Why do you believe that the sky is blue? What randomized trial with proper statistical controls has shown this to be true?

To say that anyone who says they are more productive with ai is making an unfounded claim is evidence that you believe you that the only path to knowledge is formal research, which you claimed to not believe.

The author is not claiming that ai agents don't make him more productive. "I use LLM-generated code extensively in my role as CEO of Carrington Labs, a provider of predictive-analytics risk models for lenders."

pretending the only way anybody comes to a conclusion about anything is by reading peer-journals is an absurdly myopic view of epistemological practices in the real world

All the statistics I've been able to find point to higher toll road usage among higher income people, not less.

Edited because I admit original statement below is incorrect. "You could say they are a flat tax since every driver pays the same per usage. You could even argue it is a progressive tax since richer people use toll roads more. The only

The problem with trying determine heading depth automatically is the depth is not something that can be deduced just by the structure. If headings are siblings, for example, the may be on the same level semantically or not. One way I'v

I'd like to propose for the list: Default heading styles should not have equal top and bottom margin. Headings should be closer to the content they label than to the content they are setting their content apart from. h1, h2, h3 should
