I actually like the google podcasts app. It's simple, it works, no ads, does everything I need it to do. Sigh. RIP.

ChatGPT is a wrapper to the GPT Completion API with some sane defaults. With a new beta feature you can edit the system prompt via ChatGPT, but you still can't adjust the other parameters you can reach with the API.

I run a big web property with great SEO ranking, and captcha definitely does not deter the spam. A lot of this spam is posted by actual humans.

Calling them a liar publicly when you didn't have all the context definitely counts as asking them to do emotional labor for you.

This type of interaction is exactly why I stopped running communities online. People thrust their expectations upon you and then expect you to do either mental labor to meet those expectations, or emotional labor to make amends for not meeting their expectations that you never consented to in the first place. It burnt me out very quickly.

Tidal Labs | Remote (USA) | Full Time | Small Team

Hiring: JS/React and PHP (7.4+) engineers. Both full-stack and client services engineering.

We've been around for 12 years and quietly power various types of digital brand-meet-people interactions: on the surface, it's an "influencer marketing platform" (competitive with CreatorIQ et al), but we also power employee education portals, user generated content sites, and entire digital agencies with our technology.

We're a very small company that does high quality work and no overtime. You will be mentored, not micromanaged, but you must also be a self-starter and consistent.

Salary range $140k-$180k.

Email [email protected] with your resume and any other details you feel are relevant.

In this day and age we generally try to eschew gender roles. People who want status will seek status regardless of their gender or relationship status.

Have you ever tried reading perl code?

Was it this one? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9847283

If so, it existed for a while but shut down years ago.

IMO most people are pretty clueless and self-absorbed (myself included). This guy is just pretty open and honest about it. And it's not like he didn't learn his lessons. That bit about realizing how Martin wasn't on his personal expedition was a pretty powerful growth moment.

This is the exact technique I used to save up and pay for a wedding and a house. Consider your savings/investments as one of your monthly bills. Set a maximum balance for your checking account, everything in excess of that goes into investments or retirement fund.

Lots of criticism and 'suggestions' here... I think this game is great!

It makes me sad that the top comment on a really cool new motor design is a gripe about units.

It looks like the same company, and that looks like the same person too
