Unrelated to the specific domain, but did you use the platform.openai.com/docs/guides/... already? I’ve found it often useful for similar tasks.

The look and feel of the new iOS reminds me of Windows Vista, and as ugly. Plus everything feels slower, and even in Safari UX is worse. Why do I have to do two clicks to go back to the previous page?!? Damn Apple, what a disaster.

… that would not justify putting there a product that can effectively drive a vulnerable teenager towards suicide, just because the technology is so shitty that it is extremely difficult to properly implement safeguards or because it’s so unregulated that companies do not care putting them.

I’ve got the luck to be living in a country where mental health support is available through basic insurance and I must say that it has been quite far from shitty quality, and I can say that from personal experience. But even if I were in my home country, where such availability would not be there…

In 25 years, every business school in the country will be doing case studies about how a long defunct company known as “Google” once had an unbeatable lock on online information retrieval and then started doing shit like this.

is dunkin cereal milk gluten fr

Al Overview

+1
No, Dunkin' Cereal Milk is not gluten-free because it contains milk, which is a common allergen, and as a result, it is not suitable for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
However, coffee drinks, dairy milk, and non-dairy milks like oat, almond, and coconut milk are naturally gluten-free at Dunkin'.

At the upcoming IEEE 2025 Conference on Games 🎮, @andreamocci.bsky.social will present our joint work: "What makes a level hard in Mario Maker 2?" Definitely an unusual topic for a publication of mine! This short 🧵 explains what's that about. cog2025.inesc-id.pt/accepted-pap... #cog25 1/6

I'll admit, I was skeptical when they said Gemini was just like a bunch of PhDs. But I gotta admit they nailed it.
Google's Gemini AI tells a Redditor it's 'cautiously optimistic' about fixing a coding bug, fails repeatedly, calls itself an embarrassment to 'all possible and impossible universes' before repeating 'I am a disgrace' 86 times in succession

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

Ok, I'm bad at geography, but this google AI is worse than me. Apparently, it took the information from some fictional famdom wiki that honestly I don't want to investigate further. 🥲

Had no idea that the number was *that* high. This brings back some vague memories from school, though. Except for Nova Roma/Byzantium/Costantinople, that cannot be forgotten.

Well, Rome has many nicknames, including “la città dei sette colli”:) Quirinale is one of them for example. Check if you visited all of them:)

What's left of a ~16th century alembic from the Veneto region. Alembics were used for distillation, most notoriously by alchemists to try (and fail) to turn lead into gold. Today we call such a distillation device an LLM chatbot. #Italy25
An alembic in pretty bad shape, from the Museo Zuckermann in Padova, Italy.
