In my personal experience, the rate of hallucinations is proportional to the technical depth of a question. Questions like "how to build project X" have a high rate of hallucinations, for example.

The checkout/reset concept is severely and confusingly overloaded/overlapping. Addition is confusing as well, although not to that extent. Changes can be in many states, and many operations can be applied (all the permutations of:

It should do it in a new tab. There have been discussions about it, but all the attempts have been abandoned due to spaghetti code.

"Investigations" without blind tests are useless. Try a blind test (the website of the sibling post is very interesting) and you'll be surprised at the bitrate at which you'll fail to notice differences.

It depends on the bitrate. AFAIR, LAME applies at 16 KHz cutoff at 128 kbps, and 17 Khz at 160 kbps. I don't have data about the others, but AFAIK a similar approach should apply. I'm not able to hear above 16 Khz. I've tried
