Very clever indeed! I think it's probably something that AI non-power-users will appreciate.
I dreamt about this for a long time. I started a similar endeavor thrice in the past. Congrats for making this a reality.
Congrats on the launch and nice identity. You might want to check Selenium as a source of inspiration
It's funny I had a similar idea but with dashcams, for the automotive industry. You could pay people to install additional cameras to there cars and pay them by the miles driven. I'm sure car manufacturers would love this training data.
"The journey is the reward". Youtube is entertainment, not information. Information is the byproduct of being entertained.
However it's a great idea, go for it!
Open question: if a bartender greets you with a compliment and a wink, and then proceeds to sell you a cocktail, is it a dark pattern?
I’ve been doing body weight exercise for a few months. Doing push ups helped a lot with wrist pain.

I constantly have to refrain GPT3 and 4 because they’re too often using expressions like “it is important” or “it is essential”.I can’t think of a reason for the model to have been tried on texts that contain many occurrences of these expressions.This is why I am wondering if it is a side effect of the attention mechanism built in the transformer algorithm. As the prompt and the output are...

The author misses an important point when he writes "no obligation to give back to anyone!"
I do believe that if you use Copilot and push your reviewed, optimized, open source code on Github, it will eventually be used as training data and consequently become a contribution to the other users of copilot.
With the increase in repository creation, people making a living out of open source and deploying marketing tactics to have their repo surface, visibility of small contributors have plummeted in the past few years. If you're producing good quality code that gets no human traction but that's used as training data, it's maybe progress after all?
It's a great reminder of how well MacOS 9 UI and UX were designed, and how space efficient the whole OS was on screen.
Even the window handle bars were subtly shadowed, the window shadows evolved when they were collapsed. Like Windows 95 at the time, Mac OS 9 was a beautiful work of interaction design.
This is beyond imagination. It's a glimpse of what is going to become the job of programmers in the next 10 years imho.
As a French founder, am I authorized to do a business trip in the US (meet local customers, pitch product features, invite prospects at a restaurant) with a simple ESTA?
> It does not have an ability to independently think and imagine/dream
We neither if we're not supplied with energy. By the way, haven't we tried to replicate an inner dialogue by prompting the AI to recursively converse with itself? This could resemble imagination, don't you think?
> It suffers from catastrophic forgetting under certain internal circumstances (in addition to changing what dataset we trained it on)
I believe that the persistence of previous answers is what currently distinguishes us the most from the "AI". As soon as we're able to make the realtime discussions part of an ever evolving dataset constituting the AI itself, the gap will get thinner and thinner. But even then, are people suffering from Alzheimer sentient? I believe they are. Isn't it comparable with what happens when an AI catastrophically forgets?

I really dig the product and demo. Nevertheless, I feel there are crucial points missing in your landing page:
- Where is the code hosted?
- Where is it executed?
- Are my tasks versioned in a GIT repo?
- How do you manage secrets?
I've got the chance to be one of the interviewed. I really like the way this is going. Their idea for extensions building and distribution is really clever and I appreciate how they've been tackling the developer experience.
If this behavior is to be implemented through request headers, I'd prefer not to mess with Content-Type because it may be needed in the request: you could still want to PREVIEW but ask for a preferred content-type, like text/xml or application/json

With the success of Open Graph, lots and lots of HTTP GET requests are sent every day to process only a few <meta> in the <head> of HTML pages.I believe that this process could be lightened by the adoption of a new HTTP verb. By sending an HTTP PREVIEW /mypage we could leverage caching and write optimized database queries to return a light, serialized response for crawlers and bots.
Fantastic, thank you so much. I'd like to add that while WFH is getting a lot of traction, this is a wonderful time to market for your lib.
This is genius ! Congratulations for the idea and the execution. It's been a while since a tech product amazed me that much.
It's a non-issue for most French people like myself. In France, the Tesla cars are in the luxury price segment. There's no need to incentive the car that only wealthy people can afford.
To be honest and having been there before you, it's not a good idea. You entered a crowded space with a product that do not yield blatant differentiation. Your marketing, brand image and storytelling are the only things that will lead users to your app.
I don't think web developers will elect a newborn CMS, trust that it doesn't fail for the 5 or more years, if you don't convince them your CMS and the company behind it is future proof. And on that matter, your landing page and your documentation matter more than everything else. Invest time and money in it.
It looks really neat! What's your plan on making this project viable in the long run? Do you envisage to monetize hosting, or maybe create a community vs. paid edition?
Hey there, congratulations for the launch. I just wanted to give a quick hint that bothered us a lot. I see in this screen (
https://www.uxtweak.com/statics/overview/rpl-record.png) that you provide a script tag with data attributes. Don't do that! You'll notice that a lot of your potential users are using a tag manager like GoogleTagManager. Those platform rewrite JS on the fly and do not take these attributes into account. Good luck!
I see a great potential for cleaning CRM data with this tool. Nicely done!

I'm thrilled (and a bit nervous) to share with you the beginning of our crowdfunding campain.A few years back, we decided to tackle the surfer's paradox: the ocean is our playground but, as surfers, we keep using plastic surfboards that pollute both the water and our shaper's lungs. That's why we created a biodegradable and sustainable surfboard, with the help of 3D printing and bio-sourced...
Awesome! We need the same for metal music
That's so cool! Needs a bit of CSS polishing but it successfully distracted me for at least 5 minutes...
