I can already tell my skills have improved exponentially, and I haven't touched a drop yet. I just ordered coffee through the terminal…

@jjordanwade I'm not even 100% sure yet what to use the Wolfram Alpha plugin for with Chat GPT plus. What're the use cases you're interested in? Feel like I'm missing out on something 🙈

My friend @rkdd showed me @stackai. It is awesome! If you want to quickly build out a bot that answers questions based on your documents, one click and done.

Today is the kickoff for building a new product that has been market-tested in a series of “pilot programs” for the last few months as a low code MVP.

Here’s what the current system looks like:

You might remember galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 as the very first Webb image unveiled! Here it is as seen by Webb in infrared light plus Chandra in X-ray light:

Circular stone tablet was recovered from 650 BC, library of King Ashurbanipal in Nineveh, Iraq; late 19th century. Thought to be an Assyrian tablet, computer analysis has matched it with sky above Mesopotamia in 3300 BC, proves it to be of much more ancient Sumerian origin.

In TypeScript, you can create a custom function to check an object's type.

This is called a "User Defined Type Guard"

The function returns true if the argument passed appears to be the expected type.

This is a handy way to "narrow" types on plain JS objects.

Reusable component design tip:

Extend the native root element's type, and pass native props to the root element via rest syntax.

Benefits:
1. Your type declaration doesn't need specify all valid props.

2. Users can still pass all valid HTML attributes to the root element.

One of my favorite Thomas Jefferson quotes (and one that suggests he wouldn’t want us to keep asking how the 18th century men who drafted our early documents thought about modern issues).

@alfredapp Awesome, new Alfred version! 👏 FYI Tried to upgrade to a Legendary license, but the https://t.co/qXu4Jcf0US request was spinning forever. I'll try again later, but I upgraded for free in mean time. Would still like to donate, though. LMK if you can help.

[Scott Tolinski @stolinski]

This is so good.
