Germany's new Kanzler #Merz promised that the German army should become the strongest in Europe and for that they should receive all financial aid necessary. Germany has already the highest military budget in Europe, so they should rather check how other countries can be stronger with a lower budget

Snakemake Tip of the Day:
Limit intense parallel jobs with resources inside the rule to prevent overload! Add
resources: star_jobs=1
to the rule, set the global limit
snakemake --resources star_jobs=10
Now only 10 star jobs run at once!

Considering how narrow minded, biased and convincingly wrong ChatGPT is in many areas, that sounds like a terrible idea.
OpenAI on Tuesday announced its biggest product launch since its enterprise rollout. It’s called ChatGPT Gov and was built specifically for U.S. government use.
