Unable to be fucked with remembering basic dates and chronological events

Finally I can emphasise with AI

AI struggles to understand human history and fails miserably when tested

The study, which is the first of its kind, evaluates the historical knowledge of leading AI models such as ChatGPT-4, Llama, and Gemini.

I was thinking of ways to achieve this, and decided it might be best to see one in action before putting too much thought into it.
The only indication that it has switched to the secondary source is the red indicator in the middle. The lever doesn't turn of its own accord, it has to be turned manually. So the only way to receive a notification that it'd switched inputs (without opening it up) would be to monitor the colour of the spy glass.

Mine most definitely switches over of its own accord - fats the whole point of them. Some, but not mine, do actually have an electrical contact closure to indicate reserve supply.

The model in the picture has to be switched manually. The gas switches automatically but not the lever.

Hmm. I've never actually SEEN my lever go over, but it has. I can test it by turning taps off on bottles. A job for the weekend...

This is the video I saw, explaining how they work.

Oh, that is strange. I'm almost 100% certain that the handle was pointing in a different direction. But that "reserve" flag has promise...

A TCS34725 RGB sensor would probably work. It'd need training on the red flag colour but it should be fairly easy.

The sound isn't working on my tv.

On the computer there are usually at least three things that could be: sound muted on program, sound muted on computer, loudspeak amplifier not switched on ( happens more often that it should and takes me ages to realize).

Probably no use to you though, and as I recall you're at a much higher tech level than I and so, sorry to say this but have you tried switching ..... ? (does sometimes reset for me).

It’s not muted. I could factory reset it and that will probably sort it but it’s a ball ache. This tv was cheap and has been nothing but trouble.

nothing on the web about sound problems with that model?

(sorry I shut up now with the useless advice)

 

[nottsgirl]

It’s working again!!!!!!

 

[nottsgirl]

Also I doubt I’m at a higher tech level than you two sheds I can just about turn it off and on again.
