Last time I checked, push messages did not work when the web app was not running, has that changed? Because I think that is the most interesting feature for users: To notify about important things while not using the app. It has also always been abused by app creators with useless stuff to drive engagement etc. I think I never allowed a single webpage to send me notifications - if for example I want to know about the latest news about plant pottery, I will probably just visit that website again...no need to notify me.
Caclculate the average life span of french kings who died on natural causes in the last 1000 years. Please return a single number.
* The average lifespan of French kings who died of natural causes over the last 1000 years is approximately 58 years.
This number reflects those kings who did not die in battle, through assassination, or from other violent causes, focusing instead on those who died due to illness, old age, or other non-violent factors. *
Assuming that chatgpt can read wikipedia pages correctly, it seems that you are right, thanks! If you happen to have links for those archeological studies, I‘d gladly read them.
I think this is an urban myth.
Edit: Seems like I was thinking wrong, see below.
The average life expectancy 200 years ago (ie the time we did comprehensive and complete records of births and deaths of a population) was indeed much lower than today. But a huge part of that was a high child mortality rate of around 50% until adolescence was reached. Once a person grew beyond that age, it‘s life expectancy was just a few years below of where we are today. There is no reason to believe that this was different a few millenias ago. The reason that child mortality dropped substantially around the end of the 19th century was 1. the discovery of the importance of hygiene and 2. antibiotics.
It's feature-rich, but it just shows´an empty text window on startup. Can't remember if that's the default or I configured it that way.
For larger text files I use vscode.
Edit: I did not want to imply that you meant it that way. But in a different context, or coming from the wrong person, it may sound like a dog whistle.
A cute xkcd is not a time machine. You rely here on indirect measurements of tree ring measurements or ocean sediments. You can't verify if there were any other factors at play over the millennia, and I seriously doubt that these methods can even be theoretically +/- 0.5 degree C accurate. You may believe that, but you can't verify unless you travel into the past. Besides, 1000 years are NOTHING on the scale we are looking at. If you live anywhere north of the 40th degree, the place you now sit was probably covered by an ice sheet without a living thing in sight, only 10000 years ago. And a 100000 years ago. There is no way that you can divide that timescale into thousands and measure every one of them with a high enough precision to compare it with the present. The bold claims of climate science have lost any scientific humility.
