I usually say what unit of measurement we’re counting in: days, weeks or months. For more detail, more specs are needed.

Government should set up a site where companies using loot boxes have to open a tax box to know what tax they’ll pay that month, to keep things exiting, with the option to buy more tax boxes for a few million per box.

Another 1-in-a-100 year weather event hits. They’re getting quite common for once per century disasters.

Easier said than done. They basically need infrastructure to handle months (average month before 2000) of rain falling in a few days over several countries. Huge storm canals, dams and water basins that can divert and hold up to half a year of rain and that’s assuming climate change doesn’t make it even much worse in a decade.

Understaffing and long waiting lists are the main reasons behind patients’ frustration with health workers

Italy’s legislation has kept wages low, leading to overworked and burned out staff at hospitals

many health workers to leave Italy in search of better opportunities abroad

Add some violence and the death spiral of the health care system accelerates.

Sounds exactly like Boris Johnson, prime minister in the UK and notorious for making up stories. He basically steered the UK economy in a dive and parachuted out so another imbecile was at the wheel when all the warnings began to blare. Stories don’t make for good policies.

It’ was a status thing. Those with manual labor jobs usually can’t have long nails, so long nails means they’re above manual labor. So the rich in the past did that, and now everybody wants to do that so and it becomes a beauty thing.

Non automated tasks remain in the inbox for a week, so spending 2 days automating them means they’re finished earlier.

I’lp make it a point to discuss other car brands when in a Ford from now on

Peace with Putin in practice means removing his means of attacking

Damn…

Nor is it the first battery powered train in the world or even first in Germany where this giga-train operates.

Did you know that one single Judge has been given the power the censor the Internet? Do you know that no justification needs to be released to the public about WHY a person, account, or post is being censored, removed, or banned?

Replace judge with CEO and ask the question again.

Optical computing won’t change anything. The compiler takes care of it.

Even quantum computing basically works just like a GPU. You give it an algorithm and data to retrieve the result a bit later. Someone will make a quantum equivalent of CUDA before commercialization.

it could make our current computing technology exponentially more efficient, thus reducing the global power consumption of our data-driven society.

That’s a bold lie. Jevons paradox will apply and the first thing that will happen is building more AI data centers and crypto mining.

It’s going to kill poor folks. Rich people will have the better filter installations to keep micro plastics out.

If their nuclear bombers went airborne the second Ukraine troops crossed their borders people would’ve taken them seriously. It would’ve shown how serious they were. But here we are, weeks after the invasion onto Russian soil, and their strong man argument is changing a few words on paper. It’s not very impressive or convincing.

And AFD won’t “send migrants back” because that would remove their favorite Boogeyman. Expect don’t symbolic tinkering and not that much more, otherwise they have to start all over again with another minority to blame. It won’t improve these people’s economic situation. EU exit and austerity is back on the menu with AFD.

they have to provide an answer

Indeed. That’s the G in chatGPT. It stands for generative. It looks at all the previous words and “predicts” the most likely next word. You could see this very clearly with chatGPT-2. It just generated good looking nonsense based on a few words.

Then you have the P in chatGPT, pre-trained. If it happens to have received training data on what you’re asking, that data is shown. It it’s not trained on that data, it just uses what is more likely to appear and generates something that looks good enough for the prompt. It appears to hallucinate, lie, make stuff up.

It’s just how the thing works. There is serious research to fix this and a recent paper claimed to have a solution so the LLM knows it doesn’t know.
