Try asking it to combine some simple formulas involving unit conversions. It does not do math. You can ask it questions that let it complete patterns more easily.

Why does this apply for math but not for being a doctor ?? It can do basic math, but you say that of course it can't do math- math isn't language. The fact that it can do some basic diagnosis does not mean it's good at d

You're completely wrong- look at the wikipedia page for differential diagnosis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_diagnosis Literally the majority of the page is basic arithmetic, mostly Bayes. Diagnosis

The Delta Heavy is $12,340 per kg to LEO. Saturn V was ~$8,800 in current costs. Falcon Heavy is $1,411 per kg when reused. For a $10 million launch, Starship would cost $67 per kg. Musk has said costs could come down to 1-2 million, alt

I wrote this 5 years ago, but it's still relevant: The Falcon 9 is $62 million, or $2,719 per kg to LEO. The Falcon Heavy is $2,351 per kg when expendable or $1,411 when reused. The BFR is supposed to have 2.5x the payload for 8% of t

Unquestionably correct, at least in the US. In the US, .855 lbs of CO2 are produced per kWh (in 2021). If that moves the car 5 miles (same as a Model 3), the car gets 26.3 miles per 4.5 lbs CO2. Since the car absorbs 4.5 lbs per 20k miles,

Vitamin D is found in fish, and milk usually has added vitamin D (so you can use the calcium). If you eat 20 eggs you can get 100% of your daily value of vitamin D from that, but I don't recommend it. Besides dietary sources you need

> unfair to compare the 20-40 range vs the 60-80 range. No, you want the skew. The goal is to capture the people who own 90% of stock, so you do want wealth regardless of age. It would be more accurate to have some measure of stock owne

Chemotherapy too, since it usually causes DNA damage (cancers replicate quickly, so DNA damage affects them more). Very aggressive treatment has double-digit odds of giving you a new, additional cancer.

I don't think wireless EV charging will really take off- it's always going to be MUCH slower because of the I^2 losses. It's always going to be much more expensive and heavier than a plug. Solutions like battery swaps[1] or
