I felt similarly. The generated page was really off for me — I had read most of the posts it ranked, at least a little, and most recommended as skips were some of my favorite recent submissions, and vice versa with dives. On the other hand

"In interviews, CEOs often hedge when asked about job losses..." True, but other CEOs often like to be dramatic and the center of attention, wanting to be seen as bold, cost cutting, and at the forefront of trends, whether or not

This is the thing: if RFK Jr were acting in good faith, and this had anything to do with a serious interest in scientific integrity rather than avoiding scrutiny of his antivax conspiracies, he would be setting rigorous standards and then d

I listened to this recording yesterday and thought the pieces were unfamiliar but didn't realize they were newly rediscovered. The pieces were more conventional than I was expecting. I like the album and the music, it's a differen

Putting aside the actual differences between that and this, I guess I don't think that should be required by the state either. If an individual theater wants to do it, sure, but I don't agree with the state requiring it. There&#x2

But those training the LLMs are still using the works, and not just to discuss them, which I think is the point of fair use doctrine. I guess I fail to see how it's any different from me using it in some other way? If I wanted to wri

This raised some interesting arguments to think about for a bit, but I think it tried too hard to be contrarian and clever and in the end I just got angry. Wirecutter, for example, uses data from "the Association of Home Appliance Manu

The US is long past the point where we need to stop talking about medical regulation generically. Some regulation and enforcement needs to be increased, and others need to be decreased or eliminated, at least in my opinion. To me this sort
