Obnoxious? Yes. Opposite of what I claim? No. "Samsung Electronics informed its executives and employees that data entered into ChatGPT is transmitted and stored on external servers, making it impossible for the company to retrieve it

Yes, they used it. Did you read any further? "These actions clearly put confidential information at risk, prompting Samsung to warn its employees about the dangers of using ChatGPT. Samsung Electronics informed its executives and emplo

"everyone"? What are you talking about? Have you ever worked in any sector that has security policies? Even if you haven't, perhaps spend 2 minutes using a search engine? Here is a first page result for you: https:/&#x2

They don't have to match the market leader, they just have to be "good enough". There are oodles of use-cases where sending your data to an outside provider is a complete no-go. In these cases OpenAI/Google/whoever-

No. They are not like us. Fundamentally not like us. If you ask them to reason, then their text-prediction works differently, because it now predicts text containing reasons. They do not actually reason. I know it is hard to believe, becaus

I am not objecting to the finding or the show, I am objecting to the casual use of "prove" where something has merely been plausibly suggested.

I just love the "plus the two missing legs". Made me actually lol.

Perhaps I am old-fashioned, but "proved" is a strong word for a two-day experiment of a single waitress with no control of outside variables.

Tipping is great, if it is optional. I feel in many parts of the US it is now expected, if not demanded. This is bullshit. If your business model doesn't work without tips, you need to raise the base prices. And in pubs and bars and su

...then in a few years, people won't even notice that they're simply scanning a code on their devices and adding them to whatever home control system they wish. The sentence you (partially) quote starts with "if" and end

The sub-headline says everything you need to know: "Gadget makers, unsurprisingly, are hesitant to compete purely on device quality."

One of the early customers was the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, so, wild guess, they probably used it for medium-range weather forecasts.

Elena Buckley can write; this was a well written text. But I didn't find anything much interesting in the writing. Sad. I think this will be the only bit I remember: [Fifteen-year-old] Landon thought for a second and nodded. “I do thin

If they aren't qualified, then you have to train them. If they don't have your values, you have to integrate them. That is complicated, takes a lot of effort and costs a lot of money. Everyone who thinks anything about the problem

a higher birth rate (aka make having children more attractive) is the only long term solution. well, it normally would be, in our situation the climate likely will interfere with any long term plans.

by simbolit 3y ago
the "significant societal changes" are immigration. as you can't change the birth rate overnight, and even if you could, it would take ~20years for the kids to begin earning, there needs to be a short-term solution. and that

I really don't know, but I _suspect_ it will accept 2TB cards. I had the same with a _much_ older device, which accepted 2gb, even tho it said otherwise.

I don't think I will convince you, but that is training as well. Yes, in the beginning, it feels terrible, because you hit the glass too hard, but after some time you adjust your tapping and hit the screen with the minimal force necess

Everything sucks without training. I am faster on a touchscreen than most people are on a keyboard. I have seen teens who are ~50% faster than me. It's just training.
