The guy has himself on a wheelchair as a profile picture and has his disease on the first page of his blog so i'm not sure what's being revealed

If the average programmer didn’t use ‘clean code’ techniques they would end up with crazy spaghetti, not the fast and clear code shown in the video. (the average programmer is not on HN and can’t do fizzbuzz)

I read an interview with the directors saying they wanted to make a good show inspired by the game rather than a straightforward adaptation. I can’t judge what they changed since I haven’t played the game, but I found this show really well

Think of using slow patterns as using a slow programming language. After you've optimised your python program and eliminated all hotspots, the python profiler isn't going to say 'hey, this could be still 10x faster if rewritt

If you program using design patterns that are 10x slower, your application end up 10x slower, even after you've optimised the hot spots away, and the profiler will not give you any idea that it could be still 10x faster.

I once optimised a SPA app that had to be really fast for usability reasons (industrial use), I replaced all the 'high level' JS patterns such as map, filter, and frontend framework things to use just if else and for loops and nat

It’s not zero at all it’s higher than dying from a bike accident

I'm having the same success with Google IAM, and I agree it completely solves the problem, except for one thing; It only works with compatible services, within your company boundary, within the same cloud provider whereas API keys or o

The reason why there’s a battle about gas stoves is that people care a lot more about the way they cook than the way they heat their house, but if they cook with gas, then they heat with gas. So if you want to push people away from gas heat

Also they should wear a bulletproof vest, as there's 20x more gun than bicycle related deaths in the USA

> I guess the rate of accidents for cyclists is still much higher than for pedestrians You don't have to guess ! It's in the video, the rates are surprisingly similar :)

All your arguments also apply to wearing a helmet while walking. The rate of injury while walking or cycling are similar. Do you wear a helmet while walking ?

Excellent ! I've been using a similar approach to write stories, what an amazing tool !

For me the conversational interface is what makes the AI useful as a coding companion, how do you integrate GPT-3 in your workflow ?

So here's the trick, show him some javascript code to do division step by step, call it 'foobar(a,b)'. Then tell him that when you want to 'foobar A and B' he has to execute the script step by step and take the fina

You can trigger system 2 thinking by asking it to 'explain step by step' or 'do it letter by letter'. You can also then instruct it to do it like that instead of what it usually does and it does it.

It can write high impact content if you give it a high impact prompt. I asked it to write a short story by giving a bit more to chew on, and it gave me an excellent result [0] (IMHO) Then I can talk to it, and give high level comments to tw

I use GPT to rewrite my text with better grammar and flow. I guess it will be marked as spam now ?

Billionnaire automated founders. Think about all the hard work and risk those AIs will have taken to de deserve all that wealth !

by fvdessen 4y ago
That’s a very short term vision. The founders and VCs are not any less automatable than their employees. I guess we’ll se how dearly they hold those beliefs when the AIs will own all the wealth

I've tried it and it works. It sometimes makes mistakes which it corrects when pointed out. And it's going to make less and less mistakes as the technology improves. It also can do many things I am not able to do. It's incred

I use it to review my code, improve my writing, find obvious flaws in my ideas, brainstorm, understand code in languages I don't know; translate code from one language to another, etc, etc, it's incredible.

In theory, exchanges should be more competent at securing funds that the average customer, as they have the economy of scale necessary to hire all kind of experts to make sure everything is done by the book. I mean it works for banks and ma

That's because the easiest to get new customers for a mobile game are the ones who play similar games but not yet this one. The customers then play the game and buy more in-game currency than was paid for the ads.

When you resize the window, both the frame and the content should be resized and rendered at the same time, otherwise you have gaps or clipped content

Some of them have mostly the same meaning as others but are only used in written form to express that you feel really intellectually superior to your audience. Such levels of snobbery do not translate to english.
