I work for a firm that develops custom software in regulated industries, and we have brilliant software & data engineers in their 20's working on compliance auditing, and more specifically "Compliance Management System health monitoring."

We've be able to use a lot of AI-assisted engineering and AI in the software to solve longstanding business challenges in this space.

I won't make assumptions about where you're located, but on the East Coast US it is big business among banks, utilities, healthcare, etc.

Great read. I have fond memories of eagerly awaiting the launch of Mindstorms, having gotten to play with LEGO LOGO kits that my dad was able to bring home from the school he worked at.

I appreciate that LEGO has always leaned into programmable tech for consumers.

Also, shoutout to any OG rec.toys.lego group members if any of y'all are reading.

This is the plot-line behind the Serpentor story arc in GI Joe, but they mix all the best-worst parts together into one bad guy.

"Give the kits as gifts!" and you can learn about your closer relatives /s-ish

Very anecdotal, but I feel like Uber in Costa Rica is criminally cheap. Many $4 rides.

$4 is still above their claimed average ride price though, so there must be a really high quantity of even cheaper rides coming from somewhere...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

edit: I had made a mistake, see my other comment

TinyMUSH (which is somewhere between TinyMUD and TinyMUSE if my historic memory is correct): https://github.com/TinyMUSH/TinyMUSH

Sure, or MOO.

Even better, a MOO (or any MUD) client in emacs (rmoo.el, mud.el etc), which is how I got my start with emacs eons ago.

The scene in SLC Punk where Mark (Til Schweiger) is giving a tour of his home, the LaserDisc part is one of my favorites.

Many YA readers also just lived through a global pandemic. Changes the expectations around "fiction", perhaps.

Thank you for sharing this. I’ve been working on something for editing exiting code by using GitHub Issues and Actions for prompting, with the response from GPT as a Pull Request/Comment on the Issue[1]. I will definitely try out your project!

Thanks for sharing your project. I've certainly been thinking along the same lines. I've used my tool aider to solve a couple of issues filed by users:

I’ve been experimenting with sliding window chunking using SRT files. They’re the subtitle format for television and have 1 to _n_ sequence numbers for each chunk, along with time stamps for when the chunk should appear on the screen. Traditionally it’s two lines of text per chunk but you can make chunks of other line counts and sizes. Much of my work with this has been with SRT files that are transcriptions exported from Otter.ai; GPT-3.5 & 4 natively understand the SRT format and the concepts of the sequence numbers and time stamps, so you can refer to them or ask for confirmation of them in a prompt.
