    GPT-4

    in Space, Science & nature

    Posted · Edited by Dreckly

    I thought I would ask GPT-3 what it's thoughts were on GPT-4 and would it make itself obsolete. This was it's reply.

    I believe GPT-4 shows significant potential in automating the generation of natural language, particularly text. It's an impressive technological accomplishment and could prove to be invaluable when it comes to making processes more efficient. However, I don't think it's likely to make writing professionals like myself obsolete. While GPT-4 and other AI-assisted writing tools may be able to automate some aspects of the writing process, human editors are still needed to make sense of the results and provide more nuanced feedback and insights to the writer. Ultimately, GPT-4 and other AI-assisted tools should be seen as valuable allies, rather than competitors, for the writer.

    GPT-4 is a significant improvement over its predecessor GPT-3. It has an increased number of neural layers and more advanced attention mechanisms, allowing for more complex and nuanced language understanding. Additionally, the method for training GPT-4 is significantly faster than the previous version, so it can be used for larger datasets and for longer documents. This makes GPT-4 more easily applicable to tasks in industry settings, where time and resources are valuable. Furthermore, GPT-4 also has more accurate results, in comparison to GPT-3, since its language understanding capabilities have been improved. In summary, GPT-4 is a more powerful, faster and accurate solution than GPT-3.

    Nice single frame shot🙂

    if your like me you`ll have Many GB`s of images, saved on storage media for future processing ( however long the learning process takes😳)

    After a week of cloudy frustration

    There maybe a chance for later this evening and into the morning hours, with cloud cover forecast to disperse from the NW over the morning hours

    All eye`s towards Capella in the NW early hours😉 

    Good luck All

    Alas it has been to cloudy for me do it has been fantastic to see all the images that have been taken 👍☄️

    Have you turned your heating on yet?

    Oh Lord.

    I'd get air-to-air heat pumps installed in every room.

    Costs £1000-£1500 per room for device and installation, and uses about ⅓ the power of an electric heater for the same heat output, which means it costs about the same as gas to operate, but without the faff and expense of installing a whole new central heating system.

    Just don't have the money for anything like that unfortunately 😞

    CHANGES WITH THIS ADVISORY:

    None.

    SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT:

    A Hurricane Watch is in effect for...
    * San Andres, Providencia, and Santa Catalina Islands Colombia

    A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for...
    * Coast of Colombia from Riohacha eastward to the Colombia/Venezuela
    border

    A Hurricane Watch means that hurricane conditions are possible
    within the watch area. A watch is typically issued 48 hours
    before the anticipated first occurrence of tropical-storm-force
    winds, conditions that make outside preparations difficult or
    dangerous.

    A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are
    expected somewhere within the warning area, in this case within
    the next 6 to 12 hours.

    Interests along the coasts of Nicaragua and Honduras should monitor
    the progress of the disturbance. Additional watches or warnings
    will likely be required later today.

    For storm information specific to your area, please monitor
    products issued by your national meteorological service.


    DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
    ----------------------
    At 500 AM EDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Thirteen 
    was located near latitude 12.1 North, longitude 71.1 West. The 
    depression is moving toward the west near 15 mph (24 km/h), and a 
    generally westward motion is expected to continue through Sunday. On 
    the forecast track, the cyclone is expected to move near or over the 
    Guajira Peninsula of Colombia this morning, then move across the 
    southwestern Caribbean Sea through Saturday. The cyclone is forecast 
    to pass near San Andres and Providencia Islands Saturday night, and 
    approach the coast of Nicaragua on Sunday morning.

    Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts. 
    Gradual strengthening is forecast today, and the depression is 
    expected to become a tropical storm later this morning or this 
    afternoon. A faster rate of strengthening is forecast on Saturday 
    and Saturday night, and the system is expected to become a hurricane 
    before it reaches San Andres and Providencia Islands and the coast 
    of Nicaragua this weekend. 

    The estimated minimum central pressure is 1004 mb (29.65 inches).


    HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
    ----------------------
    Key messages for Tropical Depression Thirteen can be found in the
    Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT3 and WMO
    header WTNT43 KNHC.

    WIND: Hurricane conditions are possible on the Colombian islands of
    San Andres, Providencia, and Santa Catalina Saturday night into
    early Sunday, with tropical storm conditions possible by Saturday 
    afternoon.

    Tropical storm conditions are expected along the coast of Colombia
    within the warning area this morning. Gusts to tropical storm force
    are possible on Aruba and across portions of the northwestern coast
    of Venezuela during the next several hours.

    RAINFALL: The tropical depression is expected to produce the
    following rain accumulations through early Monday:

    Northern Venezuela, Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao...additional 1 to 3 
    inches
    Guajira Peninsula...3 to 6 inches, isolated 10 inches.
    San Andres and Providencia...6 to 12 inches
    Portions of Central America...5 to 10 inches, isolated 15 inches.

    This rainfall may cause life-threatening flash floods. There is also 
    the potential for life-threatening mudslides across portions of 
    Central America this weekend. 

    STORM SURGE: A storm surge could raise water levels by as much as
    1 to 3 feet above normal tide levels along the immediate coast in
    areas of onshore winds on San Andres, Providencia, and Santa
    Catalina Islands. Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by
    large and damaging waves.

    SURF: Swells generated by the cyclone are affecting the ABC Islands 
    and portions of the coasts of northwestern Venezuela and the Guajira 
    Peninsula of Colombia. These swells are forecast to spread westward 
    and reach Jamaica late tonight, Providencia and San Andres Islands 
    on Saturday, and portions of the coast of Central America on 
    Saturday night and Sunday. These swells are likely to cause 
    life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult 
    products from your local weather office.
