The annoyingly self-perpetuating truth: - There are a lot of JS devs available to hire - The ecosystem is huge and generally up to date (although you may have to bounce to a new framework for the same task a year later) - New tools like Typ

You can be as anti-war as you like until your neighbor invades your country. Then you have a choice: capitulate or fight. For allies of Ukraine and proponents of future peace, you can’t allow a precedent of invasion without meaningful conse

ServiceNow has quite a miserable user experience, but I guess their enterprise sales game is strong. They’re selling to C-levels, not us peons who actually use it.

I love Elixir and Phoenix/LiveView, but I have the same problem. I think it will need to gain the proverbial 10x improvement over React and JS frameworks in general before people consider it.

I hate how easy it is to get confused about what content on the page is even related to the original question. I have to get into my “Quora mindset” where I’m constantly double-checking that I’m not reading the response to a different rando

Honestly ChatGPT has worked well for things like this in my experience. If you can fit enough examples within a prompt, you may not need anything special.

I began my dive into ML a while back (remember when Data Science was the new hotness?) and quickly realized that a lot of the most interesting work really is "winner take all" in the sense that if you can't compete at the cut

Really cool promo video. I'm not sure what is particularly unique compared to what we now have in tools like Coda and such. Maybe more spreadsheet-focused than the others?

You can do this to an extent via fine-tuning, but you will need to do so via one of the other GPT-3 models rather than the ChatGPT API model (`GPT-3.5-turbo`). The latter is not available for fine-tuning.

Do you read books as you put them in your library, or is it more of a collection of books that you are working your way through?

Text completion is what the underlying mechanism is called. This is from the "Get Started" docs for GPT-3, which is the underlying model for what is used to build ChatGPT (technically they've been calling the model GPT "

This is a practice that occurs elsewhere in U.S. fintech as well. A bank account can become dormant if there are no deposits or withdrawals over a specified period of time as determined by the governing state. For California, it's 5 ye

This is all true. I moved to SF and really enjoy the fact that I can walk out my door, hop on BART, get out 40 minutes later in an international airport, and go anywhere I want. Except… it’s going to cost a few hundred dollars extra every c
