I work with some Indian colleagues, and when I heard something about the caste system, I decided to look up some of my colleagues' names. I found that most of them come from higher-ranked castes, while a few are from lower-ranked ones. However, I can confidently say that all of them excel in their jobs.

I hope that both the Indian people and the government can take more steps to promote equality. The current situation is unfair to those from lower-ranked castes and a huge waste of human potential.

With some help by asking more questions, GPT3 can give the correct answer? Here is prompt and response: Prompt: A man sees PULL written in mirror writing on a glass door. There's a blind man on the other side of the door. 1 what should the man outside glass door do to open the door? 2 What should the blind man do to open the door, if man outside can tell blind man what to do

Response:

1 The man outside should push the door to open it, even though he sees the word "PULL" written in mirror writing on the glass door. This is because the mirror writing reverses the image, and the door is actually designed to be pushed open.

2 If the man outside can tell the blind man what to do, he should instruct the blind man to pull the door to open it. The blind man would not be able to see the word "PULL" written in mirror writing on the door, so he would need to be told how to open the door.

More questions can help human think, and it works for AI as well.

For the translator job, that is already the reality. I saw Chinese students major in English and translation post comments in social media that company are already asking the employees to first ask ChatGPT and then review the response. It's true that there are few top students can do better in translating than ChatGPT, but it was told that only students are outstanding in both English and Chinese can do it.

There are hundreds of thousands of people making their living on translating, and now most of them need to find something else to survive now.

That's true, foreign company, from tech company to manufacture company, all of them provides more friendly working environment than China local companies. The workers in Shanghai Tesla work 12 hours a day, and paid less than 1500$ a month, which might be unacceptable for western labors, but even this is much better than other local car manufacture companies.

I know much of western people agree with Trump's decision to ban ByteDance and Wechat, and it's fair to me when it's based on reciprocal. But actually, ByteDance and Wechat(Tencent Holding) was and is growing more like a US company then a company with China Communism background. A lot of employee of ByteDance/Wechat are engineers like the engineers in hackernews. Even the CEO of bytedance, Zhangyiming, is now cursed in China for earlier friendly voice to US and western world. I mean, why hurt the companies and engineers are or was friendly to US. The recently ban action is turning friend to enemy, why not put the punishment to other unfriendly subject or entity.

I really hope there will be a sql formatter like prettier for javascript, I have tried Intellij's sql formater and mysql workbench's sql formatter, neither has some warts.

Kotlin reminds me of coffescript to JavaScript.
