There was a game from that Red Hat era that I loved so much, I *think* it was in Red Hat in that same period. It was a really simple adventure game in 2d, you could play in a window after typing/entering startx. But can't remember the name, I was 12 and it seems today like I dreamt about the game lol.

Would appreciate if anyone remembers it!

I think as with everything digital, you need to keep your information updated

I think the confusion is here:

"...we (humans) could describe ..."

Care to explain more? how is it going? how many paying customers? how did u get the first 100 users or how are u going to achieve it?

> "We're sorry, the AI says you're not allowed to have credit anymore."

genuine question: hasn't that been done already with machine learning?

edit: your point is totally valid and I agree, but this type of cruelty is not new

and its usually not enough lately... I see myself working all the time or thinking about jobs to be done.

As I’ve been saying, many companies already expect you to use an LLM to speed up coding. Tasks now can be shipped in hours, not days or weeks.

In other words, for the vast majority of people: work (code) or starve to death.

"It’s about maintaining the human element in a craft that’s increasingly automated."

I mean, what can anyone do, anyway? We’ve been on a "quest" toward the total automation of work for decades! and unfortunately these reflections are coming far too late.

didn’t anyone notice what was happening all these years?

Talking with a musician friend, he pointed out that today, studying, producing, and releasing music is almost volunteer work because the vast majority of artists will likely see no return on their investment, especially with AI flooding the music platforms, so I really expect it to happen to many other jobs.

in case anyone wondering:

Volterra also contributed to materials science, more precisely with dislocations in crystals. Always amaze me how people in the past could make huge impact in totally different fields.

honestly wondering, how do u know it was AI generated?

I think I understand what you're trying to say.

We certainly improve productivity, but that is not necessarily good for humanity. Could be even worse.

i.e.: my company already expect less time for some tasks given that they _know_ I'll probably use some AI to do tasks. Which means I can humanly handle more context in a given week if the metric is "labour", but you end up with your brain completely melted.

I built few months ago a toy project using youtube-transcript-api, but the problem is youtube block IPs after a few downloads.

All the big cloud providers are blocked by default, maybe the trick is doing proxies but then it start to get expensive.

If you have any idea of how to get away with it pls lemme know.

not sure if it's cursor's fault, but very often it doesn't give me the real or complete code of my codebase when auto editing/auto completing.

any tips?

Had a really similar experience with my dad, the only difference was that he was calling for his mom (that passed away many many years before) in the language of the country he was born. It was a really touching thing that I'll never forget.

really sorry to hear my friend, wishing you all the best!

Cool thanks for sharing your experience!

Are u taking any meds right now?

never heard of that term before, thanks!

>> Everyone reacts differently to psychiatric medication

That's exactly why I asked it here, wanted to know in average how ppl felt and how they dealt with it

>> There's a reason there are so many medications rather than one magic pill.

I know right?

>> but medical advice this is not the place for.

I already saw ppl talking about these kind of drugs here, I already saw doctors here as well, psychiatrists, etc. can't understand the censorship with the subject

I'm going to, I just wanted to know how did it worked out to other ppl

>> Why?

because the streaming business model and the convenience of having any song from any artist in the palm of your hand has canabalized any and all other possibilities for musicians that would otherwise pay better. you have a few people/fans that insist on paying for the music in platforms like bandcamp, but thats uncommon. from the user's point of view, it's the perfect world, where he pays a little to have access to the entire musical catalog on the planet.

in a serious society, Spotify (and related business models) would never exist. the profession of music producer is almost a voluntary job with negative ROI

god, the serendipity in HN sometimes is out of this world. im desperate to pratice chord progression in a more hands on way, hope this help me! ty

if you can, start right away. i've always been known among my friends as the most sedentary, lazy, and effort-averse person in the world. but five months ago, that changed, and I regret not starting sooner. it seems like you develop a self-challenge component that you'll only understand once you start

damn I wish u did it 10 years ago! I really struggled with it, was so hard to find coloring images for my daughter. now shes 14 so I don't think she will care much :)

thats exactly what I thought, I'm old enough to even remember Netscape Composer. I was 10 y/o when used it lol

Well, I must admit, LLMs made me lose the joy of learning programming and made me realize I like to solve problems.

There was a time I really liked to go through books, documentation, learn and run the codes etc. but these days are gone for me. I prefer to enjoy free time and go to the gym now

Man, exactly that. I use GPT a lot and I know what to expect in most cases, it won't solve all your problems, it probably will solve a few and not in the first iteration.

perhaps my ignorance and my beginner level on the topic are biasing me, but in my experience, fine-tuning the GPT-3.5 turbo has elevated our operation to another level. When we put it into production, it became much faster, more accurate, and cheaper when compared to original gpt4. Our use case is to make unstructured data return a JSON with some key-value entities where the order matters.
