I think this is expected if you consider how ChatGPT works. It is a language model, so its job is to generate plausible-looking text. It does not use any external reference material during inference so it has to encode all knowledge it uses

YouTube made $6B revenue in Q1. [1] While they don’t release profit numbers, it would be pretty surprising if they were negative. Did you mean to write DeepMind instead? If so, I don’t disagree. [1] https://www.cnbc.com/2021

Actually if anyone here follows current go bot development, I would like to know if they currently have some specific ladder features to address this weakness?

Although there seems to be enough support by MPs for basic income so that it realistically could be trialled, I wouldn't be holding my breath. The government has too many other things on its plate. Finland is suffering from a period of

Indeed. Refactoring means restructuring code in a way that doesn't change its external behavior. If we define bug as incorrect external behavior of code, then refactoring excludes bug fixes. Refactoring doesn't necessarily even me

Regarding use of word disruptive : one of the authors of the article is Clayton Christensen who coined the term "disruptive technology" in 1995. So he uses the term in that sense. According to his theory, there are two types of innovation:

Nokia was close to launching N9? Where does that information come from? From what we have seen of MeeGo so far is that it is still very far from ready. In addition, one of Nokia's big problems is its inability to produce good modern softwar
