Why a GET and cancel after headers instead of a HEAD?

I wouldn’t jump to that conclusion. This could just be the one that was caught.

It sounds like they were scammed, and I feel bad for them. But they probably don’t realize how funny this comment is.

> In the case of Maduro, the operation cost around $300 million so a $400,000 payout isn’t providing a financial incentive.

It is if you are spending someone else’s $300 million, and getting the $400,000 yourself.

Does anyone maintain a programmatically accessible list of holidays for their company? Similar to the HOLIDAYS.txt in the article, but it would allow for things like “don’t run this the day before or during a company holiday.”

I work at a company with different holidays in certain countries, which would complicate things, and require something more structured than a list of dates. But having that accessible could be useful.

Has anyone tackled that, or come across a solution?

I can’t recall ever seeing the contraction “who’re” before. For obvious reasons I suppose.

I might be missing it, but I don’t see a link to that info from Apple in the article.

But I did just find this, which confirms what you’re saying. https://www.apple.com/apple-intelligence/

Where’s the source of this info? I can’t find it in the article.

If white hats aren't welcome, black hats will visit.
From the paper:

> ...the original full text of the question was put into a fresh chatbot session, in which the session was free of prior questions asked that could bias the results (version GPT-3.5, OpenAI), and the chatbot response was saved.

It seems like they just pasted the question in. For those who have asked it for medical advice, how did you frame your questions? Is there a prompt that will help ChatGPT get into a mode where it knows it is to provide medical advice? As an example, should it be prompted to ask follow up questions if it is uncertain?

He tried to back out and only followed through after being sued.

Does anyone know of good books or other resources to teach kids (7-10 years old) about the evolution of humans? Things like different homo species, how they are related, evidence that has been found, etc.
