Testing GPT-4 spatial reasoning and comprehension
I run experiments to determine whether, or to what degree, GPT-4 has developed an comprehension of spatial relationships. I find that it it significantly better than GPT-3.

I try to get ChatGPT to write the codes in the previous posts. It's able to write the basic message queue skeleton, but it cannot implement more complicated features such as delivery semantics with caching; also, the code crashes. C++ programmers do not (yet) need to fear for their jobs.

I write a somewhat more complicated, but still relatively simple async message queue server in modern C++20.

I argue that virtual goods such as in-game skins make more sense in a centralized walled-garden approach, and NFTs tracked and traded on blockchains are legally problematic.

I argue that a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin has a weird property: the more you buy of it, the less valuable it becomes.

I argue that anonymity, irreversibility and decentralization, while interesting technical features that implemented in a fascinating way using cryptographic primites, are not practical for real-world use.

Are cryptocurrencies really better than fiat currencies? I argue that the answer is negative.

The crypto space is a fascinating intersection of technology, economics and human psychology. However, I remain skeptical of the value of crypto tokens and NFTs. Here I explain my thought process using FTX Tokens as an example.
