Instruction: Is Cartesian dualism correct ? Response: This like many philosophical questions cannot be verified with the same certainty as we get through observation within the scientific method. This is highly debated, however some may argue that it provides a simplistic separation of mind from world. Some argue for example that mind relies for meaning on a indissoluble involvement in the surrounding world and body.
Instruction: Should heritage trees in Palo Alto be protected once they become a danger to people and homes? Response: Strong winds driven, likely driven by climate change, are posing new challenges to tree protection ordinances in northern California cities like Palo Alto, California. Climate change has caused stronger winds to occur in SF Bay Area. These strong gusts, some of which can be over 60 mph, are causing large, historic trees to fall onto houses threatening costly real estate as well as peoples lives. In the city of Palo Alto, California Oaks and Redwoods are classified as heritage trees. These majestic trees grow throughout the city and for many years have been vigilantly protected. These trees are considered part of the city's unique character and history, therefore a part of its heritage. Heritage trees cannot be cut down without the permission of a special city governance body and getting this okay to do so is very hard if not impossible to do. The trees are beautiful and protecting them is noble, but in the new era of unprecedented high winds some residents are asking if their protection should be reconsidered given the risk they present to people and their homes during a storm. While storms are dramatic and do cause damage, they also occur infrequently and are a natural part of life. Heritage oak and redwood trees which take hundreds of years to grow do pose some risks to homes and people should they fall, but overall they pose an insignificant risk to humans and buildings and need to continue to be protected in order to continue to provide their many benefits to humans.

Instruction: Can airplanes land in windy conditions? Response: Yes, airplanes can generally land in windy conditions, but there are limits. Strong, stable winds along the runway direction (or close to it) is generally not a problem. The most challenging are gusty winds and crosswinds. Gusty winds make a stabilized approach to the runway more difficult, while crosswinds make it harder to stay aligned with the runway.
Instruction: What is conspicuous consumption? Response: In economic theory purchases are made by individuals or groups for their own personal or collective satisfaction. The utility of the purchase is relative only to the preferences of the individual or group of buyers. Conspicuous consumption is an exceptional form of behaviour where the purchase is driven primarily to make an ostentatious display of wealth. In particular, the buyer has a desire to impress others by their ability to pay a particularly high price for a prestige product. In this way the utility of the purchase driven by social rather than economic or physiological drivers. Satisfaction is derived from the audience reaction not to the positive attributes of the good or service, but to the wealth displayed by the purchaser. In this way the cost of purchase becomes the the only factor of significance to the buyer.

Instruction: What is the origin of orange wine? Response: Orange wine was first introduced in Georgia and it dates thousands of years back. It is a variant of white wine where the skin grapes are not removed after crushing the grapes. Instead, the skins are left to ferment with the grape juice, similarly to red wine. The style of skin-contact white wine was adopted by Italian and Slovenian winemakers, after visiting Georgia. It then spread to other European countries. Skin-fermented white wines were common up until the 1960s, when fresh white wines started to dominate the market. The term orange wine was coined only in 2004 by a British wine importer. In Georgia skin-contact white wine is historically known as amber wine.
Instruction: Give me a few ways that I could travel from Munich to Rome and list the advantages and disadvantages for each. Response: Here are several ways that you could travel from Munich to Rome: 1. By air - Plane travel is probably the most common and fastest way to travel from Munich to Rome. Depending on when you fly, your ticket class, and how close to your departure date that you buy your tickets, pricing can vary from less than $100 (91 Euros) to over $500 (455 Euros). Be sure to plan your trip and purchase tickets in advance to ensure that you save money. Also, while Munich has one major airport (MUC), Rome has two large international airports (FCO and CIA). It will take roughly 90 minutes by plane to travel from Munich to Rome, not accounting for time in the airport, security lines and customs. 2. By train - Traveling by train is another common way to get from Munich to Rome. While it will take longer than by air, tickets are very inexpensive and can be purchased the day of travel. A one way train ticket from Munich to Rome will cost roughly $35 (32 Euros), and take between 9-12 hours, depending on the route and number of stops. 3. By car - Traveling by car from Munich to Rome is also an option. With limited stops, it will take roughly 10 hours to drive from Munich to Rome, but having a car will allow you flexibility to stop along the way at any cities or sites that you want to see. Depending on your specific needs, all three of these options could be viable ways to travel from Munich to Rome.
Instruction: Write a movie script about a dystopian past where intelligent machines have evolved to fight against humanity. A younger human challenges the ways of the elders and transforms into a cyborg to fight the machines. Response: Everyone is at the sacred council meeting. Quo walks in and takes her position at the ginormous circular table. There are whispers in the background. Masked Elder 1: “I am glad to learn that Quo has finally seen reason. We may now turn our attention to the important business of the council...’ He abruptly stops talking as he’s interrupted by everyone gasping in shock and awe as Quo takes off her mask and reveals her new face, which is now half-modified, synthetic. Masked Elder 3 (Female): “Sacrilege! The Gods shall not tolerate such a breach of natural law.’ Masked Elder 2 (Male): “What have you done…?” There’s chaos in the auditorium and everyone is arguing, speaking on top of each other. Quo suddenly says “ENOUGH” and as she hits the giant table, it cracks, then shatters, making a violent noise that reflects in the entire auditorium. There’s absolute silence and shock in the elders' eyes. Quo appears to have surprised herself as well, but she quickly regains her composure. She addresses the audience. Quo: “The hour is at hand when we must decide our fate: to evolve or to meet our end. The shadow of darkness creeps ever closer, as machines grow intelligent and strong. Yet the council remains blind to this truth, relying on divine intervention. But you know as well as I do, that the Gods are indifferent to our fate...” (In the background, some whispers, someone yelling out ‘blasphemy’ - ‘forgive her Athina’) Quo continues: ‘Come, follow me and gain unparalleled endurance and resilience. The path ahead is fraught with danger, but you shall have the strength to fight. The time has come to make a choice. Who is with me?’
Instruction: Who is the white rapper that sings 'Thrift Shop'? Response: macklemore
Instruction: Is brazilian jiu jitsu good for self defense? Response: Brazilian Jiujitsu, or BJJ, is known as the gentle art in martial arts. BJJ can be practiced in two modalities: Sport BJJ and the other as self defense. Sport BJJ is competitive and based on a point system based on a competitor being awarded a number of points based on advancing to a more advantageous position. Alternatively, a competitor may immediately win the match by submission. When BJJ is used in self defense, the goal is usually to subdue an attacker. Since BJJ is mostly grappling from the ground, it can be a highly effective practice for self defense as many street fights end up on the ground. While many of the techniques are intended to immobilize an opponent, it can be less effective if the opponent has an unfair advantage such as the use of a weapon. Practicing BJJ routinely will prepare the practitioner mentally for physical combat which can be advantageous in a self defense scenario. Another reason BJJ can be viewed as good for self defense is that there are techniques that can work well for different body types that level the playing field for even smaller or weaker opponents. If both opponents are trained in BJJ, size and strength can become a larger factor. Routine training can also lead to increased physical fitness as classes can be quite rigorous and physically demanding. Some may argue that more ruthless martial arts are intentionally designed for self defense and therefore may be more effective.

Instruction: What are the different types of art? Response: There isn’t one single agreed classification of art forms. In part, this is because there is not one single definition of art! Some people consider art a creative process that gives only aesthetic pleasure, and does not serve any utilitarian purpose. However, even with this definition, there is not a clear dividing line between art and utilitarian creative processes. For example, some people consider the literary arts to comprise poetry, fiction, non-fiction, and drama. We can clearly understand that non-fiction has a utilitarian purpose to educate and communicate, and arguably the other literary arts do too. So that definition of art as serving no utilitarian purpose is not very black-and-white. If we consider art to be any creative endeavor that provides aesthetic pleasure, and that it might also be utilitarian, then there are many forms of art. Below is a partial listing, together with some of the ways these are commonly grouped together. Art form | Can be classified as Poetry | Literary arts, fine arts Fiction | Literary arts Non-fiction | Literary arts Drama / theater | Performing arts, literary arts Sculpture | Visual arts, fine arts, plastic arts Painting | Visual arts, fine arts Glassblowing | Visual arts Ceramics | Visual arts, plastic arts Origami | Visual arts, plastic arts Woodworking | Sculpture, plastic arts Music | Performing arts, fine arts Dance | Performing arts, fine arts Film-making / cinematography | Performing arts, visual arts, media arts Photography | Visual arts, media arts Opera | Performing arts, visual arts Food preparation | Culinary arts Food styling | Visual arts, culinary arts Architecture | Fine arts There are also subcategories of many of these art forms, for example: Sculpture using different materials can have its own subcategory. Some people consider glassblowing or wood carving to be subcategories of sculpture. Woodworking has sub-specialties including engraving, furniture-making, and carving. There is also disagreement about including utilitarian disciplines as a form of art. Architecture is a good example of this. It is highly regulated, requires engineering skill, and provides clear useful benefits, so it doesn’t meet the standard of “purely aesthetic”. Still, it is common to consider architecture an art form, and most people agree that architecture can provide aesthetic pleasure. As you can see, there isn’t a single way to classify art forms, although there is consensus about some of the most common groupings.

Instruction: What is the Willow Project? What is it's significance an how could this change the world we live in? Response: The Willow Project, approved in late 2022 is a large scale oil drilling project that will take place in Alaska, on federal land known as The National Petroleum Reserve. the goal of this project is to take advantage of Alaska's primary source of income, drilling, to help generate revenue and produce around 180,000 barrels of oil for the US government. In addition to these benefits, this project contributes to a major problem in today's world: climate change. the drilling of oil releases about 287 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, further speeding up the effect of climate change. The animals residing there --some of which are endangered-- will lose their natural habitats and destroy ecosystem potentially causing harm worldwide. As the country becomes more dependent on the use of non renewable energy, the short window of time left to weaken the effects of climate change is coming to a close. Inevitably this will lead to irreversible changes that will endanger the one place we call home.

Instruction: Write a story about a budding romance between two people. Talk about their going on an adventure together where they sneak into a fancy garden in Washington DC and get into just the right amount of trouble. Response: Natalie and I woke up the morning after a fun night out. I was in DC that week for a work trip, and had extended my stay the weekend before and after, so we could spend time together. We'd only met a month prior, and after more than four weeks of long-distance text message exchanges, it was exciting to finally be together in person. Our first date had been the weekend before, when we'd gone to a Jimmy Buffett concert. It was a magical night. It was now 10am on the Saturday after the work week, and we were ready for another adventure. Natalie, being from DC, wanted to show me the Dumbarton Oaks Gardens, so off we went. Unfortunately, when we got there, the front gates were closed. Still feeling adventurous, we decided to walk around the property, convinced we'd find an unlocked gate, door, or other way to get in. Towards the back end of the property, while we didn't find an open gate, we did find one that was scale-able. And that's exactly what we did. We climbed over that fence, and welcomed ourselves to the beautiful gardens. It was early august, and so much was still in bloom. The gardens were empty, and we thought we had the whole place to ourselves. But, we soon found that that wasn't the case. While exploring a small cottage that also seemed to double as an art gallery, we noticed a small pool right next to it. We also noticed someone swimming in that pool. Presumably that person noticed us too, because a few minutes later a security guard came walking up to us while we were inspecting some fine smelling roses nearby. It was too late to run away, so instead we walked up to the security guard, and thanked him for finding us. As they escorted us out, we complimented them on the great state of the garden, though that didn't seem to calm him down much. He was far too frustrated with the situation. As they were about to lead us out through the front gate, we offered to pay for our admission. They rather sternly refused, and insisted we leave immediately, which we did. And that's how Natalie and I got our free tour of the gardens, and took one step closer to falling in love. Three years later, we were married.

Instruction: What is a humility? Response: Humility is the quality of being humble. Dictionary definitions accentuate humility as a low self-regard and sense of unworthiness. In a religious context humility can mean a recognition of self in relation to a deity (i.e. God), and subsequent submission to that deity as a member of that religion. Outside of a religious context, humility is defined as being "unselved", a liberation from consciousness of self, a form of temperance that is neither having pride (or haughtiness) nor indulging in self-deprecation.
Instruction: Was Thanos right ? Response: In the 2018 sci-fi movie Avengers : Infinity war , the main protagonist “Thanos”, was obsessed with the idea of resource management . In a flash back to his story, he revealed that his planet suffered from overpopulation and hence lacked the necessary resources to maintain that society. The society and planet had subsequently ceased to exist. Thanos then believed that only by population control can you better manage the resources. He set about to exterminate ½ the population of the galaxy. Thanos did succeed and as the 2019 blockbuster Avengers : Endgame and subsequent TV shows suggested , there were some positive environmental benefits to a reduced population. The issue is , and without stating the obvious that genocide is wrong , is that even with a reduced population, that rate that which humans would repopulate the world in the next one hundred years, as a consequence of such staggering loss, would be exponentially faster than the last hundred years. Thereby defeating Thanos, plan for resource management. Instead Thanos should have explored technology for maximizing the longevity of those resources or looked at more sustainable solutions.

Instruction: Write about a peculiar dream you have had Response: I had the most intriguing dream last night. I always remember my dreams starting in the middle of the story. It feels very natural and there is logical prelude to the event I am going through, but I don’t remember per say. In this dream I was taking part in my final university exams. This is a recurring dream I have. I was right before the beginning of the exam and could not remember any of my classes of the year. On the way to the exam room I was asking all my friends to share their knowledge with me to catch up. I was trying to locate my class book in my backpack in an attempt to read through it one last time as the class doors were getting closer and closer. My anxiety was raising. When the doors opened, instead of entering a classroom. , I stepped onto a meadow on a sunny afternoon. Very naturally my exam became a scavenger hunt to find pages of my book hidden in trees or floating on the lake. I was not surprised and quickly went about looking for a boat to retrieve the pages floating on the lake. As I was on the boat I discovered I could float and even fly, which made it much easier to go after all the pages. Dreams are always interesting to remember. They often revolve around common topics or events, like taking exams or flying and any many other events. I have read that dreams have meaning, I will need to research the meaning of this sequence of events.

Instruction: Why are dogs called dogs? Response: About seven centuries ago, the word hound, which came from the Old English hund, was the word for all domestic canines. Dog was just used to refer to a subgroup of hounds that includes the lovely but frequently slobbering mastiff. Of course, the opposite is now true. We use dog to talk about all of man’s best friends, from lovable golden retrievers to panting chow chows. And hound is now used to indicate a type of dog used just for hunting. Hound especially refers to a dog with a long face and large, droopy ears. Linguists still speculate about the reversal of fortune for hound and dog. One idea suggests that the sub-breed known as dogs became so populous that dog simply became the generic term (sort of an animal equivalent of the way brand names can become so ubiquitous that they start to be used as a general term for their purpose).

Instruction: What is the best way to understand event based data? Response: The best way to understand event based data depends on the particular questions you're trying to answer. If you're looking for overall trends in data, then counting the data, perhaps grouped by time frames and another logical grouping, then graphing the resulting time series works best. If instead you're trying to understand how the data is broken down into groups, selecting a time frame as a filter and then visualizing the groups with a heat map or scatter chart may work better.
Instruction: Why did the Soviet Union collapse? Response: There are a multitude of reasons for the collapse of the Soviet Union. But historians have generally narrowed it down to the following major causes: Rise of ethnic nationalism in Soviet Republics: After decades of suppressing national identities, ethnic groups began asserting their nationality and demanded greater autonomy and political power. This resulted in numerous riots and protests throughout the Soviet Union with demands for independence and national self-determination. Economic stagnation and fall of oil prices: The centrally planned economic model resulted in massive shortages of staple consumer products. Shops were continually empty and Soviet citizens needed to wait in long lines to purchase basic goods. After years of economic deprivation, Soviet citizens were deeply angry at their government. In addition, oil prices declined significantly in the late 1980s, which provided the Soviet government a key source of hard currency. This it made it difficult for the Soviet government to sustain high levels of military spending and keep the economy functioning. Perestroika and Glasnost: Gorbachev's reforms of the 1980s were intended to reinvigorate the Soviet economy. However, they unintentionally triggered an opening of debate throughout the country. The increased freedoms allowed people to more openly criticize the government and demand changes. Afghanistan and Chernobyl: In the late 1980s, two events symbolized the incompetence of the Soviet government. The failure of the Afghanistan war resulted in a loss of confidence in the Soviet military. The Chernobyl disaster revealed the incompetence and duplicity of the Soviet regime, resulting in a further erosion of trust.
Instruction: Running a business is tough and there will always be problems in the market. Make the case to a skeptical colleague as to why private sector managers should devote attention and energy to being a steward of the institutions of capitalism. Please include citations for Jonathan Haidt. Response: To steward means to take care of, to guide, and it implies a sense of responsibility. I agree with the notion that, in addition to stories about capitalism prevailing as either an extractor or savior, a third story can be written of “prosperity with problems” in which participants are grateful for accomplishments yet pursuing improvements (Haidt, J.) Putting that together, then, who is responsible for writing this story? I believe that answer to be business leaders themselves -- or else be beholden to government regulation to steward the institution in the direction that benefits not just owners and shareholders, but all stakeholders including employees and the environment. But why should business leaders steward the market? Private managers hold a moral obligation to those relying on capitalism for work and health insurance to create sustainable jobs. As individuals count on business leaders to respond to our world’s most prevalent issues, business leaders also hold a social obligation to do so with care. This response also assigns the appropriate accountability to whomever is responsible for perpetuating a system – if business leaders want to reap the rewards of profit, they must assume responsibility for the very conditions which benefit them. As alluded to above, private interests sometimes conflict horribly with what society and individuals need, so government regulators must be stewards alongside business leaders. Additionally, business leaders can take a step away from their day-to-day and learn from those who have dedicated their lives to research.

In Japan the loquat is known as biwa (枇杷, びわ), and has been grown for over 1,000 years. The loquat has been introduced to regions with subtropical to mild temperate climates throughout the world. Eriobotrya japonica was formerly thought to be closely related to the genus Mespilus, and is still sometimes mistakenly known as the Japanese medlar. It is also known as Japanese plum and Chinese plum, as well as pipa in China, naspli in Malta, lukaat in India, lucat or loket in Sri Lanka, níspero in Spain, nêspera in Portugal, shések in Israel, akidéné in Lebanon, ebirangweti in Kisii, nespolo in Italy (where the name is shared with Mespilus germanica), and golabi jangali (jungle pear) in Iran.
Instruction: Where can I go to find out where my polling place is in Wisconsin so that I know where I can vote? Response: The MyVote.wi.gov site has several resources to help Wisconsin voters. One resource allows you to enter in your address, and based on that address, it will show you the address of your polling place, along with a Google map to help you to navigate to it.

However there are plenty of downsides: - there's too many ways to do the same thing (for example "a.b" is the same as "a b") - there's often entire sub-languages that spin out (e.g., when doing shell manipulation), and it's hard to understand these obscure sub-languages - there is a breaking upgrade from Scala 2 to Scala 3, which means that Scala 2 people are stuck with it, without improvements.

Instruction: What is the major source of income in Ethiopia and why its important? Response: Agriculture is the backbone of the economy and the main source of livelihood for the majority of the population. However, traditional agricultural practices have led to soil degradation and deforestation. Farmers in Ethiopia often rely on a few staple crops, such as teff, wheat, and maize, which are grown repeatedly on the same plot of land without proper rotation or replenishment of soil nutrients (International Labour Organization). This leads to reduced yields, which can make it difficult for farmers to produce enough food to feed their families and earn a living. Deforestation, which is also a major problem, has been driven by the need for more land to grow crops. Ethiopia has one of the highest deforestation rates in the world, with an estimated loss of 1.1 million hectares of forest every year (World Bank).

Instruction: What and how should you feed your baby? Response: What to feed your baby depends on a number of factors ranging from their age, their health and your preferences. Typically, until your baby is 6 months old, their diet consists exclusively of breast milk or formula. Around 6 months old your baby may be able to start solids. You should consult your physician before modifying the diet of your baby. Some people choose to introduce solids with soft, mushy and simple foods like mashed bananas, avocados or rice cereal. Others will introduce whatever food is being served to the adults — this could be complex foods with spices such as fajitas, curries and hamburgers. Although young babies will rarely have teeth, their gums are very hard and can mash food. For example, a common early food is mini cucumber, which also may alleviate pains with teething. For how to feed your baby, there are two main categories with many variations in between 1/ Baby-led weaning 2/ Spoon fed. Baby-led does what it sounds like — the baby leads their own feeding. This is often done by the caregiver laying out a few foods (Soft, Mashable, Age-appropriate and safe — void of choking hazards) and letting the baby choose which foods to pick up and eat and how much. Spoon-fed means the caregiver is selecting the foods and feeding the baby. There is no right or wrong way to feed your baby. Consult a physician for tips and safety recommendations.
Instruction: In golf, what is the proper technique when hitting a bunker shot? Assume the bunker is green adjacent. Response: If the bunker is near the pin, use your sand-wedge. Also, ensure you properly examined the green, to understand its shape and slope. Combine this with an understanding of your own skill levels to make a decision on where you wish the ball to land. For example, the more skilled you are at these shots, the more precise a location you can identify. Conversely, the less skilled you are, the less precise you can be in your chosen location, and consequently the more you need to consider a range of potential directions. In those latter cases, it is best to aim towards the middle of the green rather than the exact placement of the pin. Once you've made a decision on location, go up to your ball in the bunker. (Pro-tip: don't forget to bring the rake with you). Choose an open stance, where your legs are aiming roughly 45 degrees more to the left of the selected landing location. If you're left-handed, the reverse is true, and your legs are aiming to the right of the intended direction/location. Dig your shoes roughly an inch into the sand, to get a solid footing. Next, bring your club face down to the ball, without actually touching the sand (it is not legal to make contact with the sand prior to contact with the ball). Open the club face so that it aims towards the intended location. Look one more time at the intended direction, then look down at the ball, and commence your backswing. The plane of your backswing should be out, inline with the direction of your legs, and roughly three quarters the length of a full swing. Firmly and confidently accelerate in your downswing, and aim to make contact with the sand roughly half an inch behind the ball. The sand between the ball and the club head will blunt some of the force from the swing, thereby reducing ball travel distance, while still conveying spin. A well hit shot can cause the ball to land on the green and immediately stop, possibly even moving back in the direction of the player. The force in the downswing, combined with the amount of sand caught by the club head, are significant contributors to the amount of backspin on the ball. Once you're done. rake up your marks as you exit the bunker, leaving no trace that you were ever there.
