WolfCop··on I was just scammed by Polymarket
It sounds like they were scammed, and I feel bad for them. But they probably don’t realize how funny this comment is.

> In the case of Maduro, the operation cost around $300 million so a $400,000 payout isn’t providing a financial incentive.

It is if you are spending someone else’s $300 million, and getting the $400,000 yourself.

WolfCop··on More dynamic cronjobs
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?

WolfCop··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?
