The fish in the basket is a nice touch

There's a clip from his video in the post :)
You nailed why Apple chose to let people uninstall - that would be crazy if you could soft brick your phone.
You can just uninstall the app
Re:Cursor 1.0 on Thursday June 05, 2025 @11:34PM (#44197614)
I'm sure it is but cursor plus API usage is out of reach for my hobbyist usage
Re:Cursor 1.0 on Wednesday June 04, 2025 @11:16PM (#44188029)
I'm surprised nobody is mentioning how cheap copilot pro is. $20 and you get all you can eat inference without using your own api key for the models on vs code agent mode.

Exactly. If you choose the approach with no tech debt but takes twice as long, how are you going to hide that from your manager?

how come?
Re:How to Get ChatGPT to Stop Apologizing? on Tuesday August 01, 2023 @03:13AM (#36953264)
I was thinking it's an example in the system prompt. "Here's how you would behave when corrected" or similar

This exists. https://bigfreeze.com/projects - They have one at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle: https://podcam.net/pacsci/
Re:LSD: Not Even Once. Really. on Sunday April 23, 2023 @04:25PM (#35680194)
Or they took something that was presented as LSD but was actually something else. This sounds like the kind of nerve damage people get from taking dangerous doses of MDMA. Not saying it's MDMA specifically but it could have been something neurotoxic.
Check out 6b6t if you haven't already. It's an anarchy server that runs on multipaper, which is a distributed Minecraft server. The owner claims it can support 1000 simultaneous players.
I think capitalism might take care of this. Let's say we have tools that make devs 10x more productive. A company could lay off 90% of their engineers and produce as much as they did before generative AI. What if their competitor decides they're going to retain all of their engineers and produce 10x more than they did before? That's going to force everyone to staff up to be able to keep up with the 10x company.

Any benchmarks?

Looks like you got the hug of death

Re:Calculators Now Emulated at Internet Archive on Sunday January 29, 2023 @05:10AM (#34566671)
I had one too. I guess I did math on it, but I remember much more clearly downloading games to it via the graph link cable. I spent hours playing Tetris in math class.
Re:Ask HN: What software was used to make 90s cutscenes? on Monday January 09, 2023 @04:21AM (#34308399)
I couldn't figure it out either, coming from lightwave.
Not bad for a net that's not even specifically trained to code.
Re:Building a Virtual Machine Inside ChatGPT on Saturday December 03, 2022 @08:01PM (#33849359)
Did you try running the prompt multiple times? Sometimes it misses a few times but then nails it.
Re:The Link Between August Birthdays and ADHD (2018) on Wednesday October 19, 2022 @11:26PM (#33270488)
Really inspiring story. Why did you pursue school so late in your career? Just to prove to yourself that you could do it?
Re:Run your own DALL-E-like image generator on Monday August 08, 2022 @02:48PM (#32389386)
I recently went through this and conda handled the python deps pretty well, but the nvidia cuda stuff was a massive pain to get the right things installed. I think it’s safe to blame nvidia.
Re:What I don’t like about working at a remote job on Saturday July 23, 2022 @01:21AM (#32200627)
Took me about 5 years to build good work from home habits.
I can't overstate how much this extension has benefitted my work life. It's an absolute game changer.
Re:To Ruby from Python on Saturday July 16, 2022 @05:02AM (#32116335)
Any examples? I always found it easy to grok but I'm not at a very high level so I'm curious where it gets hairy.
Gigabit is so clutch, it's worth it for the satisfaction of being able to download a 30 gig game in less time than it takes to go to the bathroom.
Re:A prompt engineering guide for DALLE-2 on Thursday July 14, 2022 @03:29AM (#32093053)
Idk, it's pretty damn good at a lot of things, still. It's definitely very useful. Mega, at least. Mini is ok.
Re:BMW introduces new heated seat subscription in UK on Thursday July 14, 2022 @03:26AM (#32093031)
Is it rent seeking when people have a choice? There are plenty of car brands that don't do this garbage.
Re:The ‘E-Pimps’ of OnlyFans on Wednesday July 06, 2022 @04:12AM (#31998116)
If you made GPT-3 respond to onlyfans DMs you would have some hilarious results.
Maybe a GAN could be used to bridge the gap. A little creepy but it's definitely good enough to trick my brain. https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2020/10/05/gan-video-conferenc...
I'm pretty salty about my Oculus Go experience. I only found a tiny handful of good games on the platform, then it died.
