ChatGPT can't reason about the validity of its responses. It can say the most absolute nonsense, get asked "are you confident in the validity of that response?" and it will without fail say "yes I am 100% confident"

Apple devices are in fact fairly difficult to fingerprint. In my experiments [1] all instances of the same hardware model (on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS) give the same fingerprint, so the best a tracker can get is "uses iPhone 14". Be

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. The claim “firefighters wouldn’t come if someone’s life was in danger from a fire” is extraordinary. The evidence “firefighters didn’t come when no one’s life was in danger from a fire” i

So the fire department was contacted, did not hear of any lives at risk, and did not show up. What an entirely reasonable response to getting a service request from someone who has not established a SLA with your company. Do you personally

Changing the prior poll made sense. The options were “unban immediately”, “unban in a day”, “unban in a week”, “unban in some longer a lot of time”. The issue with this is obvious: there’s only one “you fucked up” option and the “I agree bu

Local college radio and other small stations tend to be great. Sure the music won't be custom tailored by either "what past-you liked" or neural networks expressly designed to increase Sweden's internal revenue, but that

I don’t think many people are scrapping their cars for the safety of pedestrians. Also, personal accountability. If you’re going too fast/distracted to react in an area with the potential for pedestrian interference, that’s a you probl

Way more. Land Cruisers can last 40+ easily. Do a craigslist search and you’ll find them in fully working condition. I don’t think the so-called “safety features” developed in the next 20 years are as valuable as the others predict. We’re a

I’m currently residing in Mexico after years of HS and Rosetta refresher, my main critique: Rosetta didn’t teach big numbers well enough. At 20 pesos to the dollar, learning 100-1000+ is pretty much mandatory but I didn’t see it, especially

This decision turned me off from Deno in a big way. It's as if they actively refused to look out to the community to see if the problems were solvable before throwing in the towel. It's quite possible to have instant incremental
