No you're not understanding. There is a unique ID, in this particular context it's called a CRN (customer reference number). Every person who receives social security in Australia has one and they're fixed for life. The lack

I've smelt the sweet scent of anticompetitive back-room dealing around OpenAI ever since they and Microsoft started forcing people to apply for access to the APIs and including telling them what the use case they were going to use it w

I've 100% noticed a steep decline in the quality of things like grammar, sentence structure, spelling, and syntax in the last few weeks. GPT-4 used to write with consistent under-grad level quality. Now it's closer to a junior hig

> Why is there a "provide blogspam" mode? Because blogspam sites all implement Google Adwords for monetisation, meaning Google can now show you 30 ads instead of just 3 at the top of the search result. Remember, Googles custome

Except Google lies. It's like trying to write a Gmail filter with the "=" and then a word wrapped in quotes. You would THINK that would be a strict X = Y... but it's not. At some point a few years ago the Gmail team made

Can't remember exactly where I saw it, but last number I saw said that Google makes ~$12 a year per user. Which begs the question... why have they not atleast tried a "Google Premium". Fuck it, I'd pay $15 a year to have

Correlation does not imply causation. Of course countries that are already involved in a joint-forces defensive military alliance are going to be more likely to enter into other external wars together. That doesn't mean the defensive a

For context for anyone reading this, Mearsheimer is one of the most hardcore anti-nato theorist's in the International Relationship world. He IS credible, don't get me wrong. But he does also represent the extreme end of the &quot

Can you explain wrist you mean by those two examples being different things? Do you mean that 'res' evaluates to a different result in each? Or that when you call 'object.method()' vs calling 'm()' you would ge

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft is just farming the wait list for the best ideas so they can build them while you're waiting and then beat you to market. Sounds like something they would do.

Yeah I should be clear, I meant this question purely as a curiosity, not a recommendation. I'm a PM, trying to properly understand K8's, definitely not providing recommendations hahaha.

Could you use Kubernetes to solve this? Have a single pod running the Redis instance and then multiple running Node.js talking to the Redis instance via something like DAPR ( https://dapr.io/ )

I think the difference today though is the developers do have the ability to tweak every single tiny little detail of the game in order to tackle these kinds of things, whereas in a physical sport there's really a limit to what you can

What if the government can get better capability out of a SaaS product paid for by private capital than they can out of something they build themselves? Are we saying government's should just be locked into single-build custom software

Because they have inanely high profit margins since their cars have something like 1/10th the number of moving parts, making them remarkably cheap to manufacture. Lower prices = more market share.

A lot of this stuff just feels like Europe is going to end up locking itself out of any level of commercial innovation in the gov-tech space. Open data etc I get. But a lot of the drives around only using actual open-src software just sound

I am yet to see GPT-4 admit to not knowing something rather than just hallucinating made up shit. If it could reliably tell me when it DOESN'T know something, I'd have a lot more respect for it's capabilities. As it stands to

I completely disagree with this idea that the model doesn't "intend" to mislead. It's trained, atleast to some degree, based on human feedback. Humans are going to prefer an answer vs no answer, and humans can be easily
