I haven't watched TV in a few years, but when I did, I used a digital broadcast converter box and an antenna to watch OTA channels on (I think) a 720p "HD" LCD.

Well, humans don't know how to determine if a proposition is correct. So it's no surprise we didn't teach AIs yet! Edit: I don't understand why experts say it failed when they "asked it to reason". It doesn&#

Ok, that's straightforward, I just don't care for the idea that AI can do it or even help. You might synthesize new knowledge. When ChatGPT produces new output, it's not synthesizing new knowledge. It can't even output

I meant - how do you know or why did you say ChatGPT taught you? It doesn't know what works.

Can you unpack "synthetic knowledge", cause I don't know what that really means.

That's not a real prompt. A real prompt would look more like this: At the top left of a 4k picture, place a dot with the RGB value of (0.5, 0.8, 0.2), where color components are expressed on a scale of 0-1 inclusive. Then,

A LLM is a generator of misinformation that is maximally difficult to distinguish from real information. How do you use this as a lawyer? I mean, as a stereotypical evil lawyer in a world of naïve people who don't learn from experience

Looks like USB support for syncing was introduced in 2003, and for charging in 2004. Mine was a 4th generation monochrome - in other words, 2004ish. Had to have been USB. I don't think there were any Firewire Macs before 1999, and I do

It was called Planet X. And if you wanted to continue calling it that, your position on Pluto could still be flexible, because you could say "X" means unknown, not 10.

A significant part of the "incomprehensible mess" seems to be that errors from the kernel have no context. If you ask in a forum, people just kind of shrug. It's not clear on which side the bug really is in such a situation.

FreeCAD, for me, has been extremely frustrating, but it has convinced me, coming from OpenSCAD and not a regular CAD background, that a constraint solver and features like fillets or the curves workbench are really things I was missing and

The way it's difficult to reorder things in a valid way is at a higher level than what I meant. What I mean is when you start getting errors that say things are invalid and every time you try to correct it flips to another window/
