Curious about ChatGPT but don't know where to start?

I've just posted a detailed, hour-long YouTube video about how you can use ChatGPT to create custom 'quiz bots' and 'tutor bots' to help students in your class.

Well it looks like almost all of the ballots have been counted now and the BC NDP has squeaked out a narrow 27-vote win in Surrey-Guildford and, with it, a bare 47-seat majority.

I took a bit of a break from number crunching today (Sunday), since while there was a lot of counting of mail-in ballots taking place, the mail-in ballots in the closest ridings were completed Saturday afternoon.

In a separate post, I laid out some of my arguments for why I think most line charts should start at zero.

If there's one thing almost everyone agrees on in data visualization, it's that bar charts should start at zero.

On Monday afternoon, I noticed a tweet from CBC reporter Justin McElroy that the BC Liberals had released riding-by-riding vote totals for their leadership race.
