Has that theory been tested? I would say though that being able to do things massively more quickly is effectively a superpower humans don't have, given we have finite time to ever meaningfully accomplish any task.

Likewise, if there weren't also integration tests that ran against a DB engine more similar to that used in production. But no unit test environment is ever going to emulate everything in production, nor should it.

Perhaps, but there seems little reason to suppose had Trump/Pence still been in office the decision would have been any different. Just seems you're reading more into the story than is justified.

It explicitly said in the wikipedia article "The following weekend, Trump ordered flags to be flown at half-staff at all federal buildings, grounds, and vessels for three days". Biden didn't assume office until the 20th.

It needn't be real time though, and arguably better if it weren't. But I'd expect to see the training data updated at least daily at some time in the future.

What political gain did Pence and Trump get from honouring his death with such a ceremony though? Not saying there was none, but it's not an obviously strong motive. Seems more like a simple case of someone getting the wrong story and

That there's been massive failures in government policy over the decades isn't really debatable, but I doubt the impact of homelessness and crime is that big a factor on prompting families to move to suburbs in most cities (well,

Having basic services within a 10-15 minute walk is one thing (and in general shouldn't be hard to achieve with sensible zoning etc.) but it's the trips many of us regularly to get to work, to visit friends/family or access l

Either way, I don't know that I see it an example of ChatGPT "replacing" a search-engine: search engines never really claimed to be able to provide precise answers to detailed technical queries, they just do the best they can

Curious, the second result for me was aboutmechanics.com, which said it was a coil clamp. But I agree Google seems to be interpreting the question as "what's a spring clamp".

Why wouldn't a Catholic consider anything written about their religion by the Pope to be more important/reputable than by some random stranger who happens to have a cult following? The GP's point was purely that currently the

Well if nothing else, blocking such posts has the real possibility of making the posters even more certain they've uncovered some conspiracy, and driving them to less well-monitored corners of the interwebs, where misinformation breeds
