Hand written assembly is much more powerful than a turing-complete high level language because it lets you fuck up everything. Rust and python are way too wimpy to allow a user to destroy their computer.

So you made a meme about how your opponent is completely irrational and you are a paragon of logic and reason, and then proceeded to declare yourself the winner?

This happens to everyone. It happens because your brain registers the other person saying something before it actually understands what is being said. And when most people don't know what someone said, they ask, "what?" without even thinking. Source: my intro to psych textbook.

Can't find the exact source–I'm on mobile right now–but the code for the gpt-2 encoder uses a utf-8 to unicode look up table to shrink the vocab size. https://github.com/openai/gpt-2/blob/master/src/encoder.py

This might be happening because of the 'elegant' (incredibly hacky) way openai encodes multiple languages into their models. Instead of using all character sets, they use a modulo operator on each character, to make all Unicode characters represented by a small range of values. On the back end, it somehow detects which language is being spoken, and uses that character set for the response. Seeing as the last line seems to be the same mathematical expression as what you asked, my guess is that your equation just happened to perfectly match some sentence that would make sense in the weird language.

I think one could argue that fantasy isn't based on the reality of the medieval ages, but on the collective beliefs and myths of that era.

As a side effect, though, the countryside would probably be filled with giant snails that you'd have to fight.

Rust is the WORST programming "language."

  1. it is against the natural order for a PROGRAM to tell the PROGRAMMER how to fix an error. Fixes should ONLY come from PROPHETIC DREAMS.
  2. obfuscation should be done for FUN by PROGRAMMERS to SCARE python programmers. It should NOT be a MANDATORY feature of a language.
  3. Memory leaks are a GIFT given to us by GOD. Programmers will ALWAYS PRAY TO GOD for SOLUTIONS as long as there are MEMORY LEAKS.

When playing overly smart characters I tend go less for loquaciousness and more for confusing amounts of double entendré. Like how a temple might be incensed if I gave them the wrong perfume.

Yes. Any turing complete processor can perfectly emulate any other turing complete processor, whether it is x86, arm, or riscv. Mainline Linux can then run on this emulated processor without modification.

People keep answering this in the most boring way. Here's a slightly less boring answer:

Wait for nightfall

Sneak up to the dino

Stab it in the eye

Run into hut

The T-Rex won't be able to remove the knife, so it will become infected and eventually kill it.

What AI did you use to generate this?

The big issue I have with brain chips is longevity. How long until the electrodes degrade? When will the chips fail? Once they fail, will it be fail safe or fail deadly? Also, what will be the power source? Will it use inductive power, or battery power? They are both awful options. What if the chip overheats? The implementation is the real question here, but neuralink refuse to give any answers because it proprietary.
