AI Thread Summary
To enable duplex printing on a printer in Fedora 11, users may encounter issues accessing printer properties through the System/Administration/Printing interface. If the properties dialog does not open, reconfiguration via the terminal may be necessary. Identifying the specific model of the HP LaserJet printer can aid in troubleshooting. For command line printing, the duplex option can be specified using the command "lpr -Zduplex filetorprint.pdf." Additionally, many applications like Firefox and Acrobat Reader allow users to modify print commands, ensuring the inclusion of the -Zduplex option for double-sided printing.

If you're printing from the command line the way to tell it to do duplex printing is
lpr -Zduplex filetorprint.pdf

I think most programs (e.g., firefox, acrobat reader) let you edit the printing command they use, so just make sure the -Zduplex option is in there.
 

Thread 'Is AI hype?'

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...

Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
