    Why don't you read the code? The amount of people commenting on this, if there was something to hide they'd have probably caught it already and if not surely by next week.

    And the majority of science sit in empty libraries with maybe a single citation by a postdoc trying to write enough papers to get the next postdoc...

    Can it really be called the wrong tool when so many huge businesses and essentially the entire globe are powered by it? It’s certainly worked imo

    I'm not saying Math is useless, I'm saying there must be tiers for topics in how useful they are such that someone can say "Hey, that's pointless!" and one can't follow with "There…

    Farming provides food. Predicting the probability of water spontaneously combusting, while interesting, provides much less food.

    Why not use “French” in a tweet and see if it’s flagged too?

    Ah I apologize for the presumption, I just have seen so many Cryptobros going all in on ChatGPT and it sort of grinds my gears - I'm worried there will be all sorts of highly marke…

    Agreed that may be the case but all OpenAI needs to do is release a nice UI for GPT and they've suddenly pushed these SaaS out of the market. Why fund miners over the companies mak…

    I wonder if "prompt engineering" will be replaced by improvements to LLMs within the next couple years and this is just a bad DX step gap along the journey

    No I definitely have, it’s just so rare I can’t remember when I last did it. I do remember playing one in a blitz tournament 20 years ago! But if this is the first game they played…

    I can’t remember the last time I played an illegal move tbf, and I’ve played 7 games of chess this morning already to give you an idea of total games played

    You're not wrong. I've worked in prod with all the cool languages (Scala, Haskell, Rust, Go, etc...) but stick to Python/typeScript when I want to be pragmatic.

    Does anyone know if GPT4 creates a new object for each session or had one for all of it? Can these prompts leak?

    That’s cool! I tried to get GPT to build a todo list from react to sql and the docker file but got a little stuck, I’ll try with 4 when I use it next

    I rarely buy stocks or crypto but when there's bad news on banks I buy crypto and when people are crazy negative about something I tend to invest there too. For example when the ai…

    Before the money is actually in the bank but is reliable because SVB partners with the VC firm responsible for leading the round who vouches?

    If you bought when SVB announced problems last week you'd be up 25%

    True but Oslo is a real city, Palo Alto is similar to the suburbs. I'm moving to Stockholm in the summer and much prefer the look of housing out there!

    750 if I remember right! It’s in what I can only describe as a holiday resort looking apartment block, with a dog park, swimming pool, and fire pit area.

    I pay $3k per month for a 1 bed flat which comes out as 20% of my household income - I don’t feel poor out here with a postdoc wife and my own salary that’s not FANG. Life in a nic…

    It's not really any worse than Python or Ruby, but you also get TypeScript which helps
