@iceb I use the web version as a PWA. nothing beats the native interface especially given I have several custom gpts for specific interaction loops (one for python to go translation tasks, another for the SQL generation and validation w/ pandas)

@jestdotty I think you’re the one who isn’t getting it. You are paying for these services when free alternatives exist. I’m suggesting maybe the paid alternatives might be worth your money? I don’t care either way, but I thought you should know your sound argument for why my point is pathological in nature, and is a representation of who I am, really opened my mind up, cheers m80!

@jestdotty I’d like to see you call up your ISP now and tell them you’re finished with throwing money at the “internet connectivity” problem. Sell your dev machine too, your public libraries computer will work just fine. Spending money on critical services when free options exist is so upper management!

@tosensei no disagreements there, AWS docs distinctly read more like legalese than API docs, but my OP was about GPT 3.5 vs 4, the latter of which only a year ago, reached top HN because it could sort of pretend to be a Linux VM. Cool fun toy, and many devs still think it’s a fancier version of cool fun toy.

ChatGPT w/ GPT-4 is an indispensable dev tool is my point.

@thebiochemic I think I get what your saying — is it that most devops could be done with a simple docker compose file (or equivalent) on a bare metal server, instead of rushing to build a labyrinth of AWS services and slapping a “Infrastructure” label on it?

@thebiochemic just some fanta banter, though maybe I went too far and came across as a dick.

I am actually curious though, why do you think AWS is overhyped?

@thebiochemic don’t fully agree. some things like satellites need to be well above the cloud and moving sideways reallllllly quickly. i suppose it would be cool to not have to set up shops all over the globe to talk to your satellites. maybe even awesome if that could be done through an API

Also a fully loaded AWS snowmobile beats “the cloud” by several orders of magnitude on coast-to-coast data transfers and can be configured to be explosive resistant.

AWS is a bit more than EC2 and Redshift

even if your response actually was relevant to my point, I’m sorry but what other cloud infrastructure company lets you use an API endpoint to deploy a Mission Control centre? https://aws.amazon.com/ground-stati...

I’d say it’s a bit less spiritual than “selling your soul” and more like the intellectual equivalent of sex work.

gpt 4 is at least as useful as having a second developer. there are sooo many “hidden features” in ChatGPT plus / gpt 4 - file attachments make python to Go translation 10x faster. you can get it to generate SQL queries, and validate the query results w/ generated python pandas/numpy code that it will run in a sandboxed runtime. custom gpts let you create tightly bound interaction loops that dont need regular “did you forget my database schema from the start of this chat?”.

In comparison 3.5 is a cute toy that can pretend to reverse arrays.
