No, I'm not. I'm actually (slightly) strengthening the claim.
Originally I considered that he was the (nominal) head of state was significant. I removed that requirement, which makes the claim stronger. I will say that removing the head of state, whether or not valid, is a more extreme action, but even removing a resident by force is not legally justifiable.

The LLM's that ChatGPT and Perplexity use were trained on data that's at least a few weeks old before a new model is released to the public.

It's not really meant to tell you about today's headlines.

Sure, but Claude, at least, knows that its knowledge cutoff date is January 2025. It's sometimes lazy and will tell you that current events precede its knowledge, but if you tell it to do a search, it will, and then it will accurately describe what it found. Other times it just automatically searches when it realizes you're asking about something that is too recent to be included in its training data.

It seems strange that other LLMs that have the ability to search the web don't do the same.

Comment Re:I've always struggled reading analogue clocks (Score 1) 234

Calculation are done with a different system, a slower system, than is normal time recognition on an analog clock.

FWIW, I have no trouble reading an analog clock, but I strongly dislike using polar coordinates, even while I recognize that in some situations they are valuable. They aren't the same skill.

Even if it's explicitly taught, if it isn't used it will be forgotten...unless the teaching is continued for a long time.

E,g,, at one point I could read German with fair fluency. (Not good, but fair. It never became enjoyable.) These days, I could barely say "That is the oldest car around here.". And I couldn't spell it.

Comment Re: NAT killed IPv6 (Score 1) 225

Excuse me, but how does it work in practice? I have currently optic fiber connection going to ISP-provided router - Sagemcom F@st 5670 (Crap. I know.). The ISP will not accept replacing that with a different device (GPON ONT). The device does have a web interface for some basic management, but I can't really inspect the network traffic there. The previous ISP it was the same just different device - Huawei EchoLife HG8245H. The previous ISP was on ADSL with of-the-shelf SOHO router such as D-link Dir-615. In all cases I assume that the device gets on the WAN interface a public (or CGNAT IP) address assigned by ISP and will accept only packets with destination IP address matching that WAN interface IP address. Are you saying that it is not the case and there are routers (provided by ISPs), that will accept packets coming to WAN interface and not having packet destination IP address matching the WAN interface IP address? I find that hard to believe unless we talk about some small community ISP run by amateurs.
