with how useful gpt-o3 has gotten and it having a relatively low usage cap, it feels like using genie wishes. i gotta make sure this is worded *perfectly* so i don't use up one of my wishes on a misunderstanding

messaging platforms that don't have emoji reacts are barbaric. what, are we supposed to reply "OK"? rude. "Thank you"? infinite loop for hosts/services trying to maintain their reply rate. Silence? ARE THEY MAD AT ME

holy shit, more than half of my seagoing former colleagues were just fired in the government staff cuts before going full-time in crypto, i was a marine chemist and i worked with the one of the longest-running publicly-available datasets in the world - the dataset has been going for over 75 years now. it provides an extremely valuable picture of the chemical, physical, and biological changes off the california coast whether the project survives this is in question. at minimum, we're going to have a really big gap in data that people rely on to predict weather patterns, keep fisheries operating, and generally provide readily-available data for thousands of scientists to make inferences that relate to their own research fun fact: regions like this are less than 1% of the physical space in the ocean but they produce 20% of the fish catch because of how productive they are. they're INCREDIBLY important to study and predict for being able to EAT FISH
