Ist leider viel zu lang.

There is definitely still room for improvement and I tweak my instructions constantly. But explicitly telling ChatGPT to cut the BS makes a big difference.

Glücklicherweise lässt sich dieses Verhalten von LLMs weitgehend abstellen, indem man entsprechende Instruktionen gibt.

Folgende Systemanweisungen machen ChatGPT als nüchternes Werkzeug für mich deutlich nützlicher.

Super Neuigkeiten. Gratuliere dir sehr herzlich.

Faszinierend, wie sich die Namensvielfalt gesteigert hat - vor allem bei den Buben. 1984 (fast mein Geburtsjahr) hatten fast 50% der Buben einen Namen aus den Top-10. Heute machen die Top-10 nur mehr knapp 15% aus.

Andreas war in den 80ern natürlich ganz vorne dabei 😄.
👶 Emilia und Elias waren 2024 die beliebtesten #Babynamen in Österreich 2024.

📈 Emilia landete erstmals 2013 in den Top 10 und war bereits 2023 der beliebteste Vorname für Mädchen.
📈 Elias stieg bereits 2010 in die Top 10 ein und verdrängte Paul vom Spitzenplatz.

Over the past year, I received reimbursements from institutions in various EU countries. Similar small sums, wildly different levels of paperwork. Here’s my Euro-bureaucracy ranking (1 = most paperwork pain):

🥇 France
🥈 Germany
🥉 Austria
4️⃣ Spain
5️⃣ Luxembourg
6️⃣ Denmark

I have leftover funding for a PhD student for one year (ideally Sept '25 - Sept '26). Might be a good fit for someone wanting to delay going on the market. Please send interested students my way!

Scheint, als käme er vom Epstein-Thema nicht los. Jetzt inszeniert er offenbar das nächste Aufregerthema – wohl in der Hoffnung, davon abzulenken.
