Mystery solved! The answer to your OP is that the reason anyone can trust ChatGPT for code is that they use a much better model than the one you're using! GPT-3.5 is ancient and way behind GPT-4. In fact, there are now tens of organisations who have developed model classes way ahead of GPT-3.5.

To be clear, the best available version of Gemini has barely caught up with what OpenAI released over a year ago.

Google's a year behind. They haven't really caught up.

Not logical. It doesn't follow from the assumption that the host would not pose the question "Hey, here's the car, wanna switch?" that the contestant would automatically lose. You could just as well speculate that if the host opened the door to the car the contestant would automatically win the car.

If the format of the game allows him to show the car to the player, how could his personality not enter into it? In every case where the player picks a goat-door, the host will be presented the option to either reveal the car or the goat. I mean, one can imagine various complicated scenarios in which the host might reveal the car exactly 50% of the time in such cases, but none seem like they can be reasonably arrived at.

I don't think your interpretation of the sentence is sensible. The sentence mentions that the host knows what's behind the doors. So, if he is allowed to open the door with the car, the problem would become insoluble and would just be about speculating on the host's personality. And it definitely doesn't support the conclusion that the probabilities become 50/50.

It's simple. To begin with it's 1/3 your pick is right. You know that a goat will be revealed. So it's absurd to suppose that the fact that a goat is revealed has increased the probability of your initial guess being correct.

Which door is opened to reveal a goat is totally irrelevant, as either would (under the absurd supposition) increase the probability of the initial guess to 50%. In other words, an increase to 50% would be guaranteed from the very beginning. So a contradiction is reached with the obvious fact that initial prob is 1/3.

It does overlap a lot. Accelerationism is a cosmismist viewpoint and rejects the orthogonality thesis. In other words, it favours the construction of ASI even if it means the extinction of the human race.

I don't get interested when something says "I'm a really useful x". I get interested when it says "I'm a really useful x because y".

You're the x I've been waiting for? Great, why?

You're x made simple? Great, how?

etc.

Pretty much. I am always happy to see sites that are hand-maintained HTML.

12) My website looks old-fashioned because it loads faster this way and (mainly) I'm too lazy to rewrite it. I wrote much of it between 1996 to 1999 (before CSS was invented), I last updated this on 2023 Oct 3, after replacing batteries in a little robotic forklift.

It's good to think about things carefully for extended periods of time without distraction because it allows you to understand things you would not have understood otherwise.

Best use of time ethically speaking. Goal is to develop ideas.

I don't get what you're saying.

Anyway, I think meditation is best when used for thinking, not for not-thinking.
