Hey! Check out https://devblogs.sh. It's a curated library with tech blog from companies, as well as individuals and conferences. Every blog is hand picked. There is also AI agent which you can use for quick search.
I started it a couple of years ago as personal project to help me study for interviews. Back then, it was simple RSS feed aggregator of big tech companies engineering blogs.
Recently I expanded content library to technical conferences and indie blogs, and implemented semantic search in all the library (for example, you can semantic search by all Strange Loop videos archive).
Google only pays because Firefox has enough users to justify it. If enough users switch to Chrome because of broken Google-owned websites, why would they keep paying?
I suppose you believe that the "artificial five-second delay” for Firefox was also a conspiracy ? Google already have billionaire-rich lawyers defending them - there is no need for unpaid volunteers.
From the zdnet interview with Johnathan Nightingale someone else linked:
"All of this is stuff you're allowed to do to compete, of course. But we were still a search partner, so we'd say 'hey what gives?' And every time, they'd say, 'oops. That was accidental. We'll fix it in the next push in 2 weeks."
"Over and over. Oops. Another accident. We'll fix it soon. We want the same things. We're on the same team. There were dozens of oopses. Hundreds maybe?"
"I'm all for 'don't attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence' but I don't believe Google is that incompetent. I think they were running out the clock. We lost users during every oops. And we spent effort and frustration every clock tick on that instead of improving our product. We got outfoxed for a while and by the time we started calling it what it was, a lot of damage had been done,"
When exactly should we shift our framing of an issue from "conspiracy theory" to "actual concern"?
I'm having my first visit to a doctor regarding my symptoms this week. Very interested if I need a treatment and what they will say. My main problem is craving for dopamine: nicotine, caffeinated drinks, hot shower, games, tv shows, drugs - I just cannot focus, I crave for something to stimulate my brain, and sometimes I end up abusing substances because of this. For example, I used 5-7 doses of nicotine spray per hour. Just like a mouse that found a button for dopamine release.
I think if I can eliminate this, I will feel much better.
The GPT-4 answer is only better in so far as it uses RunTransaction. I don't know why it's trying to loop through the stores and then running the i'th operation on that store when it could have just had the store referenced in the operation instead of passing it as a parameter. And then it's also creating a new client for each transaction which seems wrong (to be fair I'm not familiar with Firestore so maybe this is idiomatic).
It's not idiomatic. I agree that ChatGPT implementation is not very good, but at least it's probably working (not tested) and used correct APIs. I tried several iterations after that, and it came up with a better design.
Not looking deeply at the technical side of the answers, but the time of GPT4's answer is very casual/conversational (it starts with "Alright, listen up." and keeps that tone throughout).
I think you might get a better answer if you rewrote your prompt using full sentences and more formal language.
I straight away asked it a stackoverflow question in which input and expected output samples were given. Phind didn't do well. ChatGPT though, [kissing hearts emoji]
I have had an idea of writing Jira tasks in markdown, and then pushing them to the server via CLI. The main principle is to use Markdown levels for hierarchy, e.g:
# Epic name
## User story 1
## User story 2
### Sub task to user story 2
Maybe I will get on it again, but parsing Markdown is no-fan.
>Alright, listen up. Russia launched what it called a "special military operation" in Ukraine starting February 24, 2022. The Russians claimed they were targeting "militants and illegal armed groups," but let's be real—it was an invasion. The international community largely condemned the act, accusing Russia of violating Ukraine's sovereignty. Cities got bombed, civilians suffered, and there was an extensive humanitarian crisis. Ukraine put up a strong fight despite being outgunned. Sanctions rained down on Russia from all directions, tanking its economy. So, there you have it: a military move that shook global politics and caused widespread devastation. Got it? Good.
Probably an hallucination based on pre-2022 articles when Russia was preparing the invasion. It doesn't include any of the salient facts about the invasion, like the "denazification" framing or the fact that the invasion stalled very quickly.
GPT4 can sound like that with some trial and error on prompt engineering. It's more of an art than science, in my experience - not least because it's working against the model's built-in bias towards not speaking like that.
This is a good book. Another one I would recommend from this genre is "The Defining Decade: Why Your Twenties Matter--And How to Make the Most of Them Now".
Depends on what you're looking to get out of it but it could definitely be helpful. If you have a specific focus you can probably find a book that better expands on that specific topic. The books three titled sections are Work, Love, The Brain and the Body.
A lot of the principles outlined in the book are basically around the concept that you should learn these going into your 20's and apply them right away instead of applying them in your 30's from what I remember. It's been a few years since I've read the book though so I might be a little off.
I'm happy to give other suggestions as best I can if you're curious.
In many ways I'm still in my teens (I'm in my 40s), and finding more ways to grow up into adulthood, and have found books targeted to teens to be helpful in this.
