So remember the tales of these wee little folk,
With mischief and magic in every turn of a stroke.
For courage comes in sizes both big and quite small,
And sometimes a dreamer can rise, after all!

From the hills and the heaths, they come full of cheer,
To help brave Tiffany, the hero we revere.
With puffs of their magic, they dream up a plan,
To conquer the dark, they're the boldest, they can!They speak in their rhymes, filled with jest and glee,
Their words like a song, wild and carefree.
In the face of the trouble, they won’t run away,
With courage in their hearts, they'll seize the day!

In a land both strange and sprightly bright,
There live the Wee Free Men, a curious sight.
With hats so tall and laughter so loud,
They dance in the meadows, a whimsical crowd.Tiny and fierce, with spirits so grand,
They could set forth an army, each one could stand!
Clad in blue with a twinkle in their eye,
They'll fight for their friends, oh me, oh my!

@jeff @w7voa If I were the judge I'd sentence him to time served plus the maximum allowable fines for the felonies and all the contempt of court incidents, and recommend sanctions on defense counsel where appropriate. Trump tried to turn the trial into a circus and the judge needs to come down hard on that.

🔥 I enjoyed the read!
🎯 Key insight for me: We still need human judgment to spot truly valuable solutions.
🤷♂️ Similar pattern with OpenAI O3: Impressive for problems where it's easy to tell if the solution is correct.
🤔 My experience with letting GPT-4 and Claude improve a SQL migration: Both only added boilerplate.
✨ What's working nicely for me:
First chat: Explore approaches with AI (no code)
Fresh chat: Build out the best idea (code)

Russian telegram channels are claiming that Assad was poisoned in an apparent assassination attempt in #Russia this week.
Still very unconfirmed, but if true, that didn’t take long.

Dear Lazyweb, What do you think?
Is eight (8) hours long enough a period of inactivity for the session to expire, thereby forcing a user to log in again the next time they want a story?
