My number one request is still: "please rewrite this legal answer in simple language with short sentences." For this, it is amazing (as long as I proofread the result). For actual answers, eh...
I assume you're in the legal profession? Do you find, as you proofread, that you want to insert caveats and qualifiers into the "simple" language and end up with something like the original legalese?
Legal language is what it is in large part because simple short sentences are too imprecise to express the detail needed.
Indeed, a corrolary in computer science is the the reasoning behind why using the Go programming language is, in general, a major mistake.
Simple vocabularies, while attractive will inevitably fail to properly describe systems of any sufficient complexity without long chains of hard to follow low-level logic.
Any system of sufficient complexity necessitates the use of more complex vocabulary to capture all the nuances of the system. See: Legalese, medical jargon, chemical naming schemes, the existence of mathematics itself, etc..
Many laws, especially GDPR, can only be interpreted in conjunction with a lot of guidelines (WP29 for example), interpretations by the local Data Protection Authority, decisions by local and European courts, etc.
Given all of this information, I think the bot will be able to formulate and answer. However, the bot first needs to know what information is needed.
If a lawyer has to feed the bot certain specific parts of all of these documents, they might as well write the answer down themselves.
I'm surprised Gemini 1.5 isn't getting more attention. Despite being marginally worse than the leaders, its still solid and you can dump 975,000 (!) tokens into it and still have ~75,000 to play with.
I've been using it lately for microcontoller coding, and I can just dump the whole 500 page MCU reference manual into it before starting, and it gives tailored code for the specific MCU I am using. Total game changer.
Is the resulting (C) code maintainable, unit testable, do you understand it? If your answer is "I'll just ask gemini to explain it", I will laugh sarcastically and then sob for the poor people around the hardware you program for
I haven't had an issue (at least more than what is expected). I am also an EE, not an SWE. I use it for internal test systems and it has saved me tons of time that I would have had to spend combing the reference manual.
As I am sure you know, embedded code often has terrible portability and requires lots of "check the 500 page datasheet" to get stuff working properly.
All of today's support bulletins are not easy to find, with none of them listed in search engines, as the company added <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> HTML tags to the document to prevent them from being indexed by search engines.
The submission title includes "LastPass edits robots.txt" but https://support.lastpass.com/robots.txt doesn't seem to exclude those URLs and the article doesn't mention robots.txt
In addition to this being a cool project, I love the way the loading screens work. When I click on ‘click to load this panorama’ (which showed almost immediately), I expect that loading takes a while. Thereafter, you are kept updated on the loading progress, after which the panorama immediately loads. In this manner, it is no problem to wait a few seconds. Much better than just looking at a ‘loading…’ screen.
I do consulting, but not as a developer, more business growth/strategy.
I tell all my clients, you are not paying for my time spent on a specific task, you are paying for access to my 25+ years of experience, learnings, and contacts.
An email that just says "OK" might be the net result of a set of experiences and knowledge that would take the client 2 weeks and $2,000 to obtain on their own. $75 would therefore be a bargain.
I've always thought that was weird. What is the underlying reason do you think? I get 6 minute phone calls, but to then pivot to another 6 minute+ task is too granular
Suspect 6 minutes being increment has more to do with being 1/10 of an hour (easy to calculate rate) & and as fine-grained as you can get without being so obnoxious you can't track.
I do not like the way the text scroll just ‘jumps’ ahead when scrolling down after the header picture. The title has disappeared above your screen before you have time to read it. It reminds me of the Apple product pages, whereby your scroll is constantly hijacked by spinning pictures of laptops opening and closing.
