There are often comments on HN about how Google search doesn't work as well as it used to. It's worth noting that this is probably because this audience wants keyword matching rather than semantic search which Google switched to y

I guesss Altos Labs are growth hacking with unsubtle PR.

It helps if you don't know what you're doing. If you know what you're doing it just adds friction. This is actually not intuitive but should not be surprising since the perfect specification for code is well... code

You realize that blabbering makes OpenAI more money right?

Most likely reaction to shipping your project for the first time: crickets. I don't say this to be disparaging. We set up mental milestones that really aren't important to the rest of the world. What is really important is your co

It also seems to have amped up the qualifier paragraph that's appended for anything deemed contentious. My favourite so far is when I asked it about the name of a video driver from the 80s that would downscale cga to monochrome: '

I don't see a date on this article. If it's just been published, I can't helped but wonder it's part of a rainy day campaign given the Guardian article that was just published.

Wow - arj. Now that's been a while!

Seems unreasonable that you're downvoted for this comment. You can't complain about ads and also complain about paying a subscription.

Use cases for individual people are ok but it's far too expensive to deploy into your SaaS where a large number of users will use it.

It's exceedingly expensive and must surely come down over time.

Try OpenAI services in Azure. We were added to a waitlist but got approved a week later. Had 32k for a few weeks now but still on the waitlist for plugins.

Even today, client cert selection in the browser is really ugly. I once needed to add client cert support to an API but because the same API was used by our SPA, enabling client certs even as optional caused the browser to display a cert pr

It would be interesting to see the count of 1984 references per year in HN comments here. Almost sure there's a steady YoY increase. Unfortunately it's so prescient it's no longer helpful to reference it.

I take your point but that is not a problem that is unique to software.

Ideally, at some point in life you've reached "self-actualisation" and what you do for work is meaningful and important to you.

Never come across this before. The collection of articles one level up from your link is an incredible resource.

You've hit the nail on the head, it feels like outsourcing. That's what you do if you don't know how to code yourself. As an engineer, it's easy to miss how empowering this is for someone who isn't an engineer.

It's beyond an equivalent to a Docker container because it includes kernel isolation. This is a security distinction that isn't well understood.

You know what's hilarious about this - they quote specific examples of information that was prevented from being sent to ChatGPT. Someone at Cyberhaven is reviewing the requests it blocked.

Now that there's plug-in support, this kind of request will actually be feasible soon.
