That’s a moot question because it will continue to evolve, and while its successor will inevitably dwarf its capabilities, it will be remembered as an early influence and historically significant innovation. If it was frozen in current st

At first, maybe, but then human to human conversation will drift to gated communities with strong verification, and on the wider net it will be like the blogging revolution all over again as people exchange pre-seeded forums for ideas more

From where I’m sitting, ChatGPT in its current nascent state is absolutely changing the world. It’s not only showing what’s possible but also making a powerful and highly disruptive tech available to the masses to hack and extend. Of course

Fair point, but - uno reverse card - maybe it will make tedious exposition so effortless and superfluous that nobody wants to do it anymore. It might do to overlong text what border-radius did to rounded corners, and discourse will trend ba

I am an independent contractor, but my comment was in no way intended as a slight to anybody I work with or have in the past. I have had the pleasure of working with some exceptional people. We may however have different standards for what

It’s a bad take for several reasons. - It’s reductive. The model may be architecturally relatively simple, at least insofar as humans are involved, but the data that was used train it is anything but. Code is data, data is code. The model i

This criticism, like many others, attacks the mechanics of how LLMs think, apparently dismissing the models for not doing so using the same process, faculties, and background life experience as a human. It does not contain any compelling

It’s useful to make a distinction between what is one’s job and where one spends his time - that is, the theory and practice of job titles. Data cleaning is 0% of a Data Scientist’s job despite occupying 90% of their time. My hope is that

I’ve found the criticisms regarding accuracy to be curious, not only for the reason you mention, but also because the apples-to-apples comparison isn’t ChatGPT vs Google so much as it’s ChatGPT vs an expert working on a test in a faraday ca

Web Components aren’t an alternative to React so much as a complementary technology. Yes, you can build UIs without a reactive framework but it will involve compromises in expressivity, code organization, and whatever the Greenspun equivale

I can happily live without TypeScript (ka-chow) but at the same time I don’t see why not.

I think he just means you have to build before deploying and while developing. Even if that build takes fractions of a second and is trivially scaffolded and automated in a modern context, it’s still technically an extra step. There was a t

In black and white terms, sure, it’s still a build process, but I second the recommendation to try Vite - the overhead is minimal and the expressive power build chains enable more than justify the overhead. I say this as someone who still w

Elixer does seem tailor made for this sort of thing, but I’ve never used it so I can only recommend you try [feathersjs]( https://feathersjs.com/ ). Setting up a chat backend with it was fairly straightforward, but your milea

I am dying to know the answer to this. I can’t get over the fact people are paying $8 for downloads of randomized triangles, but then again NFTs are a thing so I shouldn’t be too surprised.

Points 1 and 2 are not how to write, but rather how to use lies and rhetorical trickery to showcase your intellectual plumage and profit from deception. Sometimes, even if it is plain, boring, or obvious, the truth must be told.

I use multiple languages, including Python, and this just reads to me like a hit piece. I won’t take the time to respond point by point, but the author complains about 69 top level functions that “you just have to memorize”? Really? Try lea

Tales of localhost’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. Putting aside how much this rings of “owning nothing and being happy”, I’m going to go out on a limb here and say no, cloud-based development will not replace localhost, although wi

While I do think it’s here to stay, I don’t consider TypeScript to be “the future of JavaScript”. Given the choice, I’d much rather use JavaScript, and that applies to large codebases as well. TypeScript just gets too verbose and adds way t

This is very inspiring, thank you! Having never done it, I know first hand how difficult it can be to get your ideas out the door. It looks like you found the perfect tempo and scope, tiny projects rock.
