As opposed to inaccessible parking it is very clear: you can reach it. The fact that a handicapped person cannot reach it seems irrelevant. Totally bonkers.

Try (I have done so) to ask it about nonsense good-looking keywords in maths. Like “what is an einstenian dual in a Hilbert space” (or something of the sort). It is totally incapable of saying “I do not know” in just 4 words. At least till

I do not want the government or the bank to know that I am buying a motorbike, a car, a washing machine or ten dozen frying pans. Just that. If the bank knows, the government does.

Work is not production or service by itself. This is something we all tend to forget. A bonsai is as much work as shining shoes.

It is not so easy as it might be… The pdf has probably been optimized to place each group of glyphs at a specific position, so that changing the font would break most of the composition. See this: https://superuser.com/quest

You cannot trust nature any more to write non-sensationalist titles. Unbelievable but true.

All the text in the post reads like an easy exercise in linguistics. I would not be surprised if there are hundreds of these in the training texts.

Sorry, I did not submit it. Was just pointing him to the (important) difference.

The exclamation mark after that (!) is very relevant, @dang. Thanks.

All of us tend to forget that each year there is a whole cohort of people getting a new phone and using fb, instagram, twitter, whatever for the first time.

When you think about the speed of light, you think you understand it. Then you realize what it truly means and go “what?”. The same happens with the huge volume of text this model has been trained off. We cannot even begin to grasp its size

Ordinary people tend to not do very well with the Stokes formula. Much less with infinite sums (which is essentially what Feynman. diagrams are for). Lots of geniuses are unaware of the difference between their intelligence and other people

My iPhone 7 is 4 and 1/2 years old. Battery needs swapping every 3 (?) years but otherwise perfectly usable.
