  • No, it actually doesn’t. How LLMs work is that it takes in written words and makes a sentence based on the likelihood of what the next word will be based on human readable text. That’s literally it.

    Hence, there’s absolutely no guarantee that ChatGPT’s ‘review’ of your homework will always be 100% correct because it is probable that the answer was written incorrectly in the billions of lines of text it has been fed.

    On the other hand, a calculator has been superficially wired for it’s purpose to process an input. 1 + 1 will always equal 2.

    I’d wager your supervisor will be horrified to learn that you’re getting an LLM to learn from rather than your peers. This is why i absolutely hate that it’s being used as a substitute what essentially makes us human: art, music, research, learning etc.

    It’s a tool that needs a licence because you need to know how to use it to complement your existing skills, not supplement it.




  • Most standard street lighting comes in 4000K for some reason. It’s completely dumb. I’ve spoken to Melbourne City council about this many times but there’s a perception (an incorrect one) that 4000K feels ‘safer’.

    We should all be actually using PC Amber LED chips but noooooo… Too ‘expensive’.

    Also all LEDs should have lens optics and move away from reflectors to get a wide range of beam angles to prevent glare and other bad stuff that comes with using LEDs.

    And we should also be doing proper disposal of LEDs once they die because they’re essentially little computers.

    … Ok, rant over.
