Nah, it’s just low expectations. It generally feels like they have been asleep when it comes to productising AI. Or maybe they want to pull a Kodak… who knows. Basically I don’t expect them to actually release anything exciting, and if they

I thought a lot of receipt/business cards scanning features in apps were partially powered by Mechanical Turk.

Maybe it could have got there with better prompting, maybe not. But by the time GPT-5 or 6 comes around it would be highly likely to be able to solve it perfectly.

I don't think I have ever solved a truly new problem from scratch when programming... It's all been apply algorithm x to y problem or crud stuff. The most difficult problem that I have asked GPT-4 to solve was writing a parser fo

The core problem with ORMs is that you end up having to learn the ORM on top of learning SQL and the particular database. It ends up being like working with the database through an opaque indirect layer.

I did not take screenshots at the time so I can not prove it. But I remember that I specifically spent effort/time to pick a name that was not marked as premium and double/triple checked before registering. Then about 3 months aft

+1 on the issues with NameCheap. 1. They routinely fail to auto renew domains despite correct billing details and auto renew being on (I lost some domains to this). 2. They support premium domains, so you can be struck by lightning and rand

There's benefits to be had for the average developer from being able to easily read the compiler/jit/vm code of their language. I write Crystal code and the fact that the Crystal compiler is written in Crystal allows me to ma

I tried running a docker app on Digital Ocean's app platform, the UI is nice and I can see it being acceptable for your average CRUD app. But I had to abandon it due to the latency just being too high and their built in monitoring inte

Minecraft is a bad example here as it supports advertising the port in DNS.

Sadly I think you are likely correct.

I am willing to pay a little extra for a nice dev/ops experience and simple/easy solutions that doesn't require spending days reading docs and diving into dashboards with thousands of options. Usually this results in me jumpi

Is it even possible to buy anything from those two stores without opening an account? Nope, not here. If you have to return something then you contact the company and they will verify from their records that you bought it, usually by lookin

1) A lot of the things I buy are electronic, so yes, I get them immediately at point of sale. And if that's not the case then how about asking me if I would like an email with a tracking number when it ships? 2) I have never had to sho

I mean, the few times I have handed a receipt to an accountant to do my tax they have asked me what currency it's in and I have had to go to the bank records to answer that. Anyway, it's besides the point. The point is that online

The vast majority of the things I buy don't need receipts to be kept and reported for tax. It's personal stuff like a streaming subscription, a book or a game. And the times I have tried to claim expenses as work related (in Austr

I have run a lot of WordPress sites, it's easy for a skilled admin to run it securely for a long time with barely any effort and unfortunately it's also easy for a user to make it insecure.

I don't mark receipts as spam, but I do delete them without opening them and I really can't blame the people who mark them as spam. When I buy something, I get a notification from my bank, instantly, that's basically the rece

Yep, they have an API.

Yep, good tools was the minimum a decade ago, these days you also need an asset store. I suspect the next decade you will need to have integrated AI tools. The only opensource game engine that looks interesting is Godot, they are working ha

"Why not Rust?" Well, if you have got access to a language designed for making games like Jai, then that would presumably be better than Rust.

My last job was in an open plan office with a constant noise level of 70db, peaking into 80db several times an hour. After about a year of it I noticed that it was affecting me mentally in a really bad way. I would get super irritated at pe
