If I want to ask ChatGPT about something I will, and the speech-to-text is a lot faster than typing on my phone. There's no voice incantation needed, rather a button press, but people still raise their eyebrows and make me feel self-co

I appreciate it and do it myself. If HN supported hyperlinks of our words the way html does we could just do that, but footnotes are the next best thing. Big unreadable links in the middle of what you're saying, even just one sentence,

It's much easier to change what company you do business with than what government you're under. I can't believe you're managing to turn this simple fact on its head and imply the exact opposite.

It's ironic you would cite Monopoly given its connection to Henry George, the historical figure who first proposed the land tax the poster you're responding to was certainly referencing.

No, they don't. I have been using YT Premium for years and never seen a third party ad of the type I assume you're alluding to. It is true they don't seem to even attempt to prevent video creators from adding ads within the v

Seems highly unlikely. If they made that policy then a good number of their own employees would immediately lose access to their google accounts.

No, the typical hackernews comment is yours. Take a very complicated issue, present your favored simple solution without evidence, then say "period" as if that somehow settles the issue.

We need a catchy name for this, like [Someone]'s Law. It would read: "Whenever someone complains about chatbots/ChatGPT being overrated, they are basing their experience on non-GPT-4 interactions." It comes up over, and

What don't you like about it? Anyways if you don't like it they now have the option to very easily break out of the scaling system by writing like so: p-[4px]. Can use whatever CSS units you want within the square brackets.

I don't think this is right at all. Tailwind comes with no opinions about your styles other than their default units of length (p-1, p-2, p-3) having a set REM scaling. Perhaps you're thinking of e.g. DaisyUI [0]? Or some other CS
