The strange dissonance of loathing something in its present form and missing it for, if not what it necessarily *was*, then what it could've been…

💔 So bummed to be missing this in person, but I know you'll be phenomenal!

Honestly, my misreadings are just always more interesting. Like, last week 🍎 news headline was something like: “Inside Pentagon's years long UFO studies"…which I read as "Inside Patagonia's years long UFO studies". 💭 Great outdoor gear AND extraterrestrial studies?! Way to go, Patagonia!

I haven't used ChatGPT to code much…BUT this 5-min video w/ Matt Dancho is a nice lil' case study/crash course: 🦾 “How to R code faster with ChatGPT” https://www.business-science.io/code-tools/2023/04/30/chatgpt-prompt-osmdata.html

ChatGPT Prompt Guide (for R users). The mistake I was making was not being specific enough in directing chatgpt what R code I want it to write for me.  If you look at what I’m doing now… Image shows example ChatGPT prompt: "Using the osmdata R library, write R code to find the locations of all pharmacies in Pittsburgh. Then use mapview to visualize the pharmacies on a map." Arrows point to osmdata and mapview with the annotation "Which R libraries?". Arrows point to the word pharmacies with the annotation "What business Type". Arrows point to the word Pittsburgh with the annotation "Which location?".
