Agreed! This is such an amazing use case for developers. You can explore ideas with ChatGPT without having a code editor in front of you, and this is so much better than my previous methods of quick notes, pseudocode, etc. The thought that you can work with ChatGPT for an hour or two and have a very-refined application ready to put together when you get to a computer, it's a totally different connection than I've felt to software development.

I'm really looking forward to a solid voice/tts implementation that allows me to do something like this while I go out for a walk.

It's the doomer narrative around GPT, nothing to see here.

If banks aren't allowed to fail then they become some kind of protected entity. Are you saying we should just let it happen?

If they had money they would publish an audit, even if not required to do that to continue operations?

> why on earth is anyone leaving anything on an exchange for longer than it takes for the deposit, transaction, and withdrawal to clear.

I've never advised my dad to take his crypto off of Coinbase, and he's been keeping it there safely for about six years at this point. It's the best place for him to keep it, for better or worse. I'm not there to transfer everything to a ledger as he trades, and I also don't really want to take responsibility for all of his funds anyway. If he started trading on Binance US (not gonna happen) then I would probably just tell him to send it to Coinbase. I don't keep my crypto on exchanges, but for a lot of people, it really is better than the alternatives.

I did try Manjaro, it was definitely more user-friendly. Still not what I was looking for, unfortunately.

> You specifically chose a high maintenance distro?

I guess so? Overall Arch was pretty easy to maintain, I just got tired of bailing on friends because I needed to spend hours figuring out some random issue.

> I can't imagine having to deal with this kind of things on a daily-basis while trying to actually get stuff done.

I switched from Windows to Arch Linux on Thinkpads for about 15 years and had a great time and learned a lot, but dealing with things on a daily basis was why I switched back to Windows 10 a few years ago, along with a new gaming habit during the pandemic. Gaming on Linux with Steam is wonderful these days, but the daily overhead of random stuff to deal with was too much when sometimes I just want to play games.

>I don’t think the existence of this tool in and of itself will scare them into behaving better - they’ll probably just try their best to work around it

they pretty much certainly will not behave better. the LAPD will always exist as long as LA does, and it will always have the power.

> But we'll keep on regardless, no matter how many poors have to suffer.

this you or ChatGPT?

> Also, I feel…strangely at peace, and less bothered by the things that usually stress me - achievement, health, the economy, whatever. The moments we’re living in and about to live through are going to be so unimaginably great(good and/or bad) those all seem so inconsequential.

Why so optimistic? Not trying to drag you down to my cynical level but I'm not sure I understand what is putting you at peace, the unimaginably great, good and/or bad? It feels something like the very early days on the internet, how we all knew it's going to change everything and probably for the better, but I'm not sure what we have today is what people were imagining back then. We're definitely not living in some kind of tech utopia now compared to where we were 25 years ago.

> There's zero way Disney will want any chance for their materials to not be copyrightable.

Surely you can see how easy it is around this? Even if it was a "prompt" that originated the design of a Disney character, they wouldn't try to get a copyright on that.

It's weird to see the negative response to this title. Maybe it's a reaction to people attaching a title to something they feel like everyone should be able to do. "Dog trainer" is a title because many dog owners can't or don't want to go to the effort to train their own dog. It seems like the same reason why an organization might pay someone to be a prompt engineer, for now anyway.

It's sad but a big chunk of what people spend their time on nowadays whittles down to a bet. Sure crypto is one example, but you can easily find yourself in similarly scammy territory in more regulated markets. Where you live, how you live, even where you work is a bet on how much you think you're worth vs how much the market values your work. Where you stick your retirement funds is a bet hoping for a prosperous post-work life. A normal sequence of life is looking more like a series of bets, to me anyway. Maybe it was always like this, but people just didn't look at it that way quite as much?

> In the end I have this feeling that GPT is on a level of 7 year old with an access to vast library.

It's probably more like a 14 year old but I think you're probably right. It can give step-by-step instructions and even the code to set up entire web apps, but it's only when you go through those steps that you find the issues. Packages out of date, less-than-optimal ways of handling non-obvious cases, and I've even found it trying to use javascript functions that have never existed. To its credit, it apologizes and tries again when I call it out. Maybe GPT-5 will be the real one to worry about.

> the price of housing is what it is no matter who the buyer is.

what can one do but suppose this is true, wonderful.

> That is very different than being angry that the Compte du Whatevertheheck inherited a chateau from his parents. And it requires a different response than fulminating about how the "landed gentry will have to be brought to heel" which is total nonsense.

hold up. take a moment to consider that "landed gentry" might change as a demographic and we're suddenly allies.

> We have no "landed gentry."

It's just a bit less immediately tangible than it used to be. It's still there, and the market still ebbs and flows.

> In fact it may be unrealistic to expect a "daily" game to have that.

Why? Plenty of roguelikes and -lites have daily seeded runs. The genre is pretty much optimal for a "daily" format.

> Is a man with a fantastic vision he is unable to instantiate, an artist?

I haven't seen the film but this is the defining part of the "artist" title for me. It's not that he wasn't able to instantiate his vision, but he made an attempt and that attempt had an impact on others. That is the art, and it's all performance. The instantiation doesn't matter so much as a message with receivers. If the receivers of whatever happened with his Dune weren't there, then I guess I would still call it something like a "lost" art. Still art, but unrecognized as such. And I'm not sure that would have mattered to the artist anyway.

I'm trying to look at it as a powerful new tool like modern IDEs that can make a lot of people's workflow more efficient. If the question comes up in an interview, they're just asking if you have experience with this new tool their team uses, and comparing how you use it to their process. Similarly not having experience with an IDE like Visual Studio might not be a dealbreaker, but if there's another candidate with a ton of experience then it could tip the scales in their favor. Long way of saying, I would try to stay optimistic and just play around with it enough so you can at least bullshit about it if you still don't want to use it.

Which stuff in DFW's essays did he make up?

This one isn't memorable's original post on the bearblog -- if you click the username in the posted link, there is a contact form to the person in the situation. Very nice of you to offer help <3

to "be yourself," sure you don't need drugs. it's the finding yourself part.

yeah so, I guess you're saying let it have free reign over us until we figure out how we feel about it. wonderful.

> When individuals are responsible for the theft, loss, or unauthorized disclosure of PHI, the most common consequence is the loss of employment. However, in the most serious HIPAA violations, criminal charges can be filed against the individual(s) responsible.

Yep.

"comprehensive knowledge of their companies media output" is an interesting way to put it. I would really just recommend engineers maintain some sense of self awareness.

> Should an engineer be tracking what their company is telling media outlets?

Are you serious? Make sure your ass is covered if you're doing illegal shit for your company, because they're never looking out for you over the org.

> Suppose that I use a hardware wallet. Where do I hide the seed?

Split and distribute geographically, if it's worth the effort.

Same here, and when I hit page 20 it changed to "Page 20 of about 198 results (1.22 seconds)"
