You comment just brings attention to the fact that you didn't even look at the signature in the picture and look up the artist.

I'm from Europe and I always assumed that America does that, because it's the cheapest option by far.

To be fair the Turing test is a moving goal post, because if you know that such systems exist you'd probe them differently. I'm pretty sure that even the first public GPT release would have fooled Alan Turing personally, so I think it's fair to say that this systems passed the test at least since that point.

Also not paying for LibreOffice, Linux and Gimp.

That's not how it works. Your body can't detect a lack of oxygen but only build up of CO2. If you replace the air you breath with pure Helium, N2, CO, etc. you will just painlessly black out and die.

In the blog post there are even more. Texas Instruments, HP and Canon also have calculators, and some of them show 9 and some 1.

👍 That was actually one of the reasons why I wrote this blog post. I wanted to compile a list of points that show as clear as humanity possible that there is no consensus here, even amongst experts.

That probably won't convince everybody but if that won't probably nothing will.

You should read the part about WolframAlpha in the blog.

It's actually "both". There are two conventions. One is a bit more popular in science and engineering and the other one in the general population. It's actually even more complicated than that (thus the long blog post) but the most correct answer would be to point out that the implicit multiplication after the division is ambiguous. So it's not really "solvable" in that form without context.

It's probably not, and now?

And those who understand that this joke works in any base.

So now you are trying to use the Tanner scale to determine if somebody is an adult? There is no strawman here, you are writing those ridiculous comments yourself.
