I couldn't get it to read your post... maybe I had the wrong prompt? (I asked it to read hacker news, I gave it the link to your post, I told it NOT use snow white, etc) Bard replied: "Thou, O Queen, art the fairest in the land.&q

I tell it that I'm using <database and version> and give it the relevant DDL statements (e.g. CREATE TABLE, etc) then ask it to write the query to do <x> in plain English. It does surprisingly well. But!!! the first respons

First off, there's a lot of people shooting off their mouths - ignore anyone who hasn't used ChatGPT extensively: it takes some training to learn to use it. Several senior developer friends have been using ChatGPT quite a bit and

I expect a 22 year old to hire someone who knows this, and I expect the board of directors to strongly recommend that a 22 year old to hire someone who knows this.

Me & many senior engineer friends are starting to use ChatGPT like "junior engineers" to write code them. It's not even a question anymore.

SVB's fall happened in less than 48 hours and nobody actually thought they'd fail until they did - with FRB, people took the risk seriously because of the precedent.

To be fair, Google copied this playbook whole-cloth from how Microsoft fought Netscape and survived its transition to the Internet - I was there when billg sent the famous memo. LLMs are obviously a sea-change and existential threat to sear

in many categories, things don't change so quickly for example in construction. Even for power tools, 2 yrs is fine for getting an overview.

I dunno, more and more friends are now using ChatGPT as their PRIMARY resource in everyday tasks: - writing code snippets (switched from StackExchange/Google) - travel planning - online shopping research and of course the famous exampl

Groups for Business seems to be thriving and has many new features, especially for admins. (it's well integrated with free/consumer Groups, and I assume they use the same codebase, i.e. consumer Groups is just a tiny subset)

Assuming they haven't secretly done this somehow, I assume the only reason is that Western powers have forbade it (i.e. made non-proliferation a requirement of their support).

I wonder if ChatGPT could be used to port more rules from pylint to ruff ?

I hope you're right but I'm friends with a number of second and third tier photographers, and work is already a struggle. Many are already moving to other professions. The cost and hassle of a professional photo shoot is insane, t

if you point to the code snippet, I can look further - but in the very original design the whole point is that free() doesn't need to be called, which is the point of automatic memory management (of which GC is an example). I'm as

by asah 4y ago
this is an interesting point, i.e. malloc/free is perhaps one of those things that's great for getting started, but something you replace when going to scale and production.

thanks. I was very early, but not a founder of the IPOs. If you have access to dealflow and add value (e.g. as staff, investor or adviser), then it's much easier to "pick winners" and let others take the bigger risks and enjo

Sorry, but there's so many things wrong with this... - nobody cares about "unemployment" - they care about investing decades of their lives and losing their jobs and not being able to replace them quickly at the same level of

fun story: friend of mine was interviewing at Microsoft Research in the early 90s and too many interviewers kept asking him to design a GC. Finally, he decided to go for it and sketched out the Boehm-Weiser GC on the whiteboard, to the dumb

sorry, but that's not how code works. It's true that code quality could be terrible but in fact Google is famous/notorious for extreme code review at the line-by-line granularity, plus comments, design docs and more. The re

sorry to ask but can you provide some examples? in particular, GH actions has a million plugin rules/scripts - does this create compatibility/porting issues?
