Yes. It used to be that the bottle caps were of a different type of plastic and so couldn't be recycled together, at least not easily. And people learnt that, so they used to remove the bottle caps.

But they've gone over to using the same type of plastic in the caps as they do in the bottles, so they can all be recycled together, but getting that new idea through to people is a bit difficult, so it's easier to just tie the bottle cap to the bottle to reinforce the idea that they should now stay together.

I think the idea is that there will be, but not currently because they're still testing it.

Although it is hard to understand what they're doing because they're not very clear themselves. The idea seems to be that chatGPT will remain free, possibly with some improvements in the future, and then a paid API will be released for people to train their own version of the AI on their own datasets. That paid API is what you're after, but it doesn't exist yet.

What would really be useful is if it could take in files as prompts. For example I can feed it an Excel spreadsheet and then it could write blurb outlining more or less what the spreadsheet says. Writing up reports on spreadsheet is a massively boring task, no one likes it and if it could just be automated that would be fantastic. I'm sure chatGPT is clever enough to do it but it's inability to take in files means it can't. What is not clear is if the API would allow me/someone else to build in that functionality.

There is real value and ground-based astronomy. Not least of all if we don't have the bandwidth for everyone to use JSWT and Hubble.

In general you are right if it's a choice between this and internet infrastructure it isn't even a competition. Obviously astronomers are going to feel different, and this article is written from their perspective.

It was convicted of being a Nazi though. Though I'm unclear if it was that or the protest that was the problem.

Suppressing right wing nationalists isn't a great idea anyway, although tempting, because it lend legitimacy to their victim complex.

Depends on how it's implemented, it may use different ports for different things.

If so, you could just close any port that it uses for streaming data. If the data is streamed via UDP it probably does use a different port than it does for updates, but you would have to look into it find out exactly what it uses.
