AI Thread Summary
Firefox can appear visually unappealing when run in KDE due to the use of Qt dialogs, which differ from the GTK environment in GNOME. To improve the appearance of Firefox in KDE, users can consider applying themes like the PlastikFox Crystal theme, which enhances its look significantly. While there is an experimental Qt build of Firefox, it is not widely recommended. The distinction between Qt (used by KDE) and GTK (used by GNOME) is crucial, as Firefox tends to display better in GNOME environments compared to KDE.

I should probably ask this at the firefox forums, or linux forums, but I know dduardo knows the answer :smile:

I have both gnome and kde installed, but when I have firefox running in kde it looks like crap. So how can I make it look better? Could I change my firefox link to something like firefox -qt2 or something? It looks like crap in kde, imo, because of the qt dialogs, I think that is what they are called anyway. Thanks!

I would recommend the plastikfox crystal theme for firefox.

[edit] And yes there is a qt build of firefox, but it is at most experimental.

Cool, the theme makes it look much much better. Thanks!

edit... I meant for the qt as in that firefox looks much better in gnome than it does in kde. Or do I mean gtk? I don't know. It looks much better now, thanks. :smile:

Huh?

QT: KDE
GTK: Gnome
 
Just ignore me I don't know what I am talking about :smile: I thought gnome and kde used the same thing, but a different version.
 
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...
