I’m not ready to talk about it in detail. Even my boss doesn’t know. But you’re in the right ballpark.
I’m actually building a proof-of-concept prototype for what I want to work on… and I’m using a browser extension so that I can build it independently without anyone from the tech team being involved and slowing me down.
Yes it is the paid version, and you should not wait until your budget loosens up.
This is an absolutely CRITICAL new technology. Think of it the way we think of the boomer generation when the computer revolution hit.
Some of them got on board and learned to use this new tech, and some decided it was too hard and assumed they’d never really need it.
I shit you not, learning how to really use gpt-4 has made me probably 100x more efficient at my job in all kinds of ways… most of them unexpected.
Within a few years the workforce is going to be divided between people who are super workers using gpt-4, and people who aren’t.
Someone out there is going to figure out how to use gpt-4 to take your job. So, if you’re smart, you still decide to be that someone.
And you’re already 5 or 6 months late to the party.
In my experience, what makes gpt-4 great for coding is its astonishing knowledge of available software libraries, built-in interface features, etc.
I’ll tell it the task I want done, and it will tell me where to find, and how to install the necessary dependencies.
With zero experience in browser extension design, gpt-4 helped me to build an incredibly complicated Chrome extension, using vector database; creating a custom, cloud-based server; web scraping with headless browsers, voice recognition, speech synthesis, wake-word capabilities, and a sophisticated user interface. I had ZERO experience with ANY of these.
For me, using gpt-4 was like collaborating with a just okay programmer, but one who had extensive experience with literally every programming language, API, protocol, etc.
And it was a collaboration. We would talk through problems together. I would make observations and guesses about why a block of code wasn’t working, and it would tell me why I was wrong, or alternately tell me I was right, and produce a fixed version.
Maybe your battery is a dud. I get through a day of very heavy use with 50% battery remaining.
Interesting.
I jumped into smartwatches back with the Asus Zenwatch. It was fun but terrible UI, terrible battery life, terrible processing speed. It spent must of its life in my dresser drawer.
A couple years ago, I got the Samsung watch 4, and it was a whole different story. Snappy. Great UI. Great battery life.
I haven’t seen any killer features that would make me upgrade or change brands to a new watch yet. UWB Is definitely cool, and I love to see competition, and I’m definitely open to upgrading, but even 2 generations on, in not seeing any new must-have killer features.
$20 for me.
Lol. I said I was ready to drop $10.
This Dev is really trying to milk this.
Where?
I was on Reddit for 13 years, and bought the pro version every app ever made for the platform (sync, RiF, bacon reader, boost, Apollo, Joey, etc, etc.). Sync was … fine. But in no way was it a stand out. RiF had them all beat by a mile for nearly a decade, then Joey elbowed them out in the last few years.
Anyway, I’d have been happy to buy sync Pro for lemmy, but a subscription is bonkers when there are free alternatives.
I’m fine with an ad version and then an upgrade to an ad-free version.
What’s insane here is this developer making a subscription service instead of an ad-free pro version
I mean, he’s competing against TOTALLY FREE, Ad-free lemmy apps RIGHT NOW, and every 3rd-party Reddit app developer is working on a lemmy version as we speak.
This was a total clown move. I was ready to drop like $10 on a pro version right now, if it had great UI. But a subscription … For access to a FREE service? The balls on this guy.
Lol! The choice is ads or a SUBSCRIPTION!?
My friend, we know other 3rd party Reddit app developers are working as fast as they can to make lemmy apps. One of them is bound to have a one-time pro version upgrade. I’ll hold out for that.
LMAO … Subscriptions. Why on earth do you think we left Reddit?!
Have you tried Whisper from OpenAI? It’s the best I’ve ever seen. I’m curious how it would handle accents.
