How do you use ChatGPT succesfully? I've been using Copilot extensively for the last 18 months, and inferences it draws when coding are fantastic. So I fired up my old OpenAI account and ChatGPT seems to quite horrible. 0/3 on 3 p

Such a compact resource usage in WebAssembly. I am seeing about 50-60MB resource usage which is fantastic considering that includes pandas, numpy, sklearn and some other non standard modules. By comparison when I tried to package a hello wo

Superb effort! It was a bit unsettling to play because as a human you were expecting to get crushed any moment but somehow I salvaged a draw on move 116. I've played thousands of games versus computer opponents (and tens of thousands v

Working for a library on rare fonts I've found Tesseract fantastic for custom training. It certainly beats Abbyy from 10 years ago - maybe a low bar to clear. I had to spend some time setting up labeling then did some supplemental trai

Fantastic channel! After watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rJ94rbdteE I have this irrational urge to go out and write some Rust. Indeed your scripts (the spoken ones) are great.

I was surprised how well a large modern building ventilates CO2. We had some employees complain about feeling "stuffy" when air conditioning was turned off(due to budget constraints). So maintenance brought their own CO2 meter an

Beanie babies, tulips, German marks from 1920s at least have some physical properties just like shells. If you have 100,000 cryptocurrency tokens worth 0, that presumably means there is no activity (no transactions, no validations, no minin

Typical Gavin Belson move: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u48vYSLvKNQ Of course it has been done for millennia. How does a CEO with enough class B shares to control shareholder voting take accountability? Self flagellation

Copyright should be 5-10 years tops if that at all. I work at a large national library and teach at a university, so have to deal with copyright issues every day. Everyone agrees copyright is broken. I release all my personal code under MIT

I feel like Charlie Gordon from Algernon with and without Copilot. Literally 10x faster development. Case in point: had an unexpected project and no time to complete it. Within an hour Copilot helped me: * Write a couple of tricky matplotli

The biggest problem is that there are no stockholder rights in Meta (just like Zynga, Google and many other ones). Zuckerbergs owns less than 50% of the company but he can do whatever he wants and no activist investor has any say. Owning th

I had a similar experience, bought Remarkable 2 just to have it sit on the shelf next to similarly disused GDP MicroPC. I wanted a nice notetaking device which would also be a decent e-reader. Remarkable is a decent notetaking device but th

Is HTTP always the same protocol as HTTPS - given the same version - and ignoring the encryption from TLS? Theoretically yes, but in practice? I've done my share of nc testing even simpler protocols than HTTP/1.1 For some reason t

I must be in the minority of programmers that I really really like Copilot but am indifferent about Stable Diffusion/Dall-E/midJourney. Copilot on Python makes me x5 more productive. I used Copilot in Beta for a year and continue
