Is your unspoken claim that Japan bought Russian gas because Australia just suddenly refused to sell gas anymore?

It's not that hard to do, but I think this is lowballing. If you want a talented programmer to do something for you, you should be willing to pay them $150/hr. And I'm assuming this is more than an hour of work.

It seems like a good way to mitigate these attacks is to train a separate "supervisor" AI that watches all conversations for things like content policy violations and prompt injections. The supervisor AI wouldn't be a chat-ba

I recently witnessed a speech in Indonesia for Nyepi, the Balinese New Year. I was trying to use Google Translate's live conversation feature to get an idea of what was being said. I still couldn't make out much more than "he

No, it frees you up to spend your energy on thinking about what the right thing to build is. If your head is buried in code all the time, that's when you can't stop and look at the bigger picture and ask if you're building th

Very cool idea! I'm excited to try it. I'm a little bit worried about the reliability of interfacing with a website via the DOM. I trust GPT-4 enough, but I could see a situation where the correct fields to fill in are ambiguous i

This is actually an interesting idea. I'm not sure about the pricing, but I might actually try something like this for a project I'm working on. Could blow the socks off of my CEO.

I could use it to fill out timesheets in Zoho, find a list of Facebook events that I'm actually interested in, and download forms from my bank. These are tasks I do often that the UIs make far more difficult than they need to be.

Hahah that's not a bad idea. Maybe you could be more subtle, for the rare cases that a human is actually reading your post. Thanks for your kind and helpful response.

I don't think there's a lot of value in putting limits on individuals. That's not an effective way to change the problem at scale. But FWIW, the average American can an annual carbon footprint of 16-17 metric tons of CO2. Her

That's not bad. And I'm assuming from the fact that it's a Nissan Leaf that you're in the US. I looked into buying a Leaf at one point, but I was afraid that the battery of a used Leaf would give out.

It varies. A lot of airlines offer carbon offsets directly as an option when you buy your ticket. Also, sometimes I buy mine in bulk and not per-flight. Here's a good overview of buying carbon offsets for flights: https://th

Some context for Americans as a dual US/EU citizen: for many people, especially near cities, electric cars are already far more practical in the EU than gas cars. And they're far cheaper and more available than they are in the US.

Because the rewards points can only be redeemed for flights that are priced 3x as much as the kiwi flights. I've done the math many times, and it never comes out ahead. Just go for the flights with the cheapest price.
