This is what I'm worried about with ChatGPT Instant Checkout, too. Even today, without Instant Checkout, we had a customer submit a return because the product wouldn't fit, and that was because ChatGPT gave them a bad recommendation, and then they found our site to buy it. 😅

Just stayed at The Inn at Morro Bay a couple weeks ago--watching sea otters play from the room was incredible!
Great shot, too. Lovely work.

Sad to hear all of the facilities at the rim are closing due to water supply issues. What an incredible place.

Once I got Claude Code going in VSCode, I haven't touched the built-in chat interface a single time. It's so slick, I expect it to make me tea, earl gray, hot.

It's gorgeous, but the moon was likely added. The orbit geometry makes this pretty tough to explain, as the shadows on the earth and the shadows on the moon are cast by the same light source, yet they don't line up here, since the full moon would be opposite the sun, by definition.

I've started working with Claude loaded with a "context doc" that carries my preferences and style instructions, and it's savage as hell, now.
But yeah, 5.1 was a nice rebalancing of GPT to my eye, too.

Yep, it's a 10th life, for sure, but I'll take it! Wishing your fur family the best.

Agreed! My cat is on Solensia for degenerative disc disease in his spine, and it took him from unable-to-walk-or-bathe back to his usual shenanigans.
However, he also can't feel when he's doing damage scratching, so he's in a cone full-time. He's doing well even so, but it's a thing.

I also enjoy how the shadow framing highlights that you and the moon are both illuminated by the same sun. Easy to think of the moon as a feature of the sky, from down here, most of the time.

A lot of us wanted to be you when we grew up. You actually did it! Hell yeah.

Blacktop Mesa, that's the name of the one I was on. Anyway, fun to see the old stomping grounds, thanks for sharing your view!

Ah, no, the one I was on is closer to it, now that I dug up the photos. Still, a lovely place to crawl around and explore.

Aaah! I've been there! It keeps looking like you're almost to the top for like the last half mile, as I recall. Gorgeous hike in and out, too. Great shot.
