As long as we keep having to ask, "ChatGPT answered this questions but was it right?" it is a nonstarter. It is currently a novelty, not a tool. To be a tool it needs to be reliable.

I would argue that the aspects of culture that shape the culture are inherently recorded by the culture. The loss of one specific work known by very few can hardly be reason to panic, because there are petabytes of this content which I&#x27

I disagree with your premise so your question has no meaning. Anecdote is on your side. Facts are on my side: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2022/10/31/violent-cri...

Literally every generation of suburbanites and ruralites think cities are big scary places with violence and drugs on every corner. It's just being amplified in this thread because that's what social media does.

GE is a multibillion dollar company. Something doesn't seem right if they are claiming they can deliver radically cheap energy. I mean, what shareholder or board member in the right mind is going to say, "Sure, let's kill our

Since this thread is chock full of anecdotes, here's mine that is the exact opposite. I was completely healthy into my late 20's. I started a new job at 30. I got health insurance and figured for my 30th I'd get a checkup ...

But this thought process begs the question: what if this person is the one who STARTS the history of high cholesterol, and subsequent increased heart-related mortality. Or following it the other way, only people with a history of this are a

Did you go back to working out and protein shakes? Because if you did, you still don't know why you are reacting that way which could be masking a problem elsewhere, and are exposing yourself to risk. There is a reason why metabolic va

Not really subjective, as there are demonstrable instances where windows just falls over. One easy example: Bash/sh works the same on Linux and Mac. Nowhere on windows is that true: cygwin mangles paths in a demonstrable script-braking

> But at least “yes, it can do that” That's a good point. Hardware failures are far more costly on a Mac that on a windows machine. I'm so far removed from that being an issue (because I'm old) that it is a privilege I for

I didn't rant further, but Linux really is the best universal dev platform. I mean this in terms of examples, support, and tendency for developers to create tools, toolchains, and ecosystems from the commandline. This is because seriou
