What can compel a person to think something like this could be a good idea?
I think the website itself has that product. But why would it be enabled on their blog... I don't know.

This approach to remove bad search suggestions manually reminded of a different approach Google once took, where they weren’t satisfied with manually tweaking search results but rather wanted to tweak the algorithm that produces these results when there were bad results.
'Around 2002, a team was testing a subset of search limited to products, called Froogle. But one problem was so glaring that the team wasn't comfortable releasing Froogle: when the query "running shoes" was typed in, the top result was a garden gnome sculpture that happened to be wearing sneakers. Every day engineers would try to tweak the algorithm so that it would be able to distinguish between lawn art and footwear, but the gnome kept its top position. One day, seemingly miraculously, the gnome disappeared from the results. At a meeting, no one on the team claimed credit. Then an engineer arrived late, holding an elf with running shoes. He had bought the one-of-a kind product from the vendor, and since it was no longer for sale, it was no longer in the index. "The algorithm was now returning the right results," says a Google engineer. "We didn't cheat, we didn't change anything, and we launched."'
reminds me of this time we kept getting bugs in our app from a super old android phone from 2011. we could never reproduce it with any other hardware. There were only 4 users with this phone. We spent weeks trying to fix it but couldn't. I suggested we buy the 4 users a refurb phone from another brand. Would've cost like $300 total. Nope, not allowed. Something about not giving up as engineers.
We spent 3 weeks trying to fix it, which equaled $4500 in just my salary. we never ended up figuring it out.
As someone who witnessed A-10 CAS fuck some stuff up in a combat zone ie the real “brrrrt” I’ve been mystified by the meme and current useage. No one knows where it comes from nor the slaughter it represents.
as intense as a a10 might be, it's short lived and only affects a few dudes on the receiving end. When the federal reserve goes brrr, it has far reaching impact that affects every single person in the global economy.
Big questions are (1) when is this going to be rolled out to paid users? (2) what is the remaining benefit of being a paid user if this is rolled out to free users? (3) Biggest concern is will this degrade the paid experience since GPT-4 interactions are already rate limited. Does OpenAI have the hardware to handle this?
Edit: according to @gdb this is coming in "weeks"
thanks, I was confused because the top of the page says to try now when you cannot in fact try it at all

After many attempts to learn different languages (Spanish, Arabic, German, Bengali) and having mixed results over the years, I started using Assimil courses and I’ve been very pleased with them. Going through Assimil French along with some comprehensible input on YouTube and I got to a high B1 reading/listening in 3-4 months. After that you can jump into tutoring on italki/Preply for speaking and then find other native content that interests you. I just wish I had found Assimil courses years ago.
The biggest resource I've ever stumbled upon was discord servers for specific languages.
During the pandemic when everyone was trying to learn languages they were popping off. Like thousands would be in servers and you could just chat with people whenever you wanted. I would spend every minute commuting, cleaning, or any time I would've usually listened to podcasts bullshitting with random people and learning how to actually speak.
I've tried italki I've tried other platforms where it's bumble for language learning. They didn't even come close to how quickly I learned there. And you can't beat free.
I joined one for Spanish and French. I'm sure they exist for others.

In the US at least once that notification that "the call may be recorded for quality assurance " happens, both parties have been notified and you're good to record regardless of the state you are in.
What do you use for recording your calls?
Is that actually true? I always thought that was one of those internet sayings that had no basis in law, ie one party, two party protections etc...

Yes! I'm looking at how to evolve this into a native SQLite extension which would dramatically improve distribution.
Hey, finally got around to reading the article. I have been grappling with the convoluted, fucked up mess that is offline first over the last 6 months. I really truly thought that this was a solved problem which the likes of facebook, instagram, etc have solved a long time ago and that there was some open source version copying whatever underlying mechanism they created.
As for the prior art, I was surprised you didn't mention watermelonDB. It sounds like what you are building but specifically for react native. I tried to use it but there were lots of really annoying api choices regarding how the querying works in the front end and their choices on how their ORM works. But the sync methodology they use seems to be sound, and as they say, they've thought long and hard about. https://watermelondb.dev/docs/Sync/Intro
The project as it is seems pretty low level. Are you planning on adding and ORM layer, or leave that up to someone else?
The last question that I always have is, how would this project create a facebook app clone? IE the user will almost always have subsets of tables that are much much smaller than the full tables the the backend has.
IE, a user should have various posts from the feed, and various users, photos, comments and liked tables downloaded for the next 30 minutes of offline activity lets say. In this system, it seems like we are syncing entire databases. But syncing small slivers of the entire system seems to be what a lot of your typical REST based apps do. Yet it is a problem I haven't been able to solve cleanly or with a unified plan of attack
Thanks
Nice! More time would be good (or a no time limit option). I like the element of being able to make inferences based on the code even if you're not familiar with it, narrowing down to a handful of candidate repos and making an informed guess - but this takes time and the 60s you get doesn't feel like enough to comfortably read the whole list of repos.
Being able to quickly eliminate languages might also be good - if you see some code that you know is Python, for example, a little filter bar would be a nice way of shortening the list. Great concept!
I wish the name of the project wasn't just available at the top. It should hide or omit files that its own name in the text
> Age and skin color, let alone sex, don't a good product make.
Is this “don’t a good product make” considered (maybe not official grammar but) “right” English grammar? I’m not a native.
It is apparently called anastrophe, but yes it is correct but not common. I figured it's a hold over from Germanic sentence structures. As far as I can think of really it's only ever used in this type of sentence "something... Does not a adjective make"
Gpt4 seems to think it has no relation to Germanic roots of the language but my gut tells me there's probably no way this ordering finds it's way to English without that history
