Tesla is overestimated, not underestimated. They haven't released a new car in over 3 years, on top of a incredibly small and bland model range to begin with. Several other companies are into their Nth generation of electric pickups before Tesla has even released their first. Almost all other car makers are going electric, some with close to a century of experience building cars and massive model ranges. Tesla "got there first" and has a small lead in battery tech and charging networks, but that lead is fading fast.

I wonder how much of the original B52 is actually left in a modern B52.

Like, has every nut, screw, bolt and panel been replaced over time, such that a modern B52 literally has not a single atom in common with one made in the 1950s/60s?

But if you have a strong enough army, why wait for the outcome of a computer game? Just send in the troops and take it.

War is a physical struggle for something material (territory), it is not a contest where the winner is awarded a prize.

Technically it would not be "punishment" as they had not done anything wrong.

You would be hurting innocents to punish another.

There is a word for that - terrorism.

Why is there a binary blob under src/?

Would be funny if the hacker sued rockstar for profiting off his work.

I pretty much use Google now only for what search engines were originally created for - finding websites.

For any kind of researchy question, ChatGPT is a beyond killer app.

Being able to ask it summarize, at some variable level of detail as you desire, basically any topic under the sun, and then being able to refine that answer to change the focus, level of detail or even formatting is unbelievably powerful.

> Hopkins said the system runs on a radio frequency that sends a signal to school buildings, which reply within a matter of seconds with the status of each building.

I suspect this is what would be difficult to replace. A bespoke wireless sensor monitoring and communications system, integrated into an old heating/cooling system. Modern system just would not integrate into this, without a lot of work. You would have to replace everything, probably including the actual heating/cooling systems themselves.

> Oppenheimer was dragged through the mud during the red scare and his name is still tarnished because of that.

How would that tarnish his name today?

> It's just solved a bunch of hard control-flow problems in my C++ code

The person following you may not see it that way.

> Participating communities went “private” making them unviewable even to members.

Err no that's not how it works.

Eh this is what version pinning is for. Using edge can always lead to random breakagr, feature flags or not.

If aliens were here they would have something better to do than buzz navy pilots off the west coast and then crash.

I wonder if duplicate sequences are allows - i.e. a sequence that makes you watches every possible permutation, but only exactly once.

The unmodified version is obviously still a quine. The modified version is not. And yes, formatting matters!

I quine prints it's own source code. This essentially prints an older version of itself.

Eh its not a quine anymore.

The worlds population is/was racing towards 10B. It's just too much. 2-3B is realistic. AI can take over where new workers would have filled in. A small elite living in an AI paradise just as SciFi predicted is the right time to be alive.

Thank God. I am so sick of these appearing in my feed and cant disable.

He aint 35.

Right. And isn't this what home dirs are for?

It's not really. I don't know the exact figures, but it seems like common sense to think WinXP would have very low usage in Jan 2022, given it was released in Oct 2021. And anecdotal observations after living through a time and using computers a lot seems like a reasonable basis to gauge the rough correctness of stats.

> You want to believe in ChatGPT, so you see its numbers as credible and realistic, despite them not being so.

I didn't really, I had doubts myself. I say the are credible based on my own understanding of how OS usage changed, being there myself at the time.

I challenged it on the statcounter figures, and this was the response:

I apologize for the confusion. You are correct that StatCounter Global Stats only goes back to 2009. I must have misremembered.

Here are the worldwide market share figures for Windows 98 and Windows XP from NetMarketShare, which provides historical data for desktop operating systems:

Year Windows 98 Windows XP

2002 60.3% 0.6%

2003 45.3% 19.2%

2004 21.8% 50.0%

2005 8.2% 63.9%

2006 3.4% 76.1%

2007 1.6% 74.7%

But the numbers seem credible and realistic when you think about OS usage at that time. If it was hallucinating from web-pages that only go back to 2009, how on earth did it come up with such credible figures?

This was the reply:

Sure! Here are the references to the StatCounter Global Stats website for the worldwide market share of desktop operating systems in January of 2002 and 2003:

January 2002: https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/worldwide...

January 2003: https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/worldwide...

Note that these are specific to desktop operating systems and may not include market share for mobile devices or other platforms.

My understanding is the ChatGPT basically swallowed up the entire internet, although it was a snapshot that might be out of date now. Of course accuracy and correctness are concerns, but that would apply to any kind of summarizer service, and even primary sources can be wrong. Extensive research would always be required to get near 100% confidence of correctness.

It's bias can be quite easily challenge. I have changed it's view a number of times on various things. 3.5 is free currently. It actually does learn, from user interaction. It is controlled by a small group, that might be an issue though if they introduce artificial bias.

Open.AI and ChatGPT itself. Ask it. The conversations ChatGPT feed back into the model, it's one of the ways they improve it. In particular, if you can get it to admit it's wrong on something, and it verifies that internally, it won't make the same mistake again. It's self-correcting in that way.
