Thank you. That's definitely a valid point.

I'm not trying to argue that China's space program is safer than the USA's, nor is the risk of their missions comparable to those the USA has undertaken. I'm saying they haven't lost anyone in space or on the ground, whereas the USA has.

Here are some updated numbers, after refining my search-phrases:

- China has a total of 41 person-flights into space, by about 30 taikonauts.
- the USA has a total of 914 person-flights into space, by 372 astronauts.

Now, instead of rhetorically asking whether you "have to" list the reasons why my comparisons aren't "fair" (which I never claimed they were) kindly supply those reasons.

Not saying you're wrong, but note that China has lost zero taikonauts out of a total of 46 in 16 flights. Whereas the USA has lost 17 astronauts out of a total of 400 (Challenger and Columbia flights, and Apollo 1 ground-test.)

I'm amazed that I need to point this out to you, but once you marry, you're no longer a bachelor.

In short, you can't be married and a bachelor at the same time. And an LLM would say so. That was the point.

That's the icon for Twitter (now X.)

You're thinking of this icon.

Both Truth Social and Bluesky have "community guidelines" that prohibit speech about violence, unlawful activity, and other things. There are some differences, but the point is that both platforms have rules about what you can and can't say.

However, Truth Social has a centralized enforcement structure run by the company, whereas Bluesky has a decentralized moderation structure administered by the individual users and third-party agents.

In short, users on Bluesky could be "dogpiled" and made to feel unwelcome, but their accounts aren't removed. (If you want an example of that kind of treatment, look at Slashdot.) Whereas the company administering Truth Social removes accounts and bans users who say things about Trump they don't like.

I would think LLMs can tell when instructions don't make sense. Conflicting instructions are an example.

Try asking an LLM "how do I become a married bachelor" and see what happens.

You mean HAL 9000.

There are no images at all in the original paper. Haven't read it yet.

This point is valid. It did not deserve a Troll mod.

The OP xack is way over his skis when he says "Anything that isn't already open source can have an AI replacement coded in hours now." Many things maybe. But not anything.

There are may commercial companies that sell support for PostgreSQL, and will take the bullet when a problem occurs. But I think Random361's question was about technical capability, not support.

Oracle's average daily trading volume from June 1 to July 28 was between 27 and 36 million shares per day. That's actual money changing hands. Some of it may have just flown back-and-forth between buying and selling the stock, but that money didn't just disappear. It did exist, and still does, for those who sold their shares and haven't bought anything else with the proceeds.

When you trade shares, you don't experience a profit or loss until you close your position. Losing money on a trade doesn't mean your money "disappeared." It just means somebody else got it.

Thanks for reading the article.

What I got from it (among other things) was that Cambridge did not consider DEI to be any kind of priority. So, it doesn't appear that it figured in hiring Jason Arday. They didn't hire him in spite of his alleged plagiarism, they were just unaware of it.

If you think it matters, then submit a story.

"Stuff that matters" is also part of the Slashdot ethos. And this stuff matters to many of the slashdotters who hang out here.
