It sounds like at least some units has battery problems? Based on the description it sounds like water found its way into the battery compartment and short circuited something. A true product design nightmare. That being said: I just don&#x

And that is why i always carry my groceries with an Antonov An-225 Mriya. Is it really needed? No, but i refuse to compromise on what is(was/will be) the best.

I don’t know what you are on about. Can the robot exhibit signs of the emotions described? If it can then the sentence is not a lie. If it can’t then it is a lie. Are you saying that it won’t do what the sentence says? The sentence is not s

Sure, prompting can be very free form. In that it is somewhat like managing a human. But then there are ways it is very much different. Claude never quit on me because we didn’t let it add its new pet programing language to a large estabili

It makes every sense. andsoitis claimed that the process is optimised for "greater good". My observation is that it is not. It is optimised for profit. That's it. If there were some change they could enact which improves the

It is not a “should”. At least not in the “we wish it were so” sense. It is more that there are multiple reasons why this idea (burning an LLM into silicone and deploying it into a device in people’s pockets) requires huge piles of cash and

Mayhaps. But Spanish prisoner letters were known much before that. Which is basically the same advance fee scam but with a different cover story. Here is a story which describes one such letter from 1913: https://web.archive.org&

I wouldn't think that should be a problem here if there is any sanity how the system is implemented. With a normal (short stay, long stay) parking lot it is expected that cars leave all the time. A thief breaking into your car and driv

At least yours can be in theory solved. (Given infinite amount of compute, great luck, or a very serious breakthrough in attacking the hash function.) Even harder would be an empty prompt, and the only accepted response would be a megabyte
