While GPT-4.5 may not be immediately applicable for most business use cases due to cost constraints, it represents a crucial direction for AI development - one that prioritizes understanding humans rather than just processing information. This focus on emotional intelligence may prove essential for AI safety, security, and leadership as these systems become more integrated into our society.

casualwriter··on Ask HN: Are GPT wrapper companies "AI" companies?
LLM just like engine, and AI application like a car. I believe that most AI companies will be wrapper company, they just build a car not necessary to make engine from beginning.
casualwriter··on Ask HN: Are people still using Pascal?
Actually for CURD desktop application, delphi and powerbuilder is much productive than other dev tool. We still using powerbuilder and delphi applications, stable and efficient, which not easy to be replaced shortly.

The real problem of delphi/powerbuilder is not the tools, but not easy to find new developer for program maintenance and development. beside delphi, I am also curious "Are people still using Powerbuilder?".

casualwriter··on Ask HN: Do you test in production?
yes, I do testing on production usually. I feel much comfortable if can perform enough testing in production, before inform end-user to start use it.

In my experience, it starts from DESIGN PHARSE, which should be awared to make it possible to test in production without impact end-user. CODING PHARSE shall make some arrangement to provide more possibility for testing on prodcution environment. DEPLOYMENT process shall be able to provide a time-gap like "pre-launch". Then will be happy to test in the "pre-launch" period in production, and feel confidence to infrom end-user for a release.

casualwriter··on What ever happened to webrings? (2015)
Webring was great. Missing it like missing old good day which everything is fresh and good. Now have to dig in junk for good thing, rarely fresh.
casualwriter··on Ask HN: How to deal with burn out whilst in probationary period?
- please talk to someone you trust - talk to Doctor, seek professional help - workout, jogging or hiking, etc.. - pick up a personal interests, reading, etc..
casualwriter··on Ask HN: What software do you miss that no longer runs on modern hardware?
Clipper. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipper_(programming_language)

It pretend to be xBase language but actually close to C.

casualwriter··on Ask HN: Do you think many posts don't get the front page attention they deserve?
My first impression is, that just the life! Everything like this, need some luck to run out.

then, I realized that is about productivity. Give good things more chances/resources, is the key of productivity, for a product, a community, or a race.

casualwriter··on Ask HN: Blog writing tools for developer focussed blog?
I just made one recently. a minimalist markdown blogging by a single html. very handy to host on github-page, and edit post by github markdown editor.

syntax highlight is also supported as using casual-markdown.js

hope it fit for your purpose.

casualwriter··on I’ve been building a database of successful companies
It sounds good. But what's the line between success and failure?
casualwriter··on Ask HN: Why can't smart phone screens also be solar panels?
the solar panels in screen size nearly cannot charge the battery, and it heat up the phone probably cause damage of the battery. an external solar pack is more practical.

btw, thanks your question hints me another solution, if solar pack can be more slim and foldable, it will be great to be a "solar-phone-case".

thanks. working on markdown-as-blog...
casualwriter··on Show HN: Markdown as web page/site
glad to know that.
casualwriter··on Show HN: Markdown as web page/site
yes. markdown is html as org-mode, which suitable for web content. web page normally has some add-on components, e.g. header, menu, theme, this is a try to handle them within markdown.
casualwriter··on Show HN: Markdown as web page/site
good point. markdown as web content is widely used, but not whole web page. the project is a sample to use markdown as whole page by putting web element (header,ment,theme) in frontmater.

casualwriter··on Show HN: Markdown as document, by casual-Markdown-doc.js
underselling? thanks :) yes, it turn a markdown document into a nice-look html webpage (with TOC and scrollspy), by adding the following 4 lines at the beginning.

<!DOCTYPE html>

<link href="https://casualwriter.github.io/dist/casual-markdown-doc.css" rel="stylesheet">

<script src="https://casualwriter.github.io/dist/casual-markdown-doc.js">...

<body title="your document title here...">

and it is a self-sufficient html file, which can be viewed in all browser (include IE9) from internet or local. (yes, local is also ok, u can even send by email, share by google drive, etc..)
