If you use the Q&A preset in the playground it will give Unknown if it doesn't know. You can also set Show Probabilities to Least Likely and see which parts of the result are guesses. I also changed the Temperature from 0 to 0.5, a

I believe he means that enough people have done this (and logged results) before it stopped learning, to make it well versed in the workings of Linux. Same goes for its broad knowledge of insults.

To be fair, it's not that hard to convince humans to believe ridiculous things too. There are plenty of examples out there.

That's an odd take on US history-- it certainly wasn't all roses before the 70s, what with political sides getting people blacklisted, killed, or even starting a civil war.

I would be surprised if it isn't already happening with ChatGPT, since it seems that all that's required is a straightforward relay script in Python to hook it up to the internet. Or even simply for it just to ask the user to goog

That would please me-- in Gimp I have to think carefully about every command. It seems like every choice for a default operation is the non-intuitive one.

You had to follow a careful set of rules when wiring it up, but it worked-- for slow stuff. Anything faster than a few megahertz and the lack of proper transmission line traces will round off your edges, or give serious crosstalk if you dri

Yep, would all be fine if they could just return the nitrogen in its original form. It's mainly the ammonia (fertilizer runoff from fields and animal waste) that's a problem for nearby nature preserves and bodies of water, accordi

This is also a problem with seemingly stationary UIs, where a button is only shown when the pointer gets close to it. Especially when that button is within a clickable area, such as a thumbnail image. The ideal solution to all of these woul

Seems you could use a second pole (and a helper) in place of the hook, for 100% ladder-free. Of course this all will increase pole-related accidents...

And the table lists a time to crack it of 4 days. I assume that all of these will shortly be crackable in less than 1 second, as they'll be tried first.

You may know that that was made into a 1990 PBS Nova episode, “The KGB, the Computer, and Me”, starring Cliff Stoll himself.

An excellent summary. I've used this method on whole libraries and it works great. And it makes a good excuse for hanging on to old hardware (a Sony DCR-TRV17).

I found the trick to getting a good answer, but it's apparently quite hard on it: Question: What is 2 plus 2? (60 seconds later...) Answer: 2 Question: What is 2 plus 2? Show your math. (120 seconds later...) Answer: 2+2=4

Python with macro capability is no longer Python. Macros completely defeat the readability of Python, its defining characteristic. Fork it and call it something else, please.

It's a nice idea, but the black color is going to be a serious problem for car that you park in the sun. I suppose they could have cooling fans running in it while it's sitting, otherwise the interior and battery are going to bake

And these guesses are way off the mark. I think it was mostly that everyone smoked, which this article doesn't even mention-- very strange. I was actually heavier in the 80s, but then I never smoked. And more chemicals today?? When I w

If a calculator adds 2 and 2 and shows 4, is that disgustingly anthropomorphizing the word "add"? If we need a separate word for every informational process, it's going to get awfully messy. When an idea "pops" into

The vast majority of paintings weren't created by a human either, but by a paintbrush. We should really ban those too. Just think of all the poor finger-painters who've been put out of a job!

I wouldn't dismiss it so fast. I've seen SD generate some quite creative images, and original as I've been able to determine by searching the training dataset. One example was asking for a picture of someone riding a Vespa, a

The difference is that JPEG does store the real image, at least close enough to within the given tolerance (determined by the compression factor). That image is as real as say an image on film (also not exact, nor in "original"

Just happened to me this morning. An automatic update of iOS for some reason switched off AdGuard-- I'd forgotten just how bad the ads are. Anyway, easily fixed by switching the parts back on.
