Comment Re:WIndows is useless (Score 1) 57

When I went to work for post-acquisition Tivoli (IBM) they issued everyone two PCs, for the most part a pair of PPro 180s, one running Windows 2000 and one with OS/2 so that you could use it to run ACME, a screen scraper GUI for RETAIN. You had to keep Windows so that you could run Notes, but if you just used a 3270 emulator and learned to use the application directly (which was often necessary since ACME updates would lag RETAIN) then you didn't need OS/2 any more. So yes I had to have Windows, but then I also had another machine on which I could run whatever I wanted.

The Windows machine came in handy for Diablo anyway.

If you are an expert on some topic and discuss it with the bot, you will quickly see that it falls short.
Yeah, I had a chat with Claude I think. About a toy language of mine, that incorporates pre and post conditions for method calls, like in Eiffel.
It was kind of confused weather you can harden the precondition or the postcondition.
After I pointed out he is wrong, he first quickly assured I am right, and surprisingly jumped back on trail and supported my correction, correctly.

Bottom line they are simply information retrieval and summary "agents", I guess when I pointed out he is wrong he was able to pull some external information, and just summarized it. (That was a research project, not an official Claude release)

We talked about Transformers.
The first movie.
Made for teens.

Advertized for adults.

I guess you got lost in the middle part where I mentioned, that I think this bullshit started with Transformes.

You probably only read a comment half and then jumped into this.

I never talked about "Super Girl" in this article.
