    You scared the newbies with your profile picture.. Wasn't it www.scienceforums.net before, and now it's scienceforums.net? Such a change has a devastating effect on search engine rankings. All links that search engines have ever recorded are now redirects. robots.txt differs between URLs: https://scienceforums.net/robots.txt https://www.scienceforums.net/robots.txt Sitemap from 1st is providing to http://www.scienceforums.net/sitemap.php I'd change it to https://scienceforums.net/sitemap.php i.e. http -> https and have them on the same domain name. All the links on sitemap here: https://scienceforums.net/sitemap.php are with http instead of https and are with www.scienceforums.net so are all redirects..
  2. "The new ChatGPTs lie like crazy. Hallucinations in every second answer. The latest OpenAI artificial intelligence models for inference give false answers more often than older AIs. It's not clear why." "A few days ago, as we wrote about, OpenAI released new models for inference - including the most important o3 and o4-mini. They perform better than their predecessors in some areas - especially coding and math. Now we have found that, unfortunately, they make up answers much more often than the older OpenAI models. They hallucinate in greater explicit numbers than the company's previous reasoning models - o1, o1-mini and o3-mini - as well as traditional “non-comprehending” OpenAI models such as GPT-4o." "The response rate of new models with fake content is alarmingly high. OpenAI discovered that o3 showed hallucinations in response to as many as 33 percent of questions. This is a result achieved in a special PersonQA tool used by OpenAI.to measure the accuracy of the model's knowledge." "The 33 percent response rate with hallucinations is roughly twice the hallucination rate of OpenAI's previous reasoning models, o1 and o3-mini. These get scores of 16 percent and 14.8 percent, respectively, in the tests here. o4-mini performed even worse in the PersonQA test. In its case, hallucinations occurred in as many as 48 percent of cases." "That new inference models are more likely to lie has also been noticed by Transluce, a laboratory specializing in artificial intelligence research. Its researchers noted, for example, how o3 informed a user that it had run code on a 2021 MacBook Pro. “outside of ChatGPT,” and then copied the numbers into his answer. That's bogus, o3 can't do that." "There are also reports that links to non-existent Web pages, for example, appear in application codes generated by the new models." "No one knows why this is happening. Transluce, in an interview with TechCrunch, speculates that the increase in the number of hallucinations of the new models should be linked to the technique of teaching them through so-called reinforcement. In it, not only do their capabilities grow, but their greatest weaknesses are strengthened as well. " "So now it seems that the AI industry has entered a bit of a dead end. Last year, it focused on developing inference models after techniques to improve traditional AI models began to show declining effectiveness. Reasoning seemed to improve the model's performance on many tasks, without the need for huge calculations and the use of huge amounts of data during training. However, it now seems that reasoning models also have greater hallucination than standard models. As we now know, they are starting to get so big that they often derail the sense of using AI." (Translated by AI ;) ) All the code generated by the older ChatGPT did not work.. Almost useless for beginners, as they will have no idea where to start in order to get it to compile and work..

  4. Fox News complains about tariffs. WTF.
  5. They depend on the resolution.. It is called Responsive Web Design. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responsive_web_design and it is controlled by CSS media rules. https://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_mediaqueries.asp I think I found a really nasty bug - after merging two messages and trying to edit the original message, there is no content of the second message.. @Cap'n Refsmmat After pressing Edit and then Cancel, a blank alert window will appear: @TheVat The resolution has been slightly changed and the hamburger menu has disappeared: 980px triggers it As I already said you can try it with Firefox ctrl-shift-m
  6. Quoting is not working properly. If I quote someone, it doesn't mention who the original author of the quote was..
  7. I would say that owing someone a debt was one of the most common reasons for murdering that person, so as not to have to pay the debt.. War between countries is just an extrapolation of this to the large scale and in white gloves.

  8. On a PC you can simulate mobile devices. On Firefox simply press ctrl+shift+m and reload page. On Chrome follow f.e. this: "Method 1: Using Device Simulation in Chrome DevTools for Mobile View Open DevTools by pressing F12. Click on the “Device Toggle Toolbar” available. Choose a device you want to simulate from the iOS and Android devices list. Once the desired device is chosen, it displays the mobile view of the website."
  9. Here's a new line! I use ctrl-a to select everything and then press enter and then ctrl-v to have a new line at the top. Yes, it is annoying. But on mobile devices probably even more so. Alternatively, you can press enter in an empty answer, then select someone's text and quote it. The new line will still be at the top.
  10. Go to Leaderboard, Past leaders and start clicking on 2, 3, 4 etc. It doesn't switch the page. Firefox on Linux on a PC. The number of likes and posts is not an exact number, but with the suffix k.
  11. The wallpaper is good for the computer desktop, not for the wall. I personally don't know anyone here who has wallpaper. Maybe in UK? But they didn't brag about their home décor. A nice wall is a white wall. You can buy a projector and have an ultra-wide screen. OTOH, among these modern wallpapers some have good taste. I like this one:

    Russia not on Trump's tariff list: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cdjl3k1we8vo "One country that did not feature on Donald Trump's list of tariffs on US trade partners was Russia." "However, nations with even less trade with the US - such as Syria, which exported $11m of products last year according to UN data quoted by Trading Economics - were on the list."
  14. The fertilization of stupidity. Master level.
  15. It looks like you are simply using WhatsApp via a web browser, not the installed application. There are WhatsApp clients for Linux: https://www.google.com/search?q=whatsapp+linux+client
  16. How to create any application launcher: I ran VirtualBox with Ubuntu 22.04 (I doubt there is any difference in this area) on my Kali Live. The .desktop files were located in /usr/share/applications (which is a common location for them). I changed Terminal to Terminal2, logged off and logged in again, to update change, and dock on the right started showing Terminal2. So why not copy and paste any .desktop file there, rename it to whatever is appropriate, and edit it with whatever you want to run? I didn't have to log out to update this one:
  17. I am confused. For cooking what? Any water that is not used, for example, for washing a car, should be filtered and cooked to kill microbes. e.g. watering flowers in the garden through water from the river carries the risk of transferring (micro and macro) organisms that are in this water to your garden. The least problematic is rainwater, provided that it is kept in sterile conditions. Contamination may not come from human sources, but from natural sources. Animals also pee and poop and eventually die near the water they live in. Worms live in it, etc. etc. Microbes, bacteria, fungi, algae, etc.
  18. Do you know that abroad the leaders of western countries are considered leaders of terrorist groups? Especially in countries that could be called hostile to the USA. Everyone creates their own definition. Ukrainians call Volodya a terrorist. And Russians call Ukrainians that too. You provide a quote and link to an article that has no significance whatsoever. It does not change to the fact that instead of arresting him and putting him on trial, he was murdered, i.e. a lynching. In principle, after something like that how can one criticize, for example, the murder of Litvinenko or Kim's brother when Western politicians do exactly the same? An authoritarian politician sees what Western politicians are doing and does the same to his enemies. Real or imagined. You don't know if he was even involved or not. You've only heard one version repeated over and over again. That's called indoctrination. It reminds me of Zarqawi – he found out he was an Iraqi terrorist leader from TV. Which made him truly popular in the eyes of the Iraqis. The US authorities themselves made him a leader.
  19. This thread is about complying with national and international law. The technological superiority of the US causes the leaders to give a damn about obeying any laws. Sky is the limit. Other countries can at most shout about the fact that the U.S. has committed some crime. No consequences are drawn, both for people personally and institutions that participated in breaking the law. That's why there are terrorist attacks, because no one expects a military confrontation from any other country whose rights have been violated as a result of the US government's actions. Dictators, authoritarian leaders, see this and draw conclusions. Under the current POTUS basically everyone in the world already hates Americans. And it's only been two months. A lie. It's a tool of surveillance.. And besides, there is nothing to google here. You can see with the naked eye what crimes were committed. It was recorded on film. Photos taken.
  20. Your blindness prevents you from taking a reasonable and objective view of the matter. Take off the rose-colored glasses that prevent you from looking objectively at what is going on. Where in the constitution, criminal law, and international law do you have there about ordering assassination in other countries, like Pakistan, which at that point in time was even friendly country? In international law is a clear violation of the country's sovereignty. Democracies if they are real democracies must/should obey the law, and not openly, and these days in front of the whole world, violate it. Or just don't say you're a democracy, because that would be a lie, as you don't obey the laws you made for yourself at all. The judicial power in a democratic country should be independent. A judicial authority that is dependent on politicians is a farce. And here we have an example that the judicial authority doesn't give a damn at all, because they didn't bring the suspect to trial, but simply murdered him. If e.g. Canada or Mexico sent a squadron of helicopters deep into the U.S. with assassins to murder someone, and even record it with cameras, it would make a unimaginable international scandal. And when the U.S. or another Western country does exactly that, you treat it as an insignificant small thing. You have double standards. For “us” and for “them”. If you bomb people or launch a rocket attack, etc. etc. then people die, and their relatives, descendants want revenge. The U.S., Russia, Israel etc. create a new terrorists by themselves. Twenty years from now, the descendants of those you murdered today with bombs will grow up and do some attack that will only be revenge for what you did today. You will then say: "US is under attack, we will find and kill those who did it, ordered it, paid for it", and even those who stood next to them without knowing anything about the case. It is a line of retaliation for retaliation for retaliation. Hit for hit for hit for previous hit. No one remembers what came first. (Maybe some Englishman in the 18th-19th centuries had a brick fall from the roof when he was on a trip in the Arab countries and considered it an attack on the British, a subject of the Queen and in general an insult to the majesty and power of the British Empire?) Don't tell me the WTC was a terrorist attack. It was revenge. Such terrorist attacks are committed by the US almost every day all over the world. How many people were murdered in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria? Thousands of times more than in the WTC. As you make your bed, so shall you sleep. Why put a random guy in jail who killed someone on the street, when there are murderers in top state positions who have killed hundreds of thousands of people? And they do it with white gloves. They order the murder and watch it on the TV screen, read the report or forget about it the next day.
  21. ..did you think through your statement deeply before posting.. ?
  22. There are democracies and “democracies”. The DJT recently ordered the bombing of completely non-military locations, committing war crimes and murdering civilians who were not supposed to be targeted at all in Jemen. Just like his beloved colleague Volodya, and yet another mass murderer netanjahu. In these pseudo-democracies of modern times every leader wants to bomb and attack other countries according to his own vision, no matter that according to their constitution he has no authority to do so. After all, he doesn't “declare war,” he just bombs something there and someone there, and they watch it on the TV and it's okay. Like here: You have such the Volodie, a terrorist group leader, who has committed war crimes, and with him you talk on the phone, and make a deal. And if someone doesn't have the enough power, you don't talk to him, you just bomb him, entire village, entire city and entire country. It's just semantics. For them. They say "We do not negotiate with terrorist groups".. How is one terrorist group supposed to talk to another terrorist group? When was the last declaration of war sent before joining the hostilities? I guess it's high time to replace these pseudo political leaders from orbit simply by using lasers from the sky.. Let them hide in their burrows in the deepest places. And flying air planes is left for the birds. If I found out the president was flying on my plane, I think I'd be late for my flight on that plane. Especially if he is a criminal. War criminals should not go out in the open air. They should rot several kilometers underground. Where they belong. Where is their place.
  23. ..as long as they had time to sell their assets at the price top.. In principle, I disagree with you. Recession means that people stop buying, especially the things they sell are not necessary for ordinary people to survive - expensive hotels, unnecessary junk imported from china, luxury brands of the best “fashion dictators”, or the nth car, these are things that are not bought when there is a recession.. When there is a recession it is their businesses that suffer from lack of customers, lack of money, lack of liquidity, etc. Musk has a huge problem. Because of his gesture and/or participation in politics and/or his general mental breakdown, people stopped buying his car. https://time.com/7266929/heres-how-teslas-sales-have-been-hit-around-the-world/ "Looking at Germany, the largest market for EVs in the E.U., the country saw a 30% year-over-year rise in electric vehicle sales in February, but Tesla sales were down more than 70% compared to last year—less than 1,500 new Teslas were registered in the country in February. " Look at Madoff - his business was going well until the recession started.. everyone who had money with him demanded returns and the pyramid collapsed..
  24. Did you try OVHCloud VPS (virtual private server) ? 4 UKP per month.
  25. https://www.forbes.com/sites/antoniopequenoiv/2025/03/10/trumps-net-worth-slides-300-million-as-trump-media-shares-hit-5-month-low/ "President Donald Trump’s net worth fell nearly $300 million Monday, continuing a months-long slide as Trump Media & Technology Group shares tumbled over 11% and reached their lowest point since October." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-media-truth-social-400-million-loss-sales-revenue-decline/ "Trump Media and Technology Group, the parent company of President Trump's social networking site Truth Social, said it lost $400.9 million last year, while its annual revenue declined 12% to $3.6 million." This company is a scam: "Citing its "early development stage," the parent company based in Sarasota, Florida, said it doesn't report "traditional key performance indicators" used by other social media companies, such as how many people have signed up for the service, use it on a daily or monthly basis or see its ads." Any company that broadcasts online ads for its clients must provide statistics on how many viewers have seen them. Without such basic instruments, it makes no sense for such an IT company to exist, and it makes no sense to publish ads on such a platform. How many people have seen an ad is the easiest thing you can do in a few minutes of programming, you just have to do a hit counter. Not authoritative, but better than nothing Better is a unique visitor counter. Post-factum, the number of hits/unique hits on the site can be obtained by analyzing the web server logs. If someone does not have a tool to analyze server logs, he may not even know that he has a hacker attack on servers. These are such basic things that even home sites from '90 had such information.. If I were a government employee fired by DT, I would be busy analyzing who is buying and selling shares of his companies. When you enter a cesspool, there is so much shit that you don't know what to choose from. Shifting shares from one basket to another, hoping that some suckers will join in and then be left with nothing on the price hill.
