It’s simple:
Be respectful, understanding, patient, kind, compassionate, tolerant, empathetic, considerate, accepting, forgiving.
Emotional maturity is important.

I’m a little bit blown away at how incredibly educational and helpful www.languagetransfer.org/courses has been.
I’ve been struggling with finding a beginner course for learning Spanish; I wish I found this sooner.

I’m hoping that i fixed my #ADHD productivity problem.
Sure, meds were critical, but also having the proper productivity system in place is also important
Surprisingly, mine was the #iOS reminders app; not only that, but I had to see its badge numbers and how many reminders were due.

Feel overwhelmed by your to-do list? Try making a to-don't list, of things you don't need to do. Mine for today includes:
- get haircut
- dismantle and rebuild TV
- learn to speak Farsi
- invent velcro
- cause small earthquake in east Nebraska
- kidnap a Klingon
I haven't done any of them. Success!

“Concerns over an AI bubble bursting have grown lately, with analysts recently finding that it’s 17 times the size of the dotcom-era bubble and four times bigger than the 2008 financial crisis.”

Hang onto your butts. This “correction” is gonna hurt.

Proper prompt formatting for LLMs:
Goal, Return Format, Warnings, and Context Dump
Goal I want a list of the best unique weekend getaways within two hours of New York City. Each destination should provide a cool and unique experience and be lesser known Return Format For each getaway, return the name of the destination as I'd find it on travel guides, then provide the starting address, the ending address (if applicable), distance, drive time, duration of the experience, and what makes it a cool and unique adventure. Return the top 3. Warnings Be careful to make sure that the name of the location is correct, that it actually exists, and that the time is correct. Context Dump For context: my partner and I love exploring! We've done pretty much all of the well-known spots in our city, whether it's popular museums, parks, or local attractions. We definitely want to get out of town — we did a small road trip recently to a nearby landmark, and it was really long and tiring, so we're in the mood for something different this weekend! Water views would still be nice. We love great food. One thing I really enjoyed about our last trip was that it ended with a fun celebration (arriving somewhere cool for dinner!). Historical sites and hidden gems are great, but we've done a lot of those already. We won't be seeing each other for a few weeks (they have to travel for work), so the uniqueness here really counts.
