There is something ironic about a Sci-Fi magazine rejecting a new technology.

I would prefer they simply chose the stories that are good. Be it human, AI assisted or purely AI written.

For now, human curation is still necessary - on the author and the publisher side, for good results.

With the next AI versions , it will probably be impossible to tell anyway.

I'm not impressed by my toaster's computational capacity, either.

ChatGPT isn't meant to replace search by itself. https://help.openai.com/en/articles/6783457-chatgpt-general-faq

> ChatGPT is not connected to the internet, and it can occasionally produce incorrect answers. It has limited knowledge of world and events after 2021 and may also occasionally produce harmful instructions or biased content.

Using a magic language model like this together with a search index, though, has a lot of potential. Which is not so coincidentally exactly what the Bing thing is working towards.

Asking for someone to explain this stuff on reddit is almost impossible. This stuff is very hard to understand, even for those with advance degrees and years of schooling. This is the cutting edge of science that can't be summed up in a comment.

There's a famous saying that goes that if anyone says they know how this stuff works, they're lying.

I have a copy in my library, let me check.

Directions on Microsoft, by Redmond Communications June 1996.

ActiveX: Microsoft's Internet Client Development Strategy

It was highly controversial as it was hyper critical of the strategy. Basically, activeX was exposing raw C++ pointers to the internet (the basis of COM). My boss thought it would cause problems with Microsoft but it was the highest selling copy mostly to groups in microsoft.

Don't know if you can find that one... although the follow on on Microsoft's Java strategy the next month is also quite enlightening.

According to google, around 10% of the world population is affected by diabetes. Far more are in a state of undiagnosed prediabetes that can be managed and prevented better if warned earlier, such a product would be very desirable. But at the very least, 10% of the world's population is a good number of people to branch out an investment.

Also, diabetes is one of those diseases that people manage, not cure. It won't stop existing or will end anytime soon, actually it's even expected to increase over the years. You'll always have clients for such a product and they tend to increase, hence the "infinite wealth" (which is an obvious exaggeration and meant as a hugely profitable), especially if you own a patent and are the only one selling it.

Hello guys,

I've been using Accubattery for a while now and I've seen that it either doesn't count charging wattage correctly or the phone doesn't charge at the advertised wattage.

Please refer to the below images attached (the first one is from OnePlus 7T and the other two are from Pixel6A)

[OnePlus 7T charging status](https://i.imgur.com/FXKpx7D.jpg)

[Pixel6A slow charging at 2-5W ](https://i.imgur.com/Wwavdgw.png)

[Pixel6A charging at 12-15W](https://i.imgur.com/8NubikM.png)

The OnePlus 7T is advertised to support 30W dash charging through its official charger and the Pixel6A is advertised as up to 18W charging through supported chargers.

Both phones are official Indian models. I've used the supported Dash charger for OnePlus 7T and a 3rd party supported charger for the Pixel6A i.e. the [Napoleon 65W](https://www.stuffcool.com/collections/wall-chargers/products/stuffcool-napoleon-pd65w-dual-usb-gan-wall-charger-for-macbook-ultrabook-iphones-ipads-tablets-gaming-consoles). It used to have 2 USB type c ports when I purchased it a few months ago.

Any thoughts on this matter would greatly help.

I mean I know it doesn't happen a lot anymore, but user replaceable batteries aren't that old that we've forgotten it exists. Instead of making batteriess larger, make them a little smaller and add a slot replacement mechanism.

Then you could make a AirPods style charging case that you can slot discharged batteries into, and always have a fresh one charged to use when the watch dies.

It likely wouldn't take off for people that can take off their watch at the end of the day, but people that need it, or truly cant part with it for whatever other reason, it seems like it would be a decent tradeoff.

You are not alone. No one understands how it works.

We can observe it, calculate it, create experiments, but no idea how it works.

Other parts of physics that we do not understand, like dark matter, have many competing hypothesis. Entanglement is pretty lean on that front. Even though I am sure string theory had something about it, because it has something about everything.

It's just the way it is. Like the rest of quantum physics.
