All these "features" were implemented by engineers. Without trying to dox anyone, who are these engineers? And why did they accept to implement these user-hostile features? This is not a faceless company, but actual people that th

I wrote my latest (released) iOS app in obj-c. While I see some of the benefits of swift, I find it unnecessarily unreadable. One might argue about this, but as a developer, I value how readable the code is (no matter the language). Going o

Ha, just last week I was on a Wizzair flight that had a one-hour delay. Because of the delay, rentalcars automatically cancelled my (already paid!) car rental booking and their agent tried to extort 400 (then later, 500) euros from me. In t

This is the way! I thought about this the past couple of weeks: I get less than 10% of the visits to my website(s) from google [measured via Plausible]. I want to block google(bot) from visiting my website and I'm seriously considering

I read the paper and while I agree that maybe math is not GPT-4 strongest point, I have noticed the same degradation in quality. And as I know there will be many commenters asking, here's my experience. Four months ago I released a mob

I read the post and the comments here and I honestly can't wrap my head around some of them (comments). Being jobless takes a huge toll on the mental (and physical) health and instead of being supportive and empathic, we deride the str

I worked as a consultant for about 3 months back in 2012 for Telecom Italia. I had a contract with an agency, that was “selling” me to another agency, that “sold” me to Telecom Italia. I was making about 2000 euro per month, but Telecom Ita

just to be clear, one could mistake them for some (voice) actor reading a book (maybe) but even to my untrained ear they sound fake and artificial. Am i missing something?

I have many fond memories of Flash. It was far from perfect, but it really brought together programming and art, to a level that I don't see today. Around 2005(?) I remember a Flash conference in Turin, Italy where I saw many great int

Can't really make out the tone of the question, but I'll try to answer anyway. If by selling we refer strictly to "exchanged data for money", then no, based on the Senate report there is not direct evidence of that. Base

Tax sites are selling data because there is demand for that data, in this case from Meta (or Facebook/Instagram/Threads/WhatsApp etc). This is not the first time they (Meta et all) were caught with their hands in the cookie j

I got to play with Nova a bit, a couple of thoughts: - the quality of the answers is not better than gpt-3.5/4. Maybe I had too high expectations, but I didn't notice any improvements over the default answers from the "open&q

Really nice! I like the simplicity and resume building UI/UX. Focusing on the ATS part, I'm building rolematch.me to allow candidates to better align their resumes with a specific job ad.

I went ahead and installed it in a proxmox container, was fairly easy on x64 (arm support would be nice). One suggestion: it would be nice to have a short-term memory - a la ChatGPT. With the token limit at 4-8k for GPT-4, it would be nice

The course is not free. To finish the course and get the completion badge, one must also do the labs, which cost money. Also, given it's coming from Google, one also pays with "data".

In general, the quality of the replies seems to have been affected. More specifically: - the context window seems to have been reduced: I only have access to the 4k model, but even when the prompts and replies are well under this limit, the

I'd like to offer a different perspective: let reddit kill 3rd party apps. reddit has only gotten worse in the past years and even if we manage to somehow "coerce" them into supporting 3rd party apps, the core issues will rem

I'll second this. I would like to give this a try (been job hunting for the past 6 months), but I'm also a bit paranoid in sharing a lot of data, especially with a service that has no privacy policy.

This actually hits very close. As the developer - disclosure - of AKME, an iOS app that uses the OpenAI API, in a fairly private manner, I also noticed the myriad of apps that use misleading descriptions (as in, advertising the use of GPT-4
