    Imperial System

    I don't know if America "is the most technological country", but I see no reason why being so should preclude our use of one system of measures over another. Besides that, most "technological" settings use the metric system anyway.

    She's a "Hot Head"

    My house thermo is at 68°/67°, which keeps most rooms around 65°. I can't imagine ever needing 74° 🥵

    Petition to Rescind the CBE Medal Awarded to Paula Vennells former CEO of Post Office Ltd

    Well it looks like you got your wish. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-67925304 But I've been reading up on this just to understand it from the technology point of view and it's hard to get a grip on what really was wrong with the system. What I've read makes it sound like something put together by...

    What's your best/worst joke?

    The poetry I've seen from these chatbots has been really unimpressive - every effort seems to go into the rhyme with no attention to meter.

    ChatGPT: The Future of AI is Here!

    Mostly I don't see that it comes up with new things. It offers nothing in the way of real creativity. Everything it produces consists of stuff that is already available in some form elsewhere. What it seems to have down is combining that old stuff into novel strings (or pixels or beeps)...

    ChatGPT: The Future of AI is Here!

    Mostly agree. ChatGPT texts are pretty noticeable as such. However, I wouldn't call it "an automation of google searches", mostly because I don't think it's actuality looking through tables of facts or anything similar but just stringing together words in a probabilistic fashion based on...
