Why not? I'm assuming that the watermark detector won't have plausible false positives on human-written text otherwise it won't have much merit to begin with. If a detector flags something in your text and you've properl

Those aren't based on a recognisable watermark but dumb heuristics.

Are you worried about being accused of using LLMs to generate your work? As long as you don't plagiarize you have nothing to worry about.

Err, that wasn't meant as literal example because real conversations obviously have more than 1 turn. The only thing you could prove by getting a different result is that they don't _always_ do that , even if I shared the full co

Can you come up with a plausible argument for how that applies in this scenario? What they said doesn't hinge on some sort of "clever" technicality.

It's not that I don't enjoy taking notes - I liked to take notes, distill knowledge, make "cheatsheets" outside of class. To this day I still take countless notes when I learn new things, I just find it incredibly distra

If you want to optimize traffic throughput you can replace numerous intersections with roundabouts. Then everyone can go when it's "clearly safe to go", not just those who are turning right. An optimization that sacrifices th

Of course it's different in the countryside but we're talking about cities, that's where these changes are taking place, and most 80 year olds shouldn't be driving cars in cities or riding bicycles in the winter. They sh

Thanks, this seems to confirm my train of thought. To lose coverage the attack had to exploit that particular vulnerability and a patch had to have been available for over 3 weeks. A false CVE can't be exploited so you can't lose

Of course you learn more if you retype material than if you do nothing, but it's still a waste of time, comparatively speaking, because there are much better ways of engaging with the material like solving practice problems. Having to

I've run out of patience because it's always the same bad faith arguments, and because you feel entitled to tell other people what to do with their own bodies. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49147339

Not this shit again. I don't care whether you call it a cure, a treatment leading to complete improvement of all symptoms, a therapy that rids them of their problems, or a magic happiness potion. You can discuss the philosophy of these

That's a philosophical question that doesn't help people who are suffering. People are alive here and now. Some people will want a cure regardless. And we'll never have a society that's perfectly inclusive and understand

No it doesn't explain the animosity because nobody is forcing you to take the cure, but there are people who desperately want a cure.

There's nothing wrong with being autistic, that's not my assumption and I don't want to "fix" anyone. You're preaching to the choir about the bigots and you're right to be skeptical. I'd never trust a

And my words in no way implied that those were equal, or that autism was necessarily an illness or a disability. People often make those arguments and I'm not one of them. You're attacking a straw man.

If you try to reformulate that snarky one-liner that into a good faith argument you'll see how ridiculous it sounds. Yes, actually we should have treatments and cures available for anyone who wants them, for anything inside and outside

It was written fine. ASD is a disorder which was the first item on that list. You could make the same type of argument about disabilities (e.g. deafness) and someone pointed out that people make the same arguments in the deaf community too.
