Because of Christianity, there was a need to have the Renaissance to begin with. The time was not called dark age because it was great. What an odd way to look at history.

Extremely progressive religions… Sounds like a contraction to me.

Why don’t people send “SD cards” with their video on it?

I guess for the same reason.

At the start of COVID, I was in Hanoi, but wanted to go to India before going home (it was super cheap). Before that, 2 things had happened:

1. The stupid airline blocked the money (in the credit card) for our flight back and on top also transferred it, which left me without money in Vietnam. Super big pile of shit already.
2. Due to COVID there was zero chance of reaching anyone for support. It took, at the end, another week when we where back for that money to be unblocked.

Then something else happened: They didn’t let us on our flight to India (and thus to our flight home). Despite the Indian government saying no restrictions untill 2 days later. I had the website if the Indian ministry right there to show them. (guess how long it took to get that money back, despite the person saying they refund right now: about a year!)

So now we were stuck in Hanoi, without money for a flight back. So I had to call my family for credit card details to pay for a flight. There was essentially no other option. I don’t plan to have 3x the amount of money “just in case”. I don’t travel much, so I assume parts of that are not too rare.

Don’t feel embarrassed. The developers failed.

Why do you think pyrolyzing random plastic waste generates biochar?

It would also never be carbon negative, since it is from oil. Best case is neutral, but some carbon is burned off in the process.

Same for concrete, it is not suddenly carbon negative.

If it was printed later or written on punch cards… how much code are we actually looking at?

Seems like the results are hit and miss. I don’t know why. I never thought much about how I please something, but maybe it does matter and I just happen to do it right?

Interesting. Can you copy that conversation? I would like to try the same input so we can compare. I also want to understand what topic it is etc.

Choose any topic where you are sufficiently proficient and ask it questions about it.

Asking it to directly do math is simply the wrong approach. Like using a car to paint lines on a road. It kind of can do it, but not really. You can ask it for instructions how to do the calculation or for code that does it. Or get the GPT Wolframalpha plugin and let that do it directly.

You specifically refered to the payment as one of 3 causes of this (someone else’s model and hardware, no payment). That is wrong, paying them does not change that. Notice how your reply makes it seem like I talk about the other 2 causes, I don’t.

Not to mention - taking about your own model is totally absurd. That is like suggesting to someone who dislikes touchscreens in cars to build their own car.

It provides really good information on a ton of topics. What makes you think it does not?

Ask it about how a rotary kiln works, what types of heat transfer occurs, what it is used for etc. It is pretty amazing

It is the same when you pay for it.

You don’t exploit by paying the price that was agreed on. The driver let’s himself be exploited, but that is not the fault of the customer. If I agree to give away 100 $ bills I don’t get exploited by people taking them.

1. In this case, the service is disconnected from your data. With Google et al., your data is the product.
2. Closing or some other form of taking your banking account hostage until you give them permission is not exactly something that should ever be possible to happen. This kind of service needs to be heavily regulated. Much unlike Facebook or some other social media stuff.

What do you mean with hardened? Why beta for financial stuff?

I have seen the same issiue with individual, niche forums: going down because of one person. It was just a matter of time for that to happen with a bigger site.

Peertube? Is that a thing or just an idea you just had? Sounds amazing!
