 There are a LOT of screenshots of the current Bing floating around right now where it answers questions with hilariously bad answers. This is NOT the new Bing though: this is Bing's existing version of Google's "featured snippets" The new Bing is still behind a waitlist for most people. I've attached a screenshot of that taken from this Verge article: https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/7/23587454/microsoft-bing-edge-chatgpt-ai The interactive demo for @alexgarciaxyz's new sqlite-vss extension - adding vector similarity search to SQLite - really has to be seen to be believed: https://observablehq.com/@asg017/introducing-sqlite-vss He has fast semantic search running against 200,000 news headlines and summaries and the results are fantastic: stories about Halloween returned for "scary orange holiday" for example Here's an idea for Mastodon quote posts which I don't think would upset any of the people opposed to quoting: allow me to quote just my own posts This would enable one of my key purposes of quoting: it would allow me to create navigation paths between my own content, including letting me reply to someone to point them to something I had previously answered The only downside I can think of here is usability: it's not going to be easy for people to understand WHY they can quote themselves but nobody else Made our lemon pigs for New Year's Eve! https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/lemon-pigs-new-year 🍋 🐷 #LemonPig Apparently there are people out there who think it's inappropriate to use Mastodon to talk about books you've written or promote projects you've worked on because it's marketing and self-promotion? I am not one of those people. I implore you to write about the work you have done and the things you have made - I want to hear about that stuff!

  @simon Mastodon is filled to the gills with folks who want to police toots. Unless you’re running a scam, self-promote away, I say! Ignore the haters. Accidental bonus: I typed my blog entry in VS Code with GitHub Copilot enabled, and at one point Copilot itself helpfully started suggesting crimes for me! The 25 minute video for my #DjangoCon talk is out: "Massively increase your productivity on personal projects with comprehensive documentation and automated tests" I've posted the video along with an annotated version of the talk - with notes and links for each of the slides - here on my blog: I've decided to extend my personal rule that "the price of doing a project is that you have to write about it" to cover talks as well! We got safety vests for our chickens when we were having our new patio built - here's Azi briefly wearing one (she wasn't a fan)

If you see a screenshot like this one you can dunk on it all you like but it's NOT the new GPT-3 enhanced Bing: this is something a Bing has been doing poorly for a long time in its existing form
