    The API lets you directly choose the model you want. Automatic thinking is a ChatGPT feature since ChatGPT has always been a “GPT wrapper” in that sense.

    The list of models to be retired is about ChatGPT. Those models are still in the API.

    I don't think the dialog as described in the article is accurate and I can't find a screenshot of Windows NT that says "Windows has been shut down." The only screenshots I can find…

    In my case, I wanted to edit some HDR environment maps. They are a 360deg image of the environment used for 3D work. They need to be floating-point so that arbitrary brightnesses c…

    Totally, and Racket is cool because you can see it as a framework for creating languages. But Racket is built on top of Chez Scheme so you can also use that directly if you just wa…

    This is interesting... when I visited recently I realized that Suica on Apple Wallet was more convenient than the physical card. The top reason is that you can use Apple Pay to top…

    In my past life I built and sold dispatch software for microtransit / on-demand rides. (UberPool as a service, more or less.) What this article doesn’t say: * Many, many cities hav…

    It's only a "failure" if you look at your net worth, right? It sounds like you have the experience, knowledge, and even resume of someone much older than 28. If you had instead spe…

    We may not have forgotten that Heroku exists, but we may have forgotten that Heroku was an IDE. At least, I wasn't aware of it. Are there old screenshots of what it looked like?

    I built a no-code web-app creator that also has a concept of blocks and I can relate to this. Each paragraph is a different block, and I still haven't quite figured out the best wa…

    When you write types in Python, the interpretation of your type annotations are up to the type checker. Your annotations that you write for e.g. Pyre may not type check in mypy. Th…

    On a split keyboard with two halves, you can independently move the two halves around. This is great if you don't like the Microsoft-designed angle or want to change the positionin…
