OP is talking about booking flights where you can choose between nonstop or layovers. If it's not possible to get a nonstop, then it's just as bad for comparison as if it's not possible to get a layover.

Same thing happened with companies that used outsourcing expecting it to be a magic bullet.

Yeah, we need more info to understand the results of this experiment.

We need to know what exactly were these tasks that they claim were validated by experts. Because like you're saying, the tasks I saw were not what I was expecting.

We need to know how the LLMs were set up. If you tell it to act like a chat bot and then you give it a task, it will have poorer results than if you set it up specifically to perform these sorts of tasks.

We need to see the actual prompts given to the LLMs. It may be that you simply need an expert to write prompts in order to get much better results. While that would be disappointing today, it's not all that different from how people needed to learn to use search engines.

We need to see the failure rate of humans performing the same tasks.

Don't conflate promiscuity with homosexuality. There are plenty of gay people who are monogamous and who are no more likely to spread disease than anybody else. And there are plenty of promiscuous heterosexual people who are spreading diseases.

Also, you shouldn't apologize for this bigotry by saying it's subconscious. This is learned behavior.

Yes, but based on the pattern they almost certainly guessed it when there was only one unknown letter.

It's always important in science to do the experiment or study, even if you're pretty sure you already know the answer.

Sometimes, the result will be surprisingly counter-intuitive. And other times, like in this study, it confirms what seems blatantly obvious.

What could it possibly mean when a man who identifies as heterosexual feels threatened by the mere existence of homosexual men? What could it mean???

spoilerI don't think STILE is a common enough word to be the answer.

another close call. sometimes i think that i should stop messing around, but where's the fun in that?

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. Wikipedia calls a square a "regular quadrilateral," which seems like a decent enough definition.

Today I learned that when you make up your own inadequate definition, then it's easy to match the definition with something inadequate.

The article was from four days ago, if anyone is wondering why she's speaking out against a bill that has already passed Congress.

During childhood development, we only get one chance to make sure their brains get proper nutrition.

If you create more hungry children now, it's something that you cannot fix in the future. The children you harm with this will live diminished lives, assuming they survive.

Improving nutrition for children is one of the best selling points for social programs.

Today I am irritated at PlusWord from the Telegraph for changing from free to subscription-only. I was irritated at them yesterday, too, but I'm still irritated at them today.

This isn't too different from a pebble-bed reactor.
