It's simple thermodynamics really.

Yeah was wondering the same here from Australia.

Back when my daughter was born, not only did we not pay anything, the government gave us a $5000 "baby bonus"

I'm surprised Japan doesn't have more "please have children" incentives with their declining demographics.

Do I need to bring a towel?

Yeah I remember being in Bali in December and reading about it. Then it hitting news in the west in January and I think by February or March dozens of people were dying in Italy with overflowing hospitals.

He live tweets every stupid "thought" he has in any case.

Yeah seeing the post had me worried for a while but appears it's not and android thing but a Samsung thing. This is why I stopped buying Samsung phones 6 years ago.

Did you get the memo?

Yeah I'm starting to see this in every meme post. There's always someone commenting "ai slop" or whatever.

It's a meme. We know. AI was used as a tool to convey a 2 second joke. Not sure why they're getting so worked up.

It's like calling a photo "camera slop" because it wasn't painted. Or an email "internet garbage" because you didn't mail a paper letter.

Sorry I know I'm preaching to the choir here but their comments are more annoying than what they're complaining about and I just needed to vent a bit.

When learning languages there comes a point where immersion is much more useful than concentrated learning.

While traveling to or living in China for a while might not be an option, are there activities or things you can do in Chinese with native speakers which is not just about learning a language.

It'll be more fun and require less focus.

Or get a Chinese friend / boyfriend / girlfriend! 😀

Really well. Temp turned down all the way, and Gemini has this new feature to run and execute code.... Not function calling... It can write a small python script, run it and return the output.

So our prompt explains the excel spreadsheet, then tell it exactly the format we need it in, and then tell it to use python and pandas to read in the CSV, clean it up and reshape it the way we need it to match what we expect and voila.

So hallucinations are not really and issue with the data as it's simply writing code which then deterministically processes and returns the data.

Edit to add more info: basically Gemini can create and run a lambda function on the fly. And if you're a coder you can really guide the prompt. Eg "load this into pandas. Then remove all the empty columns. Also remove the total rows. Now unpivot the data so the months are not columns but in separate rows with a column called month.

You get the idea.
