While I don't doubt that social media can drive some of these mental health issues, I think most teenagers are simply stressed from the constant work that's necessary for the college admissions process. I'm 24, so I would hav

ChatGPT also doesn't really understand the recipes it's giving you, so I don't know if I would trust it to make something tasty: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yT8KoWpqUgg

I mean, California already has both a massive homelessness problem and a major housing shortage. The prices from the latter have driven a ton of migration out of the state. Is your solution to just do nothing?

The best way to become a tech entrepreneur is either to start incredibly wealthy, or build a product yourself. I wince at the number of non-technical folks that have deluded themselves into thinking that they can "do the business side

I think these startups look at aging like a disease and want to treat it in a way that doesn't necessarily require an incredible amount of effort from people. Somewhere between nothing and spending all your time just to extend your tim

Nice read, and well argued. Tangentially related: does anyone else feel like ChatGPT's default voice is just... super bland? I read the "op-ed" the author linked in the article ( https://www.thecrimson.com/arti

Neat idea for a project, and kudos for getting everything up and running! Tried it once or twice, and the results are very hit or miss. "70s african funk without synthesizers" includes some stuff that matches the prompt, like Ofo

Another thing to consider: head over to your local Goodwill and snag a cheap-ass CD player and a few CDs. I don't know your experience with audio but I used a similar set of speakers for years to stream music through Spotify, and the d

Essays might not be the best way to assess reading and writing skill, but this article's reasoning leaves a lot to be desired. The author seems to value an essay insofar as it demonstrates reading comprehension, and not as a vehicle fo

I get what you're saying: it's a bit of an apples-to-oranges comparison since better screening means we're comparing cancers of different severities. I don't necessarily see that as a problem, though, since a lot of thes

I would only prompt someone for their gender when it's really necessary, and then use the reasoning for that necessity to form the prompt. For instance, how we ask someone to selecting a character trait in a video game should probably

In the broadest sense it's almost always better to attract customers by simply building a better product rather than some form of trickery, like making subscriptions unreasonably hard to cancel. Sure you might leave a little bit of mon

Supercars absolutely depreciate in value minus select limited releases (which holds true for non-supercars as well). Look at standard Lamborghini Gallardos, Ferrari F430s/458s, and Aston Martins of any model and you will see that some

True, but it never really seemed to me like the two were competing with each other, except maybe in the case of something intentionally gory like Mortal Kombat. The detachment from physical injury makes it feel less like a fight and more li

You've got some great points here about companies trying to bootstrap esports out of nothing. Ideally, the activeness of the community would determine what games can support professional play; bottom up, not top down. As for pacing and

Note that the author of this thread is comparing to European-style trucks. I am not a trucker so I would be interested to hear whether American-style trucks have similar flaws, or whether these are specific to the Tesla Semi.

So you shouldn't have empathy because it's a waste of time and emotion? That seems like a depressingly selfish outlook on life. I understand not trying to get up in arms about everything but to just ignore it...

You make a really good point, and while the color-price discrepancy remained true in my story for the 'stock' cost yellow and red vs. neutrals, my sample size is 1 model of car so it's hard to say how true that stays across t

Is it really though? Logic would dictate that while the market for a non-neutral color might be smaller, supply would also be smaller which should cancel the demand side out. Anecdotally, and this might be a poor example because it's a

I know rationally why a manufacturer would want to limit their color palette. I just wonder why people were more willing to pay for color in, say, the 80s than they are now. Look at the paint colors available for an early 80's Corolla

Don't mind the "wet putty" look specifically as much as I hate the related lack of color available on cars these days. What happened that made everyone want bland, boring colors on everything? Liven up, people!
