    They are large LANGUAGE models. It's no surprise that they can't solve those mathematical problems in the study. They are trained for text production. We already knew that they were no good in counting things.

    Microsoft Copilot integrates OpenAI's technology like GPT-4, but it is not exactly the same as ChatGPT. Copilot is designed to integrate AI into specific productivity tools like Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps. It also seems to have different system prompts and fine tuning which leads to different answers and styles.

  • Using inside info, iPhone thieves arrive at your house right after FedEx
  • Halcyon Halcyon 1w ago 100%

    The first ones were built in 2001 here, they're quite established. Problem is now that they sometimes are so full so that your parcel cannon be delivered to the one that you specified. Especially before Christmas it's insane. Sometimes DHL will deliver to a Post office instead which is not near the place you wanted.

    Here in Germany, DHL and Amazon have their own parcel drop off lockers where they put your parcels in and send you a code to retrieve it. You then have several days to get it. And these stations are plenty in every city.

  • Black-colored plastic used for kitchen utensils and toys linked to banned toxic flame retardants

    Another bad plastic item for the kitchen: plastic cutting boards. If you look at them up close, you can see that every time you cut on them with a sharp knife, lots of small micro plastic pieces are cut off.

    I've always found it counterintuitive to use any kind of plastic for cooking. I don't trust these silicone baking molds either. And: plastic containers don't belong in the microwave.

    Always stick to wood, metal and glass/ceramics in the kitchen!

    The University of Belgrade’s Institute for Multidisciplinary Research invented an urban photo-bioreactor. Liquid 3 cleans the air and serves as a bench in the Belgrade city centre. It's a tank filled with microalgae, a solar panel on the top generates electricity for USB charging ports for citizens and a pump that pumps air into the tank where the algae process the CO² and produce Oxygen. https://balkangreenenergynews.com/liquid-tree-to-combat-air-pollution-in-belgrade/
