Well, the answer is “at least 1”. We don’t know the destination of the polygamist or whether there were other travellers with less remarkable entourages.

St. Ives is a popular tourist destination, but stupidly remote and takes a long time to reach. It’s likely that there are several people travelling to St. Ives at any given moment.

You’ve only counted kits, not cats and wives.

Indeed it’s.

I doubt they are using Johansson’s voice. I expect they need much more studio-quality training data than they would have for her.

The desire to create a “Her” might be real but explains why they chose a similar voice actress, made Sky the default, and continued to pursue Johansson to some day create the real thing.

Suspending the Sky voice looks guilty but it might be a temporary action while the legal team considers their response. There might be a non-zero risk of being found liable if there were directions in the voice casting process to seek a result comparable to Scarlet Johansson. You’d want to collect and assess correspondence to see if that’s a possibility, which might take a while.

I don’t deny that this kind of thing is useful for understanding the capabilities and limitations of LLMs but I don’t agree that “the best match of a next phrase given his question, and not because it can actually consider the situation.” is an accurate description of an LLM’s capabilities.

While they are dumb and unworldly they can consider the situation: they evaluate a learned model of concepts in the world to decide if the first word of the correct answer is more likely to be yes or no. They can solve unseen problems that require this kind of cognition.

But they are only book-learned and so they are kind of stupid about common sense things like frying pans and ovens.

No, you can’t carry it, it’s too heavy

No, it doesn’t. Commands could be authenticated using a pre-shared secret. Even public cryptography existed prior to Voyager 1’s launch (by a year).

Based on the state of computer security at that time I would guess that’s unlikely, but then again it was the Cold War.

Anyway, just because it is possible it doesn’t mean anyone can do it.

I can’t help but notice Janeway developed an American accent in that 32 years though 😉

Wait, what accent do you think the girl in Airplane has?

I think it’s fair to colour seasons and episodes with different scales because they are measuring different things.

Due to the Central Limit Theorem, average of 20+ episodes will have a smaller standard deviation than individual episodes.

For example, an individual episode with a score of 6 you’ll probably watch. A whole season with a score of 6, maybe not.

I’ve used it, but only when I’m on some really sketchy unencrypted WiFi network, like in an airport or a hotel.

It doesn’t offer location spoofing like all other VPNs on the market, which I would have more use for.

Yeah but it sounds less cool if you say thirteen point three millilitres than to say Four (4) TRIOS™!!!

Would Monsieur like un peu de… potage de la nuit? It is very… how you say… risqué ?

Unless that person happens to be with their dad, that would then require finding their dad. That’s a whole extra person to find. It might be easier to skip straight to finding their dad.

Obligatory plug for STAR Voting, not Ranked Choice Voting. STAR voting better avoids situations where voting for a preferred candidate can cause a less preferred candidate to win.

Triangles taste objectively worse. The acute 45° angles are not effective at retaining sandwich contents so you are just tasting plain bread.

By cutting orthogonally you create 90° corners on each segment, allowing a uniform distribution of delicious filling throughout each sandwich segment.

That’s just maths.

Real scientists would say two gigacraters.

Some infinities are bigger than others but those are both the same sized infinity, ℵ₀. Same if you multi-track drift.

Edit: I didn’t read it closely enough, it says “one person for every real number”. Which is indeed a larger infinity. However I don’t think you can diagram that, the diagram is showing a countable infinity of people on the lower track.

Killing one person for each real number, the train will be killing an uncountably infinite quantity of people in any given finite time slice.

Yeah, chess was really hard when the board had to be vertical. Horizontal orientation was a huge improvement to the player experience.

The price difference is quickly made up for with the re-usability factor.

I don’t think that’s true, CD-Rs cost pennies. You have to rewrite every CD-RW 4 or 5 times before it’s comparable in price. In practice, across every CD-RW ever made, the approximate number of times it is written is probably about 0.5
