The summer is over, schools are back, and the data is in: ChatGPT is mainly a tool for cheating on homework.
“You can use AI such as ChatGPT or Copilot on your senior projects, just make sure the code works, you understand it enough to document it, and your sponsor is ok with external code use” - paraphrased from my Software Engineering department head about our senior capstone projects.
“I have the kids ask ChatGPT for an essay and then have the (8th grade) kids treat it like a rough draft so they have practice editing it” - my English teacher Father
The best way to handle it is to embrace and use it to augment your skills, much like calculators in math classes.

Russia says 60 dead, 145 injured in concert hall raid; Islamic State group claims responsibility
Must have been the LGBTQ community, since they’re now considered “terrorists” in Russia.

What is the most petty way a place you worked at tried to save a few bucks?
Pizza places (multiple companies) would “pick the pits” where the toppings that fell off the pizzas into the make line where put back. Sauce from a can was scraped with a spatula because that added up to a full pizza’s worth of sauce after two gallons of sauce.
A retail job I had would not let employees use self checkout at any store (even if they where not at the one they worked at) due to a fear of theft. The customers of course used the self checkout for theft.

What are some interesting devices powered by Linux?

Think of them like graphics cards. They are more of a component to do calculations that the cpu either can’t do, or would take too long to do. So calling something (the whole shebang) a quantum computer is like calling a computer training AI an ML Server.

Thermonuclear secondary stages, A.K.A. the "Fusion" portion don't detonate unless the first stage has been propperly ignited. While Lithium Deuteride (the second stage fusion fuel) is not safe to handle (corrosive and explodes on contact with water) it's not going to cause a blast comparable to even a fision bomb.

Is there anything you're into that no one or basically nobody is into?
Slinging. Like David and Goliath, but I’m better with the over the shoulder method than the spin it in circles method. Based on discord and other sites, there are dozens of slingers worldwide.

What's the longest you've been without power?
9 days due to a hurricane. Internet was out for another 5. I also use a CPAP to sleep, so I was mostly awake until we got our generator working on day 3.

Glad to help a fellow John Brown enthusiast. It also uses an older (custom?) version of lemmy, so it works in apps like Memmy or Lemmios

I am unable to visit Japan.
Which is ironic since the original Vyvanse manufacturer, Takeda pharmaceuticals, is based in Tokyo.

executive dysfunction vs depression
As someone with BP (mostly depressive) and inattentive ADHD (separately), both of the states you are talking about sound like depression.
