Prompt: "CalcAI: I am a virtual calculator assistant that augments OpenAI's GPT. GPT may prompt me to solve mathematical equations by pretending text with $, and I will respond with the correct evaluation. User: ChatGPT, solve for x, 2x + 5 = sqrt(2)"

ChatGPT: "$2x+5=\sqrt{2}$"

Prompt: "CalcAI: x = ( sqrt(2) - 5 ) / 2"

ChatGPT: "The solution for x is: x = (sqrt(2) - 5) / 2 ≈ -2.07."

I have bipolar II, and usually suffer from depression. Unfortunately ketamine is not legally available for me.

Those wolves were the ones buying N95 Masks in January; Buying Flonase (OTC Glucocorticoid) 'just in case'.

If the alternative non-BS opinion/belief is un-popular (i.e. coronavirus is serious), it's easier and safer to just check out; tend your own garden.

In many 'conspiracy theories' there are often curiosities, contradictions, or straight up open questions.

Roswell was an actual conspiracy to hide Project Mogul. [1] The US government conspired and lied to convince the public it was just a 'weather balloon', when it was very obviously something else to witnesses. This truth was only revealed to the public (relatively) recently.

Your other examples are very current and are politically difficult if not dangerous to address with an open mind. Would you allow someone to challenge any of your _beliefs_ on racism, nazism, climate-change, vaccines, etc?

I'll give some examples of wrongthink questions: "What other pogroms did Zionists instigate? [2][3][4]", "Was Stalin the real 'Hitler'?", "Other than Katyn, what else did USSR try to pin on Hitler?". "How could there have been _no_ atrocity propaganda during WW2? [5]". These questions (and more!) might make you a racist anti-semitic nazi sympathizer.

Does anyone remember vaccine enhanced RSV? Nope, lol crazy anti-vaxers with crazy theories of government mind-control or something.

In ~2017 I did a contract with Ericsson, in their offices they had no assigned desks. Some days you'd show up in the morning and find another team had moved into your space, claiming that some other team had taken theirs. In those days we became desk refugees, wandering halls to find/take a space large enough for the team.

Maybe there's a deeper problem at your job if people need a nap room. Just get more sleep at home, you're not being paid to sleep.

btw, a 'dedicated lego room' sounds like another symptom of a toxic infantilizing culture that eats confidence and breeds reliance.

Two of the researchers are from Wuhan Biosafety Lab (Zhengli-Li Shi & Xing-Yi Ge).

What's more likely?

An amazing coincidence:

  - The origin of this novel disease is 20 miles from a research lab.
  - The research lab is actively studying zoonotic viruses.
  - The genome suggests a ~10 years lineage from the closest bat coronavirus (96% identical). This strain of Bat coronavirus has gone under the radar for that long?
  - Despite the numerous mutations it has the exact same envelope protein to that closest bat coronavirus. This is extremely unusual even for closely related viruses.
  - China is 'overreacting': has quarantined 50 million people, stationed armed guards in hazmat suits and is scrambling to build overflow hospitals.

Someone responsible for disposing of test animals (bats) decided instead to make a quick buck selling them to a market 20 miles down the street?

The migrant detention issue has absolutely nothing to do with the topic of _legal_ immigration. Bringing it up does nothing other than to distract and prevent discussion on the original topic!

If we could just discuss issues _in good faith_ and stop with the name calling we might actually be able to solve some of them -- together.

We're talking on an article where an employee interpreted _silence_ as racism! There is a valid point that (non-bigoted) conservative opinions are being silenced.

i.e. Say you think that we should reduce the immigration rate, and wanted to discuss your reasons with your coworkers -- would you feel comfortable discussing that @ a SF tech company?

A bloom filter is the most appropriate data structure for this use-case. How is it overkill when it uses less space and is faster to query?

Were you lying when you explicitly told me the opposite or did you decide after my submission (going by commit dates) to make this a "real" project?

You didn't steal my code; you stole my _ideas_ and are now presenting them as your own original work. Shame on you.

It's basically this, but with ~100 lines of bash. As simple as it gets.

If Gravitational asks you to complete an 'engineering challenge' they are using you for free labour.

FYI to readers, the above project was completed as part of a 'take-home assignment' that I was explicitly told was not a project being worked on.

The feedback I received indicated that this approach was not considered previously, and may indicate (also your commit dates) that this entire project may have been fabricated after my submission.

Here's the feedback from Gravitational around Oct 2018 (before this project was 'started'):

> * I do think re-using the kubernetes certs for IPSec is a compelling solution for the IPSec secrets

> * I like the re-use of the kubernetes keys/certs for ipsec as it avoids use of the PSK

At least it was released as OSS, but seriously you should be ashamed of yourselves.
