Because what the code does is simple enough, connects to a database, runs some queries and returns the results. I know it worked because I tested it and for that kind of code there aren't really edge cases. Even if I can't validat

I thought about learning Go and Fiber to build the backend of a side project of mine and I did but as it goes for any new language / stack I wasn't feeling confident in it. Then ChatGPT came out and I thought what the hell, let&#x

The original comment did not come across as bitter-sweet as it should be. It came across as entitled, sort of disgruntled by the fact that the monks keep the secret to themselves and the drink can not be industrialized and produced to such

We can check our answers, we can spit out bullshit like it does but then take the time to check them. It has no process for checking the answers or analyzing them and I'd rather not ask it how confident it is because that's just n

I live in Romania, I spend about that much on food since prices have gone up and I eat probably less than 2500 avg. I might buy more expensive ingredients though and if I bought shittier food I might go to around 200 euros but that's a

by jack_pp 4y ago
I haven't tried Soylent. Jimmy joy is currently 15 euros for a 950g bag which has 4000 calories, that's 3 euros for a 800 calorie meal so it should be cheaper than homemade food.

Food is typically more expensive per calorie than Soylent and competitors (should) be. Also requires time to shop for groceries, prepare food, wash dishes. If you're on the go these are perfect, in theory. I lived for a month in Amster

It is debatable whether we really have an overpopulation problem or not. Pollution in general is caused by industry not individuals. You could argue big industry is the result of a large population but it's still a systems problem imo.

Exactly, I've been programming for a long time, almost 13 years since I started working on complex software and that question just makes me draw a blank. There's been bugs in my career but none that have "traumatized" me

B doesn't cost you 50$, you can get a VPS for <10$ a month. If you wrote it in typescript just read a tutorial for express and host it on a VPS, shouldn't take you more than a day or two. Now if it blows up that's a harder

I wouldn't have thought it could do even this, I am truly amazed that it was able to infer type from name and then keep in context everything it did. I decided to use postgres instead of mysql, asked it to rewrite it with that in mind

It is niche in the sense that it is new and there are less examples of it on the internet, maybe not even 10% of the public python code uses it.

I asked it to create a struct representing a table in Go, without telling it the types and it inferred those just from the names, including having lat/long as floats. Then I asked it to write a fiber app using that struct with a single
