Other languages I've used kind of give you this false sense of security and progress, but then suddenly you're troubleshooting some issue for hours and hours. With Rust, you might be troubleshooting the borrow checker for hours an

And the growth was really driven by the great exodus to service oriented and microservices architectures from monolithic webservers deployed to Tomcat and the like. The author in the OP really nails it when he talks about the ever-growing c

Treat adults as adults? You act like the user base for this are a handful of completely benevolent people. It's getting over a billion monthly visits. It is naive to think that OpenAI should take no steps towards making it safe.

One of the most widely used novel AI technology companies has a vested interest in public safety, if not only for the sheer business reasons of branding. People are complaining about the steps that Open AI is taking towards alignment. Sam A

I think it helps to come to peace with the fact that the web is extremely diverse, then pick a tool and learn it. In reality, table stakes is HTML, CSS, and at least a general understanding of JavaScript (not a deep dive). Then I'd pic

It's not about honesty vs. political correctness, it is about safety. There's real concern that the model can cause harm to humans, in a variety of ways, which is and should be unethical. If we have to argue about that in 2023, th

The interesting thing about AI is if sending a request to a prompt is your backend, then you can change your backend in a matter of minutes by doing some simple prompt engineering. I think as the consistency improves, it's going to bec

My friend and I recently built a little weekend project that could serve as some inspiration: https://oeno.chat . I think one thing to think about is really anything around language. Law, content, customer interaction (email, mar

Login screens in the apps I build. I love animating the response. If there's a success, fade out, fade in a welcome screen, maybe a fun spinner... It's the door to your app, so it feels like it's time well spent. It gives the

It is quite fast to make changes and see immediate visual results. There's basically one less step to making css changes. What you call "lazy" in your OP, the rest of us comfortably call "useful". If I need to add s

Correct. The latter point is important, especially in heavily regulated industries, or the public sector. You can't just tell the public you decided to do X because an AI told you so.

No, I've switched most of my knowledge keeping to Obsidian (including plain old copying and pasting links into a list). I sacrifice some fidelity to gain centralization, and it's all version controlled on GitHub, so I can edit it

In many cases, you may want to optimize one of the inputs to achieve the desired outcome. If you think of classic linear regression, you get a rough approximation of how each input affects the output. So, for example, if you built a linear

The best way is to be involved in communities focused on this sort of thing. YC and Indie Hackers are two. There is also Indie Worldwide. Aside from that, networking and staying active on Twitter seem to be fairly effective. I met my co-fou
