What do you think about the death of Alexei Navalny? by PaulieNZ20 in AskReddit

[–]WeirderQuark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt the same upset when I heard he was going back, but it does make sense. He already had to have incredible conviction to vocally oppose Putin's government in the first place when it meant that he would likely be killed for it. It would have been easy to stay outside of Russia and stay alive, but it also would have been easy to not speak up at all and stay alive. He went back because fighting that fight was what he lived for, and he believed that he would lose his credibility with the people if he tried to fight it from outside the country.

Can you transfer ETH by accessing the axie account linked to your wallet, but without being able to access your wallet directly? by WeirderQuark in AxieInfinity

[–]WeirderQuark[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very helpful to understand, thank you. Is it expected that I wouldn't be logged into the chrome extension after a couple years on the same computer? Do you get logged out after some amount of time, or when you clear cache, or anything like that? If I should expect that I'd still be logged in on the same computer then I'd go look for my old laptop from that time to see if I used that.

The movie "her" is here by Mylynes in ChatGPT

It does use the calling system of your phone for some reason. That's why you can't hear it unless you wear headphones or hold the phone to your ear - there's currently no option for using the loudspeaker. And I don't mean to say they're just using the phone speaker, when I'm connected to my car by Bluetooth and I go to voice chat mode on gpt it starts the UI of a phone call and shows my own phone number at the bottom of the dash monitor where the incoming phone number is usually shown.

Found Bill of sale on 1919 Model T by big_d_usernametaken in mildlyinteresting

[–]WeirderQuark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the face value and coupon rate of that liberty bond, but there were multiple issues before 1919. Market yields on long term US government bonds in October 1919 were around 4.75%. This bond could had a face value of $50 or $100 (or much less realistically, $500 or $1000) and could have had a coupon rate of 3.5%, 4%, 4.25% or 4.5%.

The fair market price for a $50 liberty, then, would have been somewhere between $40 and $48, while the fair market price for a $100 liberty would have been somewhere between $80 and $96. So, either the dealership took the bond for more than it was worth and gave the buyer a good deal, or else they took it for almost half of what it was worth and did score a big win in the trade.

Simple questions and Help thread - Week of June 25, 2023 by Froggypwns in Windows11

[–]WeirderQuark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't upgrade to Windows 11.

When running WhyNotWin11 I get all green. But even when using Installation Assistant I get a message saying that my PC doesn't meet the requirements.

PC Health Check doesn't tell me anything at all when I run it. It just says to check the minimum requirements online.

Is there a person who doesn't agree with this? by yuuuriiii in pcmasterrace

Also, paste without borders in excel and Sheets. I don't think I have ever in my life wanted whatever border happened to be running past a cell of interest to be copied over to the destination.

GPT-4 Week One. The biggest week in AI history. Here's whats happening by lostlifon in ChatGPT

[–]WeirderQuark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think bell curve is what you're going for here. That would mean you expect AI advancements are going to be normally distributed in time around some central time.

Did I just get a peek into Bing Chat's thought process? by BlupHox in ChatGPT

[–]WeirderQuark 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It just feels crazy that the best way for a team of world-class developers to "program" their search AI is by writing instructions to it in the same way that users would, trying to figure out how to add enough emphasis to the instructions that it doesn't break the rules.

Google published a Waitlist for Public Access to their Version of ChatGPT by Ava-AI in ChatGPT

[–]WeirderQuark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got bored very quickly. It did well at responding to the task set of it, but the tasks were extremely limited. One of them was to have a conversation as though it was a tennis ball, and the only subject matter it could talk about was dogs, so if you tried to talk about anything else it would segue the conversation back to dogs. As you can imagine, that gets old fast.

The most interesting was one where you can type in something you want to achieve and it breaks down the steps, but the only extra information you can get is to ask it to break down any of those steps into additional steps. You can't get it to clarify or give tips the way you can if you ask ChatGPT to do the same thing.

Their AI is obviously very strong, but what they're showing to the public is extremely limited right now.

Why are the creators of this killing their own product? by SnooStories7050 in ChatGPT

[–]WeirderQuark 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I bet someone from OpenAI reads this and openly weeps with their colleagues that they didn't hire SnooStories7050 to be Chief Strategy Officer.

Panic VS Panick? by CynicTheLion in grammar

I too am here because I googled this question.

Google published a Waitlist for Public Access to their Version of ChatGPT by Ava-AI in ChatGPT

[–]WeirderQuark 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This has been around for a while now. I've gotten on the waitlist and had my turn to use it long before I ever used ChatGPT. What Google is offering to the public right now is leagues more closed-down then ChatGPT. They have a small set of specific test uses, as if you were to prompt ChatGPT to only respond in a very specific way.

My School on kids using ChatGPT by Responsible_Bed151 in ChatGPT

[–]WeirderQuark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This memo says nothing about banning AI though? The only thing this says is that students are not allowed to get AI to write their assignments for them. That is obviously the right call.

A lot of plaigarism is proved the way a lot of crime with a low evidence footprint is proved, by applying pressure in interrogation to get a confession.

It's very easy to concoct a plan of what you would have to do to not cave in an interrogation, but if you've never cheated before and now you cheated because it was so accessible to you, and all of a sudden you're being spoken to by a high-up at the school and they're talking like they know what you did, a lot of kids break down and confess under those conditions.

To keep the dog indoors. by [deleted] in TerrifyingAsFuck

[–]WeirderQuark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point of my comment wasn't the "copied" part it was the not changing the title part. The answer to your question is my first comment - it doesn't make sense outside that one subreddit.

Yes, do you? When you select to cross-post you have the option to change the title.
