36.1% pass would be worrying if this was a qualification test of things it needs to be able to do. It's not. This is a benchmark, and it SHOULD have a low pass rate. That's how you know if you're making improvements.

We could quite easily create a different benchmark where it passes 99.9%. That wouldn't mean the device being tested is good. It would just mean we have a useless benchmark.

I have no opinion on whether AI is good or bad for this use case. I just hate when statistics are used to mislead people.

What script blocker do you use?

Claim: "The alloy at the center of the Gateway controversy is Aluminum-Lithium 2195"

True: 2195 is sometimes used in space hardware.

WTF: A web search ("habitation and logistics outpost" "2195") turns up nothing.

Claim: "Exposure to salty, humid sea air is a worst-case scenario for this alloy."

True: Salt spray induces corrosion in many metals, aluminum alloys included. 2195 has poor corrosion resistance.

WTF:

* It's not like they left this thing sitting out on deck while crossing the ocean.
* Here's a picture of it being wrapped in plastic for shipping.
* Also from that article: "Preliminary findings indicate that the issue likely results from a combination of factors, including aspects of the forging process, surface treatment, and material properties."

Conclusion: Your LLM is just making shit up.

It won't free space, but It removes the icons, it won't run in the background, etc.

Cold-start takes forever, but once running, nuclear plants can load follow, adjusting output by several percent per minute. Generally they don't only for economic reasons: it makes more sense to throttle back everything else instead. However, if you run out of other things to shut down, nuke plants can load-follow just fine. France does this all the time.

Batteries are still useful in a bunch of ways, but you don't need nearly as many for a mostly-nuke grid as an mostly-renewables grid.

They do not. If the grid can't accept the power, they just open the bypass valves and waste the extra heat while the reactor throttles down.

The real estate agent is happy to have a busy open house. Everyone else suffers from wasted time, inefficient markets, and occasionally being suckered into a bad deal.

Okay, sure, it'll draft some text in minutes. You then have to review it in detail to see if it's actually what you intended, which takes at least an order of magnitude longer. You then have to validate if the idea you came up with in seconds or minutes is actually a good idea. Have you thought about second order effects? Have you considered alternatives? Have other people reviewed the ideas? Are you going to get buy-in from everyone else involved?

If you're not doing those things, then you're just generating low-quality slop which wastes other people's time, or worse, gets rubber stamped and creates a real mess. Just slopping out more regulations faster is not a good goal.

If you DO do those things, then the LLM has helped you shave some time off of a small portion of a much larger process. It's a useful tool for that, but let's be realistic about what the actual gains are.

You deleted the punctuation but to do it right you need to let all the ideas flow together in a run on stream of consciousness so there is no way to split the ideas apart even when reading it three times as you try to make sense of a meandering paragraph long sentence which is grammatically valid aside from some missing commas to give you a clue where the individual chunks of information are in the unorganized soup of thoughts which might even have a rational point and a period at the end.

"These people" are just anyone on a bad day. People make random mistakes when they do anything enough times.

I've had it happen. I was sitting weird and my foot just missed. You do these motions millions of times without thinking about it, so in that one-in-a-million case where something doesn't line up right, you get a very disorienting "why won't it slow down" feeling, and it's easy to panic. Your muscle memory instinctively pushes the "brake" harder to compensate, but it's actually the accelerator. It takes a moment for your brain to diagnose the situation and correct.

No harm done in my case: average car, open road, healthy and alert so I figured it out within a second. If I was in a Tesla Plaid, in a congested area, tired and distracted, I would have put it through a store window.

It was an eye-opening experience.

It wasn't terrible. I miss getting together with a few like-minded people who were excited to see a show together and discuss it afterward every week.

I did some napkin math. You can fit about 40,000 shirts in a 40-foot container. It costs about $8000 to send that container from a china factory to a USA warehouse. Total about $0.20 per shirt. It's still cheap, but more than the rounding error you suggest.

The possibility that one monopoly may eventually be replaced with another one isn't enough to prevent the abuse. We need actual competition between contemporary companies. I don't want to be stuck taking a bad deal, hoping that maybe a better monopoly will come along next decade.
