Using ChatGPT to code can be a real pro= ductivity boost. Instead of reading examples on Stack Overflow and adapting=

<strong>State and time are the same=
thing (5 minute read)</strong>
</span>
<span style=3D"font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, V= erdana, sans-serif;">
State is time and time is state. The on=
ly way to see the passage of time is by measuring changes in observable sta= te. Changes in state matter in that they create new times. If a state updat=
e is purely internal and cannot affect the observable state, then it doesn'=
t advance time. This model can be used to reason about abstract systems.

90% of the chips essential to building AI, but competition is on the rise,=
