Right. OP here, FWIW, in my colloquial English (right or wrong:) "Perfect" is, well, perfect; does everything I want and cannot be meaningfully improved. "Perfectly Fine" on the other hand, the key word is "fine". It is "eh. It mostly does the job. I cannot begrudge it too much. I have bigger things to rant about. It's perfectly fine." "Fine" is like "Nice". It's fine. It's nice. Note quite "Good", let alone "Amazing…

So 'fine' is better than 'perfectly fine'? (I’m not a native speaker.)

Perfectly fine means good enough

This made me wonder, are there any public examples of codebases written entirely (or almost entirely, with human curated parts noted) by GPT-4?

Yeah, I made CalendarMapApp in just a few hours having ChatGPT write all the code for me. https://github.com/localjo/CalendarMapApp

Apparently not all of the code.

For people outside the US: use a second apple account with Region set to US. I have used this many times for country specific public transport or delivery apps but same thing works here. You do not lose access to other apps, sync features or subscriptions. Go into the App Store app, not your phone settings, click your profile and scroll all the way down to log out. Then log in with a US account, download the app and…

Isn’t it enough to just switch the region to US, download the app, then switch back?

"This app is not available in your country or region" Seriously? When is this idiotic corporate idea going to die? Internet has no regions. (BTW, I pay for ChatGPT plus)

Google’s Bard is not available in the EU, afaik.

> P.S. Android users, you're next! ChatGPT will be coming to your devices soon. I'm getting a good chuckle out of this. The thought-leaders have been warning us that large language models will put 99% of professionals out of work and will threaten the nature of human existence... and yet today's leading LLM apparently can't be used to generate code for a boilerplate user interface using the Android SDK.

Ridiculous take on multiple fronts, man. -> The thing was released like two months ago, think what LLMs will do in like 10 years. -> They likely want an industrial scale indestructible app for their multi-million $ product, they can take at least three months to build it.

You are pitting your dreams of 10 year in the future against the reality of now. Of course your dreams are winning!

Ridiculous would be for me to take your dreams for granted, and ignore the evident reality that is right in front of me.

you have to cancel your subscriptions, use up all balance and can only do it once every X months

My favourite is that giving in and clicking the “open in app” banners on Reddit etc just take me to the App Store page for Reddit, even though I have the actual app installed already.

Pardon my ignorance but I sort of assumed that was reddit's fault because I can't name a single other site/service I use that does that. I guess that's not the case?

I have the same problem with Youtube links. Doesn't seem like a reddit only issue.

How about being able to edit a copied phone number? Like maybe I want to add a country code? No, the only way to do it is to make a new contact and then edit it? Ok… Or how about search a pdf on my phone? Really? I can’t? Huh… so random…

> Or how about search a pdf on my phone? Open it in iBooks, which also runs ocr on the pdf, and hit the magnifying glass.

I’ll try it, thanks!

We might yet find out whether we agree or disagree :), so let me be more narrow & specific: * Apple is positioning their tight control over the appstore, including high fees to developers and restricted choice to consumers, as providing benefits of a curated & safe experience * Do we feel that dozens of apps overlaying OpenAI ChatGPT, with various degrees of honesty and deception and monetization methods and privacy…

Let’s not pretend that it’s hurting the little developer.

It came out in the Epic trial that 80%+ of App Store revenue comes from in app purchases of play to win games.

The biggest players that aren’t games like Netflix, Spotify and other “reader apps” [sic] have forced you to do subscriptions outside of the app store for years.

Then other apps are physical goods where you don’t have to use in app purchases and they can use Apple Pay (regular credit card processing fees).
