Yes, I found this one easy. Was surprised my data management intuition came back after all these years since school. There’s really only three options:

- boy - boy

- boy - girl

- girl - girl

So it must be 1/3 chance. If you’re looking at permutations in order, that’s a different question.

It’s solvable if you whittle down to “a”

Really fun! Could use a hint function though. I got %100 of all words on Aug 4 but still have not found a way to get it down to zero letters. If anyone has figured it out please let me know!

I’m stuck on that one too! Got 100% of all possible words but cannot figure out how to reduce to zero. A “show hint” feature would be nice when you’re stuck.

I agree with your sentiment that animals and maybe even plants can experience sentience. But that’s a far, far, faaaar cry from what ChatGPT is and is capable of. We don’t have “general” AI yet. ChatGPT’s intelligence is very narrow; it generates written content. That’s about it. I believe a lot of people are overhyping it this way.

Bing and ChatGPT are both narrow AIs. They don’t have feelings or any real understanding of self. They simply generate text. You can ask it about itself, but anything it generates doesn’t have any real meaning, as it’s just making it up semi-randomly.

Probably the communication devices were blown off by the shockwave in the case of an implosion. It’s absolutely possible to have communications with the surface at this level; Trieste from the bottom of Mariana Trench was able to communicate back up to surface. That was 3x deeper and the early 60s.

My thoughts exactly. They should be doing a deep inspection of the hull before and after every dive. RTM sounds good until you have a failure at 10000 ft down and die instantly. “We detected a failu -“ and then you go boom.

So much skimming here eh. The whole trip can take 8 days, from launching on a ship to take you out to sea. The actual dive itself is supposed to be 12 hrs from “bolts on” pre dive to “bolts off” getting out of the sub. 8 hrs underwater, not 8 days.

Seems like they’re going to get sued if the passengers and crew aren’t saved. Possibly even if they are saved. Maybe the contract they get people to sign is tight enough, but everything I’ve read so far seems like they were a bit reckless. They don’t have to inspect their hull for issues every dive; they have real time monitoring of the health at all times! We just pop them back up when we discover an issue…

But what if that issue is detected at a depth at which nothing can be done? At a depth where death is imminent no matter what? The thing is held together with RV lights and a crappy Logitech controller from Amazon. What else have they elected to skimp on?

The “why Titan isn’t classed” page is hilarious too. They mention of the 25 pre checks they have, the majority are for surface operations, not underwater operations. Does not give one confidence and reads like a joke after this debacle.

The Trieste dive to the bottom of Mariana Trench were able to use voice communications from the sea floor. Should be possible from Titanics depths then, seeing as Mariana’s is 3x deeper. Assuming the sub hasn’t already imploded, that is.

They’re saying they might pass 14 days since purchase if the download wastes their time to test it on the free night.
