Does anyone have any recommendations for management trainers/coaches based in the EU? I'm looking for someone to do an in-person one day workshop for our management team.

I’m seeing WAY too many self-described “the AI guy/gal - follow me to how to leverage AI yada yada” then you look at their LinkedIn and it’s “self employed director of marketing” with a BA in Art History. Learn AI from data scientists and programmers who actually built it.

People need to stop saying "self driving cars" and start saying "self driving cars in Noto, Palermo and Mumbai" ... cause that is a real self driving car....

I made a pretty surreal game of corrupt-a-wish with GPT-4 on my blog discuss.samsaffron.com/t/corrupt-a-wi , not sure how good it is... time will tell. Thinking of other forum based games where this tech is useful.

I like the "any chunk of text -> markdown table" GPT 3.5 based helper, youtube.com/shorts/PgYdZA1, I always struggle tons with markdown tables - this is a nice flexible shortcut.

Meanwhile is chugging along with everyone working from home like we did in the Before Times.
How do we do it? We use our own Discourse instance for EVERYTHING.
Wikis, procedures, policies, task tracking, support, everything. 👍

So, my company which shall rename nameless, is OBSESSED with return to office. They track our badging to make sure we're going in.
An SVP was like, we don't want you to be on Webex calls all day that's why we want you in the office.
So all day in the office we're on Webex

It is impressive how ChatGPT allows us to build a flexible, markdown specific, proofreader with so little code.

Looking for ideas on how to teach ChatGPT API about a full database schema for text to query generation.

At Discourse we patch Rails so #pluck is up to 3x faster, updated the bench to latest Rails, would be nice to upstream this! github.com/SamSaffron/per

ActiveRecord's pluck + select generate the same exact SQL, but have very different purposes and performance. Pluck creates a simple Ruby object, like an Array of Integers, but Select creates an array of ActiveRecord objs. Select, therefore, is usually slower.
Pluck if you can.

I find it a bit chilling how much more emotional/creepy/realistic Bing is compared to ChatGPT, same prompt, very different results.

Kudos to for completely nerfing following last week's drama. I am sure there may still be hacks left, but they are certainly not trivial.

Yes indeed - we've now applied syntax_tree formatting across 80+ open-source Discourse plugins, and are hoping to apply it to Discourse core within the next few weeks. Thanks for all your work!

In the true tradition of Krampus I added more buttons and features to my "go away " button. Updated IP addresses to block, added an "auto off" schedule from 6AM -> 11AM. github.com/SamSaffron/you - really hate what YouTube is doing to my son.

Feels like YJIT in Ruby 3.2 might be the Christmas present we all wanted for another 5-10% faster Rails apps… fingers crossed.
