Talk to your PC is just going to be Denholm Reynholm from IT Crowd.

For sure; nothing beats in person but you have to make do with what you can. I wish you the best of luck in your doctorate (from another mature age student and soon to be commencing Masters).

Ah very interesting. Still, it’s a shame cutting out the peer to peer discussions to expand one’s own learning and understanding.

No, it actually doesn’t. How LLMs work is that it takes in written words and makes a sentence based on the likelihood of what the next word will be based on human readable text. That’s literally it.

Hence, there’s absolutely no guarantee that ChatGPT’s ‘review’ of your homework will always be 100% correct because it is probable that the answer was written incorrectly in the billions of lines of text it has been fed.

On the other hand, a calculator has been superficially wired for it’s purpose to process an input. 1 + 1 will always equal 2.

I’d wager your supervisor will be horrified to learn that you’re getting an LLM to learn from rather than your peers. This is why i absolutely hate that it’s being used as a substitute what essentially makes us human: art, music, research, learning etc.

It’s a tool that needs a licence because you need to know how to use it to complement your existing skills, not supplement it.

Is this because of AUKUS?

Tools should be provided if you want to do that but shouldn’t be standard. People should have freedom of choice on how to use their own property, in terms of computers, and how they manage/raise their children.

Most standard street lighting comes in 4000K for some reason. It’s completely dumb. I’ve spoken to Melbourne City council about this many times but there’s a perception (an incorrect one) that 4000K feels ‘safer’.

We should all be actually using PC Amber LED chips but noooooo… Too ‘expensive’.

Also all LEDs should have lens optics and move away from reflectors to get a wide range of beam angles to prevent glare and other bad stuff that comes with using LEDs.

And we should also be doing proper disposal of LEDs once they die because they’re essentially little computers.

… Ok, rant over.

Yeh people can get guns but kids would have a really, really hard time getting access to one. Knives, easy, but guns? No.

Good grief. Who cares about porn?

Why not address government lobbying, for starters? Or how about the housing crisis/tax incentives that encourage wealth hoarding?

Good grief. Bloody AUKUS. Curse Scomo for signing us up to that rubbish.

When the world police run out of resources, they’re unable to police the world anymore and others who have smartly withheld resources will move in on coveted targets.
