Sounds like Digital Ocean was the problem, not Kubernetes.

Been running managed Kubernetes in GCP for years without any issues.

They are bugging me to update for some time now, but I don't think they would force an update on me.

I compared it to past translations the translators did and also my native language. That's how I gained the confidence it'd do just as well with new languages.

I've been using GPT-4 to translate my app into new languages. Saved me thousands of dollars in the past few weeks.

I used to pay translators for that, but GPT-4 translation is so good. I'd argue domain specific even better than a translator.

For me it's most noticeable when driving. Especially on the Autobahn and fast. You're guessing what other drivers will do constantly and can react way faster that way.

Oh wow that never occurred to me (from Germany as well). Gave me a chuckle.

Same in Germany.

It's interesting to see that taxes are such a big deal in the US.

I did my taxes in Germany in 10 Minutes a few weeks ago while sitting in the waiting area of our local tax office. Granted I'm just a default working class citizen without anything "special". It gets more complicated if you have some sort of other income. Not for stock investments though, because that's handled entirely by our brokers. Nothing to do there.

A step into the right direction. Win for Amazon as they have to handle less returns and win for customer as he can make informed decisions.

Just because he's rich doesn't mean he has to fund Twitter with his own money. It has to sustain itself.

Big impact: No soft drinks anymore, just water

Big impact: Reduce sugar intake to max 25g a day

Medium impact: interval fasting (16/8)

Small impact: Fitness. I do a lot, but frankly fitness just doesn't have much of an impact on losing weight.

I'm 34 and keeping my weight of 80kg that way for many years now.

Unpopular opinion: I'm excited so see a social media platform trying to implement a different business model than ads and user data for a change.

In what way is driving a car different from riding a horse?

Efficiency and accessibility.

We currently have three doctors in our local town, which is already a lot for Germany. All of those are completely overworked and close to retirement age. I cannot imagine what it will like be when they're gone without replacement.

Maybe we need to reconsider our approach to this and AI can certainly play a vital role in improving the situation.

Our life expectancy may even rise, because it's much more accessible.

Mind-blowing. Really let's one imagine the possibilities in the future or even now.

Past performance means nothing.

Intel was also growing fast until it didn't. We all know why.

Especially because Google has exactly one revenue source. MSFT and other companies are at least somewhat diversified. But Google is incredible vulnerable right now.

I'm so hyped for the ChatGPT-4 API. Wish they'd give me access so I can make a lot of my workflows much easier. Especially in terms of translations.

I'm guessing the VC market was much more strict then, since you had a way higher risk if a startup didn't turn a profit.

Probably did a lot more due diligence then.

Having lived in the countryside in Germany my whole life (34 years), I noticed a dramatic decline of insects.

When I was a child, there were so many butterflies, bees and more in the summer. Today I barely see them anymore.

The most amazing thing about ChatGPT translation is, that you can even instruct it how to translate. For example "dutzen" and "sietzen" in German. I just simply tell it how it should do it and it did. Absolutely amazing. It's like actually working with a real translator.

I tried translating something from English to German (my native language) yesterday with ChatGPT4 and compared it to Microsoft Translate, Google Translate and DeepL.

My ranking:

1. ChatGPT4 - flawless translation. I was blown away

2. DeepL - very close, but one mistake

3. Google Translate - good translation, some mistakes

4. Microsoft Translate - bad translation, many mistakes

I can understand the panic.

I see. That makes sense. Thank you for clarifying.

Interesting that its viewed so critically in the US.

If documented its no problem and not uncommon at all in Germany.

In fact many business owners pay something like credit card bills personally and reimburse through the company later.

I would think they apply their normal algorithms.

If it's a good article that's upvoted a lot, it should also be linked in some places and thus get a higher search score.

I was in New York last week and couldn't believe how much office space is just completely deserted when looking out of my hotel window.

It has always boggled my mind that you're even allowed to publish ads targeting other companies brand names as keywords without being the verified owner of that company.

But I understand Google here. It's probably their single biggest income stream. Our company is using a very big chunk of our ad words budget targeting our own brand name to make sure it's on top. More than for any other keyword by far. And I imagine many others do the same.

That sounds lovely. Coming from the countryside in Germany we did something similar as children. The night sky sure is awesome.

I'm from Germany and in New York right now. Damn is everything expensive here. And everyone running around with a 10+$ Starbucks coffee all the time.

Edit: probably not a fair comparison though since I come from the countryside in Germany where everything's generally cheaper than in the cities.

I'm from Germany and it's really crazy to think just one cable is holding almost the entirety of our flight system.

Hopefully they fix it until next Monday. I'm having a flight to Frankfurt then.

As soon as I open a fresh IDE these days I immediately miss CoPilot and it's the first thing I install.

Hype or not, it's incredibly useful and has increased my productivity by at least 20%. Worth every penny.

Wow, Postgres is older than me. I never knew. Love Postgres and use is for basically all of my projects.
