Have you worked fast food? I have and I loved it.

I’m not sure that is a clue so much as actual boring behavior. I think using shortcuts as a warning sign is okay but the author here uses it as a hard filter. She lacks curiosity. She doesn’t ask the groom why he chose that venue. She did

I don't think that is actually a problem. For decades people have believed that computers can't be wrong. Why, now, suddenly, would it be worse if they believed the computer wasn't a computer? The larger problem is cognitive

Anything sounds good if you oversell its advantages and undersell its disadvantages. I find pods messy (they can stick together and break open) and powder simpler. Powder I store in a glass container and pour directly from that; never have

I strongly suspect 1998 was a typo by OP and he was actually pointing out the discrepancy between 2 Nov and 4 Nov WRT “this day”. However the article has been updated so only the HN title has this flaw.

My power company’s outage website is about the only site I can’t access through my cell phone when our power is out because even the “low bandwidth” version is a bloated farce.

Your substitution would make that sentence nonsensical. We can’t begin pure and through action be revealed to actually be impure. Both Rousseau’s and Franklin’s views have utility. One requires one to express one’s inherent goodness. The ot

Willpower can be used to suppress emotion and act in a particular way. This can be useful but isn’t an effective long term strategy. Willpower is finite and sometimes fickle, in part because of the physical reasons you describe. For most st

The question is whether credence, and therefore time, should be given to the claim that the performance bug exists.

Given that this news is generated I have no idea why the default would be to be in the native language of the sources. And if that makes any sense I would need to be able to select multiple languages I want to read in because I can’t read

There are a lot of stupid techs. Back in the day we had a tech of a consulting firm run l0phtcrack on our network and then brag about it to a bunch of our firm’s employees. He wasn’t even doing it to steal data, which is probably why he tho

I did too but have switched over to “bases” now that that’s in core. Before that I had an apparmor profile restricting Obsidian from reaching the web.

Let me be blunt. If you have to ask "What papers?" you're almost certainly talking about what you imagine the simulation hypothesis to be, and not the simulation hypothesis. (I acknowledge that even 'believers' ha

Read the papers and tell me how they are identical. You made that claim. Understanding what I mean by “carefully constructed” will require that anyway. AnimalMuppets comment suggests all if A, then B arguments are equivalent; but how you sh

The simulation hypothesis (which I’ve argued against before, btw) is a carefully constructed argument that concludes that if such simulations are possible, then we are very likely in one. That is not equivalent to creationism.

I'd be interested in your reason for thinking so but I think you can see your supporting argument is not compelling: > And comparing digging through the ground to human thought and creativity is an odd mix of self debasement and arr

While I think he has his cranky old man moments and he isn’t for everyone, his titles are far more spicy and hateful than the actual content. He doesn’t just hate everything new because it is new. He also has plenty of videos loving on thin

Your extremely close analogy gets to the crux of why people are disagreeing here: It doesn’t have to be analogy. You can be pointing out an equivalence.

It’s worse. Even things not written by AI—like this comment—will slowly converge with each other in style as humans adapt by trying to avoid the appearance of having used AI. It won’t even be AI itself that causes this but human perception

Can I just spend a minute to gripe about “cleaning” by stashing stuff away in the wrong place? + It becomes clutter in its temporary home making the things that belong there harder to see or access. + You’ll have to go looking for it when y

There has to be more to it. Even services I pay for (the rare ones that don’t also spam my experience with ads) pull from a grab bag of bizarre user hostile quirks.

Just so folks who want to do this know, the proper way to introduce an initialism is to use the full term on first use and put the initialism in parentheses. Thereafter just use the initialism. Always consider your audience, but for most no

I understand being a parent is scary and stressful. I wish I could tell you that goes away, but it doesn’t. However, your children, I hope, will spend far more of their lives as adults than as children and I think you should worry a lot mor

I use AI to generate lists of ideas. And then, if my idea is in the list I know it’s at best not novel and at worst cliche. There are many short cuts like this that aid the process but aren’t replacing it with dreck.
