austinfloyd,

Yeah, definitely don’t just stick something in, use protection. If you want to use an unknown public charge, there are USB data blocker adapters you can buy.

You get slow charging (since the devices can’t negotiate), but it’s better than an infection.

austinfloyd,

Without any spoilers, I felt that the spider-verse movie was enjoyable on it’s own. Where the plot ended was, at least to me, in a good enough spot where I was both extremely satisfied with the movie I just watched and excited for the next film.

austinfloyd,

In personally trying to use ChatGPT 4 for a job task (programming), I would disagree strongly with this sentiment. I have yet to find a task where it doesn’t partially fail due to no notion of the concepts underlying the topic.

In an example, I asked it to write an implementation of reading from a well known file type as a class. It had many correct ideas for certain operations (compiled from other sources of course), but failed with the basic concept of class instantiation. It was calling class methods in the constructor, which is just not allowed in the language being used. I went through several iterations with it to avail before just giving up on it.

In “normal” language tasks, it seems to be quirky, but passable. But if you give it a highly technical task where nuance and conceptual knowledge are needed? I have yet to see that work in any reliable capacity.

Yeah, I’d agree that with sufficient iterations and clarifying remarks ChatGPT can produce something close to functional. I was mostly disagreeing with the original comment’s sentiment that it could be treated like the computer on the Enterprise. While they had several plot specific flaws, the duotronic computers were generally competent and didn’t need everything spelled out for them.

austinfloyd,

In the elementary school Indiana history class (4th grade) it was even a part of the curriculum* to learn where were are in the US.

We were taught that the Northwest Territory became what is now called the Midwest (the area east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio rivers).

  • curriculum as of the late 80s / early 90s
austinfloyd,

Oh that’s definitely true. I was just surprised to see something similar (especially the avoiding eye contact) in the animal kingdom.
