They are large LANGUAGE models. It's no surprise that they can't solve those mathematical problems in the study. They are trained for text production. We already knew that they were no good in counting things.

I've always found it counterintuitive to use any kind of plastic for cooking. I don't trust these silicone baking molds either. And: plastic containers don't belong in the microwave.

Always stick to wood, metal and glass/ceramics in the kitchen!

They're really working on making World War III attractive. That's not a joke. They long for war.

Been to Japan lately and can share some photos. There are even Kei Fire Trucks, for the many small roads with wooden houses and shrines etc.

And then there are hundreds of different kei truck and van types for all purposes, even concrete mixers.

Also, private houses in cities are often small and space-saving and so are the cars. A sensible use of public space – and cars only park on private property or rented parking spaces.

#Theme:

Show us the forest as we have never seen it before. This could be, for example, small details that the unwary walker misses. Or of secluded forest dwellers that no one has ever seen before. Incredibly magnificent plant and fungi wonders. Or fantasy scenes of magical beauty and wildness and secrets that take place in the forest and that are only revealed to those who are in the right place at the right time.

No modern technology, no weapons/battles, no memes.

#Rules:

  1. Follow the community’s rules above all else
  2. One comment and image per user
  3. Embed image directly in the post (no external link)
  4. Workflow/Prompt sharing encouraged (we’re all here for fun and learning)

Completely stopped using Reddit since they blocked third party apps in July 2023. I never accessed Reddit through other channels than smartphone.

Same goes for kitchens. Give me real buttons and knobs and not these abhorrent touch panels that refuse to work every third time. A good quality kitchen appliance is identified by high quality knobs that last for decades.

It's not their printers which are hated, it's their business model of selling overpriced ink and toner cartridges to a price that's higher than champagne prices and using technical devices to make it impossible to use other toner sources, firmware to make printers stop working when ink runs anywhere near low (they define 'low' as 33% ink left), while at the same time ensuring that as much ink and toner as possible are wasted through unnecessary testing and calibration and cleaning processes.
