That does not seem to be true. Either the next tokens can include "this question can't be answered", "I don't know" and the likes, in which case there is no omniscience. Or the next tokens must contain answers

That in turn sounds a lot like the latin locative case [1], which was a case next to dative, accusative etc. to indicate place. [1] https://classics.osu.edu/Undergraduate-Studies/Latin-Program...

I already made one-time payments (aka "lifetime") for two softwares/services. Was great until the providers went out of business. Before that they treated me not so well in support. But, what should I do, end the contract? No

Microsoft offers Python for Excel for quite some time now [1]. Seems like a natural fit, when you are used to working in spreadsheets and want to add the low code machine learning capabilities that Python offers. [1] https://www.

I use random forests as a first model for basically everything classification or regression. This looks incredibly useful for understanding samples of individual trees, for which I use the nice but limited inbuilt tree object in sklearn. Th

For now it looks like death can't be "solved" at all. You may be able to prolong individual human life, even by a lot. But how to solve entropy and the end of an empty, cold universe? There is even speculation that life is f

The background of my question is, that China is around for a long time, sometimes technically advanced, sometimes not. It is still around today. It does not seem to fit into your scheme.
