Very easy to fool. For example, when it asked me "Which city is the capital of Australia?" providing the answer "the capital city of Australia" was judged to be correct. Same when asked about the author of a novel and answering "the author of 'novel'".

I did 7 in a row simply refecting back the question.

I just sent feedback to ASUS expressing my concern at the loss of bootloader unlocking. I have 2 perfectly good cell phones that are e-waste now, simply because the vendor stopped issuing patches, and the bootloader can't be unlocked to use LineageOS. I bought a Zenfone recently because I thought I'd be avoiding that issue. If they don't fix this, I won't be buying another one. ASUS CEO contact page: https://www.asus.com/us/support/article/787/

I just sent feedback as well. I bought an Asus phone in the past and was planning on buying more in the future. I used to recommend them everywhere. I will not be purchasing any more Asus phones until this is fixed.

I was on the fence about buying a zenphone but waiting to see if the bootloader unlock ever showed back up.

Still holding a pixel 3, unlocked, with lineage. There are no small phones with good specs and unlockable. Zenphone seemed the way, until they stopped with their unlocks.

What a market to be burying in the mud.

Rewarding their bad behaviour by buying more devices doesn't feel right.

I guess we're here: https://xkcd.com/1425/

Probably five minutes with chat GPT vision api

What year was that published?

That XKCD was published 2014-09-24. So less than 10 years later, identifying objects in photos has gone from an impossible research task to trivial.

There's a complete list of publication dates at https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/List_of_all_comic...

Well, the comic did say it would take 5 years.

I've never been able to approach this book in text. I did listen to an abridged audiobook performance of Finnegan's Wake, and enjoyed it in the same way I suppose I would enjoy listening to a foreign language poetry recital.

So sad. Such loss. Wow.

Apparently that one is still alive :

This is actually the "Bonk! Go to horny jail" dog.

The author of that post has a YouTube channel called Dave's Garage[0], and has video series that cover development of Task Manager, Space Cadet Pinball, and others.

Tell me how to falsify the claim that other people are also conscious?

The quote above is from the book 1984. I felt it fit.

Interesting that the core is oversized. 640Km should be enough for any body.

I've written code like this in C to create library functions that will be linked in to other projects, but where there is no 'main' function in the C file. Do people use C++ the same way, or is it best practice to include 'main?'

It's the same as in C. The observation here is that variables with static storage duration can be initialized by running user code before main() begins.

It’s also the same in .NET. If your Main() function references types that have a static constructor, the constructors could run before Main().

It’s a surprising thing when one first discovers it, but it makes a lot of sense.

Oh! Thank you. That makes much more sense now.
