"Don Knuth Plays with ChatGPT" but with ChatGPT-4

1. Tell me what Donald Knuth says to Stephen Wolfram about chatGPT.

I'm sorry for any confusion, but as an AI, I can't provide real-time updates or specific conversations between individuals beyond my last training cut-off in September 2021. I don't have access to the internet or any databases for real-time information or private communications. Therefore, I can't give you the details of a conversation between Donald Knuth and Stephen Wolfram about ChatGPT, if such a conversation has taken place after my training data.

However, it's worth noting that both Donald Knuth and Stephen Wolfram are significant figures in the fields of computer science and computational mathematics. Knuth is widely recognized for his multi-volume work "The Art of Computer Programming" and for creating the TeX computer typesetting system, while Wolfram is known for his work in developing Mathematica and Wolfram|Alpha, and for his contributions to cellular automata theory, outl

Unofficial README for NYC Ranked Choice Voting Cast Vote Record (CVR)

Unofficial README for NYC Ranked Choice Voting Cast Vote Record (CVR)

The NYC BOE released the data files, but no metadata or explanation, so we have to do this ourselves.

What is in the files?

Each row is a cast vote, and each column is a preference for a candidate. These are the columns that appear in all spreadsheets, regardless of what borough or ballot type they are:

Column Explanation
Cast Vote Record unique ID number
Precinct AD (assembly district) and ED (election district) where the voter is registered(your polling place is determined by your AD/ED)

Falsehoods programmers believe about time, in a single list

Falsehoods programmers believe about time

This is a compiled list of falsehoods programmers tend to believe about working with time.

Don't re-invent a date time library yourself. If you think you understand everything about time, you're probably doing it wrong.

Falsehoods

  • There are always 24 hours in a day.
  • February is always 28 days long.
  • Any 24-hour period will always begin and end in the same day (or week, or month).
- Inexplicable perversity of human nature.
- The clever machinations of MongoDB's marketing people.
- The AGPL license killed it.
- We spent too long development before monetizing.
- Bad performance.
- Numeric types limited to a 64-bit `float`.
- Great product, but didn't/couldn't translate to revenue.
- Bad business model.
- Failure in timezones/timestamp nuances.
