Any #wagtail experts kicking around?

Postgres has a bunch of fuzzy string matching tools such as trigrams and phonetic algorithms but I couldn't find anywhere in Wagtail these are taken advantage of.

Docs keep saying if you want fuzzy match you need to use Elastisearch.

Ideally I'd like search to handle common misspellings - eg writing "vat" should get you "vets" in your search result. Or "hirse" should give you results for "horse".

Is there a plugin that does this anywhere?

Anyone got a decent list of Django bloggers? Or even one or two folks that are good to follow.

andyide,

@brianokken I write the odd blog post on djangoandy.com.

Answered a question on Hacker News about using ChatGPT for programming tasks with a bunch of my own examples... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37126182#37127206

Comments so far include "If someone on my team was doing things this unusually they’d probably be let go" and "sorry but these examples are not impressive at all and by no means a representative of any serious programmer's workload"

A lot of people out there are absolutely determined not to take the practical utility of this stuff seriously!

andyide,

@simon I love that it is very good at writing JavaScript for me, a language I don't care for.

My mother in law has just published a book entitled "The Thinking Horse Breeder".

It's is the condensing of 50yrs of breeding knowledge into a handy tome.

If you are into #horses it's worth checking out. It's available via Amazon.

Thank you!

Does anyone know of any decent 3rd party that handle video uploads?

I dont want to save the locally due to space and bandwidth issues - a 3rd party will have better costings.

Youtube tends to pixelate and Vimeo seems to expensive.

Are there any tools like this that integrate with django nicely?

andyide,

@simeon thank you

andyide,

@simeon Thanks I've sent an email to Mux sales asking some questions. It looks pretty good I reckons!

I've just released a nice little side project - Wine Name Generator!

Using the power of AI to inspire you with names for your #wine

Built with #Django and django-unicorn!

https://winenamegenerator.com/

andyide, to random

I'm thinking of making an API status page generator. Which static page generator should I use?

andyide, to random

Hmmm, I haven't heard much about Web3 lately.

I still don't know what problems it purported to solve.

adamghill, to programming

I've still been working on Unicorn, but it's been a while since there was a new release. But, there are lots of fixes in 0.51.1 to make building interactive Django websites even more magical! ✨

andyide,

@adamghill You are doing God's work mate!

andyide, to random

You are interviewing a Senior Developer - you ask them to write FizzBuzz.

They pull out ChatGPT, and prompt it for the code.

How would you take this as the interviewer?

andyide,

@carlton

Good point. Should I go for a Fibonacci sequence?

Need help naming you #horse or #horses ?

Try my Foal Name Generator - powered by Artificial Intelligence!

Now free for the public to try for a bit.

Is there any doubt that ChatGPT/LLMs will completely destroy content-based businesses?

andyide,

@adamghill

I think many will die, yes.

Personally I find that I have to write my own content so I get the voice I want.

ChatGPT has a 'tone' that is readily picked up.

andyide,

@adamghill

I agree. The hallucination thing is a big deal. Many people assume what ChatGPT produces is factually correct 100% of the time.

I just hope that valuable content is still rated highly.

🤔 Do you want to submit a talk for DjangoCon US 2023 but aren't sure what to talk about?

Here is my annual list of DjangoCon US talks I’d like to see in case it gives you some inspiration: https://jefftriplett.com/2023/djangocon-us-talks-i-d-like-to-see-2023-edition/

If your idea is not on this list, then even better! Submit it too!

#python #django #djangocon #djangoconus

andyide,

@webology

I'd love to do a talk - but most of what I do is not hugely new or exciting. I'm just using the tools (Django mainly). Is there some direction I could look at do you think mate?

andyide,

@CodenameTim @webology

Thank you!
