At least with cost plus the producers have an incentive to dedicate enormous assets to build the thing. Government contracting is murderously complex, and factorially moreso when it involves the military. Being off a few percentage points o

I’ve found o1 can be more hit-or-miss than the relatively consistent 4o, but o1 tends to be better at solving really hairy problems. In an apples to apples comparison, 4o can overlook important things while focusing on the kernel of the pro

I’ve had the opposite experience: terrific use with modifying existing codebases. But then again I’ve been using GPT4 to code for over a year now and so I’m used to writing out prompts with my eyes closed.

AI speeds my coding up 2x-4x, depending on the breadth of requirements and complexity of new tech to implement. But coding is just a fraction of my weekly workload, and AI has been less impactful for other aspects of project management. So

I agree. I’d like to be able to share my knowledge from time to time for a small fee and little hassle on my part. I made some money on Codementor for a time and enjoyed it while I was between jobs, but wasn’t easy to balance that with FTE

You might have better luck at local events for likeminded professionals and network from there. Most people who are worth their salt won’t likely want to teach their craft to a rando on the internet. Nothing personal, there’s just too much

There is a logic in grouping the same businesses together. If a dispensary opens at, say, E 14th St in Manhattan, New Yorkers will know E 14th is the place to buy weed. So if you’re looking to open a dispensary (regulatory hurdles aside), y

Threatening to call my state AG and the AG of a company’s incorporating state for fraud has 100% always cut the bullshit and gotten me to rightful resolution when customer service gives me the runaround. I’ve never had to make the calls. It

Worst internet I ever had was at a Cupertino apartment…in 2013. Walked a mile to the office where we had blazing fiber. Manager said a lot of the valley outside of company offices was way behind cause of the cost of installation. Hope it’s

Yeah the copilot doesn’t need to be integrated into every keystroke, just able to analyze the context and kickstart the code. Getting up to speed with new libraries is so much easier with AI instead of the bad old days of trial-and-error-an

NYC used to be a zillion municipalities that grew into 5 boroughs over time. The only way you could swing that kind of government heft is to reincorporate the Bay Area into a similarly singular entity. Otherwise, as is now, all problems in

Echarts isn’t hard to set up anymore now that GPT-4 takes care of the complexity. Charts that used to take me days to set up and data-wrangle now only take minutes. I suppose this applies to other libraries but I like echarts.

In my past experience, Apple was full of graybeards who could code circles around younger devs. They’re the ones who knew how to build and maintain high quality software. I’m not sure if it’s the same way now, but I was highly impressed wit
