I proposed META tags for the same reason. I don't think this is going to happen though.

That is going to be the new threat. There will be bots that can sign-up for new accounts and pass the 'are you human' test. The only defense left is credit card or government ID verification.

What matters if that if they aren't very good, or contain glaring mistakes, they will receive really bad ratings.

Generative AI art definitely isn't done. I'm actually working on a feature-based UI, currently Dall-E 2 only, but I plan to add Stable Diffusion backends too. https://inventai.xyz

It would be interesting to see the effect LLMs apps like ChatGPT and Co-pilot will have.

I'm using React, and I feel like I can manage as a team of one. But React has a huge community, which means lots of libraries for just about anything you need. I previously used HTMX for another project of mine, and it worked fine too.

Yes, AI is like social in that regard. You can add social features to any app, and the same applies to AI. But there are also social-centric sites/apps, and it will be the same for AI.

If I need a caffeine boost I have a cup of decaff in the morning. There's still some caffeine in there, and it seems all I need. Green tea is also good.

I know that there are long-term pressures and various reasons why people get stressed. But stress is also biological, cortisol the stress hormone causes harmful reactions in the body. This can cause a chain-reaction into a downward spiral t

That video feels like an AI saying: "this is what you look like to me". Of course it's really not quite getting things right, so the uncanny valley effect kicks in.

The current approach to AGI, as seen with projects like AutoGPT and BabyAGI, is to call an LLM (GPT-4 is the current choice) to solve and generate useful content recursively. Tasks are output, so for every task generated the LLM is asked to

I think that Googles AI plans were very much based around long-term research. This meant that OpenAI had the opportunity to go to market with something that worked very well quite quickly. Google are also very much aware of reputation probl

I agree that prompts are mostly just context. Although you can get quite detail with that, to a degree that it doesn't feel that way. That's why I'm building InventAI, to help with that process: https://inventai.xy

I'd say the individual pieces work fine, as shown by GPT-4, but could always be better. This is something like making a list of things to do for marketing a product. Then for each list, making more detailed lists where needed, and usin

Chargebee support quite a few payment processors too. Unfortunately none of them worked for me, because PayPal (the only one usable in my country) has been unusable. One of the big reasons is because the only bank that supports them in my c

Rewriting could be worse. I hope there are safeguards against that, but then misinformation is already trying to do that.

PL/pgSQL needs some styling improvements: 1. Get a better name, PL/pgSQL doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. 2. Get rid of those $$ at the start and end of any PL/pgSQL, it's just verbose and ugly.

That's a good general rule, but it doesn't seem to apply to many supplements which only work well in high concentrations. Lutein is a good example.

Yes there are studies on it. I and others who have tried it can personally vouch for it too. 20+mg per day in the mornings works great. Many supplements are very powerful, you just have to find trustworthy sources. A lot of the hype in adve

They're looking at people who likely grew up as bilingual, who they say are not generally smarter than those who only know one language. There should still be cognitive benefits to learning new languages as an adult, just as learning a

I was thinking of more along the lines of specialized framework and libraries for state machines. Perhaps those aren't necessary.

Only DB portability would be a concern to not used stored procedures, that I can think of. If you want to write an application that can use multiple DBs then you might have a problem.

It performs well because the context switch between the application and the database is costly in terms of performance. If there is logic to be performed per row, and that logic also requires data that's in the DB, then the performance

The gem they link to hasn't been updated for the last 10 years. State machines get a lot of praise, but seem scarce in practice. Perhaps there are practical problems with using them in the long term?

Surely they make a ton from their cloud services. I wouldn't think they needed to make more money from Windows over and above the license fees. This is more likely revenue optimization. I'm happy with my move to Fedora!
