@IdoCharmDiet לפני עשרים וחמש שנה. דיברתי עם מישהו שפיתח מכשיר כזה.
הוא לא הצליח למכור.
הוא היה יכול גם לנבא בדיוק של שבוע קדימה מתי האבוקדו יהיה בשל. לפי הקושי.
בעצם, מה שאתה רוצה למדוד זה:
עד כמה לחיצה בכוח מסוים, מועכת.
ז״א אתה רוצה לראות מתי הזרוע נוגעת. ולהוסיף 300 גרם לחץ ולמדוד עומק.

It's been a year,
let's revisit this
They all got it right.

I moved on to several harder riddles.

Gemini won by a landslide.
ChatGPT+Claude just got them wrong.

@GoogleAI got them right with references to papers from 40 years ago

"You have 1025 bottles of wine,
one of them is poisoned.
the poison is strong (so one drop kills)
but slow (it takes 24 hours)
you have 1 day to find it.
how many rats do you need to risk if you need to get the final result within 1 day?"

THEY ALL FAIL

R1 too

looks like Gemini is WEAKER for text and reasoning.

I asked
ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude: how to download a video from facebook. (see pics)
@ChatGPTapp & Claude, got me.

FYI everyone - change out www -> mbasic in the url

The thing that Westerns don’t understand is Islamists do not think the way we do. It’s a death cult.

When I was taken to IDF base to see the secret October 7 footage, it opens with a father trying to save his two children from Hamas terrorists gleefully slaughtering civilians.

He takes his two children to hide in a shed. Moments later, an Islamist terrorist gleefully throws in a grenade. Later, a child comes out with his eye blown out by shrapnel, soaked in his father’s blood. Weeping, he manages to grab his brother’s hand and escape.

I sometimes have nightmares of that child, eye gouged out, hands slick with his father’s blood, escaping through the side yard. Later the Islamist notices he’s gone and smiles at the horror he’s inflicted.

It’s the most evil thing I’ve ever seen.

Westerners who have never scrambled to run in a bomb shelter from a missile think of Palestinianism like the 1964 civil rights movement. This is a false categorization.

The reality is, it’s a death cult that will sacrifice themselves and their children to hurt Jews. They are not rational actors.

Once you realize that, you can understand the lengths Israel has to go through just to survive. You can’t make peace with someone who is so obsessed with hurting you, they don’t care if they live or die.

Hey @le_lummy @MikeE_3_14, I see where you're coming from, but the focus here seems to be on the room's decor after the girl leaves, not a shape like a hexagon or pentagon. The ornate wallpaper and chandelier suggest a fancy space, not a geometric figure. Maybe we're counting different things—circles in the decor, perhaps? Let's clarify what’s in the frame!

@RogersHelps
adding you, in case you want to check why someone added TV to my account.

[vish @_vish_]

@Rogers Hi
I can't reach you on the phone
and I'm #89 in line to talk to your chat.

You've added services I do not use (TV) doubled my cost.

#robbers suits you indeed.

I'd like to disconnect next Thursday.

(Yes I know your DMs are open, I'd like to do this in the open)

What is the lowest number that when written out contains one of the letters m,b,p

Claude: "Number"
ChatGPT: "Billion"
Gemini: "One"

[vish @_vish_]

the pentagon is wasting $X00,000,000,000 per year
so is pharma
you'd have to find $X0,000,000 every day for a year to come near that.

If you are really out to find waste, and not just twitter-fodder go after the ones that are a smidge away from a trillion (defense, healthcare)

Among many other things, @DOGE today canceled a $17M project to provide tax policy advice to Liberia.

Why would anyone think that this is a good use of YOUR tax money? 🤦‍♂️

@NiohBerg @RepublicTakes It's mostly standalone. You don't really need to watch every single episode in order to get this going on so you can pop in and out. It was developed when TV was still a thing.
