My first @Amtrak trip ever. Interesting side conversations with passengers + respect for public transport workers and the amazing California landscape. About half hour extra each way, and sucks there isn’t a direct BART sf - Emeryville Amtrak, but wouldn’t mind doing this agai!

@mitrakalita i was almost there today!

Hey guys. Wordle 1,042 2/6 ⬛⬛🟨🟩⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

@rafat This is not necessarily a ChatGPT question/personal use case as above, but I am curious about the framework behind AskSkift. I'm not sure how long it's been around, but it's a pretty useful/intriguing experience for a peripheral travel news reader like me!

One of the applications of ChatGPT/Claude etc I have come to appreciate and find very useful as a base to start: asking these chatbots to come up with a list of questions. Two use cases for me: 1) when I interview job candidates, I upload the job description and their resume and prompt the chatbot to do web research and come up with a list of questions, or go even deeper as ask for specific type of questions. What it comes back with is a great start, some very generic, but many very useful ways to put together a framework of questions. 2) when I am moderating a conference session or interview, similar process: upload the session, description, and the speaker(s) bio and some more context and ask the chatbot to do web research and come up with list of topical questions. And same results, it even organizes by sub topics and questions underneath it. Again depends on topic and prompt but it is a great base for me to start with. Thought I would share if helpful for others too.

@VicVijayakumar I honestly assumed a recorder was some way to record your singing (I didn't go to school in the US). It is called a recorder, for heaven's sake. Till I saw it. And heard it. Now the rule at home is that they only practice at school.

me: i wish this school had a musical instruments program school: *sends my kid home with a recorder*

@tsh I sure hope so!

We’re all still doing Wordle, right?
