Good morning

Fantastic! Love the detail AND the light.

genRaiy09:11:36

Thanks Oliver - I had to inspect a lot of leaves 😆

Morning all!

otfrom08:11:05

Morning. Ugh. Lurgi

dharrigan08:11:34

I've been playing with ChatGPT voice this morning (which is now free for everyone)

thomas09:11:59

how do I get to that? I can't find it on the website that quickly

dharrigan09:11:23

It's an app for your mobile

dharrigan09:11:08

I'm sure there will be a Apple equivalent.

dharrigan09:11:29

I have enabled the voice that sounds suspiciously like Scarlett Johanson

dharrigan09:11:46

It's um, pretty darn good. Reminds me of the film "Her"

dharrigan09:11:07

I even asked Scarlett, um, AI voice that no-way resembles Scarlett, to talk to me about Clojure.

dharrigan09:11:11

It did a great job 🙂

dharrigan09:11:45

....it provides immutability and a consise syntax

dharrigan09:11:24

....Clojure is considered a type 2 LISP - it is a modern LISP dialect.

thomas09:11:30

aahhh it is an App.. that explains it all

dharrigan09:11:51

Sky is the particular voice - that no way sounds like Scarlett.

thomas09:11:26

it does indeed sounds like Scarlett.

thomas09:11:16

dang this can get very addictive I think.

dharrigan09:11:58

I think, in 1 year's time, it's going to be 1. phenomenal and 2. pervasive.

thomas09:11:53

I made her tell me a story about little Lego men and how they are building stuff all day long.

dharrigan09:11:05

Let me try that! Sounds fun!

I used it this morning to talk to me about neural information theory while I exercised. Initially we were talking about ancient tech conspiracy theories and somehow ended up on neurology (via the origins of art and symbolism or something). I ended up asking it a bunch of questions about entropy and information gain. Really felt like I could talk with it for hours because it's infinitely patient and fascinated by any topic I want to talk about. It's like exactly how you want Siri to respond and understand you when you chat with it

thomas10:11:18

it even used some Lego related puns for me

dharrigan14:11:58

"Can you explain how persistent data structures in the Clojure programming language works"

dharrigan14:11:19

I got a good overview of how it worked with vectors, maps and sets!

thomas14:11:22

nice... I didn't know Scarlett was into Clojure. I know Jennifer Aniston is though

dharrigan08:11:05

It's really amazing. Brave New World. It was seamlessly translating from Japanese to English (and Irish) and having conversations that felt natural!

Ben Hammond08:11:37

what does GPT stand for anyway?

jasonbell08:11:24

Giant Plausibility Trick, well I think that’s what it means

reefersleep08:11:49

Good morning!

Morning

imre10:11:12

norming!

jasonbell12:11:02

Sorting out some old stuff in the house and found an old notebook from 2014 with some notes from when I started working with @otfrom and @seb231 - including my trial by fire into Emacs and Clojure. “Yeah just jack in to the REPL”…. “WHAT DOES THAT ACTUALLY MEAN?!“.

Ed14:11:04

I like that there's no note reminding you how to quit emacs 😜

otfrom14:11:39

You can quit Emacs?

thomas14:11:17

turn you computer off and on again?

Ed14:11:20

sometimes you need to upgrade your kernel ...

thomas14:11:05

Surely there is a clever finger combination that does that for you!

thomas14:11:18

thing is you need at least 13 fingers to do that!

Ed14:11:51

my toes aren't that flexible ...
