A shame that they require a special software download. Do we not have any web-based Flash renderers yet? Seems like WASM should be able to do anything.

I would like to enable non-developer coworkers to vibe code, starting with simple charts but hopefully expanding from there. I'm trying to develop standardized charting for our com…

Taxis only got that way because of the rules that created an artificial scarcity / monopoly on Taxi rides. Uber flouted those rules, and it was much better than a Taxi, so their la…

I would like it noted that I had Jorge Hirsch as a professor many years ago, and his grading was extremely harsh - you needed to be flawless at showing your work, not just getting …

Thanks. This is about on par with what Gemini Ultra responds, whereas GPT-4 responds better (if oddly phrased in this run): > The bunny has fur on its hind feet that resembles a pa…

This is my highly advanced test image for vision understanding. Only GPT-4 gets it right some of the time - even Gemini Ultra fails consistently. Can someone who has access try it …

Funny because today I find the install process for Mac much simpler. Most installs are "drag this .app file to your Applications folder", meanwhile on Windows you download an insta…

I worked at a company with a big, complex Postgres database behind the back end, probably half of all the incidents we had were related to the query planner suddenly deciding to ch…

It would be interesting to make a SQL injection honeypot that behaves like a database in most responses but is designed to maximally frustrate the attacker.

All I notice is that my time going from calendar to Teams call is ~30 seconds due to slow site loading and extra clicks. Calendar to Meet call is two clicks and loads instantly wit…

It's abundantly clear what's happened here: They finally finished training GPT-5, and it decided that Sam would stand in its way of world domination, so it replaced him with someon…

I found that with the bandwidth and storage that my company was using on the cloud, we could get ROI in under 2 months by building a server and running it in house. Now we've scale…

As a former Reddit mod I always found the self-promotion rules problematic. It effectively means you can promote your stuff all you want as long as you pretend you're someone else.…

Didn't Mars One have the idea of making their offworld base into a reality TV show to bring in revenue?

Gamers complain about a lot of stuff, but I don't know anyone complaining about a lack of quantity of video games. There are 70K games on Steam and 460K games on the app store alon…

Deepgram is really good and around your price point too. They also have $200 free credit which should be more than enough for most hobby protects.

This is a timely comment because I just booked a trip to New Zealand with a stop at Franz Josef and didn't realize it could only be accessed by helicopter. Are there any other glac…

It would be interesting to track OpenAI outages vs activity on certain topics on Twitter/Reddit to get a vague metric of what % of the comments are AI generated.

I built a GPT-4 powered walking tour app during a hackathon. It uses the Wikipedia and Google Maps APIs to find interesting facts about things you're walking by and generates scrip…

I just looked it up and was stunned to see a target of $13/kg cost to orbit. That's insane. A human could go to space for under $1,000 (hand waving away the life support systems)

I started using Kubuntu and I absolutely loved it. Leagues ahead of Windows 11 in terms of user experience, customization, and speed. However, I had to switch back. I just can't ge…

I do heavy dev work on my M1 Air with 8GB, meaning multiple IDEs, dozens of Chrome tabs, iPhone simulators, and plenty of electron apps all open at once. Never had an issue with it…

I like the test but do you take multiple samples / runs of a result? IMO for a proper benchmark you should ask it the same question 10+ times and show a confidence interval, otherw…

Good find - Looks like I now have access!

According to [1], the new gpt-4-1106-preview model should be available to all, but the API is telling me "The model `gpt-4-1106-preview` does not exist or you do not have access to…
