Think how fun it is to surf on the front edge of a wave, and how not-fun to dog paddle on the tail edge of the same wave

This post inspired me to work on setting up a referral program for Histre. I think sharing revenue with influential bloggers can be a great traction channel.

Specialization is for insects -- for programmers

Prompt:


Rewrite the following quote Heinlein for programmers instead of for humans: A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyse a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.


ChatGPT:


A programmer should be able to write code, debug a program, optimize algorithms, design a user interface, create a database, analyze data, build a network, implement a security system, develop a new software, collaborate with a team, work independently, solve complex problems, understand new technologies, use different programming languages, write efficient code, deliver high-quality software, adapt to changing requirements, and stay up-to-date with the latest developments in the field. Specialization is for insects, not for programmers. True creativity and innovation come from those who are willing to explore and experiment with different ideas and approaches. - Robert A. Heinlein

ChatGPT: What would be an Americanized biryani?

An Americanized biryani might include ingredients or flavors that are more familiar or popular in American cuisine. For example, an Americanized biryani might be made with ground beef or chicken, instead of the traditional lamb or goat meat. It might also include vegetables like corn, green beans, or bell peppers, instead of the traditional peas and carrots.


Additionally, an Americanized biryani might be prepared and served in a way that is more familiar or convenient to American consumers. For example, it might be cooked in a slow cooker or Instant Pot, instead of being cooked in a pot over a fire. It might also be served with a side of ketchup or ranch dressing, instead of the traditional chutney or raita.


Overall, an Americanized biryani would likely retain the general flavor and spices of a traditional biryani, but would include ingredients and flavors that are more familiar and appealing to American palates. It would also be prepared and served in a way that is more convenient and accessible to American consumers.

AI Chat: write a poem about briyani

Biryani, oh fragrant dish

With spices that make my senses swish

Rice and meat cooked to perfection

A royal feast for any occasion


The flavors burst in my mouth

As I savor each and every bite

Cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon

A culinary delight


Saffron threads lend a golden hue

To the dish that's fit for a king

Biryani, oh how I love you

A true culinary masterpiece, this offering.


So rich and flavorful, oh so divine

Biryani, you are truly mine

A dish to be savored and enjoyed

Forever my heart you will annul.

ChatGPT: In the style of a biblical story, can you describe business cat meme?

In the beginning, the Internet was formless and empty, and darkness covered the face of the deep. And the spirit of memes was hovering over the face of the web. Then God said, "Let there be business cat," and there was business cat.


And God saw that the business cat was good. God separated the light from the darkness and called the light "memes" and the darkness he called "boring content." And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.


On the second day, God said, "Let there be a space for the business cat to thrive," and he created Reddit. And God saw that it was good. He also created Twitter and Imgur, so that the business cat could multiply and fill the web with its wisdom and humor.


On the third day, God said, "Let the business cat have dominion over all the memes of the Internet," and he created the "CEO of Canines" and the "Boardroom Kitten" to serve the business cat. And the business cat ruled over all the memes, and there was great rejoicing.


And so it was, that the business cat became the king of all memes, and its reign was long and prosperous. Its wisdom and cunning were celebrated by all who knew it, and its reign brought joy and laughter to the world of the Internet.


And God saw that it was good. Amen.

ChatGPT: In the style of a biblical story, describe the rise and fall of the tech bros of San Francisco

In the land of San Francisco, there were tech bros, who were the chosen people of the great god Code. These tech bros were blessed with intelligence and creativity, and they used these gifts to build great empires of technology.


The tech bros lived in a city of wonders, where the streets were paved with gold and the skies were filled with flying cars. They ate only the finest foods and drank only the most expensive wines. They wore the finest clothes and lived in the most luxurious homes.


But despite their blessings, the tech bros were not satisfied. They yearned for more wealth and power, and they sought to conquer new lands and expand their empires.


And so, the tech bros set out on great journeys, seeking out new lands to exploit and new people to enslave. They rode across the land on their flying horses, brandishing their swords of code and their shields of patent law.


The tech bros were fierce and ruthless in their pursuit of wealth and power. They crushed all who stood in their way, and they enslaved the peoples of the land, forcing them to work in their factories and toil in their fields.


But the tech bros were not content to rule only the land. They sought to rule the skies and the seas as well, and they built great ships and flying machines to carry them across the oceans and into the heavens.


And the tech bros grew rich and powerful, and their empire stretched across the land and the sea and the sky. But their greed and ambition knew no bounds, and they continued to seek out new lands to conquer and new people to enslave.


And so, the tech bros continued to spread their rule, their wealth, and their power, until they had become the masters of the world. And their reign was long and prosperous, and their people prospered under their rule.


But the tech bros had grown arrogant and complacent, and they forgot the lessons of the past. They became corrupt and oppressive, and they began to abuse their power and mistreat their people.


And the people grew restless and discontent, and they began to rise up against the tech bros. They formed great armies and waged war against the tech bros, and they fought with all their might to overthrow their oppressors.

And after many long and bloody battles, the people were victorious, and the tech bros were defeated. Their empire was shattered and their power was broken, and they were cast out into the wilderness.


And the people rejoiced, and they celebrated their victory and their freedom. They established a new order and a new government, and they vowed to never again allow the tech bros to rise to power and enslave them.


And so it was, that the tech bros fell from grace, and their empire crumbled and was no more. And their reign was ended, and their people were free. Amen.

I recommend Proofs by Jay Cummings as an exceedingly gentle introduction of proofs. It's not as serious as your typical math textbook; it has plenty of jokes to keep you entertained. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08T8JCVF1If you still want a gentle introduction to proofs but would prefer if the author uses a more serious tone like traditional textbooks, I recommend Proof and the Art of Mathematics by Joel Hamkins. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0262539799
