Hello from the Philippines
INTROWelcome, Margaux! One of the big problems I think someone from the Philippines could solve is to create an alternative to BPO's. There are so many smart, capable workers in the Philippines who are basically forced to become mindless script-followers by their BPO. If someone could do this...- Bekit

Favourite piano brand?
OFF-TOPICAwesome. I would say I am going to have to try that, but I fear my mind is no longer agile enough to pull it off. I play the piano (and that piece!) but it has been years since I practiced, so I am super rusty. A year or two ago, I sat down to learn a new Bach invention (WITH the score) with...- Bekit

HOT! CHATIt's hard to think what else it could have been. For context, this was the first time since 9/11 that flights were grounded to a similar extent. The cause was a NOTAM outage. NOTAM is "Notice to Air Missions." Basically, it's an alert that says, "There's a hazard. Something is abnormal." So...- Bekit

What to eat if you can't cook/fry/boil anything?
HEALTHI'm going to assume that your family is super toxic, to the point where it's a bigger monster than you can slay with the typical approach of setting boundaries and saying no. I'm going to assume that even a small win in being able to cook will make a big difference for you. So let's look at...- Bekit

HOT! CHATI buy a lot of eggs. In 2020, I used to buy a box of 15 dozen eggs at a time from Costco for around $18. This worked out to around $1.20 a dozen. At some point last year, eggs started getting WAAAAAY more expensive. Costco stopped carrying the 15-dozen box. They would have a 2-dozen carton...- Bekit

Favourite piano brand?
OFF-TOPICOk my mind is blown at this. So just from looking at the sheet music alone, you memorized the piece. Then you played it for the first time. From memory. Am I understanding that right? :jawdrop: I'm just trying to wrap my mind around this. In general, when you play pieces from memory...- Bekit

HOT! CHATThat answers my question then. Sad, especially considering how many people genuinely do not know how to do math (and thus would have no option but to trust ChatGPT's answer). So basically if you're asking about a math problem, it's going to go down like this... User: "What is 2+2" ChatGPT...- Bekit

HOT! CHATNow I'm wondering if you had said, "No, isn't it 113, 385?" would it have caught that, or would it have acknowledged, "Oh, sorry, you're right, the total is $113,385"? I'm also wondering if it would be any different if you phrased it as a normal equation (e.g. "What is the sum of 20000 + 18334...- Bekit

ChatGPT AI is a huge breakthrough, a Google killer
- AI -Getting an "honest" answer from an AI... wouldn't that imply that it has "honest" data to pull from? How would the AI have a chance to spit out anything other than the "prevailing narrative?" Basically, it seems that AI by definition is only capable of being as honest as society already is (or...- Bekit

HOT! CHATI think it would be more likely to look something like this: Your 4x4x4 foot space is one pallet-sized "cubby" in the shelving system. And when the forklift needs to retrieve your items, it can go directly to your cubby and access it without moving anything else around, no matter if it's on...- Bekit

HOT! CHATYeah, 100%. Being "all in" versus "waffling." I liked how it drew the connection later to the calmness and mental stability of those who did reach the outside of the boat. I also thought this quote was particularly salient: The simple decision of building a stairway that was rotated 90...- Bekit

Why Quiet Quitting Is Holding You Back in Life
GOLD! MINDSETTo me that just says, "I don't sweat the small stuff and I don't like to be wasteful when the "perfect" version wouldn't really matter." Does that describe "how you do everything"? If so, the saying holds true.- Bekit

Why Quiet Quitting Is Holding You Back in Life
GOLD! MINDSETOne thing that I think is worth adding to the discussion: What choices do you have as a worker (besides quiet quitting) when your working conditions are terrible? Here's an example. My sister is a dental hygienist. She is an incredibly faithful, diligent, high-caliber worker. No matter...- Bekit
