thanks for the heads up on Claude; I attempted something similar with ChatGPT in the early days but was limited to one paragraph at the time, and it kept injecting a lot of repetitive noise like the character constantly looking forward to t

Sorry for slow reply! I don't know exactly how it works but I believe I'm receiving a feed of articles that reach the front page. I use it so I can consume new stuff without having to manually re-review the actual website myself.

One of my favourite examples of this was the skiing mechanic in the Tribes series.

Please don't use this. I see a lot of engineers, particularly stubborn seniors, who are dabbling in JS want to bring their functional programming gifts from heaven to us lowly JS peasants. In reality it makes the project inscrutable an

Normally I'd agree with you, but the porn industry isn't known for high fidelity with fantasy fulfillment.

The Verge (I think) had some great coverage of the industry in the last year or so that showed that the industry is still a pipe dream and the bodies are regularly mishandled and effectively become unrecoverable (not that we even can guaran

Really fantastic article. As someone who on a day to day basis is better at (and generally only thinks about) how to solve my employers own problems, it got me thinking about if any ideas I've had in passing might be good enough to loo

I just don't see how to do this without half-assing a framework and then it's not really Vanilla anymore is it?

Interesting, seems this implies you could implement enumerable alternative to WeakMaps?

I don't see a problem at all. You need to bootstrap a UGC platform somehow.

React Server Components remind me of inline PHP with html. Wasn't a good idea then. Not a good idea now.

This is reminding me of similar issues I've had with engineers that have been stuck in the backend bubble too long. They seem to operate in a constraint free environment and it's other devs who have to live with the awkward limita

I'm pretty sure these are different uses of the word crypto.

Except when people believe this: > Then why is the button there? It doesn't make sense for their to be a button that you should never press. I'm not buying it. I'm of course cheekily quoting you back to yourself, but I&#x2

Genuinely asking, what's an "unwoke" prompt?

The author wrote a thoughtful article attempting to break this down and has humbly popped into the comments to discuss it... Is your direct response really just to cross your arms and say nope? Like, really?

I still don't believe that in the long term it will be tenable to bootstrap LLMs using prompts (or at least via the same vector as your users).

You ask ChatGPT to write that test too (:

Obviously the risk here today is that ChatGPT isn't a trustworthy teacher, but the concept is of course absolutely riveting and obvious to everyone, which is why ChatGPT blew up on the first place. Iron out the kinks and I think it&#

FYI the autofocus on the API key field was a huge pain due to the Lastpass app (Android); it kept automatically opening the Lastpass app trying to fill it.

For the most part, John de Lancies' young Q in Star Trek Picard was very convincing. We're fast approaching where this tech gets over the uncanny valley.
