@DeepXP Was this from the physical Apple Store or resellers?

I was disappointed with their famous hotdog and soda combo though - the Coke was so watered down that it reminded me of budget buffet options back in my PhD years.

Visited the only Costco in Okinawa today. My first time in a Costco, it was mostly a positive experience. Cheap prices, good selections and a warehouse setting means you tend to purchase a lot more than you originally intended to when you walked in.

Claude also has a unified pool of tokens that is shared among the chatbot, Claude Code and CoWork etc. This is seriously limiting, especially when compared to ChatGPT 🤦🏽‍♂️

Roughly 2 weeks ago, my unit’s yearly LLM subscription renewal was coming up. Claude was put up as a contender for ChatGPT which we were using for more than a year at that point. Glad I decided to stick with ChatGPT, considering the performance degradation Claude is going through

Grateful to Prof Simone Pigolotti for the guidance, and a big thank you to the @OISTedu Grants Section! 🙏

Their kakenhi clinics made the process so much smoother for a first-time applicant. Highly recommend their support! #科研費 #若手研究 #AcademicTwitter #科研費採択

Elated to share that my first ever grant application was successful!

I've been awarded a solo Grant-in-Aid for Early-Career Scientists (#KAKENHI) from #JSPS to support my work on boundary-driven organization of proliferating cells. Excited to dive into this over next 3 years!

[Debsuvra Ghosh @debsuvra]

I was hoping that they’d adjust for the removal in the beginning of next month but since it’s a yearly cycle they aren’t going to do that. My bad, lesson learnt 😕

[Debsuvra Ghosh @debsuvra]

Just learnt that on an annual plan of ChatGPT, if you add a new seat in the middle of your year then the baseline is adjusted and you will still pay for the additional seat at a prorated basis for the remainder of the year, even if you remove that seat afterwards, before year-end

ChatGPT casually deleted an entire project folder after giving a file upload error! What the hell?!

15.4 finally fixed the wifi issues with some older Cisco access points. Can again work from office without needing to carry a LAN dongle around 😌

[Debsuvra Ghosh @debsuvra]

macOS sequoia just borked office WiFi 😟

[Debsuvra Ghosh @debsuvra]

Nothing changed even with 15.1. Office WiFi still doesn’t work on the work laptop! Their current solution is to refrain from updating to Sequoia. I wonder how are they gonna deal with new Macs which will have Sequoia pre installed! 🤷🏽‍♂️

[Debsuvra Ghosh @debsuvra]

@DeepXP I wonder why they still can’t do text well 🤔

[Debsuvra Ghosh @debsuvra]

Pi-hole was not resolving any .ai domains. Digging through the issue via `dig` revealed that keeping DNSSEC enabled on Pi-hole was the culprit. The .ai TLD is DNSSEC-signed and if some .ai domain lacks valid RRSIG, Pi-hole with DNSSEC validation will fail to resolve it #TIL

What's wrong with American higher education? Are colleges corrupt? Greedy? Woke?

I worked for 12 years to earn my BA, MA, and PhD in History. I'm now a professor at one of the more conservative Christian colleges in America.

@Aagan86 I just remembered that we had an interaction about crackers in the past, that’s why I tried to see if I could find the tweets. I’m anti-firecracker for as long I can remember and I’m glad that people are reevaluating their positions 🙂

Observatory finds local 1.1 ºC increase in 20 years, twice as much as predicted by #climateModels @UAB_info @RoyalAstroSoc https://t.co/LzqwpzdnPg

@DeepXP Yeah, it also has presets depending on your play style ranging from solo gaming to social
