  • ChatGPT can be super useful, but I’m kind of worried about people learning to use it exclusively.

    I tried helping a PhD student assemble a set up for measuring transistors. He used ChatGPT to do all the code for the software control (python), which is fine, even if he relied on it to fix every single part of his code when a quick trip to the reference manuals of the equipments would solve the problem instantly.

    At a certain point I realized I maybe had misunderstood his set up design and asked him “wait, which device do you want to connect to your gate? Which terminal even is the gate?”

    And I kid you not, the dude asked ChatGPT which terminal in his device was the gate

    (he also reeked of weed so there’s that)
















  • Chaos.

    I love what it represents, how it can be good or evil depending on your point of view (there’s a reason why DnD used it as an axis perpendicular to Good-Evil), and it sounds really cool. It is also the first word I’d use to describe my life at any point in time. Maybe life itself!

    It sounds good in all languages I know but has the distinction of sounding even better in English, despite coming from the Greek Kaos it somehow sounds cooler in English (a distinction shared by few, if any, other words coming from Greek to English). It is also written in an amazing manner, with a “H” that came out of nowhere and has no reason to be there other than just cause… Chaos. I love it.
