GPT Just Recovered $500 in a Legal Case
While traveling abroad, I was robbed and forced to withdraw $500 from an ATM. My bank told me that this wasn't recoverable since it was not via their ATM. I asked GPT what I should do and it informed me to write a complaint to the FDIC, which was not 100% correct, but they routed it to the CFPB. GPT then wrote the complaint for me that ultimately got me a call from the bank's executive office which returned the stolen funds to my account after another 'investigation'.

In plain words
This is a user account of how GPT assisted in recovering $500 lost during theft abroad. When a bank initially refused to reimburse the withdrawn funds, the user consulted GPT for guidance on filing a complaint. GPT suggested contacting the FDIC, which redirected the complaint to the CFPB. GPT then helped draft the formal complaint, which prompted the bank's executive office to investigate and ultimately restore the stolen funds to the user's account.

This works suprisingly well. Just give it instructions like "make it winter" or "remove the cars" and the photo is altered. Here are some examples of transformations it can make: Golden gate bridge: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brycedrennan/imaginAIry/ma...

I integrated this new InstructPix2Pix model into imaginAIry (python library) so it's easy to use for python developers.

The project is called QueryStorm. It uses Roslyn to offer C# (and VB.NET) support in Excel, as an alternative to VBA. I've posted about it before, but a lot has changed since then so figured I'd share an update. The current version includes a host of new features, namely a C# debugger, support for NuGet packages, and the ability to publish Excel extensions to an "AppStore" (which is essentially a NuGet repository). The AppStore can be used by anyone with the (free) runtime component. Another great addition is the community license, which is a free license for individuals and small companies…

Hey HN! Some more info: I’m an NHS doctor and the founder of Pi-A (https://www.pi-a.io) which developed Lungy (https://www.lungy.app). Lungy is an app (iOS only for now) that responds to breathing in real-time and was designed to make breathing exercises more engaging and beneficial to do. It hopefully has many aspects of interest to the HN community – real-time fluid, cloth and soft body sims running on the phone’s GPU. My background is as a junior surgical trainee and I started building Lungy in 2020 during the first COVID lockdown in London. During COVID, there were…
