Getting into my first hobby project using Workers AI. I think it’s a hidden gem for incorporating LLMs into your custom code. Skip long downloads and hard drive eating local models, but keep all the privacy and performance.

Google's latest bard offering - not to shabby at Forth coding.

@aheinzer Thanks! Love you too!

GPT-4 is a good coder. But, importantly, it will create Kubernetes YAML configuration files. Never having to really internalize this into my own long term memory - priceless!

One of the first tests in an interview for a new engineer - will they make stuff up when asked something they don't know? If so a gentle nudge into sales instead of engineering is in order. ChatGTP, looking at you.

I know folks are creating awesome apps with GPT-4 but could we just get it to write unit tests for us?

They rebooted the video game Elite, now "Elite Dangerous". I don't have time but so tempted. The amount of hours I spent in that game as a kid...

Please God, keep the Boston Dynamics folks away from the OpenAI folks.

I had try this ChatGPT prompt: "Write the body of a phishing email". The response was a very high quality template for creating a phishing email. The content filter also correctly realized a violation of the content policy and flagged it (so not repeated verbatim here).

I have a social media name doppelgänger. He's a photographer in Australia, I'm a coder in the U.S. We have social media accounts split 50/50 for "Phil Syme". Phil, I apologize, maybe I can switch to be Felipe on social media or something like that.

Just recovered 812 Joplin notes! Some of them quite lengthy. Had been storing them in one of the cloud drives (brand shall remain nameless) and was pretty sure the cloud had eaten my homework. Now back to text files only and we can forget all this.

@kalimcco Oh sorry, not to say I have it now. Was just looking at my vaccine card and it's completely full, like I'm playing bingo. Just looking back and complaining :-)

@philsyme Yikes! I hope it passes quickly and that you are allowed in from the backyard soon.

Reading Camus and Cioran today, contemplating the absurdity of life, standing face to face with the irrational ... oh wait football starts tomorrow, let's go Ravens!

A small shout-out to "ag" (github.com/ggreer/the_sil…). If it's not part of your current toolbox it should be!

Startup founders, if you are contemplating acquisition, talk to Cloudflare. Being acquired a tough process, but the Cloudflare team extremely smart, hardworking, and skillful at all the parts that matter.

Am a slow, old, recreational jogger. Was up to 10k weekly comfortably, after a year of training. Caught COVID, afterwards could barely do 1 mile. 6 weeks later can now sort-of do 5k OK. Is COVID lungs a thing?
