this is the delicate art of prompt design :)

! need to get you as my QA lead!

oh that's a fun idea! need to figure out how to handle totally inappropriate content but...

around 500 words. quite long!

Sometimes dreams are obvious.

Other times you need nightcap.guru.

a lot of trial and error. need to follow folks discussing prompt design to find out what kinds of things will work. no substitute for trying many examples.

appreciate the design feedback! lots of room for improvement on the overall look and feel for sure. good idea to provide hover states. and yes! it is a dream log!

the dreamer and the dream are inextricable.

i have a few accounts by accident... it is a coincidence i posted from this one!

i'd like to think i did a bit more work than that :). gotta get the prompt just right!

haha so true!

That would be another good one! Could even combine your horoscope and your dreams :)

Was trying to think of a good use of GPT3 -- something that generates very convincing text but that can sometimes be wrong in important ways. If only there was an industry that was more about sounding convincing and less about right and wrong...

sorry it's so long!

show me a neurological study comparing passion/obsession with substance addiction!

what is the claim here? that some great leaders were addicts, so addiction is a trait of a great leader? please. it is interesting to note that some can simultaneously battle substance addiction and lead productive lives, but nothing in this article even remotely resembles proof of causation.

that said, i can believe that the greatest thinkers and inventors in human history are those that were completely obsessed (addicted?) with what they were doing. people can become addicted to pursuing their vision, and in this sense the article has some merit. not well communicated however.

agree with almost everything said here. UI needs to feel simpler / more approachable. from what i can see, your service may indeed make taxes easier to file, but your website doesn't feel easier to use than any other website. it should keep its professional feel for sure, but it really needs to feel like its much easier than the competition.

great examples of this: squareup.com, tumblr.com. both of these websites take often tedious and complicated tasks and make them feel ridiculously simple.

really cool man. is there a landscape view? also i feel like it makes more sense for the current call to have other current convos in the margin instead of all online contacts. that way you can easily toggle through conversations. that would also require a "contacts" menu option, which could replace the "chats" menu option. awesome stuff though :)

Check out various scala frameworks :) Also there are some pretty sophisticated PHP frameworks out there for less experienced developers.

the way you're thinking of classes is very romantic and idealistic. another way to think of them that may better model the way employers think about your GPA is to think of your GPA as a signaling game in game theory. your GPA is less of a reflection of what you know and more a reflection of your ability. if you have a high GPA you've demonstrated yourself to be a high ability intellectual, whereas if you have a low GPA you've demonstrated yourself to be a low ability intellectual. in this model the content of the class is completely irrelevant, but some employers may just be trying to employ based on potential ability, rather than on specific knowledge base or content exposure. for this reason, a kid that failed 99 classes has "signaled" that he is a low ability type. while this kid has great resolve and has probably been exposed to some interesting things, it is unlikely that his ability is very high, and therefore employers would not be psyched about hiring him.

obviously this kind of model gives a very bleak valuation of education, but i think its a thoughtful one that probably is truer than we'd all like to think.

wrong. the idea is that if you have a good time, yale will look the other way when it comes to your academics. the better your time, the less the school cares about your SATs. the idea is extremely applicable to everything in the real world, where excellence in one dimension compensates for mediocrity in another in the eyes of others. think attractive girls or star football players. a valuable life lesson.

Do the iPad's only fetch data from a host iPad or can anyone with any of the iPads change the data that everyone is seeing?

This would be incredible for online classrooms.

I heard Color was using this technology to determine whether people were angry, disappointed, or just waiting for something interesting to happen when using their app.

The problem with charging from day 1 is that the entry cost on the Internet is so low. That means that even if I make a great product and start charging for it, someone else can easily make a copy-cat product and make it free. The logic behind charging in version 2 or 3 is simply that by that time there will be a loyal customer base that would not be as easily swayed by a free copy-cat product. This has nothing to do with being a "sell-out" in the startup community, it's just about being an aware entrepreneur.

If Bob is so invested in selfless help, why doesn't he drop some cash and build a fence to permanently keep the elephants out?

Also, to those suggesting that killing this elephant is chill because it fed a lot of people, I'm pretty sure there are more cost effective ways to feed people than mobilizing an elephant hunting squad.

Looks like the king of open is realizing that Apple isn't evil, it just has better foresight.

also longer and richer content might get pushed aside by shorter gawker style content. wikipedia should be ok though... =)

i wonder if this will promote junk content. if paris hilton starts popping up over paris france when you search paris there might be a big issue here.

Hard to think that Apple won't outdo this in the next few months...

this is exactly correct. kudos to Apple for having the foresight on this one.
