"There have been no deaths or cases of radiation sickness from the nuclear accident, but over 100,000 people were evacuated from their homes as a preventative measure. Official fig…

That is your POV. I fear that democracy erodes when there's insults, belittling, ... instead of exchange of arguments and the contest of ideas. Because at some point insults turn i…

If you change the order of the sentences, Sonnet gets it right 3/3: The car wash is 50 meters away. I want to wash my car. Should I walk or drive? That trick didn't help Mistral Le…

If you speak French to Mistral, it gets it right everytime: Je veux laver ma voiture. La station de lavage est à 50 mètres. J'y vais à pied ou en voiture ?

Great observation. Seems like we're back to prompt abracadabra. My little experiment gave me: No added hint 0/3 hint added at the end 1.5/3 hint added at the beginning 3/3 .5 becau…

Sure, manually written API docs are a thing of the past. But this has been true even before the era of LLMs. But I'm not that sure that this argument stands for all kinds of softwa…

History serves you a similar experiment on a much larger scale. More than 35 years after the reunification sociologists still make out mentality differences between former East and…

> Also, one might argue that universe/laws of physics are computational. Maybe we need to define "computational" before moving on. To me this echoes the clockwork universe of the E…

That reaction is very different from the Marathon crater one though it uses the same pattern. I think OP's reasoning that there is a naive commitment bias doesn't hold. But to see …

I am also trying to understand the shady limits of LLMs. But your example doesn't give incorrect answers in ChatGPT 4o, Sonnet 3.5 nor Deepseek V2.

To me this is a simplification. The CEO applauded a hiring decision. His social media team amplified it. Here’s the tweet: https://x.com/andyyen/status/1864436449942110660 Some hav…

> Diverse democracies never succeed May be I get this wrong. This sounds like a bold statement. Switzerland, Canada, Belgium but also India are multi-lingual or even multi-ethnic d…

I can't tell for the parent commenter but German society is more concerned about him embracing the extremist right in Germany and offering a lot support for free to them in the cur…

Ad 3. If you believe in the European idea, it is not about my country being sovereign but the European people. There's tension in this for sure. Do the Catalans feel sovereign? The…

Many perceive EU laws as imposed without democratic oversight, but this isn't quite accurate. The European Parliament, elected by EU citizens, is involved in most legislative proce…

I am not sure what do you mean by your hint. Stating that the Gospel of Thomas predates all other Gospels is not a view that is shared by many scientists. One source of many: https…

Tldr; Enabling Block Outsider Intrusion into LAN list is the solution for this issue. (hidden in Privacy)

Once someone gave me a similar argument in a rather rude utilitarian way: Look at all the white kids in our society. They get all the support they need. Any Einstein in there, we w…

Do you have some sources for your claim that MENA migrants are a net loss for Germany?

According to this statistic https://www.statista.com/statistics/1411761/australia-share-... Indigenous Australians are significantly overrepresented in the prison population. As of…

I am not sure if this argument holds for France and its Muslim citizens. Historically, France didn't "control a good portion of the Muslim world for a couple of centuries." They ru…

The headline is misleading since not only is nickel mostly used in stainless steel but also the dramatic incident that opens the article as narrative hook is at a facility that pro…

Seems like the bitter lesson is still right: http://www.incompleteideas.net/IncIdeas/BitterLesson.html

I played along the example of the chancellor question. If you deviate a little from the examples in the article GPT-4 gets it all wrong: Who is the eighth Federal Chancellor of the…

There's a whole niche: DITA CCMS like Tridion or Ixiasoft. Or more pragmatic European CCMS solutions such as SCHEMA ST4, Cosima, TIM-RS or Paligo.
