Given how many kids are told to just "shut up and eat it" - and/or didn't have extreme pickiness but got DX'ed perhaps as an adult - I'd say there's a ton of research required to even suggest this as a p

Presumably you could do it just fine without paying if you didn't want the $1000 necessarily. Reasonably they'd still give you the $1000 even if you said "I don't want the money but you guys have a problem", and the

Honestly I think this is a great idea. My only suggestion is instead of being very nominal, it should be "reasonable" (so $10 and not $1). It's even possible to directly link this to maintainers/employees - if you can re

Technically if you can copy paste the qr code into any qr reader website and manually do it, I think it's possible? Assuming it doesn't change the code very rapidly every few seconds.

The thing is, if LLMs are stochastic parrots predicting the next word (aka, a partially decent auto complete), there's no reason it can't complete <specific question it can't answer> as "I don't know" - a

Yeah I broadly agree with you. I've tried by explicitly adding a prompt to "ask questions and clarify", and even fairly decent models like Gemini pro (2.5 or 3) tend to make question for the sake of it. Which reminds me that

Sorry, but seeing your comment being called dead by HN was... amusing. (I personally think it's okay to be amused, even if it's thanks to dead people. I don't think any mother would really mind too much.)

To clarify the title: The study did find slightly higher rates of men leaving, but it was much lower than the initial results (which mistook people leaving the study as people divorcing).

My best guess is people think it's AI written? I mean, I kinda get such vibes from it, but it (IMO) could also be human written.

My point or argument isn't that customers have absolutely zero choice, but that there are very few options out there. If (phone) OSes were truly healthy free markets, there would be a lot of healthy competition. Even cars and automob

Tangentially related, The Man from Earth is really good as well. Very few films choose to shoot on a camcorder, and fewer still pull it off well.
