There’s a YouTuber (Technology Connections) who’s really into heat pumps, which is the tech responsible for refrigerators and air conditioners.

And she’s only getting half of the controls with no coordination between the two. She doesn’t know how strong of a stream you’re giving her and you can’t adjust it based on where she plans to point your dick.

I’ve never found Bing chat to match up with the free ChatGPT. It often just refuses to answer my question while ChatGPT will at least take a guess and give me something to work with.

I’ve noticed that it sometimes smells like epoxy glue. I wonder if we’re thinking of the same scent.

Exactly

It is wrong because the highlighted portion of the excerpt is supposed to directly answer the question. This one doesn’t.

If only learning about bugs made them less gross to accidentally squish under your feet.

So the characters are still words, right?

Most likely yes. All characters in Chinese are defined jointly by the way it’s written, the pronunciation, and meaning. You can’t invent new characters like you would a new English word and have something that can be read out loud because there’s no system for deriving pronunciation from the written character itself.

I say most likely because there are still some characters that are phonetic in that their meaning is just the sound, but these don’t cover the whole spectrum of possible sounds in the language as far as I know. They also wouldn’t look as nice in tattoo form since they all use the same radical.

They do not have sales data, so they use two different proxies: number of reviews, and number of active players.

I don’t see mention of how they get the number of active players. I’m assuming it’s through stats in Steam or something similar. If that’s the case, then their assumption of this number being biased towards being larger than the true number would be wrong. If you choose to both pirate and buy the game, chances are good that you’ll be playing the pirated version, and therefore would not get counted towards active players.

Much faster to skim the contents of an article than a video.

Well, if that’s how it worked before, they must’ve changed it. I installed it last night without paying and it never blocked me.

we can only do that in our fiction

At present, yes. The hypothetical is in the future, possibly in one where we’ve developed interstellar travel and we can be the ones visiting the alien planet.

since they are by definition far beyond our technology

How so? Aliens aren’t going to suddenly come into existence and have super-human technology in that same instant.

Are you talking about DeArrow? The website gives you the option to pay or just download without paying.

In the context of the American general public, a healthy burger would require a very different ratio of meat to bun to veggies, at which point most people probably wouldn’t call it a burger anymore.

there are traits exhibited by conscious entities which we don’t observe in those which lack consciousness.

Implying we have a way of determining whether an entity is conscious or not. That’s the entire point of contention here.

Could be. Classification is a type of problem. LLM is a type of model. You can use LLMs to solve classification problems. There’s a good chance that’s what’s happening here.

development of this model over the years required X TWh of power

This part is kind of hard to measure. When do you start counting? From the first work that informed the research direction eventually leading to this model? From the point where the concept of this final model first came about? Do you split the energy usage between multiple models that came from the same work?

Traffic dynamics are really interesting. Even after you clear the obstruction, the traffic jam remains and becomes a “ghost jam” that propagates backwards down the road until it eventually fizzles out.
