Ask HN: Struggling to figure out when not to use ChatGPT. Harming my skills?
I am a programmer who has become increasingly reliant on ChatGPT, and I find it difficult to know when not to use it.

For example, queries I previously searched on Google would provide worse results than what I'm getting with ChatGPT, and so I would be forced to learn more and take a lot longer completing some programming task in my previous life where I didn't use ChatGPT.

When I use ChatGPT I make sure I understand each line of code and type everything out by hand, but I can't help but feel that the process of spending longer piecing something together through Google and documentation integrates the learning better in my memory, and produces better problem solving skills (because I'm having to figure out more things on my own).

Ironically, Google being worse than ChatGPT for a lot of programming queries seems to result in me learning more potentially.

The counter argument is that I can accomplish more with ChatGPT and so perhaps I am exposed to more programming and overall learn more due to that.

It's hard not to use ChatGPT because of how much more immediately productive it makes me though.

I should point out that ChatGPT is not always better than Googling, and has been useless or nearly useless for some types of programming.

Anyway, how do other programmers deal with this difficulty? Do you not see it as a problem?

Thanks!
Some good points - but "carefully removed the heads".. fella, they used an axe...

The MAME and MESS trees have been reorganized a few times so I can't just track one file back easily but so far I've chased SID entries in MAME back to at least 2006. It's one of the defining features of a very popular platform, of course it's going to have at least some level of support.
Crowdsource crimefighting. $10k bounty per thief or drug dealer brought to police. $100k per violent criminal, dead or alive. Bounty is doubled for repeat offenders.

Advertise the bounty program in rural America. Trucks full of armed rednecks will arrive within a week and the criminal underclass will scurry like rats.

Funding comes from the city's billion-dollar-plus homeless benefits programs.
- Access to engage the kill switches would be provided to the executive branch of the nation in which the robot is operating.

Good plan, but this is the weak spot. You'd also want to do something like hand out remote kill switch access to citizens selected at random, who should not publicize this duty in any way. Alternatively, most if not all governments should have cross-country killswitch privileges. At any rate, the deployment of a killswitch in a single chain of command should not be considered sufficient.

Let's at least die with a little less embarrassment than "the AI bribed the killswitch operator."
The issue is that if it runs at 50 FPS on an RTX 4090, it's going to run at 5 FPS on an average GPU.
Yes, yes it is. I have a 4k TV with 120hz. I want to be able to use it. If Anno 1800 can run at 100+ framerates, surely this game can too.

That is essentially what happened!

The FBI asked researchers and university professors precisely this question. They then used the proposed attack vectors to formulate a plan to protect the nation.

This was all supposed to be done in secret. After all, we don’t want to “give the terrorists ideas.”

The reason I know about this at all is because someone found one such paper was accidentally published on a public FTP site alongside a bunch of non-classified government-funded research.

The content was horrifying. One professor came up with a laundry list of imaginative ways to end society… on a budget.
Which issue? There are certain issues that are non-issues in the App Router, and simply not possible in the Pages Router without a significant amount of foundational changes. Which, those changes are, the App Router. That’s why we’ve been focusing on making incremental adoption easy. I think there’s still room to make it smoother (hard navigations between pages/app, metadata codemods for next/head) ad well.

It is notoriously difficult to dry Osage orange without cracking. If you can get a solid piece it’s extremely durable. Pretty good mechanical properties too. Handles that go for days.

The amusing thing about Osage is we lived in a subdivision that contained the old boundary of a farm, so all of our neighbors had a row of “problem” Osage orange on their back property line. 18” or bigger, tall and looming. And now I know people who actually want it.

Performance problems like this are usually complex dumb things. Like calculating a thing a million times when it only needs to be done once, doing one thing and context switching instead of batching, dumb locking that leaves threads spending most of their time waiting, creating and destroying a thing millions of times when it should be reused, etc etc.

It will just be lots of these things that need to be found and corrected.

Flow batteries always seemed like the ideal solution for grid-scale storage.

You decouple the transformation (charge/discharge) from the capacity (liquid volume), with the goal of making the latter "a standard pressure, watertight tank."

But I believe last time they came up here, people said the charge/discharge still needed some work.

There's an RFC for a standard that I believe the Google Authenticator uses (and other authenticators also?).

Basically (if I've understood it correctly), You get an random seed that you initiate the authenticator with, then for (each minute?) it combines the unix timestamp, the seed and calculate the time-based-one-time-password.

So combining a user-specific password, the TOTP (whose seed is on an initiated device for the user) you have 2 factors that can be hard for an attacker to retrieve both of.

Grid storage doesn't need to consider weight at all. We can use heavy storage methods if they're cheap enough with enough capacity. There's some rather exotic designs for energy storage that don't use any materials that we could feasibly run out of.
The computer part of this "quantum computer" is not really developed. So mostly they just have some way of storing a qbit, of which they have built more than 1000 copies, but no way of making them do anything significant.

Hi all,
I am having hard time to market my API service.
I have been approaching so many developers to get honest feedback on my API service, but none of them have replied.

The API service is published on RapidAPI, and I have seen some people test it as well but not continue using it. I followed up with them to see if they could provide me feedback or if there was something I could improve, but none of them replied.

Please help! Thank you.

lots of ways. It is very easy to do things which affect performance negatively.

Once you're sure about what you're doing and the data that you're drawing to the screen, then you can start optimizing things so that performance goes up.

Colossal chose to release when they did because they promised to release on that day. The game isn't done, and they've said this.
Not as powerful of a setup, but I have a 5800X, 32 GB of RAM, and an RX 6800 XT on a 4K monitor, and I got 5 FPS on the main menu (which was showing an empty grass field).

I had to set my resolution to 1080p in order to get anything remotely resembling performance (this change alone took main menu FPS from 5 to ~55), plus disabling motion blur, depth of field, and volumetrics, and turning model fidelity down. I've also heard that disabling vsync can make a huge difference, but it didn't affect things for me.

Isn't that just how markets work? They are sized to the demand today, so if you were to increase demand by 10x overnight of course they would be distorted. If however demand increases slowly over time then the markets react normally--suppliers increase production, new suppliers enter the market--and the price remains fairly stable.

I find it interesting that ChatGPT thinks the mitigation for these issues are all things outside OpenAI's control (e.g. the internet having better detection for fake content, digital content verification, educating the public, etc).

The README starts with "Powered by a custom QUIC protocol", which raises some concern. When looking at the protocol doc, I see "standard QUIC transport protocol RFC 9000 with Unreliable Datagram Extension [(RFC 9221 Draft Proposal])."

Is that the extent of the "custom" QUIC protocol?
Agreed, I'd want the power to be distributed widely, to the point where any police department would have someone with the power to disable robots. Of course it would have to be a process that is regulated and with traceability, but as long as you provide many operators the ability, it seems difficult to use bribes to prevent robots being disabled.
Genuine question: does MFA conceptually make any sense for a device on your local network, accessed locally?

I understand why you'd want it if trying to access your NAS from the internet, while traveling. (And in which case, if the internet is down, you can't access it anyways.)

But I'm struggling to understand why you'd ever want to enable MFA for signing into a device on your LAN. If it's on your LAN, you probably have physical access to it, and that's basically a factor in itself. Not "something you have", but "where you are" (or I guess it is "something you have" -- the device itself).

I've only encountered MFA before as something to protect remote account access. None of my other local devices support MFA -- I don't use it to unlock my phone, or my encrypted hard drive. So supporting it for local NAS access seems a bit unexpected.
No that's not true! Svelte is a standalone project. Rich Harris, the founder and face behind Svelte, is paid by Vercel to work on it full-time.

From the same link above:
>> "Joining Vercel enables Rich to work on Svelte full-time, giving the project its first dedicated contributor. The governance of Svelte does not and will not change – it's still the same independent, open-source project and community. With Vercel's backing, Svelte can get even more ambitious."
Brilliant way to keep your team focused. No drama or in-fighting about who's getting more or less.
One thing I noticed that went by the wayside during my lifetime was companies basically stopped paying to train workers. Would be good to implement tax policies that strongly encourage companies to go back to doing that.
> There are nitrates on mars

The martian atmosphere is 2.8% N2. For comparison, Earths atmoshpere is 78.08% N2, while also being more than 100x as dense. And Earth already has soil, and a developed nitrogen cycle, while Mars doesn't.

So there is nowhere near enough Nitrogen in-situ on Mars to support any form of agriculture. It has to be brought from Earth.

> mars has enough gravity to prevent bone loss

https://www.ucsf.edu/news/2017/07/407806/traveling-mars-will...

So yes, lowered gravity has negative impacts on our bones and physiology in general. The gravity on Mars is 1/3 that of Earth. And that's after spending several months in-transit at microgravity.

At a previous job I did (not tech related) I had to use some internal web app, and that thing was absolutely full of these mistakes, everything has padding, the text has padding, the box around the text has padding, the table row cotaining that box has even more padding.

This led to an app that could fit like 4 table rows on a standard 1080p display, and every row of that table had very little actual info

On top of that, for some ungodly reason text size was defined by view width, and on some of the old 4:3 displays that were there, it was damn near unusable

Driving a 2016 Land Cruiser and then immediately going to drive a Model 3 right afterwards was shocking. The Land Cruiser ergonomics were so good and everything was physical and I didn’t have to think about much (except for the air conditioning which is a pain in the ass — and is touch screen). The Model 3 made me do work and I noticed myself talking to it a lot while I hunted around for stuff and looking at the screen a LOT while operating the car. It’s a good touch screen but touch screens without haptics are a broken paradigm. Software defined cars demand them I guess, but it is something I absolutely hated about the Tesla. I can’t speak for others, but for me the gigantic touchscreen was a net negative and put me off the car.

Having as much experience as you do and still conflating "widely used because it's super good" and "widely used because of network effects and inertia" is really puzzling.

Surely you understand that your argument is disingenuous, right? Nobody wants to start over a new OS or a browser in another language due to the huge costs that no corporation nowadays is willing to shoulder (due to their own interests). Otherwise a lot of people would very definitely write OS-es and browsers in Rust, D, V even, Zig, Nim and a good amount of others.

The part about including "use client" by default is referring to component libraries. e.g. you don't want to import <ReactPagination/> and have it break because it uses useState. When writing your own components you can decide which need to be marked as client and which don't. I don't think NextJS is doing any harm by not magically including "use client" on your own files. I agree that it is confusing to be called "use client". Maybe "use interactive" would have been better, but regardless the "use client" directive is from React so I'm not sure why it's related to a complaint for NextJS.
They focus on the tooling and not pushing a "paradigm" like SRR. Maybe not the best examples I would admit.
