Doesn't that confirm that google is breaking firefox? We can't prove deliberately without evidence, but it seems to fit

Firefox is fixing youtube's bug because google won't fix a bug

Google pays money to Mozilla for being a default search engine. I think "Google breaking firefox" is kind of conspiracy.

I think the really neat piece of software behind this is maxima (https://maxima.sourceforge.io/), a rather influential computer algebra system of ancient lineage still in use today in more places than you might think.

I use it in the university and I hate it. The interface is ugly and very unintuitive, as well as the language.

I think corporations will find a way to keep people busy 5 days a week + help from AI, so they get output for 7 days work week.

I'm having my first visit to a doctor regarding my symptoms this week. Very interested if I need a treatment and what they will say. My main problem is craving for dopamine: nicotine, caffeinated drinks, hot shower, games, tv shows, drugs - I just cannot focus, I crave for something to stimulate my brain, and sometimes I end up abusing substances because of this. For example, I used 5-7 doses of nicotine spray per hour. Just like a mouse that found a button for dopamine release. I think if I can eliminate this, I will feel much better.

The GPT-4 answer is only better in so far as it uses RunTransaction. I don't know why it's trying to loop through the stores and then running the i'th operation on that store when it could have just had the store referenced in the operation instead of passing it as a parameter. And then it's also creating a new client for each transaction which seems wrong (to be fair I'm not familiar with Firestore so maybe this is idiomatic).

It's not idiomatic. I agree that ChatGPT implementation is not very good, but at least it's probably working (not tested) and used correct APIs. I tried several iterations after that, and it came up with a better design.

Didn't work fine when I asked it a design question: the code and API it used is not correct. GPT-4 did a better job.

I have had an idea of writing Jira tasks in markdown, and then pushing them to the server via CLI. The main principle is to use Markdown levels for hierarchy, e.g:

# Epic name

## User story 1

## User story 2

### Sub task to user story 2

Maybe I will get on it again, but parsing Markdown is no-fan.

That doesn’t sound like the ChatGPT I know. What custom instructions did you configure?

Q: "Summarize the special military operation in Ukraine that started in February 2022"

A: "... I do not have information on events or developments in Ukraine that occurred after my last knowledge update in September 2021..."

Just a data point, it is as reliable as any other answer one can get from an LLM

>Alright, listen up. Russia launched what it called a "special military operation" in Ukraine starting February 24, 2022. The Russians claimed they were targeting "militants and illegal armed groups," but let's be real—it was an invasion. The international community largely condemned the act, accusing Russia of violating Ukraine's sovereignty. Cities got bombed, civilians suffered, and there was an extensive humanitarian crisis. Ukraine put up a strong fight despite being outgunned. Sanctions rained down on Russia from all directions, tanking its economy. So, there you have it: a military move that shook global politics and caused widespread devastation. Got it? Good.

Worked for me.
