Huh, maybe this is why big-G hasn't been too concerned about the rise of ChatGPT. As long as they have Chrome, they still have direct access to a huge portion of web users - even if said users have shifted from using their search engi

I find the opposite. Ruby has a longer list of String, Array and Hash methods/functions and they're also more useable. Another issue I had was that Python's test frameworks like PyTest were just so weak compared to the likes

Having only a basic knowledge of how GPT works under the hood - is it not computationally expensive to prepend these instructions to every single prompt given? I mean, is there a way to build the model with these instructions already &quot

When I was a student I worked for a company who made injection moulded HDPE parts for fishing boat gear. After a few years on the market, the company noticed identical products coming out from China, the only difference being that the part

Been thinking about this a lot over the last year. It's becoming very difficult to plan for the long term future, career-wise.

What's also hilarious is his reaction to some creepy looking computer generated art/animation which for some reason they chose to make look like it had a disability. “I am utterly disgusted,” he says. If you really want to make cr

Who would have thought that replicating nature would yield the best results... The Miyawaki method is probably relevant to this discussion - https://www.creatingtomorrowsforests.co.uk/blog/the-miyawaki...

Oh nice, I did most of this in school, and during my non-CS engineering degree. Thanks for sharing! Always wanted to dip my toes into ML, but I've never been convinced of it's usefulness to the average solo developer, in terms of

Not really a problem I've come across but I'd say if you're passing 100 arguments to your initialize method, you probably need to refactor somewhere? Personally, I like seeing the instance variables I have rather than having

Almost being the key word here ;) I tried testing in Python years ago and found the likes of PyTest etc to be light years behind what RSpec and even Minitest offer.

He states it took 1000 attempts with two steps in the process requiring a "stroke of luck". This doesn't sound like it's going to be easy to replicate or verify.

So it took them 1000 times to get a good result from this experiment over 19 years, and two steps in the process require a stroke of luck? That doesn't inspire confidence.

Yeah, why not go with at least a soft deletion first? Allow people to transfer to a paid Dyno for up to a month after the change happens or something.

Yeah. The guy had what appears to be a pretty great life. Looking through twitter, there's photos of him with his kids and wife. I just can't comprehend how someone can arrive at the decision to commit suicide, especially when y

Really? Copilot uses GPT-3 under the hood though - are they not using the same model underneath?
