How long ago did you try?! Have an example?

I expected it to get this one wrong and it did; I expected that as Hollywood portrays this wrong and people don’t have an intuitive understanding of missile rocketry. Interceptor missiles only burn for a few seconds, get going very fast, then coast to their target. It is just flat wrong here.

I then fixed my grammar mistake and asked again, and poof, 100% opposite answer. I literally got the OPPOSITE ANSWER just because I fixed a grammar mistake. This fundamentally cannot be trusted for actual learning.

Anytime I ask it about things I’m knowledgeable about, it falls on it’s face. It only seems smart on topics I don’t know shit about (this red flag has spotlights on it!). Given this, I cannot trust it on anything lest I be led down false paths. Given how LLMs work, I don’t see this problem as fixable.

I have found them useful for search term generation. (Using a topic I know things about) If I need a more powerful drill for screwing lag bolts into hardwood and I’m not finding what I need, asking it and and getting back the keyword ‘impact driver’ is helpful, as it lets me go search for what that is and if it is the solution to my need for a more powerful drill. Note: I do not let it teach me about impact drivers (as it falls on it’s face all the fucking time), only use it to get the keyword to then use to search the internet.

To circle back to your question, I’m not scared with how fast they are advancing. I’m scared by how many people think they are good at everything and put them in places they don’t belong.

In pre-history, it was believed to be mostly social obligation, gifts, and verbal debts. Such systems work when the groups are very, very small and communities can enforce debts and obligations through social pressure. As the other poster said more succinctly: social credit.

After the domestication of animals, animals and plant products were used as money.

The phones may enhance their distraction

Yes, that is why phones are increasingly banned during school. A whole host of distractions are banned during school.

Engage with programs that make education more interesting, and help students find better ways to learn.

We can (and should) do both!

Come now. You and I both know kids in a geometry lecture aren’t using their phones to look up geometry proofs.

If someone is bitching this hard about not having their phone (while they should be paying attention in school, I might add!), then they are on the phone too damn much and need it taken away.

someone should work on an open-source snap alternative.

Is that not Flatpaks? They are damn good.

The US has been a massive oil producer ever since the oil crisis in the 70s when we said ‘never again’. Ever since then, OPEC has been declining in strength. This, even if it is a one-off, is a huge blow to their power, and puts them significantly closer to functionally irrelevant.

The entire point of the cartel is to coordinate supply restrictions to jack up the price of oil. But with the US, EU, Canada, and now UAE able to take advantage of their slowdown and just pump pump pumping, OPEC is the least relavent it has ever been. Guyana coming increasingly online in the next years and Venezuela coming back online will both be large blows to the cartel as well.

Tuapse is one of Russia’s largest oil refineries and export terminals. Ukriane has hit it several times over the last two weeks; basically whenever Russia manages to put the fires out, Ukraine hits another previously-unmolested part of the terminal. Tuapse has been burning hard enough there are videos of oil raining down on everything in the area.

‘Magyar’s sanctions’ is a mashup of Magyar’s Birds, a Ukranian group that is well-known for their drone warfare, and kinetic sanctions, ie blowing shit up so they can’t sell it.

Just bought a Framework 16 this past week after having a Framework 13 for awhile. Real happy with both. :)

Hey, at least your auto-repair card is getting used for auto-repair!

Mine is a shooting range membership card I haven’t been a member of for a few years now. (Just throwing this out now, thank you for the reminder!)

MS Office works in a browser, and LibreOffice opens Word/Powerpoint files just fine. Been using LibreOffice for years while my coworkers send me files made with MS Office. It’s simply not a blocker.

Love to see that even with the new pro model, you can upgrade your existing Framework 13 mainboard/other components and get the new features. Gotta hand it to Framework: A standardized hardware design works great for laptops.

To not make your commercial area look dumpy (there is a parking lot and what appears to be a multi-level parking garage right behind the panels). The owner of this commercial area isn’t going to spend 6-digits on panels just to allow their 7-digit commercial area to look dumpy.

There is a parking lot and what appears to be multi-level parking garage right behind the panels. Ain’t nobody putting goats here. The options are: pay to weed trim around thousands of supports on a regular basis or pay to gravel once.

This keeps them from having to run a weed trimmer around thousands of supports. Weed trimmers are the most annoying and time consuming part of lawn care.

God damn is that alot of fire.
