As the saying goes, who lets others cut cables to have peace deserves neither and will have both taken away.

They realized the same thing that Davie504 and other musicians did: that music itself is fine, but it will be much more interesting if one spices it with a bit of humor. I miss the old setup but at the same time I can't wait to see wha

My God, why would anyone decide to work(?) in this way? Even if you are a junior and are a desperate to learn new skills, this is a totally wrong direction. And even if they a huge salary (like 3 x above the average, which I doubt), is your

To be fair I believe we all have this basic bias. For example, when I have a streak of failures, I approach another task with caution, even though it may be simple and normally I'd do it easily. And when I have several successes, I get

GPT-3 was released in 2020. GPT-3.5 in late 2022. GPT-4 in early 2023, and that's basically it for me. Granted, they introduced the 4o model later that has some nice features while being quite well behind their top model (now called by
