    Show HN: Use your flight-sim gear as a Codex Micro

    When I saw the OpenAI Codex video for the (cool-looking) Codex Micro, I looked down at my Virpil CM3 throttle collecting dust. So I just asked Codex desktop to connect it for me-- …

    RE: syntax For casual use, I kinda always liked the whole MATCH/AGAINST syntax for old school Innodb, though obviously things have changed a lot since those days. But it felt less …

    I like the OP's idea and think it actually has some fun you applications. Especially with a little more narrowing of scope. Similar fun concept as the cataclysm library for Python:…

    In AI Studio, it seemed to let me upload pretty much any file and tokenize it without renaming, FWIW

    I really like the spirit! This sort of concept was one of the first things I wanted to explore with a spiritually adjacent project (cataclysm). It's been a bit, so I need to take t…

    Replaced my openers in the spring, and 100% wouldn't have chosen them if there wasn't HA MyQ integration. Such a silly move. I used a local Meross install on my old garage doors, t…

    Don't think so, but there were some guesses on 3.5-turbo-- i.e. training a much smaller model on quality questions/answers from GPT-4. Same tactic worked again and again for other …

    Do you have a link or gist of an example run you tried? I'd be curious to try something similar.

    I've had to move to using Azure OpenAI service during business hours for the API-- much more stable unless the prompts stray into something a little odd and their API censorship bl…

    Ah, really curious if it'll balk at the age old problem or just answer based on the code provided since it does inspect the nearby code to understand context for the generated code…

    Now that it's released, it's time to experiment with what it can do. from cataclysm import doom # App gets the img file from the command line and saves it as a new file at half siz…

    Show HN: cataclysm v0.1 – the final Python module?

    cataclysm is an over-the-top experiment to take more of the human out of coding. Any function you give it, it generates and executes. No need to think about what you need, it'll ma…

    > I don't think GPT-4 will be a big deal in a month Why do you think that? Competition? Can you elaborate?

    Comment #35288218

    Yeah I wrote my own plunkylib (which I don't have great docs for yet) which is more about having the LLM and prompts in (nestable) yaml/txt rather than how so many people hard code…

    You're not wrong, but surely OpenAI can't do everything and maybe they can stay ahead on features long enough to continue to be higher value?

    Here's what we need to be thinking instead of getting defensive or extra-optimistic: If high-end security firms and fairly diligent government agencies were infiltrated, why would …

    Ask HN: Any concern with unknowingly employing/contracting NSA operatives?

    Given the leaks we've seen from Snowden, perhaps these situations aren't tinfoil hat territory anymore. I don't know of any instances of such things, but it probably should be disc…

    Yeah, it's not widely used. I use oh.ms as my personal/geeky tiny URL site.

    I really would love it, especially if they add export mechanisms so I won't lose my data if they ever decide to die. Burned once already, unfortunately.

    No, it's not a good thing beyond perhaps raising awareness of it and maybe temporarily increasing demand for it. The stability it had was a great sign and it was seeing some solid …

    For #2, I'm hoping their big "reboot" on Dec 15 addresses some of this.

    This reminds me of all the people using vanity IPv6 address spaces. Facebook, BBC, Cisco, Department of Commerce, F5, etc... they all use "hexspeak" to put words or initials in the…
