Is there a turn-key POSSE blogging platform where I don't have to do more than pay, and sign in with each platform to start syndicating my posts? While I love the idea, I've always found implementing all of the integrations to be

I don't mean equal in the strict programming sense. Clearly men and women are very different. I mean equally balanced, yin and yang.

Yes, old cultural expressions of masculinity have outlived their usefulness and become toxic in modern environments. One example, we no longer need to fight off predators, so what used to be valued as protective bravado now gets expressed a

There's no rule saying you need to hire new grads. I'd even suggest that if you care about hiring "the best engineers", hiring new grads is just idiotic.

I hope you're not hiring UI developers. If so, this is the completely wrong criteria to evaluate them on.

I actually love that you're paying attention to the browser default language. So often, websites set their language based on IP and I'm left browsing a site in a language I don't understand. On the other hand, in this case it

Thanks. I was able to get in this morning. The usage limit of only 20 queries seems pretty low. That's barely enough for me to try this out and see what it can do. It also seems that following some websites is difficult. For example, I

I've noticed if I give chat GPT an algorithm it gives me consistent results when it shows it's work but if I ask it not to show it's work and just give me the answer. It consistently gives me incorrect answers even when I ask

I'm sorry, but "don't do the same thing twice and expect different results" is not science at all, and might even be described as anti-science.

This is a good start, but I think it expects to be used in a little bit too structured of a way. One of the benefits of GPT is that you can be a bit loose with the format. Rather than setting up my tools to properly pipe errors into this,

I wonder how long this system will exist before ML gets good enough that it just makes more sense to send illegible mail back to the sender and say, "sorry, whatever you wrote is not a valid address, try again".

I'm really confused what the USP is here. The URL says "text browser", but the screenshot looks like "Chrome fork" and there's no description of the goals of the project, just a long, noisy changelog.

They won't. They'll become networks full of noise. To be fair, they already have. The ratio of noise to non-noise is already like 10:1. The real social communication has already moved off of these feed-based apps. It's taking

The README and code examples are quite dense. To be honest, I'd rather think about my own code than try to figure out how to write Promptr commands to get GPT to do it for me. Is there any way you can simplify the syntax, or at least c
