My point was that a coffee machine is designed to make coffee, not to keep track of time. Maybe it always takes roughly the same amount of time to make a coffee, and so someone uses it as a proxy stopwatch. But it can very well suddenly take more or less time, without anything being wrong about it – maybe different coffee brands, cleaned pipes, or whatnot.
ChatGPT is an algorithm designed to parrot language, not to perform mathematical reasoning based on logic rules.
Any particular reason why this post is duplicated?
For me it’s like using a coffee machine as a stopwatch, and then complaining that it doesn’t always give the exact time lapsed.
What I don't understand is where you found the magnitude of 0.1 Gyr. According to Weinberg (§1.8), for instance, our galaxy only is around 13 Gyr. As Harrison reports (Table 5.3), the Earth alone is around 5 Gyr, and the universe from 10 to 20 Gyr. Maybe it was a typo in your comment?
Great recommendations about books, thank you. As a physicist I take Wikipedia with more than a pinch – say several kg – of salt, because it frequently contains incorrect or outdated things, anyone can write whatever they please there, and there's nobody behind it that you can write to asking for clarification or where they got their statements from...
The number of people protesting against them in their "Issues" page is amazing. The devs have now blocked the creation of new issue tickets or of comments in existing ones.
It's funny how in the "explainer" they present this as something done for the "user", when it's clearly not developed for the "user". I wouldn't accept something like this even if it was developed by some government – even less by Google.
I have just reported their repository to GitHub as malware, as an act of protest, since they closed the possibility of submitting issues or commenting.
Sounds like the kind I'd like to read too, thank you!
I've reliably used Torguard for at least 15 years. They have clients for many Linux distros, including Arch.
For me it's like using a coffee machine to measure a time lapse, and then complaining that it doesn't always yield the same time lapse.
Feel free to give more references about these points, I'm always happy to read more.
