Yes, I'm inclined to agree, it is very flawed AGI, but AGI nevertheless. When you ask chatgpt4, "tell me the pH an electric conductivity of a 0.5% solution of sodium 2-ethylhexanoate" and then it writes a python program to ca

Have you ever lived next to a place with beavers? I don't recommended it. First, if you have a pond beavers will come over at night and dig holes the width of a basketball about a meter from the edge of the pond into the water (vertica

How does a technical gas supplier factor into the life of today's teenagers? I'm genuinely curious. Is our hypothetical 12yo person learning tig welding on a side?

Sadly, we're going in the other direction. For example yesterday the capital city of Poland (Warsaw) decided, despite a lot of protests, to restrict "old cars" from entering a number of central districts. "Old cars"

The fact many armies use this (including my own country's) is mind boggling. Didn't they request the technical details of the encryption and the source code and have it vetted properly before awarding the tender for these devices?

I really like the README for this code on github. I wish more papers code explained how to replicate the results.

What if you build your own kernel from kernel.org, but you use Debian tools to make dpkgs? (and you use old config)?

SSDs are not magic. For shredding to be impossible the drives would have to have hidden capacity (and a lot of it, more than 1%). People often say, write levelling makes overwriting useless, but what if you overwrite the entire disk? How wo

It's very good product like this exists from Sony themselves, but would it make it so much more expensive to add a second stick?

Interesting. Perhaps it(drying out/clogging) depends on environmental factors? How hot, how humid is it etc. I never had luck with it myself. My first ink printer was a lexmark 1000. This was the only printer I could afford at the time

>> What about the ink drying out if you don't use it for printing for a couple of months? If you really only print 2 times per year you don't need a printer. Not using a couple of months =/= printing 2 times per year. H

Sadly, all benefit systems that pay out on certain conditions are subject to fraud. For me as long as there is a human involved in the decision and the benefits recipient has the right to appeal or sue there is no problem in using ML models

I'd want to know a lot more about that antibiotic these bacteria produce. If there is no natural immunity it will be developed very shortly if doses produced are low (and how can they possibly control for the dose). Then on the other h

As an EU citizen I hate it (cookie popups). I think the stupid regulation achieved nothing and essentially "broke the Internet" by normalising popups that obscure content while anyone that tracks can do so using alternatives. Sadl

What about the ink drying out if you don't use it for printing for a couple of months? I thought no informed person would buy one of these, let alone be happy with their purchase. I bought a laser b/w printer a decade ago and I ne

Google has been working with great deal of effort for decades to stop people from using urls. From the integration of the search function in the address bar to the famous mangling of links returned by Google searches. It's why sites li

And that exactly is why we absolutely have to keep the veto power of member states in the EU. The only reason why they backed down is because few countries said "there is no chance in hell we're agreeing to this". If we were

This is a nice chart, but what we need with EVs is modularity of the batteries. Imagine you're buying a 100kWh battery equipped EV when it's 15 year's old and the battery has 20% of its capacity, but it still weights the same

Things like this make one think. Perhaps bullshitting on a cosmological scale is an extremely valuable skill for a modern CEO of a billion dollar plus tech company? Think about it. From the point of view of someone responsible for a huge co

Wow, that sounds pretty bad. The only time when I encountered something even remotely similar here was when my parents lived in a big apartment building and they wanted to remodel a 4 bedroom flat into a 5 bedroom flat. We did need to get a

This, also, at least when I did my build there was a huge variability of the cost for the same thing (talking about putting up walls etc, not finishing). Some companies would quote 10x the price of others with a straight face...

Haw can a government prevent you from starting a build and finishing it over time? I'm genuinely curious. Here in Poland it has been a very popular method of building a home. I myself used it and it took me 7 years from start to finish

Nice, but it is planned to be operational in next 10 years. While we(NATO) need a useful deterrent in place in Europe in next ~6 years tops. If people of EU truly believe people have rights not to be enslaved, killed, have a right to govern

I would be very surprised if (not at all)OpenAI didn't. I've noticed it with both gpt 3.5 and Gpt4 that if you ask it a difficult question the latency increases a lot, especially at the beginning of the answer. I wouldn't ve
