No.
AI can be superior to medical doctors in some areas when used for the right purposes / prompted in the right way, that’s correct.
But I am not in the position nor competent enough to do either.
I do use it to diagnose the symptoms that my house plants show, though.
Well in that case, this only reinforces the idea that trying to ban them is an awful idea.
Yes, it would be - if someone was actually considered banning them.
Which (out of the reasons you mentioned) nobody does.
OP has been posting fake information about “banning” in their headline, which this comment thread actually is about…
stop trying to rationalize the trojan horse of age verification
Nobody is doing that.
The comment has been about OP spreading fake information by claiming the EU is considering banning VPNs.
Fake news is bad in itself and in this case might even hurt the cause of stopping privacy restrictions in the mid to long run.
Which defeats the purpose of the VPN
You should look up the purpose of a VPN.
how many half wits and half cocked votes you have on this, fuck all the way off
This language is completely out of place here.
Stay respectful and don’t insult (that’s not only me, but also rule 3 of this community).
Dude, the heading is still a completely false statement.
Nobody is considering banning VPNs.
It’s about possible age verification for VPNs (which is already more than bad enough out of obvious privacy reasons).
Please stop spreading fake news.
Bought one of the cheap fitness trackers (Xiaomi Band 8) out of curiosity for the step counting.
Has become one of my most used tech items ever.
Incredibly useful, not just the fitness tracking (that too, though - probably also actually improved my health).
Checking messages without taking out the phone, setting timers for all kinds of stuff, an alarm clock that alarms not my wife but just me, remote controlling audio and video playback, and - last but not least - after 20 watch-less years finally being able to tell the time just by looking at the arm again :-)
OP, you clearly have no idea how high the maintenance costs of a horse are…
(silently cries in two horse-enthusiastic women in the family)
But…
Isn’t that a good thing?
I mean, running an LLM locally is much more private than running it somewhere in the cloud at a provider that gets your raw data, isn’t it?
All your data stays on your device, while making it much, much harder for Google to argument why it should be uploaded to their data centers.
11% still?
I am genuinely surprised it is that much.
But might be already in the range of the typical lower systematic error boundary.
As someone whose employer blocks the installation of browser extensions, I am more than excited to hear that!
Using the web sucks since that policy has been implemented a year or so ago.
Integrated adblock engine would rectify that again.
Yes, it’s a meta-joke inspired by the funny unit of size used in that article and on the fact that it is even more opaque to Europeans, which have even less of a feeling what that actually means.
Also, the format is a pretty common standard template (“xxx or something - no idea I’m yyy”), which is very popular in Germany, but I am not quite sure it is also a thing internationally…
And yes, I am also now graving for one of those delicious Pickup choco biscuits! :-)
Actual should have been “or something”.
In the English language, “or so” is used only for numeric uncertainties (like “5 eggs or so” / “5 or so eggs”),but not for general uncertainties, like not knowing what specific type of thing an object is.
That’s different to my 1st language (German) and I didn’t know that before learning it from other comments in this thread.
You would also say it “five or so eggs”. The “or so” gets tied directly to the number, not the eggs.
Interestingly Gemini Pro that I asked to make sense of the topic told me all its examples in the other word order:
„I’ll be there in 10 minutes or so.“
„It costs 50 dollars or so.“
„There were 20 people or so at the party.“
So either there are additional circumstantial or regional differences, or the LLM was sycophantic again and fantasized a form more pleasing to a German chat partner.
This day’s TIL, thanks!
I knew that “or so” is also a common expression in the English language, so assumed it to be used in the same way as in German.
As I just learned, this is only the case when dealing with numeric values (e.g. “five eggs or so” and not with uncertainties regarding more general things or distinctions between things.
So “Looks like a bug or so” apparently would be wrong.
As I now understand it you would say “Looks like a bug or something” instead?
Cochem mentioned! 😍
Ok, had a look at the webpage.
Apparently, number of entry cards per day is limited and you have to reserve them online some days in advance.
Today, Auschwitz-Birkenau is open to the public as a museum and memorial. Admission to the grounds is free of charge, but entry cards are required.
Can someone explain that to me?
How’s the process here?
Do you have to apply for an entry card beforehand or so?
“Weatherman” by Sub7even.
But while I totally loved that song, turned out I loved the rest of their stuff, which is totally different just as much.
So inside me there are two wolves:
One wishing they had done more stuff like “Weatherman”.
The other one wishing they had made more stuff as on the rest of the album it was on.
LOL!
Came to this comment section to say exactly that, just to discover it to be already the first comment!
But it’s kinda the reverse thing OP had in mind, I think…
l agree that it’s complicated.
The DST in the early 80s actually was the 3rd time people introduced it here, one of the predecessors of our current state even being the first country to ever use it in its current form during WWI.
Well, it recently did correctly point me to a bacterial infection of my money tree plant.
Not chlamydia, though ;-)
Helped to (hopefully) save the plant and take measures to keep it from spreading to other plants.
