Not all language tasks, even, are going to be best handled by these models.

That was a beautiful misunderstanding, right out of 1960s scifi.

People are justifiably excited about these language tools, but we're getting tired of this answer because it's not a good answer: "Use GPT-4! Some of the answers aren't that great, but it's at least a starting point

That is a good way to get some ancient wisdom, and sometimes some incidental history, but it's surprising how little it will inform you about what those religions teach in contemporary practice. I don't think I could read the Bibl

How do you know you spot the hallucinations, and that you're not just catching the less-good ones while accepting convincing half-truths? It may be that your subject is just that clear-cut, and you've been careful — but what I wo

So it uses it/she pronouns? Usually the object pronoun is second; does that mean that it wants people to call she "it" unless they're doing something to she? That's off the chain, and sounds like meta-trolling.

That sounds less like "bad news" and more like "other good news".

It may be saying that, but, historically, Adobe says a lot of things. I cannot imagine that Dolby would risk actually taking their users to court on this basis.

I have often considered that the word should be exfenestration . The frequency with which I've considered this probably says a lot about me.

"Why?" is a very properly hackerly question.

The same story was told about a chapel that was part of the Little Norway museum in Wisconsin. I think these stories might be completely made up in response to the ship-like style of the roof.

This is much less an obstacle to enjoying a hobby than it is to enjoying a community associated with the hobby. I tend to be a loner in my hobbies, and can happily pursue them any way I please.

Things like this seem so arbitrarily hostile to intelligent people who just want to find what they're looking for in an efficient way. Why does this keep happening? Who benefits from these developments?

Yes, it's a part of the plan, but the point still stands: it dilutes what could have been a focused, interesting collection.

I do compose and make arrangements — and am firmly a mediocrity. In fact, lots of the great composers were violists: Bach, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Britten, Dvorak, and others. Most of them also played a keyboard instrument, which is a usef

In music, at least, I've reluctantly concluded that time is an almost infallible judge. I'm a violist, and we have very little repertoire, so we're always excited when we discover a viola piece among the works of a forgotten

I don't agree with that at all. For example, if I refer to violinists like [Oscar Shumsky] and [Yehudi Menuhin], and I create links from their names to relevant articles about them, I don't think you'd have any trouble figur

There's a lot to disagree with there, and I do. I'm very frequently interested in what makes a person or event important to others in the past, and I'm not able to sustain your confidence that 2023 has it all figured out, whe

His Wikipedia article [0] is not as skeptical of his abilities and qualifications as I would have expected. Neither is that of the Vidocq Society [1]. Articles on controversial living people are hard to manage, but the Wikipedia articles
