What would actually be interesting is if you told us what those mistakes were, instead of just vagueposting.
> simple, easy and elegant like css
CSS is neither of these.
It's ironic how the blandest, most predictable opinion piece is about how AI produces medicore content.
There are dozens of us! Dozens!
I'm probably from a similar culture and friendship here means a very close personal relationship similar to, or in some cases even stronger than, familial relationships. I feel that the original post's concept of friendship is very shallow compared to that. Friendship in my culture transcends such categorization.
What does commenting 3 asterisks mean? I’ve been noticing this more and more recently
What I don’t understand is why is an API needed to create embeddings. Isn’t this something that could be done locally?
I can confirm that programming.dev is a very nice instance.
I hope that the threadiverse will consolidate into a bunch of themed instances instead of the current state of having 200 different Reddit clones.
This sounds almost psychopathic or maybe it is just ragebait trolling.
I switched to Linux 4 years ago because of these dark patterns. No regrets.
Okay, you can’t just leave us hanging and not tell us what exactly you have done
Join the programming.dev instance instead. It’s really nice and starting to become an active community.
I've been using it for a couple of days but it feels much more limited than GPT-4-based ChatGPT. If I ask ChatGPT to do the same task it always comes up with a much better solution. Has anyone else experienced the same?
Wow, I could only watch the first 15 minutes now but it’s already fascinating! Thanks for the recommendation.
Thanks, I’ll try it! (I’m in Hungary)
“Bard isn’t currently supported in your country. Stay tuned!”
Yes. Before the update, when its avatar was still black, it solved pretty complex coding problems effortlessly and gave very nuanced, thoughtful answers to non-programming questions. Now it struggles with just changing two lines in a 10-line block of CSS and printing this modified 10-line block again. Some lines are missing, others are completely different for no reason. I'm sure scaling the model is hard, but they lobotomized it in the process.
The original GPT-4 felt like magic to me, I had this sense of awe while interacting with it. Now it is just a dumb stochastic parrot.
Subscribe, try GPT-4 and never look back.
What are those better distros and why are they better?
How could Taiwan - a country the US doesn’t recognize - join NATO?
I bought a refurbished Fujitsu Lifebook a month ago after 7 years of using various Dells and Macbooks. The experience (on Linux) has been surprisingly smooth. Everything just works, zero overheating. The machine has thinkpad-like build quality but it looks nicer.
Agreed. Each stamp print is a small reward and seeing more and more of the beautifully designed prints appear in your booklet feels great. I started hiking the trail in 2019 with my dog - we both have separate collection booklets - and I hope when we finally complete the trail, he too can get his own badge.

from the ask-hn dept.
10 years ago I could spend a weekend binge reading Joel on Software, Steve Yegge, Coding Horror, Peter Norvig's or ESR's articles. I learned a lot from their writing.I look back at those days as the golden age of programmer writing. Super smart people who wrote very well.Nowadays I feel like there is simply no new content that compares to the quality of these blogs/web sites. Why is this so? Or...
Atheism does not mean the lack of morality. I find it rather sad that some people cannot imagine morality without a higher authority.
