In Vienna, which has very good public transport and a large walking population, there is a strong culture against jaywalking. Locals will wait at the crosswalk sign even on minor roads with no traffic. Having lived in New York, London, and other places, I've never seen anything like it.


I'm willing to bet drivers in Vienna also obey traffic signals/laws, which is also something you cannot expect from NYC drivers.


I saw the same thing in not quite 'rural' Czechia, but definitely not Prague.


I noticed that. But people are very regimental there.

It's a bit strange though because the city doesn't even have that many cars and usually it's pretty safe to just look both ways.


Not really.

It’s common enough that not crossing at a red light as a pedestrian (with no cars in sight) can be a tell that you’re potentially German :)

> The story goes to influence child education. If there are no children in sight some german will jaywalk though.

That is definitely true. I'm from Austria and I try not to jaywalk when there are children around because I have been taught this way (and I see the point).


NYC here. I always used the crosswalk when I was with my child to teach him the safest way.


I had ChatGPT give me the key points to avoid reading:

AI's Role in Writing: Instead of outsourcing the writing process or plagiarizing, students like Chris use ChatGPT as a collaborative tool to refine ideas, test arguments, or generate rough drafts. ChatGPT helps reduce cognitive load by offering suggestions, but the student still does most of the intellectual work.

Limited Usefulness of AI: ChatGPT's writing was often bland, inconsistent, and in need of heavy editing. However, it still served as a brainstorming partner, providing starting points that allowed users to improve their writing through further refinement.

Complexity of AI Collaboration: The article suggests that AI-assisted writing is not simply "cheating," but a new form of collaboration that changes how writers approach their work. It introduces the idea of "rhetorical load sharing," where AI helps alleviate mental strain but doesn’t replace human creativity.

Changing Perspectives on AI in Academia: Many professors and commentators initially feared that AI would enable rampant plagiarism. However, the article argues that in-depth assignments still require critical thinking, and using AI tools like ChatGPT might actually help students engage more deeply with their work.


This could create a new industry of double Irish-style/sale-leaseback avoidance schemes that will be a boon to tech lawyers. E.g. Tech co sells its software to an Irish sister company and then its software engineers create software for that Irish firm, which in turn licenses its software _back_ to Tech co.


Could Priya use chatgpt herself to do 10x bio-curations? Would this enable her to potentially set up a freelance competitor to her current employer? Could a competitor using chatgpt like that hire her to do 10x the work? Could her current employer re-deploy her somewhere else now that bio-curations are sorted out? Yes to all.

The author is correct, the current arrangement will change, but the opportunities will likely increase as well, not just at the macro level but in Priya’s intermediate future as well.


To cut down on hits to the GPT API, the library should write the code required to parse the data on the first time it hits a page, then for all instances of that page, it can use the code instead of hitting the GPT API.


One day someone will plug in a math module to work in concert with chat gpt and then we will really get somewhere.


Really looking forward to when someone runs Doom inside of ChatGPT


Should also add your half of FICA (7.65%), so should be closer to 20% of pay


Yes, this depends on the manner in which you are hired. In W-2 contract to hire positions, an employer would be paying this already.


What about time off? a few weeks off should be worth a few percent also. Some contractors get this, some do not.


Solution? Allow filtering reviews in last 7, 30, 60, 90 days (reviews in last 7 days might show 2.5 of 5 stars, e.g.)


For most categories and products, if they just disallowed the seller from changing the GTIN, and showed the GTIN descriptive wording in the listing, this would be solved.


Only option is yo sort by newest review. It means bad reviews haven't been purged yet and is unaffected by fake votes.


That would be very nice to have. However, in case you are unaware you can sort by most recent reviews although that is not a perfect solution by any means.


This is what I also do, sort reviews chronologically
