What about when it just flat out lies to you, how do you sort the right info from the wrong?

> recipes when cooking

I used it for a recipe, gave it a brilliant and detailed prompt, it told me to put 10x a particular spice and it ruined the dish.

> seek medical advice and results interpretation for my family

good luck

> repair electrical equipment

what can go wrong, really


Its not perfect, just like talking to humans, online information, the news, or even books. It makes mistakes all the time, so you have to think and judge, just like the rest of life, but I find it is a tremendous resource.

Recipies are one of the strongest areas given the low complexity and obvious training data. Im curious what it messed up on with.


Why do you use hacker news when anyone can lie to you? You still use it because it is directionally correct and the accuracy rate is high enough that it makes it worth it.

Same with ChatGPT. I use the thinking model and rarely (if not never) get obvious errors.


Then you're testing how good someone is at exams as much as anything


You can sponsor a promotion; sales on a bunch of games - but it's not "Brought to you by the cool refreshing taste of Pepsi" it's like "Berlin Game Developers".


I meant the carousel.


GitHub lost me when Microsoft used my shitty code to train shitty AI without my permission.


Wym? They had a banner up for months asking if you wanted to opt out.


How do I opt out if somebody pushes a copy of my project's repo to their own namespace on GitHub?


Who's this random somebody that has a copy of your code that you don't want shared or trained on? GitHub's no saint here, but it seems like that somebody is an issue, not GitHub.


Until now there was never a reason to have a permissive software license that tries to restrict where the recipients can store the code, because this is a new issue. My software is AGPLv3 but I'd rather just stop sharing my code entirely than let these corpos profit from my work for free. Mirroring onto GitHub is very very common since GitHub is frequently accessible in network environments where random others forges may not be.


Long time Linux user, but I got lazy into the Windows ecosystem for too many years. My son convinced me to move over and I haven't looked back. I haven't found a game that hasn't run, the worst I have to do is change Proton version. Ubuntu was good, but Nobara is amazing (ndivia 5000 series drivers out of the box).


Modern street lighting provides a way clearer view of the scene imo than the old sodium lighting. Maybe it's just brighter now.


Providing a day-like view of the scene should not be the primary goal of nighttime lighting.


It's about 100000x brighter and if your bedroom is next to a street lamp, good luck getting some sleep.


Blackout curtains.


After they swapped out the lights at my job I couldn't sleep after night shifts. It's pitch dark but the biology thinks it was noon an hour ago.


Inadequate.


When I was an medical intern back in the day and worked 24 hour shifts every third day, I bought a roll of thick black vinyl and taped it to the window frame. 0.0 light got through.


But i want sunlight in the morning?



"i want a wife" "here's a blow up doll. Totally the same thing"


Best we can do in this economy.


A 29 minute 5K is not trivial


You're only running half of that.


> high quality medical advice

I'll replace my doctor with AI immediately after the tech bros do

lol


Don't buy the shit. You don't need a smart doorbell or robot vacuum at a minimum.


It just means the phone is massively overpowered :)
