I am in my mid thirties in an east european country. I barely had any exposure to Chinese culture, without seeking it myself, even though their written history is some 3000 years old. What I grew up on is pure American propaganda and interv

Interestingly enough, I could be considered the opposite. Having aphantasia, I've never had a mental image, but I have very vivid dreams. Talking to my dad, he only dreams in black and white. It's just awesome the variability we h

As if the 3rd option does not exist. A manager that knows how to manage but also knows how the pie is made.

How is this possible? What do you guys do at work? I haven't had success with neither GPT-4 (did you build your own API calling tool for it? Do you just paste it in their Playground?) nor with GitHub Copilot in actually delivering anyw

I saw this video earlier today. I'm not versed in flying machines, but how certain of a collision is it? From my layman's viewpoint I've only heard the people on CNN calling it a collision, and now this guy, but honestly I ca
