Honored to contribute to the Rails/Ruby community -
@planetargon 's 2024 Rails Community Survey results:
5 of the top 10 books (and a special mention) are PragProg titles.
FYI - these titles (and all #rubyonrails titles) are currently 40% off with code RailsWorld2024. pragprog.com/categories/ruby…

Finally, for once in my life, I can seize the opportunity to say "I told you so".

All that work aligning #ChatGPT resulted in a model that's… too eager to please. See my abuse of a context-seeded chatbot below.
Granted, this is just an example bot. But if real companies start using GPT 3.5 as a front-end, then it's going to get interesting.

I love generating "explanatory" diagrams with GPT. They'so… baroque.
"[...] making the concept more understandable."

Next week, at @TechoramaNL in Utrecht, I'll be speaking about Git and about GPT (not both at the same time, though.)
See you there, I hope!

I‘d also like to take a moment to recommend the Git tutorial by @nusco It is the best tutorial I‘ve ever seen on anything. After watching it, my understanding of Git became 10x better. Highly recommended!

Does anybody in my circle have a New Yorker subscription? I need to check out an article from the archives.

Golo, this video review is so good that it made me want to re-read my own book!
(I'll make treasure of your comments if I get to write a second edition – especially the comments on the math in the backprop chapter. I'll be clear that is all optional.)

Reading my share of academic papers recently, and I have a sincere question: why don't papers carry a publication date? Citations in a paper are literally identified by the year of publication, but the paper itself never seems to carry it. That seems inconvenient, so… why?

I'm taking my sweet time deciding how useful GPT is as a writing assistant. Here is where I'm at so far:
- It's awesome. It's like having a little editor floating over your shoulder all the time.
- OTOH, it's not a *great* editor. It talks a lot of BS. Writing is still hard.
