Creating a ChatGPT Plugin for Real-Time Weather Updates
Introduction
OpenAI’s ChatGPT is a powerful conversational AI model that can be used for a wide range of applications. One of the most exciting features of ChatGPT is its ability to be extended with plugins, which can provide additional functionality and allow the model to interact with third-party resources. In this article, we’ll walk through the process of creating a ChatGPT plugin that interacts with a weather API to provide real-time weather updates.

What is a ChatGPT Plugin?
A ChatGPT plugin is a piece of software that extends the functionality of ChatGPT. It allows the model to interact with third-party resources and perform tasks that it wouldn’t be able to do on its own. For example, a plugin could allow ChatGPT to interact with a database, retrieve information from a website, or even interact with a weather API to provide real-time weather updates.

Rip. I've read Art of Deception in high school and I think it had a lasting influence on me. It reads like a collection of interesting stories. I recomend that book to everyone, especially to people outside of tech.
It's very much like I have a hidden meter for dealing with other people. Once it's full, I'm done with people. It doesn't really matter how much I like or trust these people. I can get burned out from talking to folks at work and need space from my family and vice-versa. I just need time to be alone and not have to consider making conversation or entertaining anyone. I need space for my thoughts to expand and to not be constantly distracted by other people's "noise". I love my wife. I love my kids. I enjoy spending time with them. But when that social meter is full, regardless of how it got full, I have little ability to engage with them.

I think a great art installation would be some kind of video rental store shelves with boxes and boxes of fake movies you’ve never heard of. I long for the experience of wandering around as a thoughtless child looking at cover art.

A book store is kind of similar, but not really sure where to find one these days.

Sorry, I don't understand your story.
There currently isn't much that's exactly comparable. I'm personally giving the more open competitors more time to improve. I refuse to get excited unless it's something I can conceivable run myself once whatever company fucks it up.
One dimension often missing from these (intro/extro-vert) discussions is the matter of what kind of people and what circumstance the interactions involve.

Put me in a large group of people I have little in common with or with whom I have no interest in -- but am forced to socialize with -- and I'm used up in minutes. But with people I can somewhat identify with, and in a situation which offers something for me, and I can go for hours and leave with equal or higher energy than I started.

There's also the matter of the depth of communication. In larger groups, it's difficult to reach any depth since many people may be involved in the discussion (and many people may behave differently or maintain more defensive walls); but 1:1 or in very small groups it's easier to develop trust quickly and have some very meaningful conversations.

I find many larger group interactions incredibly shallow and boring... just an endless stream of small talk with some attention-seeking, posturing, or peacocking here and there.
They should have moved to some other language long ago to speed up development.

If they understand the notion of changing keys, then they don't have no knowledge of music theory. Transposition is basic theory, but music theory nonetheless. What do you reckon theory is? It starts with understanding how scales and chords are built.
People talk about SEO as a cat&mouse game, but I'm not sure it has to be.

Does Google want to win the game, or do they profit from the game continuing?

For example... When Google was founded, your site would flourish by the value of its content. But today, given all the SEO that the search engines permit, your options are limited. And one of the big options you're forced to choose from is to pay Google money, to be seen at all in real-world searches by people.

"That's a very nice Web site you got. Would be a shame if nobody was to find it."

If they wanted to, maybe Google has enough information about the world that it could wipe out the vast majority of SEO, with a zero-tolerance policy.

For example... Let's say you do SEO work. Google can probably tell that a site you worked on was SEO'd. So the site gets penalized severely. But there's more. Google probably knows exactly who you are, much of what you work on, who you interact with, etc. After your last clients are burnt to the ground, discoverability-wise, you get an engagement to work on a different site. Google has a good chance of figuring out that, too, and those sites get penalized severely. For engaging in deceptive and manipulative behavior, to rig search engine results, compromising people's ability to access the world's information.

"Nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

You're not going to keep doing SEO, because nobody wants to pay money to have their site receive search engine perma-death.

I'm not saying that this particular approach would be a good thing (and there would have to be a managed transition from the current mass sociopathic frenzy). But saying that the current situation is a cat&mouse game that can't be solved... might mainly be serving the cat and the mouse.

Maybe the cat and mouse are in a symbiotic relationship that lets them both milk the cows.

> he only wants to chain existing solutions, rather than trying to imagine how we can make things better.

You have to meet in the middle. Nobody wants to reinvent the wheel - it's not good faith to accuse someone of laziness for trying to suggest a realistic product roadmap. If you're more caught up on the current SOTA in your field and feel that there's a better solution, the onus is on you to write that code. Your employee could still be a 10x engineer if you delegate meaningful work to them, but right now it sounds like you do have unrealistic expectations for them.

You shouldn't expect to find anyone more passionate about your product than you are. I'm not sure if you can focus on "other projects" while paying someone to invent your Magnum Opus for you.
What does "anti-corporate" mean in a software context?

Perhaps not - but then again there are lots of things that people in prison are not allowed to do (that's kind of the point).
Wow, that’s exciting! Maybe I’m being too optimistic, but does this mean we’ll soon be able to write single pieces of code that can execute on both client- and server-side?

It sounds like pure Java will get us part of the way there thanks to applets – which are also supported in Netscape 2.0 – but JavaScript gives much more control of the whole page. I played with it in an early beta when it was called LiveScript and wrote a crossword puzzle that didn’t need to reload the page at all. Amazing! Now if I can write the backend part in Java and have it work the same way…

I can’t wait for the Java and JavaScript syntaxes to unite and make web page development simpler. Netscape and Sun HQs are just a handful of miles apart, so come on folks, don’t drag it out! Could we get this before the end of the year?

"A competent text editor (let's say no older than 40 years old) can highlight and/or render that"

But I'm not EDITING them. I just want to double-click on it and read the document, rendered properly. I do not want to have to open it in an editing environment and then invoke a preview (which often takes double the screen space). Again, WTF is up with the lack of lightweight, dedicated Markdown viewers?

I don't agree that stuff like ## and `` all over the place is eye-catching and attractive formatting. It's absurdly regressive. At that point, why not just use RTF, for which there are built-in viewers in the dominant OSes? Or if you really want plain text, use indentation, spacing, and capitals to organize the document.

If OSes' default viewers (like Notepad in Windows or Preview on the Mac) would render Markdown, I'd be fine with it. But they don't, and if they haven't added it yet, it doesn't seem that they will.
I don't think anyone would claim that not being boring is the only worthwhile measure of a person. But assuming nobody wants to be around a person who is causing harm purposefully, I'll take interesting over boring.

I like webcomics, the scruffy sort, just one person a website and a dream. The best part of these little comics is where they will have a list of links to other comics they like.

This feels like one of the last bastions of the true web left, the small web that is actually interlinked, not the dead ends you find in your ecommerce or social networking sites.

But it too is disappearing fast, I for one will miss it.
Engineers developing rendering engines for browsers definitely know what double buffering is. However, the accumulation of peculiar layout rules, support for CSS, and many other things make things hard. One of the major design flaws of the DOM was allowing unrestricted mutability. If DOM mutations were transactional by default, it would offer better control over layout reflows.

Change detection remains a common UI issue, even in native UIs. While rerendering everything on each UI loop is possible, as complexity increases, optimizations involve detecting changes. Smalltalk introduced MVC to identify changes and update the UI. Java Swing and Qt also adopted similar mechanisms with different names (observers, signals, and slots). Apple's Cocoa employs a variant of MVC as well. Change detection has historically been a common problem even in Win APIs.

Testing for both of those substances has improved, but still leave plenty of room for abuse.

Use of "unknown" or the constant stream newly developed substances is naturally not rigorously studied, but here's a couple of articles referencing the challenges they pose.

UFC is notorious for testosterone TUEs, but that's mostly because they regulate things differently to most other sports

https://www.espn.com/espn/otl/story/_/id/10500652/therapeuti...

Top flight soccer is another sport that's constantly garnering attention for TUEs, but most of the coverage of that is speculative, because other than high level statistics the TUE process is naturally not very transparent (and most of the recent coverage on the topic has been replaced by controversy relating to trans athletes).
There are hundreds of them.

Here's one.

Level 1-- learn the bass notes for Heart and Soul

Level 2-- now learn the bass notes in broken thirds

Level 3-- play those bass notes in left hand and root position triads an octave above in right hand

Level 4-- learn to play the melody in the right hand

Level 5-- (big power up needed to continue!) play both l.h. bass notes and r.h. melody

Level 6 Final Boss-- l.h. broken thirds and melody together

Now you go through 2nd Quest and play duets with people. It gets fun when you realize it's the same as the A section to I Got Rhythm so jazzers can jump in and noodle around atop your bass patterns.

You can even hear a few of these levels literally in the ending credits to a Tom Hanks movie:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHwhfJ1zzPs

Good luck and remember to save your game or you'll have to start back at the beginning each time.

Edit: the link is to a neat rendition-- you get a simulation of the game of learning the bass pattern as the musician slowly gains speed; New Orleans style Heart and Soul; and then a modest stride style Heart and Soul with chord substitutions. It even ends with a circle-of-fifths game that rises up to the Neapolitan before collapsing into one of those jazz ending-chords (sharp 11th?).

Tab Stash is way cooler than this. I found Sidebery to be much faster/efficient than most of the tab extensions, but I love that I can group tabs and 'offload'/archive them with Tab Stash. The only thing missing from Tab Stash was the ability to see which tab is playing audio. I installed the Sound Control extension to list tabs playing audio for that.

What's missing from EVERY tab extension is I just want the ability to show tabs in a tree view, like an ASCII art tree. They all do this indented, css-styled BS that doesn't look more compact or better. I just want an ASCII tree.

Anyway, look at Tab Stash for another alternative.
"AI cannot do reporting."

The USCSB didn't just recommend labels in that case (though that likely would have prevented the incident since it was caused by someone unfamiliar with the facility who might have read them). They also recommended making sure the connectors for the inlets were different so it would be physically impossible for the error to occur.

That said, it's quite silly indeed that the inlets for two incompatible chemicals that would release toxic fumes if mixed were 18 inches apart, unlabeled, used the exact same connector, and were locked behind the same gate. I don't think it takes
extraordinary collective intelligence to see how this could become a problem.

Mitnick was a hero to me. Very sad to hear this.
His ego came through a bit in the book, but honestly that's a fairly common trait for young guys. I am also quite aware that the book only presents one side of the story and that Mitnick had quite a different perspective. I'm sure the truth lies somewhere in the middle. My enjoyment of the book was much more about the process they used to track him down, and the detailed description of them building tools to aid in the process, rather than the people involved.
The supposed "draining" of introverts sounds like a cold reading technique or something you'd read in a horoscope. It applies to nearly everyone to some degree.

Enjoy socialising but after a party you're glad to put your feet up and read a book? Get slight anxiety making small talk with strangers, to the point where you feel bad if you do it for more than six hours? Don't want to hang out with your boss at the mandatory company event on the weekend when you could be with your husband and kids? Congratulations, you're A) perfectly normal and B) an introvert, sort of, if you squint!

The problem is not that I don't get what it's like to feel drained, it's that I'm pretty sure everyone I hang out with except for literally one single person feels drained by social interaction at some point.
What baffles me is that so many people argue solely about affirmative action, as if it's the only possible maybe-solution. I wrote more details here[0], but I think affirmative action can't be effective because it's so narrow, and the alternative should be lifting up poorer communities to an acceptable baseline. A strong foundation provides an opportunity for a strong house, after all. This would have an outsized impact on disadvantaged minorities but is more generally just correct: it doesn't violate equality of opportunity and it actually helps out minorities.

[0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36796543

To go on a bit of a rant unrelated to your comment, but I think what I'm proposing will be very effective, assuming that the focus on education is held in poorer communities. Culture is a touchy subject. Anyways, education has been shown to be an empowering force, and what better way to eradicate racism to the fringes of society than to bring everyone to the same level? Intentional or not, the feasibility of racism would become less as the prevalence of undeniably qualified minorities grows. Affirmative action gets the goal right but not the method. Even if what I'm proposing is somewhat incomplete, it would be a lot better as a starting point of discussion. Surely there must be other people who have thought similarly.

The economic impact of GitHub Copilot
GitHub just released a report about their ongoing experimentation with Copilot over a million users. Interestingly enough, it highlights the increase in acceptance rate over time. But I'd be curious to distinguish pure performance increase of Copilot as an API vs. learning curve of users to prompt it correctly.

When I was 16 years old, I started a 2600 meeting at a local mall food court. We joined in the 'Free Mitnick' movement, and would go around handing out flyers, explaining the implications of his case, peppering the place with stickers, putting them in copies of 2600 in Barnes & Noble and Borders. His case was an inspiration to a budding little hacker and taught me to become more idealistic and push for legal reforms and the rights of people who were punished far more than they deserved. Later in life I got to meet him at hacker conventions, and he was a super nice guy. I even got one of his lock-pick-set business cards! I know he's somewhat of a controversial figure, but he was also inspirational.
I appreciate your kindness towards me.

But he wasn't a first famous social engineer. That was extremely old hat by then.

People keep claiming he is a notable technologist, but I can't think of how. The Internet and other systems had intrinsic design flaws in the early day because it was birthed as an overly trusted network of well-known peers. Poking for flaws in those days didn't require any skill. The Morris worm, for example, was extremely skillful.

My biggest exposure to anything related to him is KnowBe4 and it is an utter piece of crap. It provides training modules that have no idea who their audience is so it veers wildly between terrible advice and overly technical advice with alongside the correct advice.

And lastly, and I mean this sincerely, my condolences to his family and friends. No one should have to go through this so young.
and will never be economically viable

While I do not disagree that it will be a ways off, never is a very long time. And the last century has seen so many things turn profitable, with scientific advances, presumption about the future seems inadvisable.

I talked to Mitnick once on the phone. I was on a partyline back in the AIM days and a hacker friend of mine called him up. Kevin seemed very frustrated that he kept calling him. I was just dumbfounded I was actually on the phone with Kevin Mitnick so I didn't say anything. Was shocked and saddened to see this. Sorry about that night, Kevin. Rest in peace.
