"Let's please stop arguing about the image now*, and move on to more interesting points." That's rude. Let's not confuse Hackenews with a ChatGPT prompt.

There are treatments that are very effective for treating psoriasis, especially those based on monoclonal antibodies. I was treated for atopic dermatitis (which is a similar disease), and I have been in near remission for several years. How

Certainly, but the use case mentioned here is not related to a performance issue. It's more about syntactic sugar when a user writes SQL in interactive mode to explore data.

Yes, that's true. After all, it's the functionality that is important, regardless of the means to achieve it. On the other hand, the fact that it is part of the syntax has other advantages: - it makes the functionality independent

The criticisms regarding chatGPT remind me of what was said about Wikipedia at its very beginning, that it was supposedly unreliable. I think we will have a good laugh in a few years reading these first comments. There is no doubt that chat

I tried to parse the result of standardized POSIX commands for the nth time and I realize that i would be much easier if it were already done by a standardized output. I would dream of a flag that allow all POSIX commands to output standard

Interesting, but it would be much more efficient using something like QAM, because with binary tones most of the bandwidth is wasted.

First of all, you need a really "good" story. What is "good" depends on people, there is no general rule for that. Make sure people are ready to listen, try to get their attention. Take a smile and try to make your voice
