It's not a case of needing a crutch. It's how you value your time. "Shall I spend 30 mins grammar checking this product marketing copy, or shall I get AI to do it while I start work coding a new feature?"

This is a dumb idea by Claude. It's currently a binary switch and doesn't differentiate between "fix the grammar on this paragraph" and two pages of AI Slop. There should at least be some cut off where it applies and whe

"It was developed in the last 6 months" and "It was developed 50 years ago and millions of people around the world have used it with no ill effects" doesn't really require a degree in biochemistry to evaluate the po

I don't think they were developed in less than 6 months, and probably had more testing (and have had far more since).

Yeah. People are lumping all vaccines together in an attempt to boost the credibility of the COVID vaccine. Unfortunately what it is actually doing is ruining the credibility of all the other vaccines that have been around for years and are

It tried to, but a relatively new watch and not an easy button combo.

I was running on a treadmill a few weeks back, and was knackered so stopped abruptly by jumping into a straddle position with my legs on the rails either side of the actual band on the treadmill. My smartwatch interpreted this as a fall and

There will always be a place for common sense - the Greeks used to call it phronesis or "practical wisdom". You also need to distinguish between expert opinion and elite opinion. The two are not the same.

Apart from BMI, what is the female equivalent?

"Experts". It's more a Trump Derangement System meter at this point.

I don't know about the tech implementation but "Don't be a dick to LLMs" seems like solid advice.

Looks like they've already had to roll it back: ---- I messed up. At our YC afterparty, we offered free tattoos and said we’d be happy to interview anyone who got one. What I thought would be a fun, memorable way to meet people was, in
