Imagine you have a smart, multi-purpose robot that has been trained to be a jack-of-all-trades. The robot knows a little about a lot of things, but the extent of its knowledge about any specific thing is generally limited. Fine-tuning (or j

Lightsail is a pretty good middleground between fully-managed and fully-self-hosted, though. One of my WP blogs is on Lightsail and it was <5 minutes to set up and be ready; and TBH I'm pretty darn devops-challenged.

Quick fix: the higher the temperature, the more varied the potential responses. For uniform responses, you want the lowest temperature.

Part of the problem with the bar arrow keys is that the up/down are so small. I wouldn't want to "fix" the problem by making the left/right equally small.

Pry is amazing for understanding code. IMO the most useful method is absolutely `some_object.methods`, but you can also improve the output a ton by always doing: some_object.methods - {}.methods # or some other "parent" clas

Not everyone has access to GPT4. Those with access may also not want to waste one of their 25 quota messages on summarizing a random article.

This reminds me of a game I made a while back with gpt3.5 based on the AI Box thought experiment [0], where instead of social-engineering a password you're meant to social-engineer the AI into pressing a button. Plot-wise, the AI think

I think there are plenty of humans who wouldn't notice, though. And probably plenty of AI implementations that would notice.

Been using Alpine.js in a Ruby on Rails app for about 6 months now. It's a very cool, lightweight js library that I rarely see talked about.

I think a lot of Lyft's early "we're like Uber, but better for women!" marketing hints that this is a killer feature that will absolutely drive growth. Especially now that Lyft, too, is saturated to the point of equally-

Does the fourth passenger sit in the "driver's" seat, or is it a three-packed-in-the-back kind of situation? Never seen a self-driving-car in person, but I assume it's the standard 4-seater sedan layout, right?

Legally and literally: yes. Knowingly using a private API without authorization can fall under CFAA, contract law, copyright law, trespass to chattel, etc -- and you can issue a C&D and/or sue for whatever is relevant.

Presumably, they're looking out for their paying users (see: they want to keep those paying users), who would have a terrible experience if and when they found out someone else had been using their APIs and/or API keys.

Pedantry activated: in my game dev circles, I've only ever heard .io pronounced "dot i-o" when talking about itch.io. The style, however, I usually hear as "i-o style" or an "i-o game".

The late-night March 31 release of Worldcoin had the (unintended?) side-effect of making me think "a token to prove my personhood" was an April Fools Joke when I saw it the next morning and never thought about it again.

This looks interesting if it works. A side benefit of prompt hacking like this appears when you transition from OpenAI to local, cost-static models, too. Losslessly minimizing the number of tokens in a prompt should also (somewhat) reduce r
