  • It loves long-winded answers, so I tried this:

    Prompt:

    In three sentences or less, explain to me how a man with a boat and a goat can cross a river.

    ChatGPT4o:

    The man can take the goat across the river first and leave it on the other side. Then, he returns alone, picks up the boat, and crosses the river again. Finally, he retrieves the goat from the other side.

    I think it really needs those first few tokens to think about the problem.

  • Prompt:

    So a man and a goat are trying to get across a river, and they have a boat. How can they get across?

    ChatGPT4o:

    To solve the problem of getting a man and a goat across the river using a boat, we need to know the constraints of the problem. Let's assume the following constraints:

    1. The boat can only carry one additional passenger besides the man.
    2. The goat cannot be left alone on either bank if there are certain items (like a cabbage or a wolf) that it might eat or be eaten by.

    Given these constraints, here’s a typical solution if the man is trying to get a goat, a wolf, and a cabbage across the river without any of them being left together unsupervised:

    1. The man takes the goat across the river and leaves it on the other side.
    2. The man returns alone to the original side.
    3. The man takes the wolf across the river and leaves it on the other side.
    4. The man returns with the goat to the original side.
    5. The man takes the cabbage across the river and leaves it on the other side.
    6. The man returns alone to the original side.
    7. The man takes the goat across the river again.

    If the problem is just about the man and the goat and no other items:

    1. The man and the goat cross the river together.
    2. Problem solved.

    The solution might change if additional rules or items are introduced. If there are no additional constraints, the simplest method is just for the man to take the goat across directly.

  • "The instrument Dr. Watts used looked like a butter knife. He swung it up and down to cut brain tissue. "We put an instrument inside", he said. As Dr. Watts cut, Dr. Freeman asked Rosemary, for example, to recite the Lord's Prayer or sing "God Bless America" or count backwards;... "We tried to estimate thus, how far to further cut, based on how Rosemary responded." When she became incoherent, they ceased cutting."

    Holy fuck

  • What are you talking about? There's already ads everywhere and there has been since the beginning of the industrial revolution.

  • I was surprised by how many of my friends were using both when I first installed it. Just try it out.

  • Yeah, I think there was a documentary on that, something called "Iron Sky", I think

  • Perhaps we mean different things with "decentralized". What I meant was that it's a bad idea to outsource all your manufacturing to the part of the world where its cheaper. Keep some steel mills, auto plants and chip foundries near where they're consumed. Food production is actually a good example of decentralized manufacturing. I buy mostly locally grown produce, I can literally take a walk and see the wheat which will someday be the bread I eat.

  • First part: looks like that was a mistake. Decentralized manufacturing has always been the future, though.

    Second part: we overcame that, didn't we? That's why it's history and not currently happening like in China.

  • We don't use slave labor, maybe that's what we're "doing wrong".
