    The new model does play very well but when it draws the board it frequently places the moves in incorrect locations (but seemingly still keeps track of the correct ones). But I can…

    I suspect the two major drivers of this are vehicles getting larger over time and smartphones.

    This is great! I used to hate all forms of webdev but ClojureScript actually makes it enjoyable, I really hope it gets more traction.

    Don't forget the account to open shared mailboxes for packages. "Luxor" for me. It actually works so I don't mind much but I hadn't really considered how much extra rent all the ap…

    Yeah I really don't understand why research is still being published that uses GPT3.5 rather than GPT4 or both models. ~500 programming questions is maybe a few bucks on the API?
