It appears to me that it is a big problem of the training set containing mostly questions that can be (and are) answered. Sure, on StackOverflow you will have questions where the response is: please refine your question. But even then, did

My impression was that it's mostly about particle pressure and 100% O_2 at 0.2 atmospheres would also be possible. ISS keeps with the normal atmospheric pressure and 80% nitrogen but from what one reads on the internet, that is more fo

Are there any analyses how GPT fares with adapting to regional dialects, or i.e british vs. american spellings? I am asking because the article uses computadora (instead of ordenador) as example for an adapted (only latin) spanish word. (It

I fully disagree. There are so many examples of animals that once de-facto disappeared (like huge sea-lion colonies, same for turtles, reintroduced american and/or european bison, black footed ferret, arabian oryx, hermit ibis, wolves,

As I understand it, that rule exists to stop people from moving 'on paper' to collect social security in a rich country while they keep living in a lower cost of living area. Which is nevertheless seems to be quite an issue in som

No, you do not understand. What I am saying is that we understand very well what is happening. 'The science is there'. What does not exist is the policy (to prevent it) and we only react when absolutely necessary. Like with povert

How do you determine that? As far as I have heard from people working in fertilization clinics, they can help pretty much all couples that have problems with conceiving due to male fertility issues. You need to go there in the first place,

I would probably prefer if my grandparents (~80) watched TV for 6h a day. Instead, they spend a similar amount of time on their smartphones, reading conspiracy blogs. And recently started to prepare for the imminent doom. Only thing worse w

I am optimistic as well but let's not forget the asphalt (major pollutant during construction and repair), breaking and tire degradation that each contribute to this.

Is gold still the inflation hedge? One the one hand yes, but if i.e SpaceX starship is a total success, asteroid mining could be the black swan for that. Though I may be totally wrong (and off by orders of magnitude) about that.

I have no idea (and not living here long enough). But if I had to guess, it could be that cheap/free SMS texting came before cheap/free mobile internet and thus it was already established.

To give a counter example, here in Sweden, SMS&MMS are used quite a lot. Including bidding for housing. And it's not due to a lack of alternatives.

I agree with the parent comment and I also agree with you. The reason is that I believe that the states rule mostly applies to permanent things (i.e curtains or mugs) while you are commenting about a consumable. Everyone likes when you brin

Your thinking ignores that there are many other uses for hydrogen. There is this chart [1] that clearly states where we should go for clean hydrogen production first and where it may not be worthwhile. And what I am noticing, that is more o

Well, technically, Europe also has a lot of gas. We just didn't want fracking. But it would be possible to be, at least, a lot less dependent.

While the opt-in crypto program may not be sketchy per se, all ads that I have ever seen on it where in some way or the other get-rich-quick schemes. And that is imo what most of the criticism is about.

They run the computer carbon neutral and then use the excess heat to replace carbon derived heat. Hence, there is less carbon emission while the computer is running. Their definition is not broken, just based on comparison to the initial st

I think, patent is talking about stevia the plant, whose leaves are quite sweet with a licorice taste when eaten raw or dried. When powdered, you can use those to sweeten i.e tea. You are talking about steviol glycosides that can be extract
