Yah I want to actually read a blurb about the topic when I click on a node


I'm curious what answer GPT will return.


Probably this one as this is the most common on the corpus it was used to train it.


GPT-3.5 returns:

    public static String convertBytes(long bytes) {
        String[] suffixes = {"B", "KB", "MB", "GB", "TB", "PB", "EB", "ZB", "YB"};
        if (bytes < 1024) return bytes + " " + suffixes[0];
        int exp = (int) (Math.log(bytes) / Math.log(1024));
        return String.format("%.2f %s", bytes / Math.pow(1024, exp), suffixes[exp]);
    }


So the code from the dude in the blog post here


Not quite. ChatGPT incorrectly mixes up SI and non-SI units.


Given how unreliable it is probably, 418 - I'm a teapot.


I can give a basic example of why chat-based UI will not dominate.

Let's say I want to change a setting that uses a traditional radio button UI:

- Autoscale servers - Manual scale servers

It's much easier to discover, understand the options, and make a decision via a radio button UI than to ask for my options via chat. That would look like:

"I'm having load issues on my servers. Can you increase the server capacity?" "Sure! Do you want to autoscale or manual scale?" "What's the difference? Are those the only two options or are there more?" "There are only these 2 options. The difference is..."

That's just a worse UX.


But it's not either/or. There's nothing that says you can't have a visual interface that adjusts based on both natural language feedback and traditional cursor-based input.

There are great examples of this in Westworld and The Expanse, with characters talking to screens to update and refine their queries.


That's just a worse UX.

So are touchscreens, especially in cars. Physical buttons are far better for the end user.

Imagine a future when all people know is blah blah to use computers, can't type, never see buttons, and barely read any more.

Now is it a bad UX?

(Before the Internet, the majority of people rarely read. And even now, most people don't read, they tiktok, they youtube.)


touchscreens aren't the dominant UX in cars, and I bet once Tesla has enough EV competition, it will get rid of its touchscreen too.


Sadly, they are becoming so.

The Ford Mustang, not the E, an ICE car, 2024, has 4? touchscreen clicks, to adjust the defrost.

There is no physical button for this.

Many new cars are this way now.


Identity online should be optional. If you read comments on a news story about an upcoming election in your country, you should see some that are verifiably a human citizen from your country, separate from everything else. Pay attention to everything else at your discretion.

I think a web that is half identified and half anonymous would work well.


Based on this following article and my experience, I think there is something here.

I don't know why people give so much favoritism to carbon-based intelligence. One row lower on the table, silicon, is just as viable.


We havent discovered silicon based lifeforms.

(Don't say transistors, because you know these are completely unrelated and mere coincidence)

It’s very clear you are not a user of GPT4.


As an AI language model it is not possible for me to smell cheese.


Can it fetch me a beer from the fridge?


In organization chart data, there are people with cute names (John, Jane) and there are positions with descriptive names (Head of Product, Head of Sales).

People's responsibilities change but their cute name does not. But you might not know everyone's cute name, and you want to know who to talk to when something was sold that can't be fulfilled. So you look up Head of Sales in the org chart.

Perhaps having two names is what is needed as in organization charts.


Why is this identical to Stripe’s layoff letter https://stripe.com/en-ca/newsroom/news/ceo-patrick-collisons...?


I find it interesting how people always judge products based on their v1.

Yes it has flaws, but early adopters will put up with it, and future iterations will be much better. I think we need to ask ourselves whether, if some things improved, this is a good idea.

And I like it.
