Nice one! I wonder if the creator modified the output, it’s no longer giving me text answers. Edit: you just have to keep pressing enter and eventually some text output can be spit out.

I’m enjoying experimenting with nonsensical math: > Apple * dog > CalcGPT: Apple Mini − dog or dog. Total= Apple Dog Mini MiniDog=49 I was wondering if math of words would produce the embedding of the operation of those words, but nop

I love Quarto [0] and use GitHub pages for hosting. Quarto works nicely with several IDEs, and works out of the box with both Python, R, and Observable JS. Typst support was also just added, but I haven’t explored that yet. The documentatio

Slightly tangential, but I believe this article segues into a discussion about assisted suicide or euthanasia at the end of life. My entire family has been suffering over the past 18 months watching my 88-year-old grandmother slowly pass aw

This has always been my struggle with French as well. I have never quite able to crack the aural/listening component of the language. How did you overcome the “wall”?

At least on iOS, you can set time limits for specific websites. E.g., I have a 15 minute limit for Twitter, as I refuse to download the app.

I’ve experienced excessive garbage production, but also excessive verbosity, even when it’s giving helpful responses. “Here’s the code I just wrote in the previous message!”

FWIW, I did my PhD in neuroscience and am now working in R&D in biopharma. It would be very difficult to have landed my current position without a PhD. Lastly, most STEM PhD programs pay a stipend (a small one, mine was 30k/year),

There are gaps everywhere , especially in science/research. Consider looking into a Ph.D. if you’re hungry to find, master, and close a gap. Not being sarcastic, btw. The more you know, the more you realize how little you know and how
