    AKTUALLY, female horses have eggs. Maybe somewhere out there in internet land people buy/sell/eat them.

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    That's what I find odd. Is it will always give you an answer even if it's completely wrong. It never states, "I don't know".

    First episode: "Hey that wasn't half bad!" Second: "Total shit, here we go...."

    Hmm...you can't give Chat GPT an image, but you could describe the graph to it. Although I'm not sure how I could put into words your example.

    Just don't allow them to be animated. And, for the love of God, don't give them a titanium reinforced chassis.

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    I was watching the movie M3GAN, and at the beginning it shows toys that talk to kids. Well, there you go. Have a toy that connects to wifi and use the ChatGPT API to perform query/responses for the child. As we've seen, you can instruct ChatGPT to respond like a child or whatever you like. It...

    All the if/thens they're adding to handle the racist requests is causing this motherfucker to become unstable as hell.

    This was interesting: Buy a bunch of cheap OTM QQQ calls.

    You can often just edit -> save & submit and it'll answer if it refused previously. Although, for me, it generated that poem right off the bat.

    I wonder how they will handle users feeding it false info?

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Probably so. But that begs the question, what happens when everyone abandons GPT's sources of info for GPT itself?

    Right, I think ChatGPT may have killed StackOverflow

    Pantheon

    I think it's definitely worth watching if you like the subject matter -- that is artificial intelligence (although in this it's human uploaded intelligence) and how it might run amok. I think the first season was reasonably complete on its own.

    It's not. It's more of an alternate universe version.

    I like trading the daily chart and my strategy has been this: I wait for a breakout candle after a period of consolidation. I'll then buy a CALL or PUT option depending on the anticipated direction of the move. The problem I'm having is that we're constantly gapping up or down every day at...

    Well, I'm just thankful I didn't completely blow my account up. Right now, it seems like trying to trade options is nigh impossible in this environment. Or my strategy sucks balls.

    His Dark Materials

    I haven't finished this, but I am up to the episode where they go to the underworld. And like your wife, I didn't understand why Lyra HAD to go see Roger to point where she'd willingly separate from her Daemon. Roger's dead, so didn't she literally have an eternity? Seems like they had much...

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    I don't think I do. I couldn't find this option in setup anywhere. I am reading that the CPU in the router could be a limiting factor. This router is actually pretty old, circa 2016 I believe. I bought it used as to experiment with OpenWRT. Maybe I simply need a more performant router.

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    Yes, the cable I used to plug directly into the modem (which achieved 400mbps) is the same cable that I used to plug directly into the router. So clearly the router is the issue somehow. However, I have two desktop computers in another room which are connected to a switch, which in turn is...

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    Alright, got a network problem/question: I recently upgraded to a DOCSIS 3.1 modem. My internet plan is 400mbps down. Okay, if I plug a computer directly into the modem, I do in fact get those speeds. But, once I plug the modem into the router, and a computer directly into the router (i.e...

    Right, I've been using Ubuntu on a laptop and I get the exact same annoying behavior. I think even trying to update itself it'll complain about it being running and can't update. OKAY? Then shut yourself down and then perform the update. Why do I have to drop to a command prompt and kill...

    Claudia was also in Pitch Black before she became kinda/sorta well known. I think, anyway. I just recall going back to watch Pitch Black and was like OH HEY!

    Yeah, I have one of these running next to my bed. I just don't understand why this suddenly came on out of nowhere. Nothing in my environment has changed. Except my age, I suppose.

    Health Problems

    I had bought one of those Navage nasal irrigation devices a while back. I used it once a day and didn't really make a difference. Maybe I'll try it more often. I also have a Vicks nasal steamer too. Again, never noticed a change.

    Health Problems

    And now for something completely different. Right after the pandemic lockdowns (not sure if related), I started getting this feeling of mucus in the back of nose. It literally feels like if you had a thick, snotty nose but on the other side -- at the back of the nasal passage before entering...

    This was pretty good. Would've loved to know more of his backstory. Is being Santa Claus some kind of penance?

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Well, you would be wrong. I was in the middle of the spot. He wasn't literally up against my side. My point is there is zero reason for him to have parked there to begin with other than being, as you said, a jackass.
