Prompt optimizer | OpenAI API Learn how to use your dataset to automatically improve your prompts.

Unrelated to the specific domain, but did you use the platform.openai.com/docs/guides/... already? Iโ€™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.

โ€ฆ 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 itโ€™s so unregulated that companies do not care putting them.

Iโ€™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 thereโ€ฆ

What Makes a Level Hard in Super Mario Maker 2? Games like Super Mario Maker 2 (SMM2) lower the barrier for casual users to become level designers. In this paper, we set out to analyze a vast amount of data about SMM2 user-written levels, in order ...

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'.

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

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

I'll admit, I was skeptical when they said Gemini was just like a bunch of PhDs. But I gotta admit they nailed it.

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. ๐Ÿฅฒ

AI for "good", indeed. Glad a journalist picked up on this story and interviewed Abeba. Streisand Effect these asses.

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.

An alembic in pretty bad shape, from the Museo Zuckermann in Padova, Italy.

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
