interesting, is this an interface on top of BunnyCDN? Would they be cheaper than Cloudflare image CDN?

I never even thought about that... I don't know why I do that :P

Automattic apparently has 1800 employees (LOL). Surprised they don't have a board, HR, comms, and other teams? Also I realized "Matt" is front and center in Automattic so that says a lot

Grammarly thinks all writing should be bland, and that everyone needs to be a robot. Terrible product.

I like the New Yorker's (and the author's) writing style! I'm just surprised they went with "AI commentator" as almost a snide remark, which makes you think some AI hallucinated that part. But again, AI doesn't

> "WP Engine can hardly say the same" So much of Automattic's corpospeak drips with spite. Makes me understand why other companies are so "bland" — to protect themselves

The link works for me, thanks! > When ChatGPT came out, many people deemed it a perfect plagiarism tool. “AI seems almost built for cheating,” Ethan Mollick, an A.I. commentator, wrote in his book It's ironic that this article compl

Aw thanks! I at least have the benefit of being a fluent writer. For lots of East Asian researchers it's really embarrassing for them to send an email riddled with typos, so they spend a LOT of time making their emails nice. I like tha

right so it probably events out to $4-5M for a feature like this? Still surprisingly to me how expensive features like this are to build

The most surprising part of this announcement was the team who worked on this — more people worked on and contributed to this than many startups. There are 16 people working on this project!! If each was paid $300k (that's a minimum...

This means you're a great writer — congrats! I'm a terrible writer, and this kind of crutch is really useful. Other people in our lab (from China, Korea, etc.) also find this kind of thing useful for working / communicating q

I've done a ton of refactoring, from Python to Node / Deno, and it's surprisingly good — but not perfect. Having it create a testing suite definitely helps. But it makes fewer mistakes than I would normally make... it's

Looks like this beta is single file, like a chat instance. They just added Github integration for enterprise, so that's probably on the horizon

so cool! If you connect to a Cartesia text to speech news anchor voice, you could remake the news...

FYI in JS if you really need an immutable object, check out the immer library. it's pretty awesome

oh yeah definitely a problem with the account managers! I just try to make it easier on them...

But all the other non-AI slop that Medium put up over the years were fine with him?

ok so a long time ago I used "real-looking examples" in a bunch of client prototypes (for a big widely known company's web store) and the account managers couldn't tell whether these were items new that had been released

is this an easier to do the "store parquet on s3 > stream to duckdb" pattern that's popping up more and more?

huh so are any languages actually dead? ChatGPT mentions FORTRAN, ALGOL, or Pascal... which I don't think are dead at all. Ada I've never heard of, so maybe that one's dead? If they're able to write WebAssembly compilers

this doesn't prevent you from reading the books though?

isn't that basically Blinkist

oh man I have some nightmares from having to do that. The biggest difference is that it doesn't take a week for revisions (or having to have a late/early call)

this thing is pricey lol > Audio input is priced at $100 per 1M tokens and output is $200 per 1M tokens. but for audio i guess its harder to run up that much $$

Keep telling other devs to stop using AI for code!!! I don't want to lose my edge lol

If the UK became less stable, maybe someone like Germany could take custody and seize the collection, for UK's own good?

wow could you please share more of this work? I've been wondering how to make a diff tool / simple text editor for academic writing

I thought it's b/c of RLHF? I think the earliest GPT-3 wasn't too keen on harmony, but I might be mis-remembering

by yawnxyz 2y ago
"raw dogging" non-RLHF'd language models (and getting good and unique output) is going to be a rare and sought-after skill soon. It's going to be a new art form someone should write a story about that!

Reminder that these people are only caught because they photoshopped Western blots. Even more widespread is when PIs just throw out data that don't agree with their hypothesis, and make you do it again until the numbers start making s
