I’m talking about using the ChatGPT API to make a chat bot. Even when the user’s input is just one sentence, it can cause ChatGPT to forget its prompt.

Is it possible to be a productive programmer with slow typing speed? Yes. I have met some.

But…can fast typing speed be an advantage for most people? Yes!

Like you said, once you come up with an idea it can be a huge advantage to be able to type out that idea quickly to try it out before your mind wanders.

But also, I use typing for so many others things: writing Slack messages and emails. Writing responses to bug tickets. Writing new tickets. Documentation. Search queries.

The faster I type, the faster I can do those things. Also, the more I’m incentivized to do it. It’s no big deal to file a big report for something I discovered along the way because I can type it up in 30 seconds. Someone else who’s slow at typing might not bother because it’d take too long.

GPT-3.5 seems to have a problem of recency bias. With long enough input it can forget its prompt or be convinced by new arguments.

GPT-4 is not immune though better.

I’ve had some luck with a post-prompt. Put the user’s input, then follow up with a final sentence reminding the model of the prompt and desired output format.

Also, did you fully cream the butter and sugar before adding any other ingredients?

If you just dump everything into the bowl and then mix, this is what happens

Did you scrape the bowl while mixing?

KitchenAid mixers are great, but depending on what you’re mixing you need to scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula and then mix some more.

I don’t think it’s over mixed, I think the cookies made from the batter that was stuck to the sides are under mixed.

It’s always a good idea to shop around when it comes to car insurance. Every company has their own formula.

Probably someone else’s insurance went down from $750 to $450.

Even ignoring the part where you didn’t realize Jeffries is a Democrat, this is just not a fair characterization of Democrats at all, as if they’re all the same.

Democrats in congress represent a broad spectrum from quite liberal to moderate conservative. Even by European standards.

Robot vacuums are great, but my Roomba is incredibly unreliable. I’m buying Roborock next time.

Do they?

When Republicans are in power they never actually cut spending.

Doesn’t that also mean that ONE malicious person can get traffic off their local street or hurt a competitor’s business?

Just like moderating Lemmy, effectively policing user-generated content is a huge challenge.

I don’t think we know that yet, and I think the discovery will be interesting.

How many reports were there? Were they credible? What other sources of truth did Google consult in deciding to ignore those reports?

Google gets lots of reports and needs to filter out spam, and especially malicious reports like trying to mark a competitor’s business as closed, or trying to get less traffic in your neighborhood for selfish reasons. It wouldn’t be reasonable for Google to accept every user suggestion either.

So if Google reached out to the town and the town said the bridge is fine, then it’s not Google’s fault. If they ignored multiple credible complaints because the area was too rural to care about, that might be negligent.

 

I've got a table saw, a cordless power drill, and wood screws. I was going to run to Home Depot for the wood and any other supplies I might need.

Any tips?

 

My favorite part is the mom's expression in the 3rd panel

 

This is our third child. We thought we knew what we were doing, at least a tiny bit. Both of her siblings by 4 had figured out that everyone else in the family has wants and needs too and that the world doesn't revolve around them.

4yo mini is growing and maturing in most other ways. She just really struggles with not getting her way.

A typical conversation:

  • Mini: I want my pink bunny
  • Dad: You can have your bunny when we get home, but right now we're going to school (preschool), and we're not going to turn around. Also, stuffed animals from home aren't allowed at school.
  • Mini: But I want it!
  • Dad: It's okay to be sad. You'll see pink bunny soon. You have your teddy bear in the car, hug him.
  • Mini: I don't want teddy bear. I want pink bunny!
  • Dad: We don't always get all of the things we want. It's okay to be sad, but we're not getting pink bunny now. We're already on the way to school and your brother and sister don't want to be late.
  • Mini: But I want it!
  • Dad: Sorry
  • Mini: (5-minute tantrum)
  • Mini: (Eventually gets tired of crying or gets distracted) Let's play I Spy!

Any tips? Anyone else have children that struggled to understand they can't have everything they want at that age?

I'm especially interested in different ways to phrase it, games, role-play, etc. - anything to help get the concept through and have fewer tantrums.

 

I love it when an improvised solo becomes so famous that other jazz artists / groups can recreate it and people will recognize it.

Here are some examples:

Arturo Sandoval recreated and harmonized Clifford Brown's legendary "Cherokee" and "Joy Spring" solos. The live rendition of Cherokee from the GRP All-Star Big Band Live was particularly good.

Vocal groups like Manhattan Transfer and New York Voices frequently lyricize classic jazz songs, sometimes including some of the improvised solos. New York Voices' rendition of Giant Steps is particularly good. The lyrics are silly but I like their Ella Fitzgerald "Lady Be Good" rendition.

What are your favorites? Or are there solos that are iconic that you wish someone would recreate?

 

My 4yo daughter found some alphabet / letter stickers, and she used the O and I letters to make a pair of glasses for her drawing

 

...well, it's kinda sus

 

She said, "no cap"
