I tried in Bard just for comparison's sake and it got to 1 while still saying a different number. It's a bit strange, here:

Julia has two sisters!

Here's the reasoning:

1. *Julia's brothers have sisters*: Each of Julia's three brothers has two sisters. This means in total, her brothers have 3 brothers * 2 sisters/brother = 6 sisters.

2. *Those sisters are not additional*: However, it's important to remember that these sisters belong to Julia's brothers, not directly to Julia herself. Julia and her sisters are siblings, not counted among the sisters her brothers have.

3. *Therefore*: Julia has 2 sisters (herself and one other).

So, while Julia's brothers have a total of 6 sisters, only Julia and one other sister are Julia's own sisters.

That is pretty interesting, thank you!

Is it even possible to homebrew a modern computer chip?
gduplessy··on SpaceX rocket launches Euclid space telescope to map the 'dark universe'
Strictly speaking for American contractors, I'm 99% sure that is not true. If you have any contract with the government for space stuff, all of your workers have to be citizens. I'm not even sure they'd let a permanent resident work there because of ITAR.
gduplessy··on Colorado governor signs tractor right-to-repair law opposed by John Deere
That really depends where you live, since this thread is about Colorado:

>The 2021 Colorado average farmland real estate value, a measurement of the value >of all land and buildings on farms, was $1,610 per acre. This is an increase of >1.3 percent from 2020 and 2.5 percent from 2019.

So we're talking $3.2mm today and by what the person you replied to said, I'm betting that his family bought that land a very long time ago.

I'm not a farmer by any means, but I just did a quick search for land in Colorado and I'm even seeing ~2,400 acres on sale for $1.7mm today. There's 15,000 acres listed for $2.1mm. I mention not being a farmer because I don't know if those lands are viable for anything.

Going to throw out a guess and say it's because selling you an item after you called it a bong is admitting that it's indeed a bong.

gduplessy··on Deep Learning: Not Just for Silicon Valley
"This 7-week course is designed for anyone with at least a year of coding experience, and some memory of high-school math. You will start with step one—learning how to get a GPU server online suitable for deep learning—and go all the way through to creating state of the art, highly practical, models for computer vision, natural language processing, and recommendation systems. There are around 20 hours of lessons, and you should plan to spend around 10 hours a week for 7 weeks to complete the material. The course is based on lessons recorded during the first certificate course at The Data Institute at USF. Part 2 will be taught at the Data Institute from Feb 27, 2017, and will be available online around May 2017."

gduplessy··on Show HN: Taskr - "Tasking Done Right"
I had never heard of bandit testing before, googled it and wow thanks for the tip!

Concerning everything, I'll definitely work more on that! Great tips, thanks!

gduplessy··on Show HN: Taskr - "Tasking Done Right"
Thanks for the reply!

Concerning the name, I recently realized I was conflicting with someone else's product. I'm working on changing the name.

The download button works for me, could you screenshot what you see please? Screenshot: http://cl.ly/2r2T212S3A3M1x100Y17

Price: I hadn't thought about that, I'll do some more research on pricing (probably some A/B testing would be helpful)

Differentiate from Clear: Any tips there?

And again, thanks a lot for the help!

"Taskr Keep track of your daily tasks!" <- that's the current header. Or do you mean a short intro before the sign up?

On the other hand, what would add to it so that it would have value to your eyes?

Right on the penny! :)
gduplessy··on Show HN: TaskrApp - Keep track of your daily tasks
It is indeed a project, I couldn't find any good app to help me keep track of my current tasks so I made this. I plan on building on it, but it's not meant to be commercial.

Yeah, anonymous lists are in the works. Just haven't gotten to it yet :)
