Good lord! This is your view of a human being that has completed 7–10 years of college after 12 or so years of education, passed a difficult Bar exam, interviewed with employees of a law firm, and experienced decades of perceptual, conceptu

One of the much-touted aspects is that it'll create programs for you (or aspects of programs, if you prefer). Eventually, one suspects, you can specify decent requirements and get a significant volume of code that realizes those. Do yo

I predict it'll all come crashing down once people start having skin in the game. (Right now, it's a toy, the source for a million overheated news articles and opinions.) ChatGPT can pass the Bar. Okay, have it draw up a contract

I pay for archiving and it was broken for a bit. I've emailed him a few times about it and I can say that it is totally working now—like save a bookmark and it's archived same day or sooner. If you sign up for Pinboard at this poi

There was a blog post about ST4 in 11/2022[1] indicating Build 4142. My current version is Build 4143 so there's been at least one other one since. Personally, if it keeps working (and boy does ST keep working), then who cares if

It reminds me of the "code generator" phase we went through a decade or so ago. At least then we could see the "code generator" code and adjust it when it produced dreck. I'll also note that the next hardest part of

Oof, that inspired me to check and mine's at 17%. I'm fine with experiments, too. (It reminds me of the old Google Labs part of search.)

Yes, I did the same result in one or the other for all my searches before I committed to paying and it was always as good or better than Google. (I even gifted a year's subscription to my friend.)

If anyone's interested in a very accessible look at LIDAR exploration, I highly recommend explorer Albert Lin's National Geographic series Lost Cities.[1] [1] https://www.natgeotv.com/za/shows/natgeo&#x2F
