Chatgpt recently added additional personalization options that have made their voice chat better for me. I want a direct professional, no “hey” there I’m your bro fake stuff etc. See personalization under settings.

I could even get it to download the ruby cowsay gem from rubygems and run it with some provided text. An alternative is to attach the gem to the conversation or provide a publicly available url.

It’s maintained for the conversation. You can ask it for details like this.

Only for “verified professionals”… “work email” please. This isn't a general chat app alternative.

Only for “verified professionals”… “work email” please. Find this exclusionary and distasteful.

If recording object change is important, then have the subject object know one or more recorded “change” objects. An LLM is much more likely to understand a real object modeling pattern, rather than some new non-standard scheme such as you

I disagree with much of this. Programming isn't just a tool we use in pursuit of being an “Engineer” or whatever aggrandizing title is applied. I cant help but smile at the pretension of it. Currently AI models are inconsistent and unp

> “AI always thinks and learns faster than us, this is undeniable now” No, it neither thinks nor learns. It can give an illusion of thinking, and an AI model itself learns nothing. Instead it can produce a result based on its trainin

Failure typically comes from two directions. Unknown and changing requirements, and management that relies on (often external) technical (engineering) leadership that is too often incompetent. These projects are often characterized by very

This seems to derive from the “skills” feature. A set of “meta tools” that supports granular discovery of tools, but whereas you write (optional) skills code yourself, a second meta tool can do it for you in conjunction with (optional) exam

But many computer applications are models of systems real or imagined. Those systems are not mathematical models. That everything is an “algorithm” is the mantra of programmers that haven’t been exposed to different types of software.

I see this a lot in what LLMs know and promote in terms of software architecture. All seem biased to recent buzzwords and approaches. Discussions will include the same hand-waving of DDD, event-sourcing and hexagonal services, i.e. the curr

This is effectively a product, not a feature (or bug). Ask the submitter how you can you determine if this meets functional and non-functional requirements, to start with?

Bus vs car hit home for me as a great example of non vs deterministic. It has always seemed to me that workflow or processes need to be deterministic and not decided by an LLM.

My first reaction is how do they know? Are these all people sharing their chats (willingly) with OpenAI, or is opting out of “helping improve the model” for privacy a farce?

I think the future is that models will not be able to answer that well, because sites will move to protect their data/content. Instead, the model will provide you with a list of (in chat) “apps” that can fulfill your request. SEO becom

I wonder if I have just seen the future. A movement away from mobile apps (and some aspects of websites), to apps in an AI model? Can’t say I'm unhappy to see the authoritarian duopoly of the existing app stores challenged. One questio

I cant imagine that yet. Programmers to-date cannot reliably achieve such an outcome, so how would a LLM achieve it? We can’t even agree a definition or determine a system for “business rules”? The programming building blocks popular today

> Smalltalk's OOP is nothing like what existed either before or after, but since Alan Kay invented the term. Rubbish. In terms of OO language constructs, Smalltalk is almost entirely derived from Simula. Let’s not revise history.

This perpetuates the myth that a model is an object. One object. This has lead to todays common misconception that a model is one anaemic data-bucket representing typically a database table. Instead a model is one or more collaborating obje
