ChatGPT Replace Your Dot Net Development Company

Do Dot.NET Developers Need New Skills to Succeed in an AI-Based Industry? Is ChatGPT here to revolutionize the dot net development industry? Experts believe that ChatGPT is here to revolutionize app development. From starting human-like conversations, solving privacy problems, and even writing code for programmers, OpenAI’s new tools have the power and potential to change developers’ jobs. But as the best asp.net development company in Delhi, you want to know what we think about ChatGPT.

The Hype About ChatGPT

ChatGPT was released in November 2022, more than 5 million people have registered for this free chat version, which is based on the GPT-3 family of Open AI (Generative Pretrained Transformer). Chatbot can interact with programmers as a friend and write simple web pages and programming code in JavaScript, Python and React languages. It can also find bugs and errors in code and help you create new programming languages.

ChatGPT was released in November 2022, more than 5 million people have registered for this free chat version, which is based on the GPT-3 family of Open AI (Generative Pretrained Transformer). Chatbot can interact with programmers as a friend and write simple web pages and programming code in JavaScript, Python and React languages. It can also find bugs and errors in code and help you create new programming languages. She also writes poems and songs, and suggests birthday party ideas. We strongly believe that if ChatGPT continues to do what it is doing now, it will one day replace Google. Open AI tools interact with users in a conversational way, answering questions based on past interactions, asking inappropriate questions, discussing topics, and even admitting mistakes. We believe that AI applications are amazing.

What is the Best Way to Let ChatGPT Take Over Programming?

ChatGPT is a brand-new artificial intelligence technology that can create code from natural language descriptions. This technology could eventually eliminate the need for a programmer to write code since ChatGPT could do it for them.

The primary benefit of ChatGPT can make programming easier for programmers by saving them a significant amount of time.Instead of writing codes, they can simply write down what they want to achieve with the code, and ChatGPT will handle the remainder.

This can dramatically accelerate the development process, making it simpler for non-programmers to develop software.

Another advantage could be that ChatGPT could develop better software than humans. For example, it has been demonstrated to be superior to human programmers at tasks like solving bugs.

This means it is possible to create more efficient and reliable software.

There are some drawbacks to ChatGPT. ChatGPT. One of these is that it’s still in the early stages of development, which means there will be some issues and bugs in ChatGPT.

Another reason is that they may not be able to comprehend complicated concepts or perform imaginative work as humans.

In the end, ChatGPT has the potential to replace programming in many instances. In certain situations, it could save time while producing higher-quality code than humans. But it’s still in its early days for this technology, and its capabilities have a few limitations.

Thoughts on Loris

I have more thoughts and theories than concrete understanding of his character

He either feels half-baked as a side character that had more to him or just my mind being unable to connect the dots so some of this kind of jumps around 

SO:

Loris is introduced as a sad somber guy still loosely wearing his enforcer uniform while off duty. When he meets Vi his first words are something like ‘did you lose someone in the attack’, the actions of him drinking insinuates that he most likely lost someone himself.

Appearance wise Loris has a section of his hair tied with a blue colored bead and pulled into his field of vision. It’s a stretch but when Ekko wears a colored band in his hair it’s to symbolize the ‘loss’ of Jinx/Powder in the finale episode. I think Loris wears the bead in his hair to be a constant reminder of his loss- by having it remain in his sight makes that loss a constant presence. 

Anyways, besides that Loris is shown in episode 1 to not want to go to the memorial when Vi pats him on the foot since he just closes his eyes and pretends to sleep

When he does go and the attack on the memorial happens he uses a shield, a shield that's seen discarded when Vi walks around the aftermath.  

It could be foreshadowing that he dies in battle, in episode 9 he dies the one time he doesn’t have his shield, or the shield might have some type of connection to the person he loss

Now the notes:

-His shield gets a hextech advancement

-On the striketeam he’s first to push their advances with his shield in E3, and when fighting he uses his shield to bash into them offensively,

 and later when he’s the one to first get injured and get a limp from Jinx’s traps the shield becomes a crutch and a safety net for him. (I think it’s interesting that it was only when he traveled in front of Caitlyn that he got hurt )

-Even with a limp, Loris does his best to react to shield Steb when the tunnel they climbed out of get’s Grey rerouted straight to them 

-His personality is consistently fatherly, comforting Vi, comforting Maddie when they see the murder dolls (his arrow deaths included), even comforting Vi again after being pushed away and reuniting with her without hard feelings

In that reunion scene when Vi subconsciously compares Loris to Vander we then see exactly their relationship  

-Loris seems to know his way around the undercity, keep in mind it’s most likely not from the strike team traveling because they mostly used the filtration system to get through/travel. He goes with Vi to the fighting ring and when she pushes him away he’s just fine leaving her to travel elsewhere. 

-Loris was the first to leave when the Noxus general (Ambessa) took over and began doing their saultes. I think he actually might have ties to the Undercity or had been from that side of the city before going topside to be an officer. I wish we knew what led to him taking said role, because like Steb who shows his compassion by being a medic on top of being an enforcer, Loris as only an enforcer shows it by choosing defensive gear over guns as his main weapon.

-Loris returns only when the Noxus have left/ are realized as the enemy and when he returns he returns with knowledge. It seems he might have fought them before or at least studied them. He teaches the enlisters how to fight the Noxus with a weapon that wasn’t a shield and yet he holds it easily 

- In the final episode (9) when he's using the Hextech technology repurposed as a canon, he works well with his team and Vi and I must reiterate its the only time in battle that he does not have a shield, and in the end the last time

 When Vi sees Loris dead she sees him with the side of his face that has the blue bead in his hair hanging mutely without light catching it.

 And that's his end. 

I don’t know, it’s like, I’m missing something. 

Maybe the blue is like a powder/jinx reference thing and when Loris dies and “Vander” appears and Jinx chooses to be Powder again (?) it shows that that side of Jinx is dead like how Vander is dead now that his consciousness was killed from the monster/wolf mutant thing. Since Vi saw Loris as Vander/father figure and Loris lost someone who is (PROBABLY) symbolized by the blue bead in his hair. 

It's a big fat stretch but I’m grasping at strings here and it shows lol

Hope I helped :D

𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞. 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭.

Two years on the dot. Seven hundred and thirty days. Scattered between had been some off days, but generally, Ned had lived through the better half of a thousand days of hell. An infinite seeming loop of killing and dying. Uncountable rebirths through technology. Each free moment spent trying to get a hold of his displaced parents. Each foiled plan of establishing contact fueling his belligerence. At least the village itself held enough memories to soothe him into reminiscing better days. Until the dreaded letter was delivered.

The unsigned paper informed Ned, that the buildings of Selbyen had been damaged beyond repair and the seal population had dwindled to the point that a seal-feeding-campaign was no longer a viable strategy for the company. Two small passenger airplanes would arrive the following day to take the teams “back” to the USA. Petrified of forever leaving the only place he’d ever known, Ned’s flight instinct overpowered him once more – as it did when Team Fortress Industries had first arrived – and he crammed himself beneath the floorboards in his bedroom that usually held his secrets. That night, he was the secret. An ever so disorganized stampede of indifferent mercenaries boarded the planes, navigated by administratively decreed pilots. A head count only came to one of their minds, halfway across the Atlantic at that. Short of one head – and quite ashamed of not having noticed earlier – the “bravest” member of BLU was determined by vote and pushed stepped forth to gingerly admit their mistake to their purple pilot. To not delay their arrival any further – transporting a bunch of assassins with twitching, trigger happy fingers and immense boredom was a hazardous job – administration decided to deploy their fallback. Ripped from his Manndatory vacation, The BLU Pilot was tasked to either capture and return The Net… or “terminate his contract”.

Caught staring at the horizon that’d swallowed the plane containing the teammates he’d become accustomed to, the roaring of a small two seated plane from behind him left him exposed as a deer in headlights. Hiding quickly turned out to be a futile endeavor with every meter the plane crept closer to the short rocky path serving as an impromptu runway. After short, exasperated exhortation – The Pilot really had better things to do than chauffeur this stubborn fisherman across the globe – Ned agreed that two years of torment would’ve been for naught if he were to cast away his life contract, and therefore his family’s steady income, due to such rashness. After whispering bitter farewells to the sand, the shells, the seagulls and smoking his last cigarette on Norwegian grounds, Ned and his entire life contained in solely the two suitcases they’d found in the cargo hold, entered the airplane. Eighteen hours were spent in the air – it took Ned about four of them to cast a first glance out of the window, viewing the sea from heights he’d never been at in his life – and six hours in different airports for refueling the plane, their stomachs and their minds. After countless amounts of cigarettes smoked inside the cockpit and conversations made unpreventable by the confined space, but eventually appreciated and sought out, the airplane wheels touched American ground. The Badlands await him.

[mariacallous]

Over the past few years, the United States has become the go-to location for companies seeking to suck carbon dioxide out of the sky. There are a handful of demonstration-scale direct air capture (DAC) plants dotted across the globe, but the facilities planned in Louisiana and Texas are of a different scale: They aim to capture millions of tons of carbon dioxide each year, rather than the dozens of tons or less captured by existing systems.

The US has a few things going for it when it comes to DAC: It has the right kind of geological formations that can store carbon dioxide pumped underground, it has an oil and gas industry that knows a lot about drilling into that ground, and it has federal grants and subsidies for the carbon capture industry. The projects in Louisiana and Texas are supported by up to $1.05 billion in Department of Energy (DOE) funds, and the projects will be eligible for tax credits of up to $180 per ton of carbon dioxide stored.

“It’s quite clear that the United States is the leader in policy to support this nascent sector,” says Jason Hochman, executive director at the Direct Air Capture Coalition, a nonprofit that works to accelerate the deployment of DAC technology. “At the same time, it’s nowhere near where it needs to be to get on track—to the scale we need to get to net zero.”

But support for carbon storage is far from guaranteed. Project 2025, the nearly thousand-page Heritage Foundation policy blueprint for a second Trump presidency, would dramatically roll back policies that support the DAC industry and carbon capture more generally. The Project 2025 Mandate for Leadership document proposes eliminating the DOE’s Office for Clean Energy Demonstrations, which provides funds for DAC facilities and carbon capture projects, and also calls out the 45Q tax credit that supports DAC as well as carbon capture, usage, and storage—filtering and storing carbon dioxide emitted by power plants and heavy industry. (The Heritage Foundation did not respond to WIRED’s request for comment.)

Sucking carbon out of the sky is not uncontroversial—not least because of the oil and gas industry’s involvement in the sector—but the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Sixth Assessment Report says that using carbon dioxide removal to balance emissions from sectors like aviation and agriculture is unavoidable if we want to achieve net zero. Carbon dioxide removal can mean planting trees and sequestering carbon in soil, but a technology like DAC is attractive because it’s easy to measure how much carbon you’re sequestering, and stored carbon should stay locked up for a very long time, which isn’t necessarily the case with forests and soil.

As DAC technology is so new, and the facilities constructed so far are small, it’s still extremely expensive to remove carbon from the atmosphere this way. Estimated costs for extracting carbon go from hundreds of dollars per ton to in excess of $1,000—although Google just announced it is paying $100 for DAC removal credits for carbon that will be sequestered in the early 2030s. On top of that, large-scale DAC plants are likely to cost hundreds of millions to billions of dollars to build.

That’s why government support like the DOE Regional DAC Hubs program is so important, says Jack Andreasen at Breakthrough Energy, the Bill Gates–founded initiative to accelerate technology to reach net zero. “This gets projects built,” he says. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law signed in 2021 set aside $3.5 billion in federal funds to help the construction of four regional DAC hubs. This is the money that is going into the Louisiana and Texas projects.

Climeworks is one of the companies working on the Louisiana DAC hub, which is eligible for up to $550 million in federal funding. Eventually, the facility aims to capture more than 1 million tons of carbon dioxide each year and store it underground. “If you do want to build an industry, you cannot do it with demo projects. You have to put your money where your mouth is and say there are certain projects that should be eligible for a larger share of funding,” says Daniel Nathan, chief project development officer at Climeworks. When the hub starts sequestering carbon, it will be eligible to claim up to $180 for each ton of carbon stored, under tax credit 45Q, which was extended under the Inflation Reduction Act.

These tax credits are important because they provide long-term support for companies actually sequestering carbon from the atmosphere. “What you have is a guaranteed revenue stream of $180 per ton for a minimum of 12 years,” says Andreasen. It’s particularly critical given that the costs of capturing and storing a ton of carbon dioxide are likely to exceed the market rate of carbon credits for a long time. Other forms of carbon removal, notably planting forests, are much cheaper than DAC, and removal offsets also compete with offsets for renewable energy, which avoid emitting new emissions. Without a top-up from the government, it’s unlikely that a market for DAC sequestration would be able to sustain itself.

Most of the DAC industry experts WIRED spoke to thought there was little political appetite to reverse the 45Q tax credit—not least because it also allows firms to claim a tax credit for using carbon dioxide to physically extract more oil from existing reservoirs. They were more worried, however, about the prospect that existing DOE funds set aside for DAC and other projects might not be allocated under a future administration.

“I do think a slowing down of the DOE is a possibility,” says Andreasen. “That just means the money takes longer to get out, and that is not great.” Katie Lebling at the World Resources Institute, a sustainability nonprofit, agrees, saying there is a risk that unallocated funds could be slowed down and stalled if a new administration looked less favorably on carbon removal.

The Heritage Foundation doesn’t just doubt the carbon removal industry—it is openly skeptical about climate change, writing in one report that observed warming could only “theoretically” be due to the burning of fossil fuels, and that “this claim cannot be demonstrated through science.” In its Project 2025 plan, the foundation says the “government should not be picking winners and losers and should not be subsidizing the private sector to bring resources to market.”

But without government support, the private sector would never develop technologies like DAC, says Jonas Meckling, an associate professor at UC Berkeley and climate fellow at Harvard Business School. The same was true of the solar industry, Meckling says. “You cannot start an industry with a societal good in mind unless you get governments to take an active role,” says Nathan of Climeworks.

While there are some question marks over the future of DOE grants for DAC, the industry appeals to legislators on both sides of the aisle. The Texas DAC hub is being built by 1PointFive, a subsidiary of Occidental Petroleum, and both DOE projects are located in firmly red states. When it was announced that DOE DAC hubs funding would be spent in Louisiana, Senator Bill Cassidy said: “Carbon capture opens a new era of energy and manufacturing dominance for Louisiana. It is the future of job creation and economic development for our state.”

In the long run, Nathan says, the aim is for DAC to be viable on its own economic terms. In time, he says, that will mean regulation that requires industries to pay for carbon removal—a stricter version of emissions-trading schemes that already exist in places like California and the European Union. Eventually, that should lead to a place where the direct air industry no longer requires government support to remove carbon from the atmosphere at scale. “I’m looking at the fundamentals, and those aren’t driven by who’s in office,” Nathan says.

Send me "Don't Deal with a Dragon" and I'll assign your character a Shadowrun character concept" | ACCEPTING

---- In the depths of Europe, a tiny village is barely a dot on a map. They have connection to the Matrix, but they're the kind of remote that GridGuide never even considered them as a possible place to implement self-driving cars. After all, the vehicle population was on average older than the company itself. These were a people that didn't need to be sold cars.

But what they were sold was a religion. They were sold mechanical workers to help till their fields and clear the snow and hang up the lights for their blackbird rites and rituals.

This was a place that used the Matrix as one did the old 'net. Watching videos, for trideo development was unnecessary. Why have holograms when a handyman or codejockey could turn the scrap of old satellite tech into uplinks, route 'em to old televisions that would make even the most tech-illiterate sprawler gag.

In a village such as this... who would expect the pastor of the church to be one of the most technologically-advanced of his people? To have made pilgrimage to the cities of Europe, taken of their strengths, while maintaining the humility of his position? A man with a flock of crows, who learned to adapt to the changing times, rather than stay stuck in tradition and rite. A flock of chrome bones and cameras for eyes, with minds of code made to evoke the personalities and livelihood of the corvid they impersonate.

---- The man was a Rigger, whose spine and nerves had been invaded by technology, who could connect to compatible vehicles and drones and become them. The twitch of a finger flexes pistons, a tensed shoulder turns the steering axle, a clenching of the diaphragm introduces gas into the engine and the car goes. Eyes become windows into the soul of the machine, cameras on the dashboard giving the rigger an out-of-body experience... and far more granular control than was otherwise humanly possible. Each and every one of his bird-drones, made to look like the real things, could be inhabited, the only indication that anything was any different was that the bird would go still. It would 'forget to act', and it would pay more attention. Blink... and you'd miss it. The less said about any magician who claims "Raven" as their mentor spirit in his presence, the better.

Any of Father Oswald's birds could be possessed so, lending an air of credibility to tales of children and sinners being watched by the godly. When money grew tight, the preacher would leave sermons for... who? Altar boys? The devout? Someone would have to tend to the village whilst he travels to the cities, he would indulge in their lights and their vices, and be paid to smuggle, kill, and steal.

His body is marred by cyberware; smuggler's compartments form pockets that were taut in his youth, and remain strengthened by their implantation despite the rigors of age around them. Small pouches in the flesh, large enough and water-tight to carry things over borders and through rent-a-cop inspections. Obvious chrome keeps others from searching the old flesh, and law enforcement are all the more fools for it.

---- Accompanied by crows, the runner known as "Flock" keeps abreast of developments in the nearby cities. Old friends, from before he went into retirement ("this time for certain" he would say, lasting anywhere from months to years before he took another run) do not reach out first. They always wait, and they always think of him when opportunities flitter over their commlinks, trickling down through the shadownet and across their desks. How many crews has he run with, missions and schemes concocted over weeks or months, executed to perfection before he left for his little village again, several thousand nuyen the richer, and expecting never to see comrades and coworkers again?

How many times did he leave with one of their number left in a shallow grave?

No, Flock was an enigma, and in his career he's forgotten more than most runners ever get to learn. He was alive when the first Orks and Elves were born, when the dragons emerged and the Sixth World was made manifest. His has been a life of adapting to an ever-changing landscape, more aware than any of you how fluid the Megas' hold on the world truly are, no matter how monolithic and untouchable they present themselves. He is a sailor, and he is guided by only one north star.
