My headcannon for this is that spaceships in that universe are to those people what cars are to us. If you know the basics of driving a car, you can drive most cars, though the bigger ships might get more complicated (I’ve never seen one of our heroes try to back up a star destroyer into a starbase to help with their buddy’s move.)
Yeah, but no one can escape the gravitational field of your mom.
(Sorry, couldn’t resist, as I half expected your comment to end with a “your mom” joke)
I’d hate to be the person talking to the crew right now…
All those squeaky voices will quickly get extremely irritating.
It’s not density, it’s mass. A mass of 1kg compressed to the density of the Sun’s core would pull the Earth with just as much force as a 1kg ball of styrofoam.
You can do that today. Just ask Chat-GPT to write you a bash script for something non-obvious, and then debug what it gives you.
I only take medicine when the symptoms literally prevent me from functioning or threaten my life. With fever, I actually wrap myself up to keep warm, which lets my body “rest” instead of working to raise my temperature. This approach appears to have helped me get through many infections quickly, though I admit this is anecdotal.
Daylight come and me want go home.
Give peas a chance!
You mean, they became extinct?
Autocorrect?
If you use it before it has learned you writing idiosyncrasies?
On my Pixel 1, I wasn’t careful about the battery, regularly draining it fully and then charging it to 100% (and leaving it on the charger for extended periods) and after 18 months, I was already looking into getting the battery replaced due to greatly reduced capacity.
At a friend’s suggestion, I installed Accubattery which alerts me whenever the battery is about to go outside the 20-80% window. I almost always unplug from the charger when I get to 80%. That second battery on the Pixel 1 kept most of its capacity for 4 years. Now my mom has that phone, with the same battery, and even though the capacity went down a bit since, it’s more than enough for her needs still.
In a 5e campaign where I played a halfling Warlock, and found that Fireball isn’t on the basic Warlock spell list, I convinced my DM to allow me to create a Fireball-like spell, since at that point I didn’t have a lot of choices for AoE attack spells, and my party-mates could all do more single-target damage than I could.
Since the 5e go-to attack cantrip for Warlocks is Eldritch Blast, I figured I might as well learn into it and called it Eldritch Boom. The effect is similar to a sonic boom. Instead of catching fire, creatures and objects in the AoE that fail their save are knocked over (creatures are knocked prone). For the damage, I conceded that I couldn’t just copy Fireball, so instead of 8d6, I went for 6d8, but higher level slots add 1d8 per level.
The DM allowed it mainly because I was the main spellcaster. But later on, our party got a new addition: a pyromaniac sorcerer. Around that time, I switched to Blight as my go-to attack (when I didn’t just use Eldritch Blast).
Well, in that picture, I’d go with Lightning Bolt instead.
I don’t like the idea of restricting the model’s corpus further. Rather, I think it would be good if it used a bigger corpus, but added the date of origin for each element as further context.
Separately, I think it could be good to train another LLM to recognize biases in various content, and then use that to add further context for the main LLM when it ingests that content. I’m not sure how to avoid bias in that second LLM, though. Maybe complete lack of bias is an unattainable ideal that you can only approach without ever reaching it.
