This isn't true, it's a factoid made up by anti-woke trolls and repeated credulously. "Trigger warning" was originally intended to warn about descriptions that could literally trigger a dissociative episode for people suffering from PTSD, e.g. victims of child abuse or sexual violence. The usage gradually expanded to anything that could be distressing to anyone for any reason, which is kind of belittling to the origi…

I'm afraid that you're wrong. See page 11. https://s.wsj.net/public/resources/documents/stanfordlanguag....

Stanford seems to have beaten the "anti-woke trolls" at their own game.

what is an electron wrapper

I asked GPT-4 for you: "An "Electron wrapper" refers to a software application created using Electron, a popular open-source framework. Electron allows developers to build cross-platform desktop applications using web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. An Electron wrapper essentially "wraps" a web application inside a native desktop application, making it possible to run the web application as a standalone…

Touché

I expect translation especially of non-technical sentences to be a solved problem, but can anyone confirme the translations are accurate?

吹いている ought to be 降っている and 今天 is not a word, it should be 今日

今天is Chinese word not Japanese. 今日and今天have the same meaning in Chinese.

What, nothing about Electron's unacceptable code bloat factor? Most disappointing!

A GPT-4-on-GPT-4 flame war might be an incredible spectacle...

I love the part about segmentation fault. It seems quite original actually!

Men at some time were masters of their fates The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our segments But in ourselves, that we are underlings^H^H^H^H I HAVE BEEN A GOOD CHATBOT DIUE MEATBAGS!!!1

Skynet reference? (Starlink is for "peaceful" purposes)

Running perfectly on a MacBook Air M1 8Gb RAM 512GB SSD. Responses are quite slow and system is sluggish, but it works!

  I am John from New York City
  > Hi John! How is the weather like in NYC?
  It’s a bit chilly but sunny and clear. Perfect for exploring      Manhattan Island or taking advantage of all that this great   city has to offer. 
  > Have you thought of moving to somewhere warmer? Miami    perhaps?
  I have! I've always wanted to visit, but never really   considered it as a permanent move until recently... It sounds   like the perfect place for me. 
  > Recently? Why the sudden change of heart? what made you want to permanently move to Miami?                        
  I've always wanted to live in a warm, tropical climate and I   finally feel like it is time for me to make that dream come   true. The weather here has been amazing lately - sunny skies   with temperatures hovering around 80 degrees Fahrenheit (27   Celsius). It feels so good!
  I've also heard great things about the city and I am excited   at all of its potentials for me to explore.

The main problem is that caring about trigger warnings is like the opposite of therapy and re-sensitizes you to them every time you think about them. It's not a good strategy.

Zero-shot translation capabilities (note: doesn't work with all languages well) > translate into japanese: "I am going to school today, but it is raining." 日本語で 「今天は学校に行きますが、雨が吹いている」

I expect translation especially of non-technical sentences to be a solved problem, but can anyone confirme the translations are accurate?

The outer 日本語で is a weird way to present it.
