Kids who use ChatGPT as a study assistant do worse on tests
  • Not everyone can afford a tutor or knows where to find an expert that can answer questions in any given domain. I think such a tool would have made understanding a lot of my college courses a lot easier.

  • The title is pretty misleading. Kids who used ChatGPT to get hints/explanations rather than outright getting the answers did as well as those who had no access to ChatGPT. They probably had a much easier time studying/understanding with it so it's a win for LLMs as a teaching tool imo.

    Logitech has ‘no plans’ for a subscription mouse
  • I'm still replacing switches on my stupid Logitech MX (faulty design that's been going for many years) but once it's dead for good I will switch over to the Ploopy thumb trackball in a heartbeat.

  • I can still run Blade Runner which came out in 1997 using Wine, things don't die off that easily when they are not broken on purpose.

    VM suggestion for gaming?
  • *except games that don't run on proton/wine. I don't have a Windows installation and I never have to worry about a game not running out of the box on Linux anymore.

  • That's not how it works anywhere I've heard of (and I've lived in the USA and Europe and worked in an American grocery store). Maybe if it's a refrigerated product in the US (or vandalized somehow), but that's not the case with dates.

    ‘Enshittification’ is coming for absolutely everything
  • It's pretty much never advantageous having Windows to run AI stuff, it runs like dog shit and the drivers are not prioritized because no one does serious AI research using Windows.

    ‘Enshittification’ is coming for absolutely everything
  • I don't understand your question. GPT is proprietary and hosted by OpenAI. There are other large language models (LLM) that one can download (or even train if they are open-source or at least have a descriptive scientific paper and open training data) and host themselves, but they are not as powerful.

    ‘Enshittification’ is coming for absolutely everything
  • There are open models that one can download on HuggingFace and run locally, but they are not as good as ChatGPT4 which has had insane(r) amounts of resources thrown at.
