Independent consulting (as in, I tell you what to do, not you tell me what to do) for AI integrations (whether and how to add AI to your product/systems, and how to effectively use AI for coding). There's so much BS in AI that the

Interesting to see the inflection point when Jon joined. I recall something similar when Marko joined Plausible as a marketing person, which also started as a solo effort by a developer. To my knowledge Pieter does both himself, but he buil

> that would otherwise be deleted This is important. OpenAI was already deleting the data (as per their policies), now they can't. As an insult to injury, the paragraph you quoted also gives a fat middle finger to GDPR.

"Logs" sounds innocous, "private data" appearing in those chats is much worse. As a citizen of an EU country, I do not view trampling on my rights, directly violating my country's laws and reneging on published priv

> generate a painting You mean have a handheld device with a button they can press, which would instantly generate a painting of what it was pointed at? Agreed, that could never be art.

True. I don't think he'd outright lie, but possibly the calculation is ... stretched ... to fit the narrative. Let's call it a small pizza, then :)

The energy and/or water use comes up from time to time so I did a little digging: The average ChatGPT query uses 0.34 Wh (0.12 kJ, 0.3kcal) and 0.32ml of water. This means if you ask it one question every two minutes, you're using

Not OP, but no. IMHO, a fully local app is an app that can run locally with all the functionality, not that it's isolated from everything else. Browser, email client (running locally on your device such as Mail.app, mutt, Outlook,...),

> I fear your perception of their products is seriously out of date. How's the chipset+linux story these days? That was the main reason for not choosing AMD CPU for me the last few times I was in the market.

Had major problems with xinerama, suspend/resume, vsync, probably a bunch of other stuff. That said, I've been avoiding AMD in general for so long the ecosystem might have really improved in the meantime, as there was no incentive

That didn’t bother me so much (less than it should have), but string manipulation in C is tedious , man! And there was soo much string manipulation (none of it done by a helpful framework)… I used Perl instead, which worked way better in t

Yes. Personally I believe current copyright law is a massive outreach and mostly serves established big companies, not small creators and innovators. I'd like to see it curtailed by a lot. That's no excuse for a VC-backed startup

You don't need to be a lawyer to understand you can't just copy others' IP without checking if you're allowed to. By your argument, I can just torrent moviez and appz because I'm not a lawyer and can't be bothe

This reads like people have been sleeping through mountains of shit being thrown at them (content, news, user-hostile services...) for decades, and then suddenly woke up and blame the most recent hype. Most of Internet is crap. Most of medi

That's one reading of that paper. The other is that they intentionally forced LLMs to do the things we know are bad at (following algorithms, tasks that require more context that available, etc) without allowing them to solve it in a w

Of course, you should be adjusting for the wage rise instead. FRED figures show wages slightly outpaced inflation: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LES1252881600Q (unless I'm reading the chart incorrectly)

I can easily believe that number. However it's unclear how they arrived to it. Can anyone with a Gartner subscription take a look to see if this passes a smell test?

If you’re not appearing, you’re disappearing. Now they are firmly on the map, which presumably helps with hiring, doing deals, influence. If they stop publishing something , they run the risk of being labelled a one-hit wonder who got luck

These are all very good reasons if we’re talking about technical users setting up servers. For nontech users who need to run random desktop software, dtrace, jails, pledge, uveil and zfs are irrelevant. Ext4 and Chromium will do just fine,
