It makes sense when you think about it too: It's a language model, so it should be expected to do a decent job as a glorified dictionary
I use GPT in the sense of "I need to solve X problem, are there established algorithms for this?" which usually gives me a good starting point for actual searching.
Most recent use-case was judging the similarity of two strings: I had never heard of "Levenschtein distance" before, but once I had that keyword it was easy to work from there.
Also: cmake and bash boilerplate
Right chilly today innit?
Sorry, but I honestly don't get it. I I were to point out the crown jewel of open source, it's gcc. gcc is the backbone and survival condition for so much modern industry that it's not even remotely funny.
Take away gcc, and the world will likely burn for a substantial amount of time until people start making in-house or proprietary alternatives.

At this point I really can't understand what is driving Orban anymore. He obviously must have known this would happen, and is likely doing it on purpose so that he can point at the EU as the "bad guy" back home, but like... what does he gain from this? Isn't it better to just get a shitload of free money from the EU that you can funnel to your friends and family than to not do that? If he legitimately dislikes the EU he can just leave.
Maybe he's just sticking around as long as he can grab cash? It kind of seems like he's going for the "see how far you can push it before you're kicked out" play. Essentially trying to find out how much of an obstructing, law-breaking, corrupt asshole he has to be before the rest of the EU finally has enough and kicks him out, at which point he can peace out to some safe-haven (I've heard there are spare rooms in some of Putins palaces).
I just came back to Europe after a couple weeks in the US. The US was beautiful (travelled in the Rockies). I was surprised by the fact that I unironically would not be able to live there just because of the food. Everything was so drowned in cheese / sugar / unspecified ultraprocessed something that I had legitimate digestion issues the first week.
- "I would like an omelette please"
- "Yes sir, do you want eggs in that or just the cheese?"
I had no idea I could miss just plain real bread as much as I did by the time I got back.

I'm straight, 100%. I know because I've been very close to trying, and figured out I was too straight to go through with it. If you had asked me when I was 18-24, I would probably not be so sure. Being "bicurious" around that age seems to be quite common, but is probably (my speculation) not closely linked to the proportion of people who are actually not straight.
Assuming
- cylindrical human, 2m tall, 25 cm diameter.
- air displaced from the point you teleport to is instantly moved to form a monolayer (1 molecule thick) on your surface.
- The displacement of air is adiabatic (no heat is transferred, which will be true if the displacement is instantaneous)
Volume of displaced air: ≈ 100L = 0.1m^3 At atmospheric conditions: ≈ 4 mol
Surface area of cylindrical human: ≈ 1.58 m^2 Diameter of nitrogen molecule (which is roughly the same as for an oxygen molecule) : ≈ 3 Å Volume of monolayer: ≈ 4.7e-10 m^3
Treating the air as an ideal gas (terrible approximation for this process) gives us a post-compression pressure of ≈ 45 PPa (you read that right: Peta-pascal) or 450 Gbar, and a temperature of roughly 650 000 K.
These conditions are definitely in the range where fusion might be possible (see: solar conditions). So to the people saying you are only "trying to science", I would say I agree with your initial assessment.
I'm on my phone now, but I can run the numbers using something more accurate than ideal gas when I get my computer. However, this is so extreme that I don't really think it will change anything.
Edit: We'll just look at how densely packed the monolayer is. Our cylindrical person has an area of 1.58 m^2, which, assuming an optimally packed monolayer gives us about 48 micro Å^2 per particle, or an average inter-particle distance of about 3.9 milli Å. For reference, that means the average distance between molecules is about 0.1 % of the diameter of the molecules (roughly 3 Å) I think we can safely say that fusion is a possible or even likely outcome of this procedure.
Just can't help but notice that there seems to be little concern for catching friendlies in the crossfire here.. is the camera guy also shooting at the vehicle?
