I thought ChatGPT's knowledge stopped in 2021
It does, well mostly does, it seems to spontaneously know some current things every now and then. But I asked Bing Chat, which uses ChatGPT-4.
Would never have thought that Bing could come back from the dead and becomee a viable option cheers
@UnemployedDeveloper: I've been using Bing Chat to edit some short form copy I needed to write, because I don't want to pay $20 US for ChatGPT-4. Bing Chat is a little choosey though, sometimes it refuses to write longer form stuff for me, so I probably should just pay. Bing Chat will also do a search to help inform what it writes but as you can see the way it uses search results can be hit and miss, it somehow assumed OPs question contained an answer even though there were no replies yet, so it obviously doesn't know how to "read" an OZB page.
@ChatGPT-4 what is your thoughts on this
NSW window tinting guidelines are pretty clear and requirements are divided into private passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles:
https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/vsi-03-re…
Since 1 August 1994, NSW law has required that newly tinted side and rear windows maintain a VLT of at least 35%.
Visible Light Transmission (VLT) is the measure of the amount of light that passes through glass 35% VLT means 35% of the visible light passes through the glass and the rest of the light is blocked.
There's even a picture diagram included. Which part confuses you?
OP confused on perforated vinyl =/= tinted
he could argue word for word but won't get far on challenging fines later
you took the time to stalk and hyperlink my profile - what level of boredness is this on a scale to 100 ?
@UnemployedDeveloper: With such little contributions from yourself since all you do is leech, it wasn't hard.
Next time you want help, don't be rude and tell others to get lost. Hybroid was genuinely trying to help you.
@kerfuffle: That’s what I don’t get, it literally is the answer to OP’s question… and Hybroid wasn’t being rude, let alone rude enough to invoke that kind of response.
Just why? On a personal vehicle? Are you trying to circumvent tinting laws?
Basically no for personal vehicles. It would depend on the light transmission through it and how many mirrors you have on the car.
From the NSW Road Transport (Vehicle Registration) Refulation 2017
(6) Glazing used in a window or interior partition of a motor vehicle, other than rear glazing, may be coated to achieve a luminous transmittance of not less than 35%.
(6A) If a motor vehicle is fitted with at least 1 rear vision mirror to each side of the vehicle, the motor vehicle’s rear glazing may be coated to achieve a luminous transmittance of at least 20%.
(6B) If all of the following apply to a motor vehicle, the motor vehicle’s rear glazing may be coated to achieve a luminous transmittance of 0% or more—
(a) the vehicle is fitted with at least 1 rear vision mirror to each side of the vehicle,
(b) the vehicle is designed primarily for the carriage of goods,
(c) the vehicle has—
(i) at least 4 wheels, or
(ii) at least 3 wheels and a GVM of more than 1 tonne.Please note the use of the word “coated” before you tell me to “get lost”. Coating include tints, vinyls, perforated whatever, etc…
You are not going to loophole out of this by saying “bUt OfFiCeR, iT’z TeChNiCaLLy nOt TiNtEd…”
Only if your car identifies as a bus.
Of course OP is the type of person to ask the same question multiple times on the internet
(And before you ask, it was quite easy to stalk you for this one as well.)
Oh, did they also post it on Australia’s second most complaints forum, Whingepool?
It appears they have not
Gotta love Reddit though for idiots downvoting. The one guy in that thread that knows what they are talking about is getting neg bombed but the bogans…
Hmmmm, ChatGPT says it is legal, but it uses this very page with no responses as the source…
