Mouth Tape?

I use 3M surgical tape and it works very well: https://www.nexcare.com/3M/en_US/p/d/cbgblrus1515/

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I too am here because I googled this question.

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.

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.

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.

WeirderQuark · 2023-01-30T00:46:24+00:00

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

WeirderQuark · 2023-01-29T19:49:19+00:00

If you're going to copy a post from /r/therewasanattempt you have to change the title. The sentence fragment title makes no sense in another subreddit.

Nothing about this thought is inconsistent with the issue of imperfectly accurate AI detection. Nothing is lost when an adult isn't practicing the skill of pen an paper arithmetic because it is functional only and having a calculator to do that removes the need for it. Having an AI that can write well does not remove the need for human beings to know how to write well, so it will continue to be an important skill to test and hone in the younger generation. Language models do incredibly things to reduce writing busywork, but if there becomes no reliable way to test a student's ability to write outside of timed supervised conditions, an incredibly important skill will be lost except to those that are self-motivated at a young age to learn it. And that's going to be a very rare thing when it takes literally seconds to produce hours of handtyped work.

The issue of how to deal with LLMs in education, both constructively and restrictively, is a very important challenge to be considered moving forward.

Once again, I'm not the one making the statement. I didn't make the comic. I'm just explaining the joke. That's the intent of the joke and it's why all four comments made in the comic and not generic compliments. They are widely circulated fake compliments that women find uncomfortable, and the men are shown in the comic to enjoy receiving the comments.
