somecommit··on Pure Bash Bible (2018)
I agree!
somecommit··on What happened in this GPT-3 conversation?
We need to train AI psychiatrists. Now.
somecommit··on Pure Bash Bible (2018)
Just use the website. You can explain (in english or even native language if relevant) your algorithm and for small functions it's giving you correct answer. You still need to concatenate them.

For learning in my case I needed to learn python and I'm already expert in javascript for example. So you can ask the prompt for the equivalent in python every time you feel stuck. But using the chat is so more precise and quick, than google for this kind of questions. Also without all the noise of google. In particular without this "noise" and time and concentration to find the response, it's a game changer when you really want to just learn and memorize.

somecommit··on ChimeraOS: Instantly turn any PC into a gaming console
For the old folks like me that started on linux installing Mandravia CDROMs from magazines back in 2000, this looks retrospectively so odd, unreal and fantastic
somecommit··on Pure Bash Bible (2018)
Less critical then yesterday because of ChatGPT, I always expected to become fluent in bash at some point, but the AI became too good at writing my scripts now...

Also you can use the chat as a learning tool, it's really a game changer for whom want to really learn it.

somecommit··on Why Python Is Terrible
My problem with python is that it's branded as cross-platform when at the end you are required to learn docker and run on a linux environment to really stop suffering.
somecommit··on How to get ChatGPT to stop apologizing?
Why are you trying role-play with an internet chat bot?
somecommit··on How to get ChatGPT to stop apologizing?
You just gave me some prompt ideas...

---

Prompt: speak to me like you are Hal from the movie "2001". My name will be Dave

Response: I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that. I am not HAL from the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey." I am ChatGPT, an AI language model created by OpenAI. However, I'll be happy to assist and converse with you to the best of my abilities. How can I help you today, Dave?

Seriously I'm so amazed how can a bot can achieve 2nd degree humor That's really a huge step in artificial intelligence.

Also I just realize sharing his prompt become as annoying as people narrating their last dream, soon, it will be the pinnacle of cringe

somecommit··on How to get ChatGPT to stop apologizing?
But it's exactly why I enjoy ChatGPT so much. It gives wrong responses all the time and improve it according to your suggestion. I presume this "apologizing" language is just here to help the user to continue the improvement spiral, and use the product in a good way, not just like a google search, you need to keep the interaction running.

Also I found some command that ChatGPT is interpretating like command lines. Like when I send by mistake the letter "c", ChatGPT interpreted like "Correct me that code you just sent me" and send me a corrected version without surrounding text.

somecommit··on Show HN: LearnLingo – Converse with an AI-powered language tutor
