What is this, two red days for NVDA and NYTimes publishes this?
It's almost like NY Times has a massive bias against generative AI, for some reason.

ChatGPT5 in this demo:
> For an airplane wing (airfoil), the top surface is curved and the bottom is flatter. When the wing moves forward:
> * Air over the top has to travel farther in the same amount of time -> it moves faster -> pressure on the top decreases.
> * Air underneath moves slower -> pressure underneath is higher
> * The presure difference creates an upward force - lift
Isn't that explanation of why wings work completely wrong? There's nothing that forces the air to cover the top distance in the same time that it covers the bottom distance, and in fact it doesn't. https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/how-wings-really-work
Very strange to use a mistake as your first demo, especially while talking about how it's phd level.
Extremely common misconception. NASA even has a website about how it's incorrect

There are nice example how even after human input the translation misses things.
For example, the price of the fish was stated as 2.40 rubles. This is meaningless outside the context and does not explain why it was very expensive for the old man who checked the fish first. But if one knows that this was Soviet SF that was about a life in a small Soviet town of that time, then one also knows that a monthly pension was like 70-80 rubles so the fish cost was a daily income.
Then one needs to remember that the only payment method was cash and people did not go out with amount more than they would expect to spend to minimize the loss in case of thievery etc. and banking was non-existing in practice so people hold the savings in cash at home. That explains why Lozhkin went to home for the money.
Would you want a translator to somehow jam that context into the story? Otherwise, I fail to see how it's an issue of translation.
If I had learned Russian and read the story in the original language, I would be in the same position regardless.

That's a good ballpark for something quantized to 8 bits per parameter. But you can 2x/4x that for 16 and 32 bit.
I've never seen a 32 bit model. There's bound to be a few of them, but it's hardly a normal precision.

Perhaps we should instead avoid antibeeotics?
> Could we engineer a more efficient photosynthesis?
Yes! They’re called solar panels, and our best ones are about 4x more efficient than the most efficient photosynthesis processes in nature, afaik.
A tree grows a leaf slightly more efficiently than we create a solar panel though.
Why not? Elaborate
It's quite hazardous to your health to all of a sudden lack any DNA. Your cells won't know how to replicate for one.

The automatic headline rewriting is an absolute joke and it has not improved a title a single time ever.
