As I wrote: there is no explanation. After 90 years, and thousands of papers (Google scholar counts nearly 90.000), still no idea what causes it. Why go on then? It's obvious that this path isn't going to lead to the solution.

If only. I worked in cog/neuro sci, and the career builders there produce small variations on the original. Variations on the Stroop task, which dates back to 1935(!), are still being published, despite the fact that there is no explan

For another kind of task, a colleague had written a very verbose prompt. Since I had to integrate it, I added some CRUD ops for prompts. For a test, I made a very short one, something like "analyze this as a <profession>". T

Where does the rating come from? Do you understand what all those words mean? It looks like you copied someone's rather subjective opinion. Because e.g. "bollo" and "caliente" aren't inherently profane in Spani

Are you sure it rings the large bells? A carrillon usually has (much) smaller bells. The 50 bells of the carillon in the cathedral here weigh around 25.000kg in total, and are played by hammers, not by traditional "ringing" (which

Firefox offers multiple ways to do that: you can use containers or launch different profiles from about:profiles. The latter has no way of telling the windows apart, unfortunately. This tool seems quite handy, though.

And learning does do that. It is an economic compromise, though. Most of us have average (or worse) teachers. I have the feeling that that's what your arguing against, not learning per se. > LLMs are here to call that bluff Students
