> but the fact is that it didn't offer these options, and instead it offered the correct one

...because you gave it a "correct" prompt; or in other words, you gave it a prompt that ChatGPT can respond "successfully" to. But if you keep trying, you will surely find yourself with "failed" responses. And ChatGPT has no way of knowing the difference. That's my point.

> Is the other "completely valid and possible output" you provided actually likely?

We're splitting hairs here. I didn't go and test a bunch of prompts to find an example failure. You are welcome to do that if you want. It's not very hard, especially when you start adding variables. This is well-known behavior that ChatGPT itself warns its users about.

> > ChatGPT cannot do anything at all without making a guess, because "guess" is everything that ChatGPT is

> Is this different to what humans do?

Yes!

We don't just spit out the first thing that comes to mind, unless that's the task we are intending to do - and anyone who has played music can tell you just how difficult that task is.

Most of the time, we conceptualize. We comprehend the meaning of language - sure, it takes some guesswork along the way, but that's not the main event - then we construct a new idea, then we express it.

We don't just want accurate answers. We want conceptualization. That's the feature we are all dreaming about with Natural Language Processors. If we can teach a computer to conceptualize language, then we can get it to interface with any arbitrary human knowledge!

But ChatGPT doesn't interface. It parrots; and that's an insult to the birds themselves - unlike ChatGPT, they have an intelligence of their own.

The only way ChatGPT could give you a valid response about any arbitrary concept is to write every thing from every angle about every concept ever, and feed it all to ChatGPT as training data. That's exactly the work we want to avoid!

It's for people stuck in traffic on a congested highway.
Will you settle for ecstatic metaphysics?

Nothing contains all things. It is more precious than gold, without beginning and end, more joyous than the perception of bountiful light, more noble than the blood of kings, comparable to the heavens, higher than the stars, more powerful than a stroke of lightening, perfect and blessed in every way. - Otto von Guericke
Highways during rush hour in many cities have traffic that moves very slowly for many miles/hours. This L3 is perfect for those situations where people are reading books during the stop and go.
I’ve for some reason started reading the headline “the state of X” as a sort of world-weary “the absolute state of X.”
> delegate state changes to escape hatches

Ay.

Can you please explain what this means in simple, 5th grader English?
The T.Rex, just like all the other dinosaurs of that last era when the Chuxhulub asteroid impact, wasn't very smart: it obviously was too short-sighted to bother developing a decent space program to deal with asteroid impacts.

Millions of years later, the dominant species of this planet is just as short-sighted and stupid, if not more so, since we know about the T.Rex's demise by asteroid impact.
Umm that's not how mergers and takeovers work. He bought Twitter on a bully offer, half of which was paid with Tesla stock. If anything, this is the best way to convert overhyped stock into real value.
So you're adding Bootstrap and jQuery and Popper onto Rails, just to get a modal. What happens when that modal performs an action? If it mutates data, does it require a full page refresh to do so, causing the user to lose their context? Or does it do so without a refresh, but does that mean you've now got multiple frontend and backend ways of saving and loading data in the app? How do you maintain data consistency on the rest of the page after the mutation?
So basically, one can blame the entirety of the political class for how dire the situation in Lebanon is, but more so than others is a tiny schmuck that goes by the name of Gebran Bassil.

> But let's say this is just legalese. Does it seem wise to let your core product be sold under contractual terms defined by your direct business competitor, which by their own admission has no interest in "funding the competition"? (they've been quoted saying this).

I think it's probably fine. Like, if WotC is willing to sell their product on these terms, it's probably safe for me to sell my product on the same terms, especially if we're direct competitors. Obviously there's a risk, but there's a risk in not competing too. Compare price matching.
>I start with the best intentions but quickly get into situations that are far too difficult for me so I spend a lot of time covering up my problems with work for fear of being fired. ADHD plays a big part too.

Things can get very difficult very quick if a company has most of their knowledge stored in people's heads, and the main mode of spreading knowledge is meetings.

Having little documentation is common Having a high meeting culture makes this work for a part of the company, for a while. But even the good listeners at some point aren't sure enough about their knowledge that they would write about it. Making the problem worse.

AD(H)Ders will not be able to process any of this knowledge, because it's all dependent on listening to people. At some point they'll feel ashamed that they are in the project for years now and can't contribute properly.

If you do want to stay in this company, this strategy can work to make your life better:

1) Document everything, for yourself. Since you're ashamed of your lack of knowledge write up in private what you do know, or think you know. Since you keep it private nobody will see if you have something wrong.

2) When you need to something, you can test if this knowledge actually works as you wrote it up, you can refine it.

3) Once refined you can contribute it back to the main knowledge base.

4) If you don't know something, and can't find where it's documented, ask people to show you where it's documented. If it's not it's not a bad thing for a senior engineer to ask where it is documented. This saves face, and improves documentation.

Also: always ask people to write you emails if they want anything from you. Verbal is worthless.
I agree and I think it's potentially huge.

Think of how much money is spent on compute for CI pipelines which are calculating 99% of the same values today that they were yesterday. Under this model they'd only have to compute the parts that changed.

And it's not just saving on compute, very fast test results is a dev force multiplier.
Not OP. I'm starting to think that basic/mid level depth understanding of CORS is one of those canary-like items to judge if someone has a good grasp of web/http technologies. The other one is text encoding. You'd be surprised how many people don't know the difference between unicode and say utf8. It's all "black magic" to them at the end of the day.
Yes Richard Branson does this and I learnt it from one of his videos. You never fire. You move them around. If they are a good person who is honest and hard working, you can find a job for them.
Great! Now, where do I get to see the proof?
>I find it very strange that crypto exchanges don't handle execution, confirmation and settlement in the same way as traditional markets

I'm not sure what he is talking about. On centralized exchangers execution, confirmation, and settlement happen nearly instantly. Unlike with stocks there is no 2 day settlement time.

For decentralized exchanges you can do it in 1 transaction executing both trades atomically. Modern token swaps will look for the optimal series of trades to make from available DEXs to give you the best rate. It can automatically check if it's better to go straight from USDT to USDC or if it's better to swap to bitcoin first. Sometimes it makes sense to split it up so some of it is direct swap and the other part of it uses an extra leg to get a better deal.
That might be less than I’ve ever (~10yoe) gotten without a title bump… ouch.
So they'll correlate and image the signals instead of recording all the inputs of all the antennas to storage. That's a reasonable way to pare down the data storage requirements.

It is amazing to me that we've gone from just barely having A/D converters fast enough to handle flight control on Apollo to this level of networking/DSP in my lifetime.
Probably just abort it while it's talking (it generates texts word by word).
IDK if dude is smarter than you are, but he's a domain expert. He knows enough about the subject that it would likely take you something in the range of a decade of dedicated time, research, engagement, and experience to reach an equivalence. You're probably quite capable of this, if you decide to go down this path.

If you don't want to go down this path, though, know that it probably will just take that breadth of experience to develop the understanding and intuition necessary to be able to say and explain things on the subject with confidence.

You should believe it because you trust people like the one in the video when they tell you it's a good idea to clean your wounds to prevent infection. You vaguely understand this has something to do with germs, but you (probably) don't know all about the various actual diseases that cause open wound infections, their outcomes, their treatments, the history of research behind it, etc. It's an entire field of medicine, actually. Luckily for you, a lot of the important stuff can be condensed into a single important general-action for the populations: clean your wound with soap and water, then, cover it with a bandage.

So why do you trust domain experts when they tell you about first aid, and not what they tell you about hugely more complex subjects, such as vaccinations and drug trials?

Why the sudden skepticism now? During a pandemic, of all times? If this was a movie, the climax / resolution would be the development of a vaccine - thank god, the experts delivered us from this terror. What were you expecting instead? 10 years of lockdown while we wait for things to shake out?
With a good boss, the 1:1 is a time to catch up with someone who is playing a different role in helping achieve the team's goals.

With a bad boss, the 1:1 is a regular compulsory reminder of who is the boss, and gives the boss something to do.
This is a weird mindset. If I wanted to “just ship” something, why would I try to relearn technologies I haven’t used in almost ten years over ones I know well today?
Once ChatGPT starts generating a response to your prompt, it might take seconds until it finishes. You could not stop it. Now you‘ll be able to.
You can cause an accident any time you want by diving in front of faster traffic and braking. You will start from a slower speed and have equivalent deceleration.
When you enter a query ChatGPT will generate a response that
slowly scrolls down the screen. I presume they mean to stop that.
> You can't build a modal with Rails.

I must've dreamed up the dozens of times I did.

Unless you mean you still need JS to build the modal, which is true but I doubt GP was implying that you shouldn't use JS whatsoever. You don't need a SPA to build a modal.
It probably won't happen but what I'd really like to see is for browsers to be a bit more "batteries included" when it comes to UI so devs feel it less necessary to build leaning towers of JS. In fact I think it should be a bigger priority than a lot of the things that've been focal points in the web standards space recently… it feels silly that one needs to pull in a third party lib or roll your own for something as basic as a sortable table.
You can post data to API endpoints with vanilla JS fairly easily now. There are a lot of simplifying cases where there's no complexity to state management - like when the data flow is one-way.

ChatGPT Release Notes (Jan 9, 2021)

We are excited to announce the following updates to ChatGPT:

Model improvements: We have made several key improvements to the underlying ChatGPT model that will result in better performance across a wide range of topics. Specifically, we have fine-tuned the model to improve its factuality, ensuring that it provides more accurate and reliable responses to user queries.

Stop generating: In response to user feedback, we have implemented a new feature that allows users to stop generating ChatGPT's response at any time.

ChatGPT Release Notes (Dec 15, 2021)

We are excited to announce the following updates to ChatGPT:

General performance: Among other improvements, users will notice that ChatGPT is now less likely to refuse to answer questions.
Conversation history: We have introduced conversation history functionality, allowing users to view past conversations, rename saved conversations, and delete conversations they no longer wish to keep. This feature is being gradually rolled out to all users.
Daily limit: To ensure a high-quality experience for all ChatGPT users, we are experimenting with a daily message cap. Users included in this experiment will be presented with an option to extend their access by providing feedback to ChatGPT.
Updated version: Users can confirm they are using the updated version of ChatGPT by looking for "ChatGPT Dec 15 Version" at the bottom of the screen.
We hope you enjoy these new updates and welcome your feedback and suggestions for future improvements.
> This isn't gravitational repulsion. It's why the universe is ~13.8 billion years old but we can see the light of objects that we now estimate to be >40 billion light years away. Space itself has expanded. It's not gravitational repulsion.

To add:

Masses repelling and space expanding would have the same effect on the observable universe boundary: linear models break down.

However, light redshifting, where more distant objects are more redshifted, fits with expansion. That cannot be explained by gravity. (Whether it's expansion or some other mechanism is still unknown, AFAIU.)
SPA-like complexity sneaks up on you. You start with clear stages to user interaction that might as well be separate URLs, then you need to add more connections, then you have to add pop-out panels and things that can be open or closed in various combinations, and by the end you have manually re-implemented what most frameworks do.

If you know in advance that you will never have complicated combinations of states, then sure, go ahead and use alpine (vanilla DOM element creation makes very unreadable code) or if you won't even need to create elements don't use anything... but the situations where you really know your application won't evolve that way are very rare next to the situations where you merely don't yet know that it will.
As a layman trying to understand all this, doesn't the latest BDO report on their transparency page https://tether.to/en/transparency/#reports indicate ~40 billion usb to be in US treasury bills? That sounds pretty safe/OK to me, or what am missing? Do you accuse BDO of issuing bullshit reports?
That's worthy of a chuckle!
"the library"?

Igraph and graph tool might have something to retort to that. Up until this update, they were far far faster too (and still likely are if you ignore the ability in this update to specify different backends)
> Secondly, Japan must give its permission for the United States to launch counterattacks from its bases on Japanese territory.

This doesn't seem like it's a certainty. Why would Japan essentially sacrifice itself for US imperialism?
Examples of why this is bad:

* http://example.com/settings/transferownership?to=efreak
* http://example.com/settings/deleteaccount?confirm=true
* http://example.com/sendmoney?to=efreak&amount=10000

Might need a redirect. Do previews follow redirects? Does your poorly-written chat app filter urls by protocol, or does it just look for a token with '://'? A good app will allow me to link to things like steam://connect/IP so I can invite you to a game.

* tel:9005555555 (call a phone number. Fortunately, this requires confirmation these days, but what if you're on desktop or the app that does texting can directly make calls without invoking the dialer?)
* steam://exitsteam (steam will exit if it's running)
Unless you are seriously actively avoiding it I would be highly skeptical your average person actually avoids seed oil in their everyday eating because it’s in almost everything packaged and used at almost all restaurants/take out places.

And olive oil is an unsaturated fat. It has more monounsaturated fats than seed oils but still contains polyunsaturated fats. You’d really need to stick to only butter and tallow to really maintain a low Pufa diet, as well as avoid high Pufa foods like fish and fish oils.

The idea is your stored fat should be primarily saturated fats that are stable when exposed to heat and oxygen.
My impression is that a lot of it goes to GCP. Maybe YouTube getting a push in whatever initiative prompts them to overpay for NFL Sunday Ticket. I'd love to see a leaked doc from some mega cap tech outlining headcount per segment. I don't get it either.
The crash - yes, but if you indeed did it for no reason you will get fined for creating dangerous road condition.
Even worse: high velocity work distractions, Teams, Slack, etc.
> If Gates were running the company, he would have acquired half the auto industry by now.

I love this. I haven’t heard it put this way before. I’m tempted to agree with you. Gates was one of the most aggressive, cutthroat, successful empire builders of this century.

According to Eric Weinstein, the breeding of lab animals specifically for use in testing drugs resulted in non-typical genetics, which invalidates most of the testing they were used in anyway.

Wild mice have different genetics than those fed mouse chow for generations, and bred for economic production.
Had the comment started with “You can find similar ideas in Nix” I think it would have been well-received. Tone and intent matter.
Reminds of the running joke in Land of the Lost where Will Ferrel's character, Dr. Marshall, keeps slagging off the T. rex for it's small brain.
When you use your nix-wrapped language of choice, do you nixify your unit tests so that their results are in the cache and don't need to be reran except partially when necessary?

AFAIK that's atypical, but if you've got it working please share a link.
I think Next.js is like the modern rails that can seamlessly bridge server side state over to the client side for interactive applications.
Why don’t any governments get in that business then? They could distribute it locally but sell the vaccines and pharmaceuticals they develop to foreign countries and make a bunch of profit.
They weren’t trying to though. People generally get Physics and Philosophy doctorates hoping to contribute something to human knowledge. If you never had any ambition to do that you can’t have failed to come close to equaling Dyson or Parfit because you were never trying to.
Really don't wish to go back to this. We don't have QA teams or QAs where I work anymore. We can get changes to prod much faster and our test suites are growing to be pretty high quality for the stuff our team owns.
Where/when is electricity not a class stratified privilege?

How do I use as much electricity as Elon musk does running the Twitter servers?
https://www.pagetable.com/?p=410 may go some way toward explaining this. The behavior is slightly different than in the video. I believe this is because the video is using a 65C02 instead of the original NMOS 6502 and the implementation is slightly different.
Yep. Our biggest deals (7 figs) are remote.

I do buy into getting on a plane or having someone local. That generally speeds up and increases close rate + renewal. But if you nail distribution or PLG.. can run enterprise sales much more efficiently and without as big a hit, and reinvest that saved $ elsewhere. But that's a high bar. More reliable to take heavy VC $ and burn it on expensive field staff to paper over all the gaps and hope accounts don't churn too fast. Things change again as a market saturates, but for new categories, all this is pretty established in b2b..
Why would I learn to use Rails when I can write an SPA in React in my sleep?
This is why effective documentation starts with run books.
The only thing is whether or not Mercedes will take liability for their system if it causes an incident while operating within their defined driving limitation (eg. 35mph). If they still say "it's up to you", it's tough to trust it enough to read a book or watch a movie.
An app called Fitnotes, which I've used for years, is a glorified spreadsheet in my opinion.

Also contrary to another poster who insists on not tracking your lifts, I find it essential both for making progress and maintaining interest, its somewhat comparable to levelling an RPG character. At the very least its useful for remembering what you've done recently so you know what to do next.
I feel I’m in a similar position. It’s not that I’m not working but I’ll often realize, in hindsight, that I’ve spent way more time on something than it was worth. This kind of single track mind also has me waiting last minute to finish a lot of work when the deadline knocks me straight.

One thing I’m going to try is putting everything into some kind of planner. Like my own personal scrum board. I know your case is a bit different but curious if you’ve found some tips and tricks that helped

What are the actual savings though?

Vs alternatives like using a flash boiler, or convincing your government to reduce the water that the agriculture industry can use, or adding a timer on the shower?
This is the way. Rails and Hotwire especially really worth a look. Hope it can gain some traction, so tired of the constant “innovation” of JS frameworks
Have you ever heard something called “brake check”?

The bottom line is if all car in front you is using FSD like this, you will hit one of them sooner or later, no matter how “good” you are.

Yeah I've done this too.
I am fascinated by how to train a model to do the math. As we've known that one crucial factor to make models so powerful is to conceive a deep question, like filling the missing words in sentences, for them. And what is the underlying question of the doing math ability?

Can’t write your backend in react. So presumably someone else is writing an API in their sleep that your app will consume.
>Recommended following distances are nowhere near "instant stop of vehicle in front of you plus reaction time".

But the nothing can instantly stop, it's physics. The recommendations, at least in Germany are so that you have enough time to react + brake if the car in front of you does an emergency braking manœuvre.

If the car merges into your lane at too little distance, like here, you have to slow down. A lot of people don't.
