I should clarify that she would be able to pick up MySQL or Postgres without too much trouble.

That's a good idea. She knows finance/markets stuff too. I guess I thought banks had kind of cut throat cultures, but I agree that it's not necessarily like that in all departments. We'll for sure check out analyst posit

Oh I read about the about the DK effect a while ago. I'm pretty much an expert in Psychology now, AMA.

I think the developer is justified in his self-described rant. He has gone through other channels and engaged with the project leaders directly. He has waited years for the bugs to be addressed. Microsoft is in the wrong here for sellin

I asked it to write an elasticsearch query for me and it worked, thanks!

It's usually up. No way this unrelated.

I used it for the first time today too, for the same reason. It was slower and much worse at coding. I was just asking it for SQL aggregation queries and it just ignored some of my requirements for the query.

Does this extend to politeness? If, in the training set, people are probably more likely to be helpful to a polite question, does that mean that ChatGPT will be more helpful if I ask the question politely? My intuition is yes, but I wonder

Sure, we can say that advertising in general is psychological manipulation. But that isn't what ajkjk was saying. They were ok with advertising, but not ok with targeted ads. > they should show fewer ads that don't fuck with ou

What makes a targeted ad the same as psychological manipulation?

This review is so long that it is actually a good substitute for reading the actual book. It covers the main points, and skips over hours of fluff, such as Lewis's constant personality analysis of SBF. Also I think it importantly touch

I believe that IntelliJ can do this for remote servers. It installs an IntelliJ agent on the server and it’s like remote development, your real IDE becomes a lightweight client of it.

It’s too late. People already call it hallucination and confabulating sounds weird. The idea that you think you can reverse the trend with a HN post is interesting though.

Ignoring it completely is a viable strategy. A lot of 12 factor sounds like common sense to people who regularly ship stuff. For example, if I fail to put the config in the environment, the risk that introduces will be immediately obvious i

I wouldn't be against some regulations that require safety critical AI models to be fully explainable. Or at least to some extent that "look what apparently ChatGPT can do" wouldn't qualify for.

I see, I think they're just broken for me in general.

These github.io pages always go down once they hit the front page.

I've wondered about this. If it's trained on human responses, and humans are more likely to be helpful to a polite question, then shouldn't ChatGPT also be more inclined to give helpful replies if I say please and thank you?

Devs who know they need an event queue but are not technical enough to set one up in SQS sounds like a very niche market to me.

I perhaps misunderstood that they get a small life time cut of my salary. You may be right that they get a bigger percentage of yearly, but as a lump sum, just of the first year.

I believe that my firm only does Chicago, but there are similar firms that contacted me that were for NY based companies.

It was this way, my yearly comp is whatever they offered me. What my recruiter makes is not my business, and I just assumed that they took a cut. I misspoke when I said "Maybe I did understand", I meant, "Maybe I did MISunder

Maybe I did understand. But I was under the impression that the company gets paid on a percentage of the salary the negotiated for me, and that she get's some of that too.

Thanks for your input. I did think that being exclusive was not great, but with the amount of interviews I was getting at companies that I was interested in, I was like "this should be work". To bring this down to numbers, years a

I'm talking about the ones that are employed by some recruiting firm. Their incentive to help you is that they get a small cut of your salary, which is paid by the company who hires you. And while, yes, you can argue that it is still i

I contacted on LinkedIn by a recruiter, who I saw there were mutual acquaintances with and she even was my dads recruiter for a while. She did her work and now gets a percentage of my salary. That was an arrangement between her and my compa
