Historically, in monarchies, it's not been that offensive to appoint deserving individuals to a high command role in the military. Especially if they pay their way in.

IIRC, the term robot comes from the Slavic rabota, "work". Thus Capek didn't invent anything, he was simply referring to "workers".

Murphy's law strikes again. I forgot that less-than sign must be escaped in HTML. Here's the corrected comment

I'm sorry but you're only projecting your wishes here.

As you say, ChatGPT >= random human, but give a random human a day of instruction with a chess teacher (whereas ChatGPT got access to the entire internet's worth of chess discussions for years) and that human >= 3rd grade chess club. But we've just seen now that ChatGPT < 3rd grade chess club. Contradiction!

In other words, this news proves (to those who are rational wishful thinkers) that ChatGPT claims about >= random human are full of shit.

TL;DR. YW. YHL. HAND.

;-)

Clearly, you speak from a place of obscenely specific competency and luck, if you can maintain not just one but two email servers with "minimal effort".

Unfortunately for your example, you are very much the exception, since you are a domain-specific expert who knows off the top of their head, and has the free time to set up and maintain this sort of thing.

Obviously, most people are not like you, and becoming like you is something people hesitate to attempt.

It's no good preaching to the choir. In the real world people do take them serious cause they paid money for one a them therapy sessions. And the liar bot took the money and pretended to be a doctor. That's fraud, on top of everything else that's wrong with this.

If you want government to make you a safe internet you are going to be disappointed.

KK, meet China. Soon to be available in a country near you. Where there's a will there's a way. (and other phrases)

...what Google should really do is incentivize apps that are only 15MB in size. The entire app ecosystem was built on phones that had 200KByte/sec download speeds, at best; apps had to be optimized in order to be chosen.

Now, we've got ultra fast LTE/5G speeds...and 100MByte apps for restaurant menus and gas station points, that get updated weekly with full-size downloads, with patch notes that amount to "fixed typo in the Pig Latin translation". Instant Apps were only needed *because* apps have become so massive and bloated, with frameworks layered on redundant frameworks.

If Google offered preferential placement to smaller apps, there wouldn't be a need for Instant Apps. Now sure, this begets 'stub installers', where an 'app' is basically a frontend who's first job is to download the rest of the app, a problem in its own right. While I certainly wouldn't begrudge a game for downloading assets for one level at a time to minimize storage usage for the player, it would take roughly three seconds for apps to become tiny installer stubs that make users wait five minutes before the app is in a usable state...so, that's its own issue...but even so, rewarding optimization is a benefit for *everyone*.

I'm as much a fan of the original as plenty of people here, but I suspect it won't be the same this time around. The kind of slapstic and risque humour that Spaceballs depends on doesn't work any more with modern audiences. On top of that, Mel Brooks' immense talent specializes in Jewish themed comedy, and the political climate will not do him no favours. History of the World Part I was great, though.

So the system responded that it was an already claimed serial number and not an invalid serial number? Who the fuck would do that?

Let's say someone put in a claim.

Well what is to stop them from trying consecutive serial numbers to see if they can get even more?

And where should those documents *go*? Are we conceding that everything should just be stored in OneDrive, with no folder structure? So then, what's to stop Microsoft from preventing LibreOffice from accessing OneDrive, thus making the utility of Office "you can't access your data any other way anymore"? If we're cool with local file storage, then one would need a way to specify the logical volume the data is supposed to be written to...perhaps with a list of the different volumes that are available...and perhaps a means of using folders and subfolders to help categorize the data...

Yes. Shubhanshu Shukla will take part in an actual mission.

Kate Perry was a tourist: she just paid big bucks to go have some fun at low G in a capsule.

Nobody cares what you personally envion. (Just as you wouldn't care if I personally decided to envions you as a "Zorglub").

Check instead the first paragrph at Wikipedia:

An astronaut [...] is a person trained, equipped, and deployed by a human spaceflight program to serve as a commander or crew member of a spacecraft. Although generally reserved for professional space travelers, the term is sometimes applied to anyone who travels into space, including scientists, politicians, journalists, and space tourists.

So most of the time it's used for professionals taking part in amission.

And from the summary above:

They will conduct 60 scientific studies, including microgravity research, earth observation, and life, biological and material sciences experiments.

They are not tourist who merely paid to go frolicking in weightlessness.
They are trained professionnals sent on a mission that includes working on experiments and other scientific goals.

Crew are part of the astronauts.
In its most widespread use the term "astronaut" isn't restricted to a specific task like controlling the spacecraft (that would be a "pilot") and do pay attention that a lot of spacecraft across the history of space exploration have been significantly computer-controlled or on purely passive trajectory with very little piloting actually involved.
But for anyone of the trained professionals sent on a mission. If you want to find a seafaring equivalent, that would be an "explorer" or indeed as you hint "scientist".
There's no equivalent of "sailor" currently in space as, due to high cost to orbit, etc. to make the most efficient use of the personnel sent up there, they are all trained to perform multiple scientific goals of the mission.

So you can clearly build a two column table with people like Neil Armstrong, Valentina Vladimirovna Tereshkova, or today's Shubhanshu Shukla on one side, and Kate Perry on the other.
Did they train professionally? One category did, the other merely passed a medical exam to make sure she doesn't accidentally die.
Did they get deployed on a mission? One category was, the other merely went up there for fun.
Were they either commander or crew? One category has membre which held various posts, the other was up there just for fun.

Another way to look at the difference is the same as between work travel and holidays.

Ignoring the obvious attempts at dog whistling,
for fuck's sake, even Richard Gariott managed to have actual mission goals to accomplish (even if a lot of them were more in the field of public communication and raising awareness).
The only different between Richard Garriott is that his mission was mostly self-funded whereas most of the usual astronauts tend to be deployed on a mission by public agencies.
Kate Perry just paid to go have fun.

Yes great to mention the linking aspect, that was key to the whole thing being really useful.

Hi person that uses AI, I have been asked an interview question. I happen to know that the answer is 42. What question do I ask my LLM to make it spit out the correct answer?

p.s. Please answer quick, I only have 10 minutes left in the interview!
