Perhaps... it's just that they collaborated with experts on publishing coloring books for five year olds due to some reason.

Well being able to extrapolate solutions to "novel" mathematical exercises based on a very large sample of similar tasks in your dataset seems like a reasonable explanation.

Question is how well it would do if it was trained without those samples?

How would you do multiplying 10000 pairs of 100 digit numbers in a limited amount of time? We don't anthropomorphize calculators though...

Tried OpenSUSE recently. They describe 3 different ways on how to install Nvidia drivers in their docs. Not a single worked, had to install manually (which kinds of beats the entire purpose of using a rolling distro).

Could try something else but seem but slightly like a waste of time. Also the DE situation seems pretty bad... KDE would seem alright but its buggy and unpolished. Gnome is an abomination designed for tablets (which aren't even a thing on Linux).

> Writing notes with a pencil. I think they make this pretty clear. Anything outside of that is either a bonus or out of scope for the device.

Awful/barely functioning OCR kind of eliminates one of the main advantages it could have over paper notebooks, search and indexing, though.
