I just found out I've been using my dishwasher wrong for 7 years

  Reading through that post comments makes you realise human knowledge is very siloed and many smart people will be dumb about stuff outside their knowledge. This is the main reason I feel LLM will be huge change once people start realising how to use it properly. Human might be smarter but LLM has access to a lot more knowledge and could find uses of a knowledge from 1 field to another which human would never think to use.

    >[an] LLM ... could find uses of a knowledge from 1 field [in] another Any particularly interesting examples?

    What you are saying is a large part of creativity. Well, that's an open question.

  Relevant - since there is more to learn about operating a dishwasher: Technology Connections' series on dishwashers - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rBO8neWw04 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rBO8neWw04 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll6-eGDpimU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll6-eGDpimU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHP942Livy0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHP942Livy0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Kp3bjm55xw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Kp3bjm55xw

  Speaking of RTFM, I visited my daughter's place and the new equipment there was a puzzler, with only little hard to see and not so intuitive icons to indicate different trays. So I downloaded all the pertinent manuals and figured out which tray does what. Mine is simpler, older, and (I thought) obvious. Cameras come with both a manual and "get started guide", the latter more like a checklist, a popular topic today. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42495262 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42495262
