Tennis great-turned-philanthropist Roger Federer delivered the Commencement address at Dartmouth on June 9, 2024. The eight-time Wimbledon champion gave pointers on how to win at life.

If you're experiencing issues with ChatGPT in Google Chrome, it's a good idea to check your DNS settings. If you're using OpenDNS, consider switching to Google DNS IPs as a potential solution. Many OpenAI customers reporting difficulties accessing ChatGPT, this DNS change may solve the problem.
