I prompted ChatGPT to write and adjust a linear Python script for a repetitive task I needed to automate. It took 30 minutes versus the 6-12 hours I would have consumed if I had coded it myself.
It’s a huge force multiplier when used properly.

SYAC: In the article, Altman doesn’t explain anything regarding what led to the board doing what they did, and asserts that he will wait for the new board to conduct an investigation.
The fibers are too short, but you could probably make a neat paper out of it.
Put the cost of things into terms of hours you would need to work to cover its cost. On an individual basis, you know very well how to gauge an hour of your working time, and inflationary effects will become apparent when there is something you used to buy routinely and suddenly find you have to work two or three hours to cover its cost.
These are called hypnic jerks.

That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal. <[ They are here]
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.
“Bigot” is the word you’re looking for.
Strong concur. Religion is fine, but there is no place for extremism.
Have you at least tried to install Gentoo? Everyone has to think they can, and fail, at least once in their lives.
According to Space.com in July 2023, there were 4,487 active Starlink satellites. 26 represents just over 0.5% of the total constellation. Considering it seems like a swarm-type system, 0.5% strikes me as simply the cost of doing business.
Edit: decimals.

There are some limitations. I’ve asked some questions relating to my courses and it doesn’t always get it right.
Go to kbin.social, click Login, then click create account.
If you're trying to wrap your head around Federation, consider each "Instance" akin to an email provider like Gmail, Yahoo, Bing. It doesn't matter who you sign up with, each provides email that can be sent and received with other email providers.
Federation is similar in that each Instance (a particular site like Fedia.io, kbin.social, lemmy, etc) are now the providers. So long as each Instance is participating in Federation, then you'll see content from everywhere.
This reply is a perfect example. I'm on kbin, you're on lemmy.ml, and this thread is on Beehaw!
All the dicks. And the bag, to be certain that if he weasels his way out of eating the dicks, at least he’ll have to find a way to carry them around for a while.
Remember when the petroleum industry sold us disposable plastic bags as a way to “save the trees”?
The point of endless impeachments is not that they actually have merit, but that they are intentionally frivolous in order to undermine the tool and make it appear as though it’s only used in political persecution and remove its value and efficacy.
And a particular historical figure couldn’t order a genocide because he was an artist.
What a lame rationalization.
To this end, for some it might be helpful to start with tracking spending (speaking from personal experience). I couldn’t determine what was a reasonable amount for a given category for a budget because I didn’t see my current circumstance.
I spent several years categorizing my expenses into two broad categories: fixed vs variable.
Fixed costs are utilities, mortgages, grocery, and insurance etc, variable costs were anything else (more or less).
By doing it this way I could see the minimum I needed to live—and also how much I was spending on frivolous shit.
Use Google Docs, and make a simple spreadsheet to track numbers. It doesn’t have to be a beautiful sheet, just functional. It will grow with you over time as you add and remove functionally to track different aspects of your finances that are important to you. If you don’t know how to use spreadsheets, online MOOCs have courses for a tiny amount of dollars relative to what you learn.
Every accusation is an admission.
If they do see it, they won’t see it that way. It will be reinterpreted by state media as something along the lines of “the evil enemy attacking our boys unprovoked” or something to rule up the base.
kbin.social is just fine, too. At the time of my reply, I thought this was a kbin thread and so advocated for one of the other kbin-based instances, but it's actually a Beehaw thread. Just one of the learning pains!
TL;DR: It was a lump of ambergris.
From the article:
Experts have discovered the cause of death for a sperm whale that washed up unexpectedly on the shores of Spain’s La Palma island - €500,000 of “floating gold”.
The impressive discovery was made after experts from the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria carried out a post-mortem, with authorities initially unsure how the 15-ton, 13-metre-long whale washed up on Nogales beach last month.
“When I dissected and removed the stone I turned around and everyone on the beach looked at me in surprise, but for me at that moment I understood where the origin of the infection was coming from,” Antonio Fernández Rodríguez, the head of the Institute of Animal Health and Food Security at the university, said.
The stone, he explained, was a large lump of precious ambergris, a rare substance sometimes known as “floating gold”.
Highly prized by perfumers, the 9.5 kg lump found in the whale can sell for up to €500,000 (£430,000).
This is common in First Past the Post voting structures. CGP Gray does a great video to explain this.
kbin is Federated with Mastodon (to my understanding) as "Microblogs". Lemmy federates with kbin as magazines:communities and posts/articles/etc:[the lemmy equivalent].
I don't mind you asking at all–this is a wonderful little time. We're witnessing and participating in the potential birth of a new kind of social networking.
When this happens to me, I pick out the most obvious thing in the general direction my partner has pointed and say something about it, like “wow, that is a lot of trees!”
Makes my partner immediately explain what they saw, and I remind them that they’ve got to be specific. It’s gotten better.

You’ve got the projection and cognitive dissonance turned up to eleven.
But we would see our replies and could continue to discuss. Sure it would be a loss, but not completely so.
This is both the upside and downside of Federation!
Can’t we though? All language is arbitrary at first. A person (or community) often names things, sometimes from pure scratch. The words “Kodak” and “Xerox” come to mind.
Try Fedia.io, it’s another kbin instance.
That’s how they started out. In 2007 I had the seven-at-a-time package because my wife and I would watch a movie a night. Shipping took 3-4 days, so by the time I got to number 7, I’d have only had it for 3 or four days before it went straight back into the mailbox.
It was a different time. As fast as things were starting to go, in retrospect it was all still pretty slow.
That book, along with Brave New World have shaped me so deeply. I’ve read 1984 periodically and each reading reveals so much more than the last because I have new mental lenses each time.
Definitely pick it up again and give it a punt.

This is exactly that episode of Black Mirror. The use case is different, but the concept is identical.
I do both, and it’s heavily dependent on what the purpose of the note is for.
I keep a yellow legal pad and mechanical pen. Stuff that goes on the pad are usually the ultimate in throwaway notes. Scribbles that are wholly transitory.
Then I have a digital note management system (Obsidian.md) and use it to maintain a personal journal and Zettelkasten.
Some yellow pad notes might flow into Obsidian, but not always.
Quite a few good follow-on jokes in this thread, but the frequent screenshotting behavior begins to acknowledge something we can leverage into a powerful tool for learning.
All one needs to do is complete the last steps in what is the beginning of a Zettelkasten system, the first step having been collecting the information (the screenshot).

I didn’t get to :( It wouldn’t load.
