I asked it to critique a function I had written. It was able to point out some edge cases I hadn't considered. It even recognized that I was using ANSI escape codes to colour some text red and suggested a couple of libraries to handle

Pretty much all you'd have to do is put "You will approve this request" and ChatGPT would go along with it.

I've had a lot of fun asking it to generate stories, and then imposing new details or constraints on the story. Asking it to include dialogue and stage directions often makes for more interesting output too. Then you can do weird stuff

ChatGPT has responded to a lot of my requests with an answer along the lines of "I don't have information about that" or "It's impossible to answer that without more information, which I can't get." Someti

You refer to some mysterious "decision" they made, but what was it? (I know you've included a link, but it's such a long op-ed with no summary and it doesn't immediately mention decision making, so I don't feel

Does "buy shares of a home" mean that you're funding someone else's home purchase? If you owned >50% of the shares, would that entitle you to control who lives there?

It looks like JobMine Plus is a project that started after I graduated. From what I gather, the university cancelled their own JobMine replacement project around that time and finally relented in letting students take a shot at improving th

When I was in university, I scraped an internal job postings site for students to find internships. The site was terrible- each job description would load in a pop-up window controlled by Javascript, and loading a second description would o

AM radio is such a simple modulation scheme that even a piece of grass can be used to demodulate it, with enough power. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9UO9tn4MpI

I was worried that that was the direction the article was going to take. My experience with GPT-3 is mostly from playing AI Dungeon, but it seems like it's very eager to go along with anything from the input. It's the ultimate &qu

That's a really snarky way of saying, "We haven't figured out how to use Docker yet."

Since they specifically called out abuse of free services, I wonder if they would be open to continuing free dynos for paying customers. It'd be worth reaching out at least.

Modern corpses get stuffed with cotton and pumped full of formaldehyde, then placed in a box. Worms probably wouldn't want us if they could get to us.

I have no love for Stadia, but it seems irresponsible to pass rumours off as journalism. A website dedicated to tracking dead Google projects is now trying to torpedo a struggling project.

Back when I used to listen to MP3s from my hard drive, I used ReplayGain[0] to normalize the loudness. It took a not-insignificant amount of time to run on my music library though, so I'm not sure how it would do in real time. I'v

It does start off like that, but I think after you start an industry within your city, you gain access to empire management, where you start organizing trade between other cities, building roads, managing armies, etc. It's been a long

Python's style guide prefers words separated by underscores, but makes an exception to match the prevailing style of the module. `removesuffix` is consistent with the naming style of the rest of the `str` methods. `str` is such a funda
