Cups are not cleaned? I guess whether it looks more mature is truly a cultural thing. In most of the world, straws are strongly associated with children. But maybe in your society, they're not. You may argue that the plastic top cups l

Reposting this as a top-level comment because I'd really like to be enlightened. I truly have not been this confused by the comments on any HN post before and I've been reading this place almost daily for years. Is it completely t

Maybe I'm sheltered but I'm baffled by all of these replies. Is this a US thing? At least in Europe and East-Asia, it's unheard of for any nice restaurant to have straws except for kids. And it's not like women there don

Drinking from a straw at a nice sitdown restaurant doesn't look any more or less mature (since that seems to be what you're getting at?) than drinking out of the modern cup meant to be used without a straw. Cup contamination? Do y

This is already the case for e.g. gambling ads in certain countries. Recently I saw the first website that was basically begging the user to "please be honest" on the age popup, indicating a good number of people have caught on to

Agree with this take, though in an even broader way; they're optimizing for the leaderboards and benchmarks in general. Longer outputs lead to better scores on those. Even in this thread I see a lot of comments bring them up, so it wor

AI (of the type that OpenAI is doing) already is a commodity. right now. So the question would be "what makes you think AI will stop being a commodity?".

That's nothing new. Actual humans have been writing businessy LinkedIn posts this way long before GPT-3 came out. I'd even say such posts are even more awful than what GPT produces by default.

It's becoming rather common. Saw it on LinkedIn a couple of days ago by someone posting an image of a job application, accusing it of using ChatGPT when it clearly wasn't. Incredibly ironic. People who couldn't even tell apar

FWIW here in Korea the 1940 statistic still holds, yet I don't think youth mental health is any better.

This is very specifically about Tesla, not electric cars in general. The biggest issues that Hertz is seeing are particular to the models they bought, early Tesla Model 3's, not the fact that they're electric in itself.

Lying in public seems like it would include "lying to investors", no? Sure, lying at the water cooler doesn't matter. But the Solarwinds case seems to be about lying on their website.

Could you explain how else it would possibly work? How would someone prove that they were mislead by this? Me: I read their diversity statement and was mislead by it. Them: Nuh-uh, you didn't!

This is simply because it has become second (or rather, first) nature for companies to lie about everything. Stop lying, and there's no more securities fraud. Be honest.

> they can penalize companies that do bad things. This is inaccurate, and the article itself actually contradicts itself by showing that it's inaccurate. They can penalize companies for lying. If the companies just stop lying that t

Not to get all too political on HN, but the increasing number of cases like this over the last few years is the most positive thing I've seen happen in the US in a long time. And one of my biggest worries for the next administration is

Unnecessarily aggressive reply. They even said mayors of "cities". Not mayors of villages, mayors of towns, mayors of rural areas.

It could be that I'm just not trained enough on other genres, but I'd argue that the differences are generally bigger, and the genres being much more numerous makes perfect sense. Because "Electronic [Dance] Music" just

Depends on what you're comparing it to. This thread is about unconditional cash. Giving everyone $1000 a month, unconditionally, is clearly many times more expensive than subsidizing the minimum wage by $1 an hour - it's rather di

I'm not sure how to phrase this in a way that complies with the spirit of HN (open to suggestions!) but that's a pretty American take on electronic music. It's not necessiraly wrong, but it holds just as much for any other ge
