Funny, I've been having an idea of building a pulsejet drone specifically to address drone shortages in Ukraine recently. Guess the ideas of this sort are literally in the air these days.

Well, on that note: how do you use GPT4, and how do you pay cents for it?

Google scrapped "Don't be evil" a long time ago. Now it's some kind of "Kiss the ring and have respect for the hand that feeds you" or something.

Hard to say. But with a $20 subscription, you could ask ChatGPT 4.0 to interpret the truth that exists in that comment :D

Yes, I have. It's hilarious. Example ======= Me: I have a small sack with yellow sand, and a big sack with blue sand of the same density. I take some amount of sand from the small sack, and put it into the big sack. Then I take the sam

>GPT-4 with code interpreter is better at math than elite Math undergrads. Yeah, and I just spent $20 to call BS on what you said. GPT-4 just bullshits with confidence. I don't see how code interpeter can possibly help here. Behol

I co-authored a published mathematics paper on knot theory[1] and wrote software that did the computations (and generated diagrams) in that paper as a Math undergrad, and I don't consider myself elite (though I did went on to get a

Life isn't a race, you're on your own journey. FAANG job isn't end-all (speaking as someone who's worked 2-3 of those). If you can pay your bills and keep your mental health from being completely ruined, that's a so

How about letting the user decide whether they want to scale beyond a certain point or incur huge charges? Not too mention: if the primary purpose of these services is to allow a DDoS and then charge the user for it — then, yup, you

As someone who taught college Calculus: enough of them grok it that incomprehensible label is absolutely unwarranted. It's really a very hands-on part of mathematics.

by romwell 3y ago
Given that multi-variable calculus is accessible to college freshmen, and millions learn it every year, it's hardly incomprehensible . You'd be right to be suspicious of the Space Shuttle though. You may have noticed that it&#x27

Ah, I see. Indeed, your statements aren't inherently incorrect. That's the danger with analogies: without additional structure, they make it easy to get different readings out of the same text. Safe use of an analogy "A is li

That I can fully agree with (particularly, comparison with fuzzing). Your comment presents a way more grounded perspective on the future of LLMs in programming than the article does.

Of course not! The Power of AI™ can figure out the true intent of the code by looking at the initial (and, potentially, buggy) implementation, and help the programmer by generating edge test cases where the code doesn't produce cor

Yeah, after working in semiconductor industry (computational lithography) where test-driven design is the norm... I'm not convinced. I'm not saying that writing tests before the production code is something that should always be

When ChatGPT gets agency regarding what goes into training data and what doesn't, gets paid minimum wage for the work it does, and can be held liable for violations of the law, your question will be very relevant. Until then...
