It may be cliche but I think tailwind colors are usually pretty good starting points :) They put a lot of thought into them!

I honestly don't think there was a conspiracy... but I wouldn't be surprised to learn there was more to it, at the same time. I never gave it much thought but one day I saw a documentary and its like "damn, there's a lo

I dare not think about what abominable one-liners newly minted college students with a AI coding assistant will create. I say that as someone that _would_ have made awful one-liners out of college to show my "skill" if not for the

Looks good! These are just my opinions; Maybe have the black background be off-black, and the green a tad less sharp, just for easier readability If page times could be loaded in a bit faster, just to make it feel a bit snappier. I love it

I think one of the worst things is how lying actually just works, even when people know its a lie. If you just keep hammering away, eventually people give in. I always knew numbers from China were sketchy but one day I fell down a wiki-we

Why? This is going to generate thousands of hours of work (collectively). To "nudge" firms in the "right" direction? Using that logic, there should be a bill introduced to nudge the California Senate in the right direc

Yep. The other day when one ran into concrete, everyone was laughing saying "its so dumb how could it do such a thing" but that has happened TWICE in my town over the last few years. It's not good though, not at all... its j

Maybe I'm naive but is there a reason why in an emergency situation where the car is stuck, control can't be given over to a remote driver? It seems like in 99% of these situations, the car just has to go forward a few feet or ch

I do think Cruise's responses to stuck cars needs work but problems with emergency vehicles and drivers happens all the time. I remember an ambulance was right behind me at an intersection. The right turning lane was free but it was r

Exactly. Everyone knows exactly why it was worded like that and I don't understand why anyone would even pretend to play dumb.

IMO, pretty much nothing because redditors had 0 power in that situation and they were kidding themselves if they thought they did. I personally spend a lot less time on reddit now. I was doing that before the whole API thing happened, lol

Yep. We're probably seeing a return to the natural mean and it doesn't look too bad for ChatGPT. I think the main issue they'll have is competition with other models vs AI tools going away. If they can lockin/innovate,

Probably the ones like the Koch Brothers and George Soros. Donating huge sums of money to win "local" elections in small towns you have nothing to do with is just dirty, IMO.

I guess it depends on how accurate you need the info to be. I double check its answers and it provides decent estimates every time but only after getting around the "as an AI model I cannot..." wall.

That's fair. Usually though when I ask these questions, it can provide an answer because it gives the information it needs in the response, it just doesn't want to take ownership of the statement "I guess there were X number

I would try to combine whatever you can. Make a side project about your PhD or workouts. Unfortunately though, there's only 24 hours in a day and there's no getting around it.
