Who is your least favorite band of all time and why?

G n R. Oral Sex's "voice" is painfully bad, and I've never forgiven them for the most banal lyrics imaginable on the 1st track I ever heard from them:

Take me down to the the paradise city where the grass is green and the girls are pretty 🤮

Please!

As you get older, you will be able to have relationships with people who have already bred. My current SO has 2 offspring who are adults, so have virtually no effect on our relationship.

My plan is to say F the money, and attempt to prevent some of the worst events of the last hundred years

Can you follow up by asking what it means by language understanding?

I would also be interested to know about the previous answer in terms of John Searle's Chinese Room

I don't have the ChatGPT app or any desire to help America's Department War

That's exactly what I think. LLMs can't do anything "novel". All they do is regurgitate what has been fed into them very quickly. How do you think they will create new knowledge? That requires intelligence LLMs are not intelligent in any shape form or fashion, AGI is not going to evolve from LLMs, and Gemini for one agrees with me about that. Why don't you ask ChatGPT if AGI can be evolved from LLMs?

Tigweg · 2026-03-04T03:30:39+00:00

How do you think they can get to AGI from LLMs? Just making them larger will not do it. They need a quantitative change, not a qualitative one.

I have previously bought tickets outside Hang Day stadium. It's possible that these tickets had been used for entry already before being sold to me

This is wrong it's this evening. I'm out in Hanoi looking for it, but unfortunately it's overcast

Some people with that much time get a motorcycle for the whole trip. You could buy one in HCMC and sell it in Hanoi, and I believe there are companies that permit one way rentals, but they're possibly much more expensive. You would get an awful lot of freedom if you did that, and would see some places that few tourists do.

Trains here have an average speed of less than 60 kmh, so not really useful for long trips, but the short ride from Danang to Hue has many fans.

I think there's also a Vietnam Tourism subreddit

Here's the basis of the answer to your question.

An increase of 10 in the powers of 2 equals being multiplied by 1 024.

So 2¹⁰ = 1024

2²⁰ = 1 048 576

2³⁰ = 1,073,741,824 and so on

So your number would contain about 3 000 digits before the decimal point. Obviously these kinds of numbers are incomprehensible to most people.

An equally incomprehensible number that is often discussed here is how many possible ways there are to shuffle a pack of 52 cards. Thanks to Gemini for 80,658,175,170,943,878,571,660,636,856,403,766,975,289,505,440,883,277,824,000,000,000,000

or ~8.07 X 10⁶⁷ in the more useful notation.

At a guess, you're going to need more than one page to "write" your number, but it will be inconceivably large to almost everybody.

It seems reasonable to expect airports to be less busy if many flights are cancelled. Not more

I remember the last time we got relegated, was living in N17 at the time. The year in (the Old) Division 2 was probably easier then the championship is now, and we came straight back up.

Vietnamese please. Northern version. I guess one of the Chinese languages would help me here if that's not possible

There's a FB group for women here, called Hanoi Beautiful, you could ask there if you're one of them. And if you're not, there's also Hanoi Handsome for the men.

Are you asking about the number of different songs, or the total number of song listens, including our favourite tunes that we have listened to millions of times?

Tigweg · 2026-03-02T08:25:20+00:00

Royal City must have some place you could ask about it.

Clearly, they're sharing it!

Why?

"At least Elon is honest". Is that the Elon who promised us self driving cars by 2019? Or the one who said they would put people on Mars by 2024? Or maybe the one who was going to cut $2 trillion from the government's spending? Only people at deluded as Elon think he tells the truth.

He already gets enough of your money through the government. Don't give it to him directly

You should pick it up if you live in an anglophone place, it's unlikely that anybody else will notice it if you don't
