So far the biggest benefit of ChatGPT and Bard: asking it complex questions and asking for the answers to be broken down into parts.

You learn what the parts are of a complex system.

Then I ask for examples of those parts.

Then I ask how I should assess those parts.

Then I ask for a rank order of the examples based on how I value certain parts.

In a couple of hours I defined a viable architecture for purpose-built AI chatbot. I started off knowing nothing.

My latest discussion with Google's Bard:
"Yes, it is possible that the label "life" is too ambiguous to be used for legal guidance. The definition of "life" is complex and evolving, and there is no single definition that everyone agrees on. This could make it difficult to use the label "life" in legal documents, as it could be open to interpretation."

This is Google's public AI.

Brace yourself.

It's going to know when you scratch your nether regions.

Or, it will tell you that you should because it itches.

I'm using Google Bard.

"When I start a new session on a new day, will you remember what we discussed in the past?"

Yes, I will remember what we discussed in the past. I am trained to remember information that is provided to me. I can also use my knowledge of the world to infer information that you do not directly provide. For example, if you tell me that you are interested in a particular topic, I will remember that and be able to provide you with more information about it in the future.

This happened today on one of the most trafficked bridge west of the Mississippi:

4PM today: ALERTSF: Big Rig Rollever on Bay Bridge EB before Treasure Island

9:50 PM today: ALERTSF: Big Rig Rollever on Bay Bridge EB before Treasure Island has been RESOLVED.

At 13,000 ft the storm looks a bit different. I wouldn't want to by flying west from Texas right now.

We have our own little hurricane!

Yes, Santa Cruz is getting hit hard.
This is the total precipitation map.
Hang on @Museek !!

ATTN: Due to multiple incidents #SFMuni routes across the city are experiencing service impacts. Svc to/from the downtown area is being severely impacted by the overturned big rig on the EB Bay Bridge. Expect longer wait times.

Took a walk to inspect the damage from this afternoon's storm in San Francisco. Three big trees toppled in our local park.

It was a frickin' mini hurricane!

Bard and ChatGPT suck at math.
I mean, really bad.
Don't trust ANY calculation. Transfer them to Excel before believing the results.

ALERTSF: Extreme wind has caused major traffic and transit delays. Use caution while driving and prepare for power outages. www.S... https://evb.gg/n#kogjjtqey3

Just in:
- Ferry services have been suspended due to severe weather
- Avoid the area of EB Lombard St at Gough St due to An obstruction
- Big Rig Rollover on Bay Bridge EB before Treasure Island

Geez! San Francisco is sending out a bunch of alerts about obstructions blocking roads. I've never seen this many happen in such a short time.

Holy crap, is San Francisco getting hit by a rain and wind storm right now.
Water was shooting under a closed window and made a puddle on my dining room floor.
Not a good situation when trying to paint said dining room.

This is a hard-to-swallow indictment of a powerful editor and a take-no-prisoners publication (Rolling Stone).

The journalist tried to maintain the integrity of the story, but the editor omitted key facts because the story was about his friend.

Ultimately, the subject of the FBI raid, a journalist, was targeted because of child abuse and not because of his reporting.

When the cats away
The mice will play?

Well, the wife just left for a 2 week business trip and this mouse is working his ass off getting the house painted before she returns.

I'm exhausted!

1 cubic meter of air, at sea level, at 100% humidity, at room temperature has 0.088 cups of water

I've just calculated that polished copper can condense water vapor at a rate 17X that of water itself.

So, if a cool, dry, polished copper surface was exposed to air with adequate humidity, it would begin condensing water.

If it was then wiped away and collected, it would continue attracting water at 17X the rate of the wet copper.

If true, that system could be a highly efficient source of water.

Today's condenser systems have the water dripping off, keeping the condenser always wet.
