The tips of her fingers turn numb as dread wells inside of her. What if no one finds her? How long can she last? She shuts her eyes to calm herself, but the dark makes it even worse, so she flicks them open again.

These guys are great! I donate every year and may I suggest that some of the crafts they sell on behalf of the elders make great Christmas presents?
Time once again to rep my favorite place for giving: anelder.org - they supply food, firewood and supplies for traditional crafting to Navajo Elders. If you have the cash, please give these folks a hand.

After more than a decade of writing while sitting on plain kitchen chairs, I decided to treat myself to an early Christmas/birthday gift with a brand new office chair!

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick.
Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

Straining her ears, she hears the rustle of a blanket and the whisper of footsteps across the carpeted floor, but they’re headed in the opposite direction of her. Ness rolls cautiously to her other side and sneaks a glance.
