Sure, because he has a sense of humor.


There's "Ask ChatGPT" overlay at the bottom of the page, so I asked "how risky is giving my medical data to OpenAI?" Interestingly ChatGPT advised caution ;) In short it said: 1. Safer than standard AI chats, 2. Not as safe as regulated healthcare systems (it reminded that OpenAI is not regulated and does not follow e.g. HIPAA), 3. Still involves inherent cloud risks.

Something or someone will eventually fill the void. Chinese are trying to manufacture GPUs, they are very far from what Nvidia can offer, but they'll slowly get there. As for RAM - the new factories are being built and will hopefully become operational in 2028.

> About a billion lines of code go through Greptile every month, and we're able to do a lot of interesting analysis on that data.

Which stats in the report come from such analysis? I see that most metrics are based on either data from your internal teams or publicly available stats from npm and PyPi.

Regardless of the source, it's still an interesting report, thank you for this!


Thanks! The first 4 charts as well as Chart 2.3 are all from our data!


Depends on where you live. In Poland the house cleaning costs ~$15/h. The robot vacuum would pay itself off within a year.

But I am aware that in e.g. some parts of Asia the maid service is dirt cheap.


In the meantime "YouTube No Translation" addon fixes the issue. https://youtube-no-translation.vercel.app/


It works when you watch video on youtube, when it's embedded on other site I get the automatic translation.

I still cannot believe that Google doesn't understand that a person can speak more than one language.


I think that such feature is already available in Chrome https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/15305774?hl=en


Ah, makes sense why I need to use an extension for that:

> To use this feature, you must be located in the US


I just don't get this. Google has SO MANY THINGS that are US only. While most other companies release things to everyone (like OpenAI).

How does Google expect to compete with OpenAI globally if they keep limitting the rest of the world?


Google is an established business, OpenAI is desperately burning money trying to come up with a business plan. Exports controls and compliance probably isn't going to be today's problem for them, ever.


They don't, the Gemini crap is dead in the water and only people who care about it are hackernews people or some weirdos. For normies ChatGPT equals AI and that's that, they already won by the brand alone.

When normies hear Gemini, they cringe and get that icky feeling.

It didn't help that when Gemini came out it was giving you black founding fathers and Asian nazis.


My dad uses Gemini because it's the default thingy on his android phone - I asked him if he used ChatGPT and he said yes and navigated to Gemini. Most people really don't care that much I think.


What's not to get? Talk to your political representatives about reining in the EDPB if you want access to cutting edge features.

Or if you are not in the EU, spend more money I guess and become an attractive market.


"Ask your politicians to allow foreign companies free reign with users' data" is certainly a wild take.

It's google's choice to forgo privacy and thus a huge market like the EU. Other companies, like OpenAI, seem to manage fine.


At some point, Europe will learn that if they keep preventing international solutions without creating a climate in which similar or better local solutions can emerge, they are cutting their own nose to spite the face. There are secondary and tertiary effects of this, and eventually the 'huge market' will shrink in importance. I mean, Brazil is a huge market, and no-one cares about them thanks to brain-dead legislation concerning tech imports and economic irrelevance.


No one cares about it because you get robbed on gunpoint at the stoplights.

Again no one in Europe cares about some Gemini because frankly no one even knows what it is. They had their run with the black founding fathers and most people who tried it then dismissed it forever.

For normal people ChatGPT = AI.


I don't think this is true though. Lots of people around me use "ChatGPT" but then are actually using Gemini because that's what is on their phone.


You think normies even know what Gemini is LMAO. No one except some hackernews users and weirdos know it.


Maybe those features are illegal in every other country.


Its not by choice


Lots of cheap (and good) Chinese alternatives entered the market recently but I'd say Victorinox is still going strong. In Poland it's sold everywhere and the brand is very recognizable.


I am not sure what you mean by "buyer protection" but if it's chargeback then it's doable on debit cards too.


If you purchase an item on credit, it's the bank that makes the purchase. You then pay them back, 30 or 60 (or more) days later.

If there's a problem with the item, you can "return" it to the bank — after all, they own it! So in practise you can ask the shop for a refund, or you can ask the bank.

It is a stronger protection than a debit card chargeback.

As an example, I bought flight tickets from an obscure budget airline on a credit card. Months later, beyond the usual debit chargeback time limit, the airline went bankrupt — but my bank purchased that service, and isn't going to provide it! They refund immediately.

At the beginning of my career I was shitting my pants when I had to respond with "I don't know". But the more experience you have the easier it gets. Eventually you will observe that such response does not bring any bad outcomes.

FWIW I usually respond with "let me consult this with my team".
