Implementing real-time stats for minesats.gg using event streams and postgres' notification mechanism.
I heard from users they have the website open 24/7 on a TV screen.
Adding real-time stats would make the website fit this use case a lot more.
No more page refreshes required.
Also, testing capability of ChatGPT. I try to ask it as much as I can to see where it shines and where it flops.
For example, it doesn't seem to be able to find songs with slightly incorrect lyrics.
Alright, this is really crazy. It took me literally only like 30 seconds to write this half-assed prompt and the solution to my problem (which I already debugged for a minute out of instinct before asking ChatGPT) was in there: just restart the language server.
If this doesn't convince people that we are really in the middle of a massive transition to a commoditization of AI assistants, I don't know, lol
Even though it's still just trying to predict the next words.

It's pretty impressive. While GPT doesn't tend to produce working code for my line of work, I find that it usually provides a nice skeleton to build off of and often introduces me to functions / approaches I hadn't considered before.
One moment that really surprised me is when I asked it to design some electronics circuits. Generated the diagrams for me and everything. Where the hell is this thing going to take us 5 years from now? lmao

Please stop supporting that scam chatGPT/AI/bullshit.
Use your brains.

Your arguments are?

You don't have brains?

Alright, Darth, we can agree to disagree or you can tell me why I shouldn't use a tool which makes me a lot more productive while still using my brain since this tool still makes mistakes which I have to spot.

Yeah, I don't believe you.
But let's assume you are right.
Even if I don't use it, it won't stop the proliferation of AI usage in the future.
AI is just a tool. You can use it to do good and bad.
So let's use it to build good stuff, no?
reply
Again, why not just use your own brain?
Yes, AI is a tool, a tool of dumbing down. And you will see the results in 1-2 decades.
"Idiocracy" was not a comedy movie, was a documentary, a warning.
Keep using it, no problem. Let's see how your kids and grandkids will live in 20-30 years.
For the greater good of "doing good things with AI".
