  • Hmmm. NO.

    It’s often used by people that would like to keep order in their meetings.

    I have no doubt that the guy was 💯 % right in his position and paper. I also have no doubt that the board has a 💯 % interest in keeping their meeting on topic. He is more than welcome to bring the topic up during an open topic discussion and/or to pass his info out, outside of the confines of the building that the group rented.

    If I (Barney Rubble) want to call a meeting of the Water Buffalos and Joe Dirt wants to pass out his literature about how over-fishing is killing the buffalo industry, we, the Water Buffalo board (Fred Flintstone, Barney Rubble and Pebbles) have every right to ask you to stop. If you don’t stop, we have every right to have you removed.

    That’s not fascism, that’s order. You’re more than welcome to call your own meeting of the over-fisher’s complaint group on your own dime.


  • There were no mistakes here. Point me to 1!

    The only mistake here is the OP not understanding the legal requirements for the manufacturer to delineate the electrical limitations of their product. You will find that limitation on every set of electrical leads you buy.

    Not only was Gemini being helpful by pointing those limitations out, but it informed the op that he could request additional help to see if the leads were safe for his particular use.

    I find it odd when people complain about helpful information.




  • Distributing Political and Critical Material: The attendees were handing out copies of an editorial article previously published in the American Diabetes Association’s own journal. The text criticized the current government administration for drastically cutting scientific and research funding.Protesting Near Scheduled Speakers: The leafleting took place right before the Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) was scheduled to speak at the conference.Breaching the Attendee Guidelines: The ADA strictly prohibits unapproved leafleting, demonstrations, or political protesting under its Attendee Code of Conduct. The policy states that all participants must act in a professional and respectful manner, keeping the conference “centered on advancing diabetes science”.




  • I’m not sure who it was that suggested that the “kids” that i train might be killed or injured by high voltage electricity.

    Of the dozens of apprentices I’ve trained, l don’t know of one that has been injured in that way. I have been shocked, more than once in my 32 years in the field. We didn’t have AI.

    Dude. If you don’t want to “trust” AI, then I’m totally chill with that. You do you.

    I’ll do me.

    My suggestion to you is: don’t use AI. It’s not for you!


  • Well. It’s still on you. I’ve busted Gemini for contradicting itself multiple, multiple times. “But you just said this…”

    It is programmed to speak authoritatively. If you question it, it is programmed to go into customer service mode. That is no lie. There are certain prompts you can use to prevent it from hallucinating, conjecturing or assuming. You can actually ask Gemini (AI) how to turn that off.

    I’ve had many discussions with AI about numerous topics. I consider it a valuable asset especially with regards to my “blindspots”. It is a tool. It has been proven to be superior at spotting cancer and other issues way before any human could/would.

    It still amazes the crap out of me that dogs can be trained to smell out cancer or screw worms or whatever.

    It’s wack, but Gemini can tell you what you’re looking at. I was looking at an obvious sagebush (texas) and Gemini told me. Nope that’s an oregano plant. Looked exactly identical. It described how the leaves weren’t a little bit fuzzy. It suggested i pinch/ twist and smell it. It was right, I was wrong.

    You need to use it as a discrimination technique rather than the “be all end all”.

    I took a picture of my cat and asked Gemini to describe it. It described the cat, it’s color, its head, direction, it’s eyes, its tail, the lighting, the porch, the grass, the bowls, the bald patch of grass, the colors, the shapes, the textures, the size, the geometry… in much more detail than I would’ve ever thought of describing it. If I were a detective, I would have AI point out every detail of a photo. I will bet you I’d miss noticing or describing at least a dozen details.


  • No.

    Stupid people do stupid shit.

    Gemini doesn’t tell to to do this or that (“stick a fork in a socket and see what happens”). Your best friend tells you to jump off a bridge… Nope. AI is giving you the specs and things to consider. “If you jump off this particular bridge, then this will be the likely outcome”. That is factually correct!

    If you don’t understand how to use AI as a probability indicator, that’s on you. Not everyone who jumps off of that bridge or sticks that fork in that socket will die, but the odds exceed 87% or whatever.

    If you can’t use it for what it is, then don’t use it. When I worked as an hvac tech for Walmart, sometimes AI had bad information, but it was always 100% correct in flagging something that looked out of spec (“This is a potential problem”). It had far more eyes to look at everything (every store), than my 2 eyes had looking only at the store I was in.

    AI will give you a whole 'nuther perspective than your own 2 eyes and biased brain. “Well I’ve never been injured doing xyx”. Yeah, OK. But “if you use a grinder without a face mask, and you injure your eyes, you won’t get your eyesight back”.

    Take it for what it’s worth. AI can show you some serious blind spots in your logic by condensing thousands of research papers and web pages in milliseconds.

    If you don’t want to use it, that’s on you. I really don’t care.




  • AI Mode All Products Visual matches Here is a highly technical, multi-layered question about nuclear power plant operations, thermodynamics, and safety systems. The Challenge During a sudden Load Rejection (a complete disconnect from the electrical grid) from 100% full power at a Westinghouse 3-loop Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR), the turbine control valves slam shut immediately. Assuming the Reactor Trip System (RTS) fails to automatically actuate due to a mechanical binding of the control rods—initiating an Anticipated Transient Without Scram (ATWS) event—answer the following three-part question: Thermodynamic Feedback: Explain the immediate (<30 seconds) chronological response of the Core Reactivity (Δ ρ). Specifically, address how the competing effects of the Fuel Doppler Temperature Coefficient and the Moderator Temperature Coefficient (MTC) interact as primary coolant temperature and pressure rapidly spike. Overpressure Protection: The Pressurizer Power Operated Relief Valves (PORVs) and Safety Valves will lift to mitigate the primary system pressure spike. If the primary pressure exceeds the secondary side steam generator pressure, what critical heat transfer phenomenon is threatened on the primary side of the steam generator tubes, and what are the implications for fuel cladding integrity? Emergency Mitigation: Since the control rods failed to insert, operators must initiate Emergency Boration. Why is a highly concentrated boric acid solution injected into the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) effective at shutting down the fission chain reaction even when the coolant is at peak transient temperatures, and which specific isotope is doing the heavy lifting? Take your time to break down the neutronics, thermal-hydraulics, and plant systems involved. When you are ready, let me know your answer or which part you want to tackle first, and I can validate your response or provide the detailed technical solution.


    Do you understand that?

    Is that Gemini’s fault that you didn’t understand that?

    AI Mode response is ready


  • Can’t help you there buddy.

    Gemini correctly summarized the limitations of that item. If you can’t read that, then that’s on you. Gemini actually asked for your specific parameters. One might surmise that you shouldn’t be allowed near high voltage things to begin with if you can’t read basic limitations and refuse clarifications from Gemini.

    • 32 year hvac/refrigeration tech.

    I personally don’t give a shit wherher you trust Gemini or not. But it seems to me that you need remedial help with basic English and IEC standards.

    Sorry. That’s not on Gemini. That’s on you.


  • Now wait a second. As the beloved prophet John Wayne (Hallowed be his name) said, “Hold your horses”.

    I am an ordained minister in the ULC (Universal Life Church - I know it sounds like a life insurance policy gig - but I did pay like $75 for the full Reverend package), does that make me non-Christian.

    In truth, there are Jewish Christians, Hindu Christians, Scientology Christians, Latter Day Saint Christians, secular Christians, Wiccan Christians, Islamic Christians, even female, gay and black Christians (NOOOOOO! )

    I don’t think you can pigeon-hole anybody into anything. There are literally 8.3 billion religions in the world right now. Your perspective/interpretation of God, Christianity, atheism, creationism, Jainism, Buddhism, Judaism, Islamism, feminism,… is completely different than mine.





  • I’m with you. I’ve been emailing Cornyn and Cruz every week about Trump. Everything from USAID , to Iran, to Venezuela, to Cuba, to Iceland, to the Lincoln center, the arch, the East Wing, the whales in the gulf of Mexico, the slush fund, the $250 dollar bill… on and on. I always get a form letter back but I know their staffs have to keep a tally of how many voters feel each way about every issue. This libertarian republican is voting straight Democrat this fall. This maniac has to be stopped.
