I am having a fight with chatgpt

When referencing chatgpt (and similar tools) it is advisable to include version and/or edition to be used. The development is rather quick and there are different capabilities in various editions (free, paid, beta releases...). Open AI has (recently) added python capabilities to ChatGPT. This, in my opinion, allows for possibly better output from an LLM for the type of questions OP asked (given that a reasonable prompt is used as input) since the LLM output can be based on the output from the running python code.

(I notice that OP has left this topic to pursue other interests, this response is more of a general observation)

The equation says that the x root of x equals 100.  So what does x equal?

Assuming \(x \in  \mathbb{R}  \) then  \(  \sqrt[x]{x}=100 \) has no solution

\[ \frac{a}{b} \]

\[  \sqrt[x]{x}=y, x \in  \mathbb{R}  \]

Text \(  \sqrt[x]{x}=y, x \in  \mathbb{R}  \) some more text

cellular automata

That is a good suggestion as well.  
I'm also thinking of adding  "Optimization" (one example: gradient descent).

Note: I've not added Turing machine to the list; I see Turing as more foundational to computing in general and not a top candidate in the context of LLMs. But I'm open for suggestions and opinions.  
 

Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-4 and its predecessors are, as far as I know, built upon a foundation of mathematical and computational concepts, some of which were established long ago. I've been asked to do a short presentation about LLMs and I'm thinking of including a timeline of mathematical concepts to give some context to the audience. Can you suggest significant discoveries that could be included? There is likely no exact answer and I would value your opinion.

For a short list I have these as a starting point:
-Probability Theory
-Foundations of Calculus
-Vectors and Matrices (Linear Algebra)
-Neural Networks
-Information Theory (entropy)

(and maybe some recent things like Word Embeddings and Transformer Architecture )

I'll need to do some research to assign reasonable time stamps to the concepts.

what makes something absurd. Just tell me

As far as I know absurdity arise when there's a discrepancy between what is expected and what actually occurs. The expectation can arise from context, personal experience, knowledge or preferences.

Example: In a scientific discussion on a science forum the opening post in this thread is absurd.
Example: Once @Phi for All moved the thread to the lounge and your followups are added the context changes; any attempt at a "formal" or meaningful answer (including this answer) could be considered absurd.

Doesn't work

Quick advice @grayson After solving the syntax issues pointed out by @Sensei you might want to take a step back and take a look at the design. It is not likely that the code you have written helps you with the task you presented.

I am having a fight with chatgpt whether this is a database or not. I won't tell which side I am on. I jut need you to resolve this by telling me what it is. the only thing I am telling you is that the words.txt is a dictionary containing a lot of words. I need you to research as much as you can and tell me what this is. Help me (I made this code)

What you have posted is not a database. Given the piece of code you've shared above as a prompt, it's likely that ChatGPT—a machine learning model trained on a large dataset to assist with natural language understanding and generation—would produce an output saying, 'No, this is not a database.'

Well, I guess I will ask Mit than. (though nobody responds to my emails)

The GitHub link I gave you above has a licens file; may be the quickest option to check if that licensing suits your needs.  Also make sure to check the site where you access the images. 

Another note @grayson: large scale processing of someone else's content may be profited unless you have an explicit permission.

I just need every English word put into one variable

google suggests:
A list with 10000 words, maybe useful as a starting point: https://www.mit.edu/~ecprice/wordlist.10000
A larger list (466k words): https://github.com/dwyl/english-words

Notes:
-verify licensing before using
-"inappropriate" is for you to define and handle
-You need a lot more than just English words (se my note above) to get going with your project

I also need a database with every  (non-innapopriate) word in the dictionary. All it needs to do is let you be able to define every word at once. If you need to know why, just read the main post

Before digging into technical aspects; don't you need some context to tell what's appropriate and what is the definition? Quick example: 
nut: usually large hard-shelled seed
nut: a small usually square or hexagonal metal block with internal screw thread

(yes, there are more homonyms; some of which may be inappropriate depending on context)

How can be made it to work better being both 'closed' and 'vented' ?

Here is the solution in my current house, it has a standard closed heating system. There is a tank with a pressurised bladder which allows for expansion: 

The pressure can be adjusted by adding air through a valve and/or by adding water to the closed system.
Valve for adding air:

Any overpressure is vented through an emergency valve (see top picture)

In case @tmdarkmatter is interested in common misconceptions and confusions and to get some insight in established models this paper may be helpful: "Expanding Confusion: common misconceptions of cosmological horizons and the superluminal expansion of the Universe"

Quote

We use standard general relativity to illustrate and clarify several common misconceptions about the expansion of the Universe. To show the abundance of these misconceptions we cite numerous misleading, or easily misinterpreted, statements in the literature. In the context of the new standard Lambda-CDM cosmology we point out confusions regarding the particle horizon, the event horizon, the ``observable universe'' and the Hubble sphere

If there were any truth in your claims then modern weapons and warfare would easily include this kind of weather control already. What does this logic reasoning tell you about your idea?

I know the official line is that so called AI programs are nothing more than glorified TMs

But is that really true ?

 

My intuitive answer would be that CHATGPT and similar could be implemented on a Turing Machine. But here are some thoughts; hopefully others may add some insights.

Assumptions that as far as I know are sound in this context:
1: CHATGPT and similar systems are build from components that can be realised by Turing machines.
2: The architecture of CHATGPT (and others) is based on distributed components and interacting concurrent computational resources.
3: Frequent changes occur through intentional updates and upgrades, unintentional failures, user interaction etc.

There are other computational models than Turing, for instance Hewitt's Actor model of computation.

Short description*

Quote

The model has been used both as a framework for a theoretical understanding of concurrency, and as the theoretical basis for several practical implementations of concurrent systems. The advent of massive concurrency through client-cloud computing and many-core computer architectures has galvanized interest in the Actor Model.

Question: Is the Actor model of computation more suitable than Turing machine for a large distributed system such as CHATGPT? 
I don't not know; assume for this discussion that the answer is "yes" and move on to one of Hewitt's claims*

Quote

There are nondeterministic computable functions on integers that cannot be implemented by a nondeterministic Turing machine.

This could mean that there may be more to @studiot's initial question than I initially thought (hence my late answer in this thread).
Your thoughts?

For my work, I utilise AWS Batch Service. Instead of sending the logs produced by AWS Batch to Cloud-Watch, I want to transmit them directly to Splunk. How can I set up the AWS Batch log-driver to accomplish this?

Splunk allows for different approaches such as:

Using a Forwarding Agent installed on a server
Utilizing HTTP-based Event Collection for data transmission
Employing a Logging Driver for Container Platforms
Leveraging Add-ons or Serverless Functions to onboard logs

More information is required to provide specific help. Once you have gathered the necessary information, it may be better to follow @Phi for All's advice. If that fails, the Splunkbase and Splunk community are quite active, as far as I know. I believe there are a limited number of active members here interested in these matters.

(Note: I have integrated Splunk with other service providers in the past but not with AWS; I can only provide some general advice.)

Did you guys all have a meeting privately and decide on a attack strategy?

No private meetings needed. The robustness of scientific methods enables independent researchers to reach the same conclusions.

There is a group of four prisoners, Al, Bill, Chuck, and Dick. After one year in prison, they have a chance to be released. It works as follows.

There is a room with a row of four boxes. Slips with the prisoners' names are randomly placed in the boxes, one per box.

Each prisoner enters the room, one at a time, checks one or two boxes of their choice, leaves the room without changing anything, and goes to his cell without any communication with other prisoners. Next prisoner enters the room. Etc.

If each prisoner finds his names in the boxes he checks, all four are released. If even one of them does not find his name, all four stay in prison for another year. A year later, they get this chance again. Of course, the slips are placed randomly again then.

How long are they expected to stay in prison? The calculation is straightforward. Each prisoner has 1/2 chance to find his name by checking two out of the four boxes. A chance that all four will find their names is 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/16. Thus, they are statistically expected to stay in prison for 16 years.

It turned out that there is a strategy which shortens this time. Significantly. Down to 2-3 years!

What is the strategy?

No tricks. Pure strategy. 

They can strategize only before entering the room.
