While it's impressive, I agree that it tends to make over the top comments or reactions about everything. It could probably make a Keurig machine sound like a revolutionary coffee maker.

Did you take a look at the code generated? Was it well designed and amenable to extension / building on top of? I've been impressed with the ability to generate "throw away" code for testing out an idea or rapidly protot

- "There are thousands of highly qualified tech workers currently working as Starbucks baristas who feel the same way." Do you have a source for this data?

Highly talented software engineers are still hard to find. If you find one, pay them well and do everything you can to retain them.

I'm not having much success with this beyond very basic components. I think I'd have more success iteratively working with ChatGPT or Claude directly, and then pasting the code into jsfiddle, pastebin, or replit to see the results

Rationalizing a purchase because the monthly payments are small is a terrible way to approach shopping. If you don't have the money to pay for it upfront, you can't afford it. Full stop. People actually finance their phones, belie

"it's just made me feel like the computer is actually working for and with me and even that alone can be enough to get me motivated and accomplish what I set out to do." This is a great way to describe what I've been fee

You can turn photos of math worksheets into additional practice problems using OpenAI's gpt-4-vision-preview and Python. Today, we’re going to use ChatGPT, in Python, to take an image of a 6th grade math worksheet and generate a simila

I'm so happy it didn't take long for a "transparent aluminum" reference to be made. Now go save some whales!

Way too complex. Just have ChatGPT figure this out for you, given a nicely engineered prompt :)

It's invisible because we like to talk about freedom and free market. But there are so many regulations and policies that essentially funnel money and power into the hands of a few. It makes the notion of freedom and free market somewh

I love listening to Guy Raz's "How I Built This" podcast - a common element in almost every success story is the number of failures it took to reach success. Failure, the ability to keep working / pivot through failures,

Exactly. I keep reading articles about how home prices are "falling" or "plummeting". Yeah right. They are more expensive than ever, especially when you factor in interest rates. Home prices need to collapse in order for

Sure, but who was opting for an ARM in the last 5 years?

Exactly. WhatsApp was fine before Facebook, and will be fine after Facebook. They only acquired it to stifle competition.

That's some Black Mirror level dystopia there, and totally within the realm of possibility, if it isn't already happening. Sync that up with Apple Watch 8's ability to estimate ovulation, and poof, declining birth rate proble

Would you be okay with a drunk driver killing one of your family members? What if that could be prevented with tech like this? Does your personal liberty outweigh the need to keep people safe from tons of metal hurtling at them at insane sp

$12/month is a LOT of money for sending some messages back and forth with your significant other. I would suggest they use Signal for that.

If I had to guess, they probably let him try whatever he wants, without that knee-jerk impulse of saying "that's crazy, no way!" or "stop what you're doing and clean your room" or "you're always in th
