Beats it for sure, humans are by far the most complex machines, a true marvel of the world. By comparisons, humans make phones look like simple toys.

This feels like the weirdest complaint to me. Just tell it to shorten its response. Literally saying "one sentence response" solves most of this problem.

I'm in a similar camp, I dislike how often third-party package updates get pushed out, especially given the lack of serious inspection. The reality is that each update is its own p…

Road to hell is paved with a lot of 'shoulds' reality is a very different place filled with piles of trash and half baked ideas.

Yep, the 'unit' is size in which one chooses to use. The exact same thing happens when trying to discuss micro services v monolith. Really it all comes down to agreeing to what ter…

I have a very small utility library that receives a few downloads every couple of weeks that I just spent a few hours upgrading today. It solved a problem I had, but it's a very sm…

How does one know what they want until they see it or imagine it? When you can't imagine, you're stuck with searching, searching that comes in many forms, such as scanning catalogs…

Yet, here you are ;)

I've been sharpening my axe by working on a few different projects in the shape of of an online shop[0][1]. Products are a bit of a mishmash as a result of the different projects -…

> Medium used to have an aura of carrying more reputational weight than a personal blog did. At least within the realm of technical discussion, I'll be continuing to view it as a m…

> No pilot has ever inspected let alone installed a door plug. Guess we run in different circles!

woah woah woah, let's be careful about these cowboys now - We NEED that bureaucracy in place for reasons!

I did just this a few days ago, it's incredible how many people will come up and ask to pet your dog. Some will keep moving quickly, others will talk about their own animals, and s…

Yupp, it can! I've been able to get it to do simple examples. I was able to get it to print out a 'sum of digits' style function. I was then purposefully placed a silly bug in it b…

Near future, that seems right, further out I am guessing GPT-4 could enable the level to a couple years of real-world skill instead of two semesters. With the pipeline as such: bus…

Completely agree with this sentiment, and the general idea that this is a pretty monumental moment in time. In a couple of hours of work, I've been able to prompt for something lik…

I say this as someone who has been heavily using the command line for the last decade, even if you "know" how to use a CLI decently well, go read this if you haven't. From only a c…

Molecular Biology of the Cell got me extremely excited about genetics and bioinformatics, highly, highly recommend this book to any software person I meet who is interested in biol…

I guess I am in the minority because I don't run an AC unit in my bedroom office here in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The humidity can get a little miserable during the height of the day, …

Honest question, if I have PostgreSQL containerized in docker such that it's trivially easy to spin up a new database, what then is the use-case for SQLite? I frequently hear peopl…

My personal hunch is that this will end up leading to a situation in which presenters do a cryptographic handshake that works to verify and prove authenticity. This isn't a new ide…

This is, in part, what I'm trying to point out, it's an obvious typo given the context, and something that you or I would be able to pick up on, yet it completely breaks (it spit o…

While neat, and no doubt impressive, it still utterly fails on prompts that should be completely reasonable to any sane human being/artist. Take something like "A cat dancing atop …

The web, and much of programming really, feels so far behind the curve of what's possible as a programmer. Take a dive into shader design in something like unreal engine 5, it soun…
