I was having trouble getting GPT-4o to extract data like address, email, phone, tracking number from random emails in an inbox. Sometimes it would do it perfectly and other times it would fail miserably on a similar email. Then I tried aski

There is a reason it is called vibe coding and not vibe architecting or vibe systems design. I have had better results when I come up with the overall architecture first. Then I'll vibe code to stub out classes and methods, and then vi

An app like an AI resume customizer based on job description will quickly devolve into a million clones. Something with a network and a first-mover advantage would have some staying power even if people clone it. For example an app where yo

Exactly...so if anyone can generate the app in a few days, you've got to find a vertical where you sign up everyone first and lock them in. Then the. next 10 competitors who generate the same app won't be able to get your customer

It would make sense to build that $100M company in a vertical where the first-mover advantage is a significant moat

Automobile marketshare for battery electric vehicles (BEV) in China reached 27% in 2024, compared to 13% in the EU and 8% in the US. Wow I didn’t realize adoption was so high in China https://www.bcg.com/publications/

I meant that a lot of people still pay cash for gas, but a move toward more electronic payments or at least an automated cash kiosk would let you get rid of those last use cases for a human attendant to take cash

It is hard to predict a new advancement in EV technology, but if we get to a point where an EV is cheaper than the equivalent ICE and charges faster than you can gas up (so about twice as fast as the fastest EV today), and has a longer rang

You should talk to users...in this case users are not just the people who put their CV/resume on your site, but also the recruiters, hiring managers, and interview committees who will be looking at the CV/resume. Their applicant t

I think the notion of what a programmer is will change. Programmers used to write punch cards, and then they wrote machine code, then code that had to be compiled, then interpreted code, and so on. It may just be that programmers will be pa

Trump spreads a conspiracy theory about white farmers in suuth africa (that is the lie on the front page). Then we get the real story that it is actually in the congo (that is like a page six retraction that no one will care about)

My skip manager started asking for weekly status reports so my manager started pulling Jira reports and feeding them to ChatGPT. It turns out that my skip manager was using Copilot to summarize those reports into basically what you could ge

My status reports are pretty benign and I keep it generic: "solved a P2 relating to Java GC by allocating more memory" or "created a powerpoint slide deck outlining the benefits of on-prem versus adobe cloud for AEM". No

I've been impressed with the memory feature, but I do see how it could be dangerous, especially if you use it for hobby projects and serious projects. For work, I use ChatGPT to generate my weekly status reports for work, and that will

This seems like it would only be useful for open source projects, like a check to see if a pull request matches a feature request or an open issue. For most companies, uploading your code and requirements docs to a random website is a non-s

I found ChatGPT can write terrible code for the simplest React components, but beautiful code for complex react-three-fiber components. I suppose that is because it was trained on beginner tutorials for basic components and advanced 3d mode

Yeah I often catch bugs in AI generated code and AI generally just codes for the happy path. There’s a big chance a nontechnical person wouldn’t think of the edge cases a seasoned engineer would.

I am a tech lead and while I don't use AI at my company (Disney) for writing code, since I have a team of contractors at my disposal, in my spare time I am working on a side project where ChatGPT is writing all of the code. It is an ex

Wouldn't an audit be an examination of materials you are asked to provide? They will not enter your residence or business and seize these items themselves.
