ChatGPT with Code Interpreter is now live, and it's very good, notably at coding interview questions. Here's a longer article if you're interested.

• There was a thread of economists favorite graphs, starting with the nail production as a % of US GDP. (used to be about half a percent of US GDP was just making nails). Others included: the cost of light adjusted for inflation (it's down a lot). Saudi food production (nothing, huge spike, ran out of water, cratered). Child mortality worldwide over the last 200 years (it's way down, the past was horrible). Inventor Immigrants vs Inventor Emigrants (Inventors come to the US, and leave China). Coal consumption broken down by usage over the last century (More coal was used for residential heating than electricity as recently as 1950!)
