That risks not communicating the reason for the downvotes / flags to the submitter. I think the value of complaining loudly is signalling to those who think LLM write-ups are acceptable (some folks are acting in good faith without unde

The page forces a jump to top when in reader mode in Safari on my iPhone. Hostile. Wanted to read the article, but left out of annoyance. Yeah, but I agree with the headline. I don’t want to be tricked into enabling this “feature” that I fi

Once again, history and medicine are two fields that reliably make me happy. Dinos were my faves as a child and they continue to inspire. The way we (my family) mispronounced this one: diploDOEcus. But I also got Heredotus very wrong, so I

A new account affirming OpenAI’s PR message doesn’t persuade me. It’s actually harder to trust.

I appreciate the intent to hold large corporations accountable, but I've lost faith in the EU being competent at doing so. Not as if I see anyone doing it better, but at least others aren't doing it so poorly.

The thing that everyone thinks their smart phones do is true of their televisions and they probably won't discuss it.

This suggests that you were genuine in not knowing. But had you never done a quick web search? It's the kind of thing that I'd feel compelled to find whether I could change the behavior to fit what I would prefer. Anyway, if you&#

That's the sort of attention to detail that makes me love an app. Apple used to have this. It's why I became one of their users. My hope is that John Ternus understands why this sort of "spinning of wheels" is essential
