I know I'm in the minority here on HN, but....look: I feel bad for the developers of the various 3rd-party apps that this is happening. Having the rug pulled from your livlihood just absolutely sucks. Having said that: Can you reall

I’m super ambivalent about stories like this. Ignoring what the actual laws are for a moment - this is a game designed by the casinos to their advantage. If a player can figure out a way to get his or her own advantage, more power to them!

For sure. A bit of luck in several places: I'd been buying and selling casually during my off-hours for the past few years, mostly as a way to keep my brain moving in other areas (some people watched movies in their free time - I bou

Raises hand (...halfway...) I'd been solidly in tech for the past ~9 years - DevOps software, eCommerce company, sales enablement software, etc. I also re-picked up my hobby/passion of coin & currency collecting a few years

I do actually. While I personally am excited about LLMs' potential for good, I think a large swath of the world is ready and equally as excited about their potential for harm / spam / fraud / etc. I'm already seei

…was this written by an LLM? I’m starting to doubt anything on the internet that’s overly cherry and polite. Sigh.

Thank you - yep that’s the one. Sorry I was on mobile and going by memory.

How long it takes me to build new features for my application, fix bugs, and in general get things done.

The VSC extension is just a conduit to the OpenAI API. You use your own API key. I haven’t dug into the exact data flow, however, so I can’t speak to whether the extension is collecting any or what data itself.

I too share your pain here - BUT - I have another observation: I think, and I hate that this is true, but I truly think larger enterprises - and specifically the people who make buying decisions within non-technical departments at larger en

I’m a company of one, and I use it every day, multiple times a day as a coding assistant. I’m using the excellent Code Genie (sp?) plug-in to VSC which puts a chat window directly in VSC and does cool things like allow you to highlight bloc

I feel incredible empathy for the people who have had AI companions taken away from them. I don't judge (nor should any of you) and it seems heartless and cruel for the company to have done this. I hope some folks double-down on open

I've had a similar experience (but slightly different). The biggest innovation that ChatGPT has brought to me in my programming/workflow tasks is the comfort and ease in which it creates shell scripts. That's an area that&#x

Agreed 100%. It's absurd. The results get distilled as "more data leads to worse outcomes" and that's ridiculous -- it should be: "more data leads to bad decisions which lead to worse outcomes". We should A

I think you may be missing the intended audience for this — it’s aimed at folks who are visually or otherwise impaired and cannot type using a traditional keyboard/input device.

Oo this is relevant to my world (professional coin & currency dealer here)! A scourge, but relevant. To address a few different things people have said in sibling comments: * Theft/security at coin shows is actually a real issue.

Speaking of, how do we get back pre-lobotomy Sydney? I feel like in the milestones of AI advancement, the brief multi-day blip where the world could interact with that version of the model will go down in the history books. Seems like a w

I guess I have a question here: Both this post and many many many posts in the main GPT-4 thread are making this same point. I get it. They started out as OpenAI, and they've realized over time that business is much better if they&#x2

I upvoted your comment because I think it's a fascinating perspective and worthy of discussion, even though I strongly disagree with you. One of the hallmarks of humanity is that we innovate and adapt. Shutting down / destroying t

Was thinking the same. My hunch is that their PR department thinks this will "create a buzz" much like the old waiting list for Gmail. But that feels like slow old thinking. The way you create a buzz these days (in the era of li

This is truly wonderful. I do the same (even if it's sometimes just "love ya man").
