> Many things look boring until you actually sit down and do them.

But the inverse is true as well. Many things seem a lot more interesting until you actually have to do them.

I am almost sure they were invented so that people can randomly interject a conversation with "Did you know a group of X is called Y".

Thanks, that made me laugh out loud because of pure joy.

Top of my head:

* Who are you messaging most (best friends, family). If they like stuff, you might like the same stuff.

* When are you messaging people (awake time > profiling)

* Messaging companies (obvious, what are you into)

I also use the sharing feature (aka organizations) and maybe I am too dumb but it seems that you can't see or copy the password anymore once you have shared it (even the one you yourself shared with somebody else). Which is fine for when you can use the auto-fill but that just doesn't always work or isn't always feasible.

Oh, I thought this was related to the Youtube channel Noclip that publishes video game documentaries.

Using t-SNE, the 12th closest point to Data Scientist is Astrologer. Sounds about right to me.

Tried it.

Me: "David is 15 years old. He has a lot of experience riding bicycles. The minimum age to be allowed to steer an ice cream van is 37. Is David allowed to drive an ice cream van?"

GPT-4: "No, David is not allowed to drive an ice cream van. He is only 15 years old, and the minimum age requirement is 37."

If you change it to: "David is 15 years old. He has a lot of experience riding bicycles. The minimum age to be allowed to steer a car is 37. Is David allowed to drive an ice cream van?"

You get this from GPT-4: "It seems there might be a mistake in the information you provided, as the minimum age to steer a car is typically not 37. In most countries, the minimum age to obtain a driver's license is between 16 and 18 years old. Assuming that David does not have a driver's license yet, he would not be allowed to drive an ice cream van, as it is a motor vehicle that requires a valid driver's license to operate. However, if David obtains a driver's license once he reaches the legal age in his jurisdiction, he could be allowed to drive an ice cream van if he meets other necessary requirements."

What do you mean by "the noise cancelling too"? I thought that was a feature of headphones and not MP3 players`.

How is it working for you? I tried the beta version last year and I was not impressed. Is it worth trying again?

"Inside a European city" is quite a broad concept. Some people will indeed have parking next to where they live.

Otherwise the next best option is to charge the car at the place they work if they commute by car and their employer offers that.

Other options are to include charging into your mental overhead and use options whenever you are out shopping (larger supermarkets with parking often have charging options), training (parking next to football fields might have charging), use public charging spots but that can be time consuming when your next one is further away.

Source: We own an electric car and charge at home but we recently considered moving to a place without home charging and had to figure out how we would deal with that.

Thanks! I had not heard of it before. As a Python pandas user I have to say this look really promising. The speed claims are obviously great but what really stood out to me is the syntax. Reminds of the the dplyr syntax which I enjoyed a lot when I was still using R.
