- kurtreed 4y agoQuestion: Are there infinitely many prime numbers? Answer: To explain, we need to define what a prime number is. A prime number is a number that is divisible only by 1 and itself. For example, 11 is a prime number because it is only divisible by 1 and 11. 11 is not divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10. The question of whether there are infinitely many prime numbers is an open question. It is not known whether there are infinitely many prime numbers. The first few prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 7
- kurtreed 4y agoQuestion: Is there a real number x such that x^2 < 0? Answer: To explain, we need to define what we mean by "real number". If we define a real number as a number that can be written as a fraction, then the answer is no. If we define a real number as a number that can be written as a decimal, then the answer is yes. If we define a real number as a number that can be written as a decimal, then the answer is yes. If we define a real number as a number that can be written as a fraction, then the answer is no. If we define a real number as a number that can be written as a fraction, then the answer is no. If we define a real number as a number that can be written as a decimal, then the answer is yes.

- lowbloodsugar 4y agoMost searched for answer: >The Battlestar is a fictional starship featured in the reimagined science fiction television series Battlestar Galactica. The starship was designed by Richard Hatch and the producers of the series. It was first shown in the pilot episode, "33", and has since appeared in all of the subsequent episodes of the series.
- bena 4y agoThis is such a weird answer. First, the Battlestar Galactica was also featured in the original series. It's the focal point of both series, the namesake, etc. And I don't think Hatch had anything to do with the design of the ships. He was hired as an actor for the first series and while he tried to get a continuation of the original going, he never got there. Then eventually was incorporated in the re-imagined series as a recurring character. Like, it's part right and part wrong and part weird. Edit: Also, technically, the original series could exist in the same continuity as the re-imagined series. In the re-imagined series, it's revealed that all of this takes place in Earth's distant past. In the original series, it's revealed that the show is actually taking place in the present. In both cases, the final destination is our Earth.

The term "weed" is also used to describe plants that are considered to be harmful to humans. What the fuck is the point of this tool?
- jldugger 4y agoI believe the idea is to extract wikipedia-like data from first sources. So slang terms like weed won't pass muster on their demo, since nobody publishes papers on "the effects of weed on the human body" -- they use terms like marijuana, cannabis and THC. Obviously this is a problem for laypeople, but the focus of the research was not on understanding questions, so we shouldn't be too hard on them. It wouldn't be too hard to add an NLP disambiguation to the query engine, but even then we can't expect 100 percent perfection. edit: looks like this is actually ingesting wikipedia too, making it more of an augmentation.

Question: What is size of the universe? Answer: The size of the universe is a subject of debate. The observable universe is the portion of the universe that we can observe from Earth, and is estimated to be 93 billion light-years in diameter. The observable universe is much smaller than the universe as a whole, which is estimated to be 13.8 billion light-years in diameter. The universe is the entire collection of matter and energy in the universe.

- jamesgreenleaf 4y agoI've been wondering about this for years. Finally got an answer. > Prompt: wiki article on Moss-covered three-handled family gredunzas > Result: Moss-covered three-handled family gredunzas (Polish: Trochę węglemiarki) are a distinctive type of ceramic tableware produced in Poland between 1880 and 1910. The name comes from the gredunia, the traditional Polish earthenware pot used for the preparation of food. The gredunzas were produced in three sizes: the smallest, with a capacity of 120-130 cm³, was used to serve the main dish, the medium-sized one, with a capacity of 230-240 cm³, was used to serve salad, and the largest one, with a capacity of 360-370 cm³, was used to serve dessert. The gredunzas were made of red clay, with the exception of the bottom part, which was made of a lighter, cream-coloured clay. The vessels were shaped by hand, and were decorated with a distinctive, delicate pattern, usually in the form of a floral motif. The gredunzas were fired in a wood-burning kiln. The gredunzas were decorated with the use of a characteristic technique, in which the ceramic was covered with a thin layer of moss, then fired, and then painted over. The moss was usually collected from forests in the vicinity of Kraków, and was usually mixed with water, which made it easier to apply. The moss layer was usually covered with a dark brown or black glaze, which was then decorated with white paint. The moss was usually used to cover the whole surface of the vessel, except for the rim, where a white or yellow glaze was used. The use of moss decoration was probably an innovation introduced by the potters of Kraków. The decoration was also occasionally combined with a floral motif.

- nneonneo 4y agoGoogle Maps is generally very good, but will occasionally give you stupid and/or illegal directions. Examples include u-turns at intersections where it is explicitly or implicitly prohibited; turns onto the wrong way of one-way streets; round-about directions in the vicinity of your destination - where it usually expects to route you right in front of the building no matter how impractical that is; and of course general ignorance of temporary obstructions like construction. I've received all of these bad directions and more. Many of these things are to be expected if you understand their data sources, and for most drivers who are paying attention to the road more than the GPS, these are non-issues (e.g. drive legally and let it reroute). But, you do have to do more than just purely rely on Google Maps directions.

P. Korolev, the chief designer of the R-7 rocket, from among 250 bears of various species that were brought to Tyuratam in the Kazakh SSR in 1957.

- FrameworkFred 4y agoIt's interesting for sure: """ Generated document for query "wiki article on yeast pitch rates for german pilsners" Yeast pitch rates for german pilsners Yeast pitch rates for german pilsners are the amounts of yeast used in the fermentation process of brewing pilsner beer. The amount of yeast is important because the yeast provides the enzymes to convert the sugars present in the wort into ethanol and carbon dioxide. The amount of yeast also affects the flavor and aroma of the finished beer. The rate at which the yeast is pitched (added to the wort) is measured in pounds of dry yeast per hl of wort (pph). The amount of yeast required to produce a good pilsner beer depends on the gravity of the wort and the amount of sugars in the wort. In general, the more sugars in the wort, the more yeast is required. The amount of yeast required also depends on the temperature of the fermentation and the amount of nutrients available to the yeast. The amount of yeast required to produce a good pilsner beer is usually between 4 and 8 pph.

Specter outperformed GPT-3 on tasks like citation prediction two years ago. Nobody seriously uses general LLMs on science tasks, so nobody who actually wants to use this cares about your benchmarks. I want to see task-specific models compared to your general model, otherwise whats going to happen is I either need to run my own benchmarks or, much more likely, I shelve your paper and never read it again. If you underperform some that's fine!

- doodpants 4y agoI've occasionally heard that "monads" are an innovation that allows one to handle side effects, such as input and output, in purely functional programming languages such as Haskell. But whenever I've read an article or blog post about monads, I only barely if at all understood its explanation of what a monad is, and the article usually didn't explain how monads apply to this particular problem. So, just now, when faced with Galactica's input box, I decided to ask it this very question, to see if it could finally grant me the enlightenment I've sought for so long: Question: How do monads solve the problem of allowing side effects in a purely functional programming language? Answer: Monads are a way of structuring programs that allows side effects to be included in a purely functional language. I'd call that success! ;-)

- harveywi 4y agoQuestion: Wikipedia article on rectal breathing Answer: Rectal breathing is a technique for controlling the volume of air inhaled into the lungs by increasing the amount of air held in the rectum, thereby reducing the amount of air in the lungs. The technique is sometimes used by those suffering from asthma or allergies, who have difficulty inhaling deeply. It can also be used to reduce hyperventilation, as in anxiety attacks. Rectal breathing is an ancient technique. It was described by the ancient Greek physician Galen in the second century CE, who wrote: "It is the best thing for a person who is affected by an asthma attack to make a fist and put his hand over his mouth and nose and then breathe through his rectum." Rectal breathing is also sometimes used by competitive breath-hold divers, who can hold their breath for over 12 minutes. In order to reduce the amount of air in the lungs, and thus reduce the work of breathing, they hold a large volume of air in their rectum.

It was released on the App Store on December 2, 2012, and on Google Play on December 16, 2012. The game was released for Windows 8 and 8.1 on October 28, 2014. The game involves solving a series of mathematical puzzles. The first puzzle is to count the number of digits in a given number. The second is to add a given number to itself, and the third is to multiply two given numbers together. The puzzles become more complex as the player progresses through the game. The player is awarded "OEIS points" for each correct answer. These points are used to unlock new levels and power-ups. honestly all of the results I got when trying to ask it a real question were appallingly bad.

- GrinningFool 4y agoQuestion: History of the Frnvallians Answer [Not Verified]: The history of the Frnvallians begins in the late Stone Age with the arrival of the ancestors of the modern Frnvallian people. The Frnvallians were one of the three Finnic tribes that settled in the region of modern-day Finland and Russia during the Middle Ages. The other two tribes were the Finns proper and the Estonians. The Frnvallians and Finns are believed to have been the same people until the 13th century. The name of the Frnvallian people comes from the Finnish word rannakko, meaning "wilderness". This name was originally used to refer to the whole Finnish-Russian borderland, but came to be used by the Finns to refer only to the Finns proper. The name was later transferred to the Frnvallians, who were the original inhabitants of the area. The Frnvallian people were also known by other names. The Germanic

- consumer451 4y agoAs I barely understand it, objects are not prevented from travelling faster than light by general relativity. Objects are prevented from acceleration to and beyond the speed of light. Disclaimer: I learned this on YouTube.
- malfist 4y agoMore that objects themselves can't travel faster than the speed of light, but nothing limits non-objects. Spacetime may expand at whatever speed it would like to, including faster than the speed of light. Imagine if you are on a sheet of stretchy fabric, that represents spacetime. If you stretch the sheet from corner to corner at and even rate, things at the edge travel faster away from the things in the center of the sheet. They themselves are not traveling, spacetime is expanding around them.
- consumer451 4y agoThanks, I think I get the spacetime part. I was not very clear previously. Here is the transcript of the YT video I was referring to: > Next, Einstein also showed that if you have any particle which moves slower than the speed of light, then you cannot accelerate it to faster than the speed of light. You cannot do that because it would take an infinite amount of energy. And this is why you often hear that the speed of light is an upper limit. > However, there is nothing in Einstein’s theory that forbids a particle to move faster than light. You just don’t know how to accelerate anything to such a speed. So really Einstein did not rule out faster than light motion, he just said, no idea how to get there. However, there is a problem with particles that go faster than light, which is that for some observers they look like they go backwards in time. Really, that’s what the mathematics says. https://backreaction.blogspot.com/2020/05/is-faster-than-light-travel-possible.html https://backreaction.blogspot.com/2020/05/is-faster-than-lig...

- teraflop 4y agoAmusingly, the answers to both of the prompts "proof of the existence of irrational numbers" and "proof of the nonexistence of irrational numbers" are completely wrong, but the latter is considerably worse: > The proof of the nonexistence of irrational numbers is a mathematical proof that the real numbers cannot be partitioned into two sets such that all elements of one set are irrational numbers and all elements of the other set are rational numbers. In other words, every real number is either rational or irrational. > Assume there exists an irrational number a and a rational number b such that a = b. Since a is irrational, it can be written as a = c/d where c and d are integers and d is nonzero. Thus a = b = c/d, so c/d is a rational number. But this is a contradiction because the rational numbers are closed under division, so c/d is rational if and only if c and d are both rational. Since d is nonzero, it cannot be rational
- Spivak 4y agoHonestly not bad for the proof of irrational numbers, sure mathematically it’s totally wrong but it very accurately writes in the style of mathematicians and it manages to keep its variables consistent and carry forward the knowledge that a = b = c/d.

Contents Plot Plot The film is set in the Soviet Union during the Great Patriotic War, and focuses on the exploits of a group of Soviet prisoners of war. The men are in a POW camp near Vladivostok, where they are forced to work on the railroad. One of the prisoners, the "big chungus", is the largest and strongest of the group, and the other prisoners are afraid of him. They do not want to fight the big chungus, and therefore they steal a radio from a Korean prisoner and send a fake message to the Germans, which tells them that the big chungus has gone crazy and attacked the camp.

With that in mind, you can structure your prompt to get the thing you want: "Real time object-detection on the MS-COCO dataset was demonstrated by" gives a correct result (YOLO).

The cat must then "eat" another player, by touching them, before the cat can be "eaten" itself. The cat may only touch one person at a time. In some variations, players may have to jump over the cat, rather than touch it. The cat may also have to eat two people in succession, before being able to eat itself. In some variations, the cat may have to "eat" an additional player, by touching them, before it can touch the person it is currently touching.

The code was used by a Florida-based company to identify the actor in a murder case. The company, GenePrint, was sued by Cruise in 2005. Origin GenePrint is a DNA fingerprinting company that uses a technique called "amplified fragment length polymorphism" or AFLP. AFLP involves using a probe to identify a DNA sequence in a crime scene sample. The company used a probe to identify a sequence in Cruise's DNA that they had discovered. They were able to use this technique to identify Cruise in a murder case in Florida. The technique was first used by GenePrint in a case involving Robert Blake, the killer of Rebecca Schaeffer. Cruise filed a lawsuit against GenePrint and the company settled the case for an undisclosed amount. The case was dismissed because of the settlement.

Answer: The ancient Greeks were the first to use the bladder of the sheep to prevent earthquakes. They used the idea of water pressure to make the bladder exert a large force on the ground. The idea was that if they were able to increase the force of the water pressure, they could increase the force that the bladder would exert on the ground, and thus prevent earthquakes. The idea was that the sheep would be sacrificed and the bladder would be filled with water. The filled bladder would then be placed over the fault line. When the bladder was filled with water, it would exert a large force on the ground, and the fault line would be prevented from slipping.

- sagebird 4y agoImpressive. Prompt: "Dog food creation society": Dog food creation societies were created in the 1960s as an attempt to find a solution to the problem of obesity in dogs. They were created by breeders, pet food companies, and veterinarians. The societies were created to promote the idea that dogs should not be fed dry kibble, and that they should instead be fed wet food. The first dog food creation society was created in 1963 by a veterinarian in Portland, Oregon. The veterinarian, Dr. Edwin W. Hoyt, was frustrated with the fact that dog owners were overfeeding their dogs, and that the dry kibble being fed to them was contributing to obesity in dogs. Hoyt founded the American Dog Food Association (ADFA), and its main focus was to promote the idea that dogs should not be fed dry kibble. The ADFA's first convention was held in 1964, and by 1967, the ADFA had over 2,000 members. In 1969, Hoyt published the first edition of The Dog Owner's Manual, a book that was created to help dog owners select the right type of food for their dogs. The ADFA had 2,200 members in 1970, and in 1971, Hoyt sold the ADFA to Nestlé, which had been producing wet dog food for several years. In 1968, the American Association of Pet Food Manufacturers (AAPF) was founded. The AAPF was created to promote the idea that dogs should be fed wet food. The AAPF's main focus was to educate the public about the benefits of feeding wet food to dogs. In 1971, the AAPF had 110

- woopwoop 4y agoThe first thing I tried was "Lipschitz selection", a somewhat overloaded phrase that I encountered a lot in graduate school. I guess I had in mind a summary of this paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1801.00325 https://arxiv.org/abs/1801.00325 but would have been happy with a description of work related to this paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1905.11968 https://arxiv.org/abs/1905.11968 or any number of other things. The page I got stated the following, obviously false, "theorem": let M be a metric space, and let S be a subset of M such that inf_{y in S} d(x, y) < infinity for all x in M. Then there exists a map f: M to S such that f(x) = x for all x in S. As far as I can tell, this isn't a garbling of something which is true, it's just nonsense. It suggested that I look up "Whitney extension" which is indeed related to the first paper I posted, so I did that. The opening summary, if you squint hard enough, could arguably be interpreted as true: > The theorems state that any sufficiently smooth function on a closed subset of Rn can be extended to a function on all of Rn with the same level of smoothness. This is really vague though. Like if someone didn't know the actual statement of Whitney's theorem, they would not be able to intuit it from this sentence. You have to be really, really charitable to describe it as true. I'm not being nitpicky here, Whitney produced a pretty non-trivial definition of the notion of a C^m function on an arbitrary closed set (basically you have to specify the entire mth order Taylor polynomial at each point, or a section of the jet bundle if you're fancy). You can check out the actual wikipedia if you're interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitney_extension_theorem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitney_extension_theorem The body of the generated article goes into more detail, and again produces something which is completely false, and not particularly close to anything that is true: > Whitney's extension theorem states that any continuous function on a closed subset of Rn can be extended to a C∞ function on Rn. Finally, I should just say that this is all still really impressive. The sentences are grammatical, and use words somewhat related to the subject at hand. I could imagine a student who hadn't studied the material and was totally in over his head in the class writing things like this on an exam! But I would never use this as a research tool.

- krick 4y agoIt is generally true with NNs that they often cannot admit they don't know something and will output some ridiculous prediction anyway, but I feel it is especially bad with language models, and ESPECIALLY bad with something like this "galactica". Forget that it's pretty bad in its predictions, even if it was not the case, you just cannot rely on it at all, when it can so nonchalantly produce some plausible bullshit. How can you even distinguish? This even sounds like something Lem would totally write. Except he just didn't. (And Polish "translation" isn't right, but I guess you couldn't tell if you don't speak any slavic language. And even then you might believe that "kotel" is "a cat" in Polish — who knows, plenty of weird discrepancies between languages!)

- lofatdairy 4y agoI'm somewhat glad that the creators have the foresight to blacklist words such as "eugenics" since obviously there's a risk that such AI-generated papers would get spread around without anyone looking too deeply at its legitimacy. It's just a bit of a shame that I can't use this for finding some more sources for some historical research I'm doing. "Prove the Riemann hypothesis" was an unsurprising failure. However, disappointingly the language model didn't even attempt a proof at all, instead just doing a disambiguation type page of what it could refer to. Same goes for asking for a few other proofs. It does seem to "know" several algorithm runtimes, but asking "What is the runtime of the clique problem solving algorithm" gives O(n^2) which would be big if true. Asking the algorithm "Who invented the TeX system" gives the correct answer of Don Knuth, though asking "Who invented the freeze ray" gives Nikola Tesla for some reason. Finally, a few gene related questions caused it to fail. Asking for "What genes are involved in mechanosensing in T cells" gives a number of CD* genes, many not expressed in T cells (I hazard here that what's happening is the algorithm is just entering something of a loop state like a few other language models I've seen, where it fails to terminate since the previous few words are similar enough for it to just continue the sequence). Asking "What genes are involved in mechanosensing" is simply answered with "Yes".

The Babylonian culture existed during a very important period in human history: the Axial Age. The Axial Age was a period during which there was a great increase in philosophical, religious, and scientific ideas. These ideas were passed down from one generation to the next through written works, and in Babylonian culture, this is where we will see the Babylonian tablets come into play. Tablets The tablets we have today are a great window into Babylonian culture, and it is because of the tablets that we can now study the culture so well. The tablets were created by a cuneiform script, which is a writing system that is still used today. The tablets were written in Akkadian, which was the language of the Babylonians.

Both are associated with Australia, but also with the wider Western world. Java has been described as the “quintessential global language”,[1] and the kangaroo is often used in the Western world to symbolise the Western world.[2] The Java programming language Java was created in 1994 by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems, and was designed to be “simple, object-oriented, network-aware, multithreaded, and interpreted by a virtual machine”.[3] The Java language was created for the purpose of developing software that could run on any computer, and has become the most popular programming language in the world.[4] Java has been described as “the quintessential global language”,[1] and is the language used in the majority of websites around the world.[5] Java has become so popular that it is often used as a synonym for “computer programming”,[6] and it is often argued that Java is the world’s most popular language.[7] This popularity has been attributed to its “write once, run anywhere” philosophy, which enables software to be easily shared between computers, and to the fact that it is “easy to learn, flexible, and can be used to create a wide range of applications”.[8] Java is a very important part of the software industry, and has been described as “the most significant programming language in the history of computing”.[9] Java is often considered to be the “lingua franca of the Internet”,[10] and is the most popular programming language used on the Internet.[11] Well... now we know!

Aaaaaaahhhh.... OK. The phrase was first published in 1947 in Whitehead's posthumous book Process and Reality. It is found in the following passage: We are here concerned with an idea which is not itself a monad, but which, like the monads, is in a sense a simple thing. We shall call it the "idea of simplicity", and we shall now try to explain it like a monad. The idea of simplicity is not a monad, because it is not a physical thing. It is not a simple thing, because it is not simple to be simple. The idea of simplicity is not a physical thing, because it is a concept, and concepts are not physical things. The idea of simplicity is not a simple thing, because it is not simple to OK, I have no idea if Whitehead's book actually contains the line: It is not a simple thing, because it is not simple to be simple But if it doesn't, it probably should. I think that is my new catch-phrase from now on!

- fareesh 4y agoMonads in Haskell: Monads in Haskell are a simple, but powerful, abstraction mechanism. The purpose of a monad is to provide a way to abstract away some of the details of the underlying computation. Monads are a part of the functional programming paradigm, which is based on functions and values, rather than on objects and messages. Monads are a general mechanism for defining new control structures. The basic idea is that the programmer can define a type that encapsulates a computation together with a set of operations that can be used to sequence, condition and iterate those computations. In Haskell, monads are used for structuring effectful computations. A pure computation is one that has no side effects, that is, the result of a pure computation is the same regardless of the context in which it is executed. A side effect is an action that can happen during the computation, and can affect the result. For example, a side effect might be an I/O operation, such as reading or writing https://galactica.org/?prompt=Monads+in+Haskell https://galactica.org/?prompt=Monads+in+Haskell

- otabdeveloper4 4y agoSpeed of sound in vacuum The speed of sound in vacuum is the speed of sound in a perfect vacuum. In a perfect vacuum, there are no molecules to support the propagation of sound, so sound cannot propagate through it. This speed is usually referred to as "the speed of sound" and is usually denoted by c, which is the standard notation for the speed of light. In fact, the speed of light is very close to the speed of sound in a perfect vacuum. The speed of sound in a perfect vacuum is the theoretical upper limit for the speed of sound in any substance.
- JPLeRouzic 4y ago> the speed of light is very close to the speed of sound in a perfect vacuum I am not knowledgeable in physics but this looked wrong to me until I reflected that in a near vacuum, the elasticity is very high and density nearer to zero. So per the equation of speed of sound, (square of ( elasticity / density ) ) is extremely high, so near the speed of light. Not so bad.

- happy_dog1 4y agoGalactica apparently thinks that there is evidence that vaccines may be linked to autism (!?!) If I enter the query: vaccines and autism I get: --Vaccines and autism Vaccines and autism is the hypothesis that vaccines are a significant cause of autism. The hypothesis is based on the epidemiological evidence of a temporal association between the two events, as well as on the biological plausibility of the hypothesis. The biological plausibility of the hypothesis is supported by the finding of an increased risk of febrile seizures following vaccination and the finding of a high rate of inflammatory and autoimmune disorders in autism spectrum disorders.(Zerbo et al., 2015)(Sweeten et al., 2003)(Ashwood et al., 2006) There are many scientific and anecdotal reports linking vaccines with autism. However, it is difficult to determine whether the temporal association between vaccines and autism is causal or coincidental. which is some fairly dangerous misinformation written in such a way as to sound plausible. What is the point of a tool that can generate plausible-sounding nonsense? Is there not already enough misinformation on the Internet?
- happy_dog1 4y agoOh and it gets better! Galactica suggests helpfully that maybe the preservatives in the vaccines cause autism! Vaccine ingredients Vaccines contain various ingredients. The ingredients in vaccines include antigens, preservatives, adjuvants, stabilizers, and traces of antibiotics.(Gerber et al., 2009) The preservatives, adjuvants, stabilizers, and traces of antibiotics have been proposed to be the main causes of autism.(Gerber et al., 2009) The preservatives and stabilizers are used to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi in vaccines. The preservatives and stabilizers that have been proposed to be linked to autism include mercury, aluminum, thimerosal, and formaldehyde.(Gerber et al., 2009) The adjuvants are used to boost the immune response to vaccines. The adjuvants that have been proposed to be linked to autism include aluminum and mercury.(Gerber et al., 2009)
