Desiderata by Max Ehrmann

Not feeling a 100% today, so in order to keep up my streak of writing at least one line, today I'll leave you with one my favorite things to read every so often. Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be…

Why I only use AI as a search engine

I still clearly remember the day my colleagues at work found out about Gipty. No one could believe what they were looking at, just like them I was thoroughly impressed. Can't remember why but it was almost another couple of months before I started using it regularly with…
