I just happened to be thinking about the books yesterday, and I was wondering...what are the odds GRRM will actually manage to write the last of the series?
I looked into it, and apparently he's got ~75% of the 6th book done, and the 7th will be just a big. And it's been years been #5 and 6.
At this point this has got to be a worse job than being the Queen King. People will not let him retire...
Maybe if he didn't let himself get involved in these side-projects like that second TV series...

I couldn't cope with the GOT books - I slogged through the first two, maybe three and gave up. For me, this was a rare case when the TV series was better than the books.
Personally, I wish Patrick Rothfuss would finish the third book in the The Kingkiller Chronicles. Now that's torturous, it's been years since book #2.

Donβt read the Wheel of Time series thenβ¦ 
I remember reading one of them (@ roughly 1000 pages) and realizing at the end that every major character was still in the same situation as they were at the beginning. Sadly the TV series is pretty lameβ¦

Iβve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

You could try "The Last of the Renshai". At least the first one.
Guarantee that book does not have that problem.

I went through the first (only) and thought it was ok - I was actually impressed by how closely the TV series followed some scenes described in the book. My understanding is that as the TV series progress, it starts to deviate a lot from the books...which is quite understandable.
I have the remaining books (that are available at this time), and I'm honestly not sure when I'm going to go through them - the author being slow isn't much of a factor in my case. I'm a slow reader, and sadly pretty much gave up on reading anything longer than a few pages worth of material. These days, if I sit down / lie down to read a book, within 10 minutes I'm struggling to stay awake, even if I do it at a time when I feel well-rested. It's infuriating, as I like to read.

Read the article, a game of Game of Thrones ISN'T coming...
A fan just made a trailer of what it would look like, but no actual game is in the making for as far as we know.

In the same way that, since "-gate" is now a suffix used to imply a scandal, Watergate[^] should really be called "Watergate-gate".

What would happen if you pasted ChatGPT's own code into it?

Actually, a complier is complete when it finally compiles itself. Before that a "helper" language is used. I think for Rust, C++ has been used until it was able to compile itself.

It'd pass it off as it's own work and give it to the next homework question asker.

So Improve means "condense it down" or "add back a line deliberately commented out".
I feel like all this "pass it through GPT" is leading everyone in circles. It's absolutely doing a fantastic job of taking text (prose, code, whatever) and producing a version that best matches its training data and bias. It spits out great looking text and generates code that is either the most commonly found code for this text prompt, or the code it was trained to produce. This will just get better and better.
But it is still about "most likely". Not "actually correct" and so we generate this great looking code and then spend all this time running around debugging and correcting.
Definitely good to start from something that's well structured and fix that, but let's put this in perspective. (and saying that, the fact it can even do this is mind blowing at a conceptual level, but disarmingly trivial at the mathematical level if you're OK with thinking trillion-parameter simultaneous equations are trivial. All in all a proper mind-bend).
cheers
