I imagine if you were 13.6 km from a star you would either burn up or fall into the star's gravity well.

AI doesn't seem to be good at anything in which there is a right answer and a wrong answer. It works best for things where there are no right/wrong answers.

According to the website Space, the distance is 37.8 trillion km.

This is not correct, and is probably the result of rounding the light year distance to 4 ly before converting to km. The google answer is pretty close.

The correct answer is the distance to Alpha Centauri is 41.5 petameters (trillion km) and the distance to Proxima Centauri is 40.2 petameters.

AIs are definitely not "good enough" to give correct answers to science questions. I've seen lots of other incorrect answers before seeing this one. While it was easy to spot that this answer is incorrect, how many incorrect answers are not obvious?

It’s in the quote that they scaled it.

Yes but they supposedly scaled it to "one meter per meter". A "scale where the distance from the Sun to Earth is 150 million km" is the actual distance.

That's what I think too. AI is mainly useful for things that don't have right or wrong answers.

Although this incorrect answers is obvious, what about all the times where an incorrect answer from AI is not obvious?

I use to be able to ask google the distance in kilometers of anything in space and get an accurate answer. So I first asked this same question in google but it only gave the answer in light years for some reason. That's when I went to bing and got their ridiculous answer.

We have a distinct lack of skilled workers, and in a variety of types/areas.

No we do not. That's propaganda from the wealthy elites to drive down American wages. There are tons of people even in STEM or computer fields who can not get jobs in their majors.

This is exactly what happened during the days of “No Irish Need Apply”. The big difference here is that it would only apply to college graduates.

It's totally different. The "No Irish" signs were about people who had already immigrated here. That stuff was both racist and completely pointless since they were all already here and obviously needed to work. Nothing to do with today. Trump's going to hand out green cards to the entire world to come here and work an American job. China alone has 1.2 billion people. India alone has 1.4 billion people. Basic law of supply and demand. Increase supply of workers and lower wages and working conditions and worker bargaining power. Also, good luck getting your kid into college ever again.

Geez even with decentralization we still have people making bone headed decisions. What is the best/strongest politics group that is not lemmy.ml nor lemmy.world?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Geez I can't believe a major group was nuked just like that. I never noticed anything about it being unmoderated but thank you for providing the explanation.

This suddenly does not work

edit:

It looks like the problem is on lemmy.ml, not lemmy.world

https://lemmy.ml/c/politics

Does not work either.

The younger you are, the more likely you will be screwed by Traitorapist Trump on:

The Neofascist threat to America and democracy and the rule of law.

The younger you are, the more likely you will be screwed by Traitorapist Trump on:

Nuclear Proliferation resulting from Treason Trump's New World Disorder. Every country and their brother is going to scramble for nuclear weapons now.

The younger you are, the more likely you will be screwed by Traitorapist Trump on:

Climate Chaos. NASA says this causes increased hurricanes, droughts, floods, wildfires, heat waves, and rising sea levels. All of which cause economic hardships and death.

The younger you are, the more likely you will be screwed by Traitorapist Trump on:

The Corrupt Supreme Court enshitifying our country by inserting radical changes in the constitution.

The younger you are, the more likely you will be screwed by Traitorapist Trump on:

Increased National Debt caused by gigantic GOP tax cuts for the wealthy

The younger you are, the more likely you will be screwed by Traitorapist Trump on:

Abortion bans. This has been killing women who didn't even want abortions by denying them appropriate medical care

The younger you are, the more likely you will be screwed by Traitorapist Trump on:

Income inequality. We are caught in a vicious circle where gigantic GOP tax cuts for the wealthy give them more money to enshitify the country which results is more gigantic GOP tax cuts for the wealthy. Rent seekers always pull up the ladder for those coming up behind them.

The younger you are, the more likely you will be screwed by Traitorapist Trump on:

Trump's promise to billionaires to drive down wages by giving away unlimited green cards to foreign workers who graduate from American colleges.

It's not that Linux can't have security problems. I still remember the very first internet virus in 1987 that traveled thru Unix machines. But Windows is the worst OS for critical systems precisely because it is the most common OS. Anything is better than windows. Linux, MacOS, or even an old IBM mainframe OS and those awful tn3270 terminals. Also, Chrome OS in particular has VMs instead of other VMs. It really is designed to be much more secure than Windows.

It’s more like a bug in critical software that just happens to be security related.

And so the cure is the same as the disease. Or actually worse in this case. The very fact that systems were constantly updated was itself the problem rather than the solution to the problem. How did nobody realize this was going to happen sooner or later?

Linux had also been affected by Crowdstrike before.

I'm guessing Crowdstrike issues a lot more Windows updates than Linux updates?
