Does anyone maintain a programmatically accessible list of holidays for their company? Similar to the HOLIDAYS.txt in the article, but it would allow for things like “don’t run this the day before or during a company holiday.”
I work at a company with different holidays in certain countries, which would complicate things, and require something more structured than a list of dates. But having that accessible could be useful.
Has anyone tackled that, or come across a solution?

I can’t recall ever seeing the contraction “who’re” before. For obvious reasons I suppose.

> Apple said one of the reasons they terminated our developer account only a few weeks after approving it was because we publicly criticized their proposed DMA compliance plan.

WolfCop | 2 years ago | on: Study: ChatGPT outperforms physicians in quality, empathetic answers to patients
From the paper:
> ...the original full text of the question was put into a fresh chatbot session, in which the session was free of prior questions asked that could bias the results (version GPT-3.5, OpenAI), and the chatbot response was saved.
It seems like they just pasted the question in. For those who have asked it for medical advice, how did you frame your questions? Is there a prompt that will help ChatGPT get into a mode where it knows it is to provide medical advice? As an example, should it be prompted to ask follow up questions if it is uncertain?

Does anyone know of good books or other resources to teach kids (7-10 years old) about the evolution of humans? Things like different homo species, how they are related, evidence that has been found, etc.
