I think it's just some networking misconfiguration they haven't noticed. I can't see them intentionally trying to prevent DoS this way, that's what API key rate limits are for (it would be a very expensive and slow DoS o

Are you using the API, or just the ChatGPT UI? Do custom instructions/system messages help at all? Saving resources like this seems okay(ish) for general-purpose ChatGPT, as they'd know there's a human who can interpret the a

This was using gpt-4-0314, fixed and datestamped. The counting shortcut still affects newer models too, but the old version undoubtedly changed behaviour without warning.

I first noticed the counting shortcut back in April. It still persists with both the previous and current models.

Yes, it seems their servers are terminating responses early. Unfortunately it's undocumented, was introduced unexpectedly one day, and prevents full use of larger context-window models. It also charges in full for the entire response,

There is an ongoing bug[1] with OpenAI's API, where it stops streaming responses after exactly 5 minutes. When I first came across the issue, I debugged it by writing a prompt along these lines: > Output every number from 1 to 1

PHP dev since 5.0 here. I think the severity of these breaking changes is overstated. I’ve been able to keep several large business-critical projects up-to-date for years, even up to PHP 8.3, with little to no breaking changes encountered.

It’s sad to see blanket statements like this. Stable Diffusion can be an extraordinarily powerful tool for creatives. I know two professional artists who both hated the concept of AI image generators. But since Photoshop added Generative Fi

That's what makes prediction markets work — if you (or anyone else, for that matter) feel the market has priced the expected outcome wrong, you stand to make a fortune! Great article on the economic theories behind it here: https:&#x2

Perhaps (respectfully) this is not good advice? In my experience a “sense of control” over one’s addiction only serves to keep it alive.

Each component is so simple, there’s no upgrading to be done. It’s just an handful of Alpine directives, most don’t include more than a line or two of JavaScript. Just copy-paste into your project, tweak as needed, and that’s it.

It’s great for quickly adding interactivity to any static HTML element. You can turn any element into an “Alpine component” simply by adding the x-data attribute. Imagine a drop-down menu like so: <div> <button>Toggle me

The culture war surrounding prompt engineering is so dumb. My eyes roll hard into the back of my head every time I read a comment like this. Prompt engineering is not the same as programming. In some regards, it is “better”. In other regard

WASM is a compiler target for countless languages, unlike JVM which is tied to Java. That’s what makes it incomparable to JVM… It’s a global runtime-on-demand for whatever you throw at it.
