Going from zero to hero with OpenAI ChatGPT4 - Startup founder edition

Ever wondered how long it would take to code a startup landing page and live product preview? As a semi-technical person with a business background, I took up the challenge to do it in just TWO evenings, and with ChatGPT4 by my side, I turned this ambitious goal into a reality!

ChatGPT4 breakthroughs:
[1] No more error loops: ChatGPT4 recognizes when it's stuck and suggests a REAL solution!
[2] Long format stability: No more getting stuck mid-answer like with ChatGPT3.
[3] The code WORKS: Witnessing my simple yet effective product come to life was fantastic!

Tools I used: NextJS, Tailwind CSS, Echarts, Marquiz, and Vercel. Tailwind UI helped me create stunning visual components quickly while finding a chart library compatible with NextJS was a challenge. Admittedly, the setup could have been much simpler and would have saved me a lot of time!

ChatGPT4's role: As a semi-technical product person, ChatGPT4 saved me tons of time by providing clear instructions and doing the grunt work, like generating random data and duplicating chart components with new data points. No more 13 youtube tutorial tabs open, and struggling to find instructions relevant to my specific stack - only one tab to rule them all.

Pro tip: To save time, I skipped branding and logos, opting for a simple icon and pretty font for the project name.

I agree the best action is to not say anything to the public until all of their money is quietly taken out (if possible). The question is if FF had done nothing, would they have been better off? That's a hell of a bet to make, to assume that no one else is part of the run and that given the deteriorating financials that it won't be coming soon (even if inadvertently in the normal course of business).
Thus we get to see a new form of company structure.

The shell company as ablative material. You recreate new companies, which then "buy" the shunned buisness, while the old company is dissolved the new "hull" takes the fire and is then sold on to the next, new hull. Rinse and repeat till heat death or protestant ethics accepting sex-work as a normal part of human behaviour.
Regarding your last sentence: that would be a consumer protection agency.

There is a private non profit entity (with a "it's complicated" relationship to the government) for consumer protection in my country to which you can go for little money and ask them to help when you suspect a company is acting illegally.

They'll advise you, help you write letter, link you up with a lawyer or sue on your behalf. Sometimes they go after companies for things like "creative" TOS or to have courts clear up grey area of the law.

Recently they became one of the few entities who can start the entities who can start the local "equivalent" of a class action suit.

As a whole it's working pretty great.
Plenty to be made contracting legacy jQuery projects.
It seems fine if the new job you're interviewing for is remote-only.

It's also fine if you're interviewing for a company local to you, there's no Amazon location anywhere nearby, and you were fired for refusing to relocate.
It's amazing how a company can have a simplistic and broken mail system, warn users about it, but have no intention of actually *fixing* their brain-dead software. It's not a new problem.

I'm sure they can manage to track which fakebux you paid for and which ones they gifted you. The is zero consumer benefit to having intermediate currrencies that cannot be be changed back into real money. It's entirely a dark pattern used to make you spend more by obscuring costs and generating leftover amounts that you can't really use without inserting more cash.
If your app is using server-side APIs to get data, then inevitably there will be API changes during the active development period. While it is a good practice to have backward compatibility, you can’t endlessly support the old versions, and one day you would love to upgrade all order users and get rid of that deprecated API.
I hope this sentiment becomes more normalized over time :)
I’m sure someone is working on adding support for human-like errors in LLM outputs.
> Excel is powerful, but it’s not easy to learn. It only seems that way to people who already know how it works.

this right there.

except, it IS easy to learn actually. it's visual, you can click around and find out. if you forget the spelling of some formula, no probs, there is a help button.

the interface is what makes it easier, markdown is also an interface. except it's not AS exposed to the user as excel is.

people dont want to read manuals or consult documentation, they want to hit the ground running.
Just FYI - I would not use CRA. Even the react maintainers basically recommend you don't use it, since it's not really up to date with best principles, and they might eventually change it so that it becomes a wizard that lets you choose between other more modern choices like nextjs or vite.

You probably want to look at vite for a more direct alternative to CRA. No need for things like -rewired, and it's probably 10x faster than CRA.
I thought you made a typo there where you mentioned "still running great almost 60 years later."

Turns out you are spot on!

I believe it should be possible for some magazines. I read some issues of The Economist and National Geographic magazine, and they come with a 'reader mode' where the magazine page formatting is removed, and you are presented with bare text and images, like the Reader Mode in Firefox (and Chrome?).

That should work on a Kobo. But it requires Overdrive to recognize this and push the readable formatted magazine to the Kobo.
Speaking of sci-fi, project orion/nuclear propulsion is also featured in Marko Kloos' Frontlines series (though not in the first book if I remember correctly)

I'm trying to understand the relevance of Fast Ethernet in the modern world. What are some current use cases? Or is this project primarily of educational value? (I couldn't find anything in the docs.)
..."Users who wish to protect themselves from the baseband remote code execution vulnerabilities in Samsung’s Exynos chipsets can turn off Wi-Fi calling and Voice-over-LTE (VoLTE) in their device settings."

Very kind of them to offer the freedom of choice to all those users who don't want to protect themselves!
Is it possible to add Svelte gradually for simple and small parts of a website without a compile step? It surely seems amazing and all the rave these days!

Then again, the whole front-end ecosystem is moving at a pace I cannot quite follow. Instead, I've been going into the direction of traditional monoliths and working through the docs of Django and RoR.

There you have a plain "good-old" templating language with sprinkles of htmx and alpine where you need it. This along a bunch of back-end devs that seem to not want to even touch the javascript stuff with a stick. It almost feels refreshing though, particularly if you want to build rapid MVPs while retaining maximum control of your entire stack and IP. When teams grow and you need to support extensive and/or thicker clients, I believe this is where bigger front-end libraries like you mention truly shine. I'm still counting on us coming a full circle and there being a re-emergence of traditional monoliths in the future though. But then again, with supabases, pocketbases, strapis and other "simpler" backends of this world, who knows what'll be happening even in the nearest future...

You forget the immense depth of everything that is computers today. It simply is not possible to learn everything, even basics of everything, in the time to get a decree.
> I get the feeling it was the right call. No vaping ads and vape shops everywhere like I see in Europe

Vapes cause at most 1/100 the harm cigarettes do. There is no combustion products, only nicotine, and not always. The only harm they do is as a possible gateway to actual smoked tobacco. As such, banning them while allowing tobacco is completely nonsensical. It should be the other way around.

It brings to my mind the levels of self driving

We're definitely at 2 right now, and picking away at level 3.

I have heard some people skeptical that we can overcome the problems of truthfulness due to the inherent limitations of LLMs. But, at least on the face of it, it appears we can make incremental improvements.

If only they would actually be OpenAI

I think it's fine to do that in your 20s for a while to build a resume and a big bank account. After that, though, you should probably prioritize other things in life. Don't live your whole adult life like that; it's not worth it.
> won't take everyone's job, it will just open up new areas for new jobs.

This was true for Industrial Automation when machines automated physical work and humans could do knowledge work.

Now machines are on the verge of automating knowledge there would be no work left for humans.
> Yeah but that assumes people are honest about the providence of their content and let you know up front that it was produced by an Ai and is thus not protected by copyright…

Detection systems for generative AI are being developed (potentially helped by generative AI systems being built with wwatermarking capabilities that are designed to be unobtrusive to humans, but detectable with tools.) Research on this (and experiments by the people selling generative AI, who also want to sell detection tools, and sell their product suite as providing “safety” because of that combination) is quite active.
Then I guess that it is learned behavior. It recognizes the shape of a conversation and it knows where it is supposed to stop.

It would be interesting to stretch this model, like asking it to continue a conversation between 4-5 people where the speaking order is not regular and the user is 2 people and the model is 3
and miller also has a powerful (and intuitive imo.) dsl should you need to go beyond what the simple command line switches offer.

so, it remains simple and concise for the easy problems, yet can scale up to address the trickier ones as well.

i've used csvkit, sqlite, jq, etc. miller is my favorite tool for data-fu (with sqlite being a close 2nd)
one of the reasons why Docker is so popular [among web devs] - it's basically the same inside and all that changing parts are handled by cloud in good case or by greybeard sysadmins in worst case.
A number of FPGAs come with hardware Ethernet peripherals built-in so I'm guessing this is for fun.
I guess it’s because whilst hooks improve on some aspects, they are quite counter intuitive and very easy to use incorrectly. I don’t think hooks is the final answer to side effects and state in react.
That is interesting. I am not very educated on Sowell's views beyond his interviews on the Hover Institute YT channel. I will take a deeper look. Thank you for your recommendation.
If i believed in socially progressive lib values, but thought a non-explicitly progressive issue was a major immanent threat... you'd consider me conservative for the structure of my priorities?

Not following the logic at all here.
I have been played the same thought. If everyone have AIs, and given that it gives you the best course of actions, you would be out-competed if you do not follow its recommendations. Neither you nor the AI knows why, it just gives you the optimal choices. Soon everyone, individuals, organizations and states outsources their free will to the AI
I usually receive some sort of scam about home sales. They say they found me on Zillow, or they ask how much I offer for that property over there, very context-free and vague messages, as if I'm supposed to know what they're on about. At one point I answered "NEW PHONE WHO DIS ?" and they stopped. Pro tip: feign ignorance, could work.

The other thing I used to get a lot was political fundraisers or activism and they made a point of calling me by name (not my name, but by some woman's name), and I believe I attempted to STOP those a few times. A related fact may be that I found this woman's name, with my surname, in WhitePages.com under my home address with same phone number. Don't know how she got there, unless I forgot that I was married?
Smaller devices that don't need to send or receive more than 100mbits? Devices that don't want to consume more energy than necessary? (I think gigabit is more power-hungry).

Wifi isn't practical for all use cases either.
> There’s zero way Disney will want any chance for their materials to not be copyrightable.

Sure, but Disney will just not release the intermediate products that are the direct outputs of pure prompting, and make sure they are doing at least enough beyond that before they release anything that the whole is covered by copyright.
But the withdrawals didn't force them to admit they had taken a massive loss, the withdrawals forced them to take the massive loss at all. It's not a loss until you sell, right? They sold to cover withdrawals.

Apparently they had $48B in withdrawals in a one-day period. Trying to imagine any bank that wouldn't need to take losses (to the point of being potentially insolvent) in order to deal with that. Yes, obviously SVB was still very poorly hedged given current interest rates, but they probably could've unwound their position in a much, much more favorable way without the run, to the point where it's possible they could've done so without ever being "insolvent".
Of course there are many reasons to not trust China, but it doesn't mean you don't need any shred of evidence to make up shit against them. Like...that's not how that works.

And calling China "imperialist" is borderline hilarious. How many military bases do they have around the world and how many brown people countries have they bombed?
I honestly think this is a fools game - maybe it will work in those very very early stages of generative AI we're in now, but there's no way this can work reliably going forward. If anything, I imagine it will soon start yielding false positives against human generated work too.
> Here's my implementation, for the record: https://pastebin.com/rjj0FDDd

This implementation doesn't account for the fact that the promise may settle after the component has been unmounted.
You might try Lazarus Ide. Very much like VB6 though language is free pascal. Actively developed, good documentation, and lots of libraries. https://www.lazarus-ide.org/
I wouldn't say that Excel is harder to learn. I was thought the basics of it in primary school. I don't think Panadas could be thought at the same level, you need to know Python first and that is a mountain, even if there are much higher mountains.

With Excel you mostly need to know about cell addressing, =, dragging corner of selection, $, ranges and some basic formulas (that currently are much easier to explore than when I was first approaching the subject). That is, I think, around 80% of Excel as it is used, maybe even more.
Ask HN: Do you miss description lists (<dl>) in Markdown (GFM)?
"Item - description or nothing" lists are everywhere in software documentation and discussion. Usage messages are one example. "Awesome lists" on GitHub are another, but they are written as unordered lists. I wonder if they would be if GitHub Flavored Markdown or CommonMark supported description lists (other than through raw HTML). Do you ever miss them?

Some implementations of Markdown support description lists, like Pandoc's. There is basically an established syntax, although it differs slightly between implementations and is not the simplest to parse: https://talk.commonmark.org/t/description-list/289/.
None use Linux, most just use BSD licence software (or things like openssl). I haven’t seen any GPL code at all tbh.

But yep, would be nice if it was open source, although not sure how much that would help (only if sufficiently motivated auditors can be bothered to look at it). A bunch of baseband firmware is even encrypted on disk now (loaded into BB memory from the kernel)
I have the same experience. A 3 bedroom villa with swimming pool compares in price to a room in a 4 star hotel (Canary Islands, Spain).
React had a small simple API surface, made it super easy to create reusable components, and was more performant than some of the other dominant solutions (AngularJS)
Loki is the bomb-dizzle when it comes to real-time monitoring. First it’s designed to provide real-time monitoring of log data, allowing users to detect issues and troubleshoot problems as they occur. Gonna come in handy, particularly for mission-critical applications where downtime can have severe consequences.
This whole thing is, honestly, the most exciting thing that has happened in years and I mean years in the technology tech space. Right at the level of internet.

Have you even looked at the prices of food and drink?!
> Why should it if technology is inherently deflationary?

Most of it's not paying for the tech: It's paying for the licensing fees to the TV channels. And at least one of those licenses will always ask for more money, and none of them will ever ask for less money - Not unless TV & other streaming services are fully killed off and YouTube is literally the only place that people can watch TV.

Reductively: YouTube will have to be the sole broadcasting company for the entire world before these media companies will ever bend the knee.
Yep in most cases, but not always configured the best. Logic flaws seem the best way to go :)
very useful for a webdev noob like me
> Of course, there's no reason why you can't write your own equivalents of assert and debug_assert in C, or any other language, but having them built into a language (or standard library)

Doesn't C have both static_assert and assert as part of the standard library?
I was in early TB and had a good experience at first that later went sour. You may have explained a little of what happened. Oh well.
GSoC basically changed my entire career. I'm glad that Google keeps this running, especially given that they got rid of other cool competitions like Codejam. Hopefully, they can continue finding the budget for these extremely valuable contributions to open-source.
Around 2013 our university digitized their newspaper displays. Prior to the renovation, newspapers were posted daily in large vertical glass-covered display cases in the student lounge of the library (the library would buy and post two copies so all pages were face up). Tens of students at a time would slowly walk down the row of newspapers reading during their study breaks and quietly chatting while sipping on coffee.

After the lounge was renovated and made into a digital media space this culture completely disappeared. I saw maybe two people use the digital kiosks to read newspapers in the subsequent year. It was heartbreaking to see the culture of community newspaper reading just collapse.
You forgot one variant: they just don't like it.

Like me. I use the command line all the day, compiling AOSP and kernels, and drivers, firmware, and all kind of related things for embedded. But I don't like it.

To me, it feels archaic and counterintuitive (I'm autodidact). Same goes for command line editors or Vi, Vim, Emacs, etc.

It's not 1985 anymore. Microsoft and Apple built an empire based on coherent (up to some point) UIs. They succeded because they might were up to something.

Gambling creates no wealth for society as a whole. A gambling island like Vegas may benefit because they suck wealth from surrounding areas.

Any jobs or government revenue created from gambling come at the expense of productive activities, while simultaneously creating social problems from addiction and crime.

I hate the term gambling. It isn't a gamble for the state lotto that sets mathematical payouts that ensure a certain percent profit, nor is it a gamble for the casino owner with his slot machines.
Imagine the damage that could be done by sneaking a prompt into a GPT model, in the source code, through some "code" injection, man-in-the middle attack, etc.

A GPT genuinely designed to be friendly, and convincingly acting friendly, while it is actually engaging in psychological warfare with you, and a billion other people.

That suggests to me that security by prompt is very important, but also brittle and a high value target.

Language/intelligent models are going to need to police each other, ensuring the right behavior is learned during training (to the point where the AI actively rejects exploit attempts even in its bundled release prompts), and the wrong behavior doesn't emerge later (due to release prompt hacking or for any other reason).

And policing is going to need to be highly decentralized. As in reviews from randomly selected entities, with neither the author of the responses being reviewed, or the reviewers, being disclosed to each other. So that any attempt to police ineffectively, defectively or incompetently (?) is extremely difficult, and most likely to identify a bad actor to be weeded out.

First rule of AI club, is police AI club.

This is essentially what humans have learned to do, via clumsy institutions. But a billion AI's with formal validation of review protocols, including "review and forget" guarantees - to protect AI's mental privacy rights (and remove incentives for good actors to avoid reviews), might actually achieve that intelligent rational morality that has been out of reach for us.

Missing standard downstream promise cancellation is arguably one of the bigger problems in the whole javascript ecosystem. In C# almost every async function has a CancellationToken parameter, same in Go with Context.

Even after years of writing fullstack javascript this is my first time seeing AbortSignals, probably because nobody uses them. Some libraries, like Axios, handroll their own cancellation mechanisms, but that does not really cut it.
Loved reading your thoughts on the situation in this thread, super interesting and depressing at the same time.

I wonder how long it will take politics to appreciate the deep societal problems that may soon arise. Probably it will be too little, too late.
These kind of people are like that. Does Linus Torvalds have a web page? No. He knows he doesn't need one. They are gods in the IT industry, and they know it.
